King of the Ill

I was asked by illustration professor Antoine Revoy if I could submit a character design for the Character Creation class' "King of the Ill" tournament, where characters that students make are pitted against each other in a battle for the ages!

My character, "The Ranger" and (k)illustrator Ashley Ruel's "Triceratank" are teamed up under the name "Commando". We've just been informed that we have made it to the first round of the Semi Finals!

There are a lot of amazingly talented judges who were invited to help along with the project. 

Faculty judges include: Allison Cole, Fred Lynch, Greg Orfanos , Mark Hoffmann (who also happens to be my senior thesis advisor), and Rob Rey!  Guest judges include: Ann Smith, Cutter Hutton, Paolo Rivera, Scott Campbell and Willie Real (which blows my mind because I'm familiar with their work from browsing the internets prior to the start of this tournament)!

Thanks to the judges for selecting us in the first round! Head over to King of the Ill and check it out!
