Here's something I did for the Batman themed art show at the Mattel booth at Comic Con, its a Batwing if it was built in 1939, the year Batman debuted. I tried to incorporate ideas from planes that were cutting edge or experimental in the early 40's, assuming Batman would have that tech first. The jet-looking exhaust nozzles behind the engine aren't just artistic licence taken in lieu of realism. That idea is based on an Italian concept called a motorjet, where a piston engine spun a prop and also powered a compressor that added thrust out a nozzle at the back of the plane. One of the many weird inventions on the 40s, the transition time between piston and jet planes.

Volta
So since September 2014 I have been a full time artist on retainer with Volta, a visual development studio based on Canada. It's been a great experience so far and I've gotten the opportunity to work on a lot of cool projects, doing illustration and concept art. Here is a small sampling of the work I've done for Hirez Studios on their game Smite.
