Anchorman: The Return of Ron Burgundy!!

Hey there folks! Hot on the heels of the announcement of an Anchorman sequel, here is my tribute to the legendary Ron Burgundy playing his favorite "Yazz" Flute! Thanks for stopping by!!

The Walking Dead: A TV Tribute

Back again tonight with a few new character paintings, this time based on another one of my favorite shows, AMC's The Walking Dead based on the graphic novel by Robert Kirkman! These two were a lot of fun, especially the part of delving into a different timeline and some more intense subject matter. Both Shane and the Mud Walker play crucial roles in the new season, so I thought it would be fun to start with those. More to come soon! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Portfolio Update!

I'm back today with a portfolio update featuring a small sample of work that I did for the game, Ravenskye City! The images above are of two maps that I painted and designed. The top map called "The Ravenskye Interior" also features choral designed by Jerry Tzeng! You can head over to brandonpikeportfolio.blogspot.com to see more!

Deputy Halloran

So here is the last painting in my first series of Boardwalk Empire characters, Deputy Halloran! These studies have been a blast and I definitely plan on doing some more, but for now, I'll cap it with this one, while I explore some other sources of inspiration! Thanks for looking! -B

My "Boardwalk Empire" series continues tonight with my take on Jimmy's creepy mom, Gillian Darmody

Boardwalk Empire

One of my favorite shows right now has to be HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Set during Prohibition, the show features the early beginnings of organized crime and the individuals that gave it a face. Here is a sketch of one of my favorite characters on the show, the dangerous and disturbing Jimmy Darmody!

Ravenskye City and OBU Interactive

Hey everybody! I hope everyone is having a great holiday season! I'm back tonight with a freelance illustration and a plug for the game I've been working on! The freelance illustration was for a holiday card featuring the awesome employees of OBU interactive. They each had a favorite superhero in mind for the card, which led to a really fun project.

As for the game, I've been honored to work among some amazing folks at Lolapps as a 2D and concept artist on an iso-based facebook game called Ravenskye City! I'm hoping to post some of my work soon, but for now go check out the game on Facebook! I was privledged to help work on everything from plants, buildings, to decos, and maps!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Much more on the way!
