Throwing Knife Design

So I watched the show intro today and found an image of a knife. I assume this is one of the knives that the teams will use on the show.

The coolest part of it is that I designed that knife!! I was pretty stoked to see it on the screen!

This image from the intro.

Here’s two of the knives which were designed for The King of Fling, Jack Dagger.

Here’s a drawing I did of what the knife would look like with handles etc.

Cake Sketches

I did a bunch of cake sketches for the Ace of Cakes book. These weren’t used but I had fun drawing them.

I drew the top 5 designs from pics I was given of the original cakes made by Charm City Cakes. I designed the bottom 9 cakes myself and none of them were ever made into cakes!

3D Ships

Lakhwinder Singh Dhillon sent me a render he made of a ship I designed a few years ago.

It’s pretty cool to see your work in 3D!

Star Trek Phaser Concept Sketches

I want to build my own Trek Style Phaser so I sketched these out over the last 2 days.
I’ll refine these sketches and eventually make one and post it in the Props Section.

District 9 Gun Concept

I wanted to design my own version of the guns so here it is. I tried to keep the same look and feel of the original guns but wanted to make a smaller assault gun.

Ancient Weapons Pages

I was going to do a book of weapons with another Illustrator Ramiel a few years ago. Life and lack of time prevented this from being completed.

Great Grandpappy’s Ship Design

As I was rummaging through the family library, I came across this diagram which looks mighty similar to my design.

Sketch 02-NOV-08

I reworked some of my earlier sketches from 13-AUG-08 with the new Sharpie Pen. I fixed some of the perspective problems and colored a few with markers. I added the Car and the 2nd ship. The car is what I remember the Tron lightcycle to look like.

Sketch 20-OCT-08

I did this at breakfast yesterday. This is a variant of the ship I did on the 11th and would be used for different missions. I made the back area fatter and added a few things.

Lunchtime Sketches

I did these yesterday at lunch and dinner. I bought some of the new Sharpie Pens and used newsprint to draw on. The Sharpie Pens don’t bleed through the paper like the Ultra-Thin markers do.

I’m still trying to get the hang of the pen. I usually use a Bic pen or Pencil and I can do construction lines easier bit I like the looser sketching and dark lines I can get with these pens.

Double Engine Fighter.

This is based on an Intercom I saw.

Speeder Idea. Nacelles are nice but I might add wings instead.
