"THE EMPOUSAI (or Empusae), MORMOLYKEIAI (Mormolyceae) and LAMIAI (Lamiae) were fearsome underworld Daimones who lured young men in the guise of beautiful women to their beds to their flesh and blood. Behind the deceiving illusion of a beautiful woman they were truly demonic--the Lamiai had serpentine tails in place of legs, while the Empousai had flaming hair and mismatched legs of brass and donkey. Later authors described the Lamiai as haunting ghosts (phasma) which also employed illusion in the seduction of young men. They were companions of Hekate, the goddess of witchcraft and haunting ghosts, who came forth with her from the depths of the underworld. The Empousai and Lamiai were the ancient equivalent of vampyres and succubi."

Journey Beyond is a personal project that I have had in my mind for a while. I wanted to use several space related photos and brushes to create a sort of creepy astronaut. The image was created by blending together various photos and space elements to create an eerie but fresh contrast. After blending these elements together and building up the composition I added some glowing elements and shapes.

Nike: Be True is a personal project that was inspired by the Be True College Dunk produced by Nike. I initially traced the shoe in Illustrator to get the line art which was then manipulated in Photoshop. This is also where I have added blending, coloring, and light effects to the composition.
