Mike Burns Illustration: The Temptation of Majora
http://artburns.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-temptation-of-majora.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. The Temptation of Majora. There's been a lot of buzz about Majora's Mask lately with the remastered game coming out on the 3DS. I pre-ordered the game (had to get the gold cartridge) when it first came out back in 2000. And it was one of those games that really stuck with me thanks to it's dark and unsettling atmosphere, some great new gameplay features, and some really cool designs. Do you want to play with me?

Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Sporegorger Thallid's baby pictures and ageing - Process. I wanted to share some process shots of this piece for anyone who's into that sort of thing. At each step I'll go into what major changes I made as well as why I decided to do so. 5 Decided that based on my lighting setup, the far-side of the creature's back probably wouldnt be getting hit with as much light so I put it in shadow. I added some color variation in the green tendril areas of the creature and defined t...

Monday, January 20, 2014. Taking the dive.my Journey to the far off land of New Yorkshire (aka NYC). The last 3 months have been a crazy ride for me, and I've been wanting to write a post to sum up what's been going on lately. On November 5th, 2013 I got an email that would completely flip my world upside down. The interview went pretty bad. The wait was torture. I got the job. And everything was great from there on right? A very special thank you to my girlfriend Amabel, who was one of my inside people ...

Friday, October 18, 2013. First up is my Owlbear piece. This piece has gone through revisions before. During my first pass at revising this piece I mainly focused on adding some more detail and finesse, but during my portfolio review with Robh Ruppel. I learned a few new things I could do to make the piece really pop more. Mainly adding more muscle definition in the extended arm to really give a feel of action and ferocity.

Monday, April 21, 2014. My First Job for Wizards of the Coast - Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition: Xorn. Xorn - Linked from the Escapist. About a week ago at PAX East, there was a Dungeons and Dragons panel where they spoiled some of the artwork for the upcoming 5th Edition. And since a painting of mine was shown before the audience in attendance for the panel, I think now is as good a time as ever to announce that I did my first work for D&D that will be published in the 5th edition Monster Manual! I've ...

Thursday, March 5, 2015. Red Wedding Still Life ( process). Here's a new piece I recently finished up for the Game of Thrones Compendium. Thing going on. Hoping to get some publicity through that with this still life depicting the Red Wedding. I thought it would be an interesting idea to depict the Red Wedding scene from the books by only using objects. There's so much great symbolism in the books that I wanted focus on that for this painting. Here's the step by step:. Monday, March 2, 2015. I am a profe...
