The world inside Mortal Shell is truly incredible. The amazing craft, care, dedication that the team put into this project is amazing and made it an abosolute joy for me to play in this vast world. For this piece I really wanted to find a way to capture the power and cinematic weight that Solomon carries. – Solomon – The Scholar – Existence is a curious matter. The greatest triumph in the universe, gifted, and squandered. I shall not make the same mistakes as my brother. When the moment comes, I’ll exercise restraint. – Illustrator – Ash Thorp Character Design – Vitaly Bulgarov @vitalybulgarov Character Design – Dmitry Parkin @parkin_dmitry Assets provided by Cold Symmetry @mortalshellgame – 2020
THE TERA – M.H.C. 002 – Of course, we couldn’t resist presenting an all-black version. The contemporary TE’s seamlessly complement this retro build, a testament to how well both have endured the test of time. – Created in @maxonvfx and rendered with @coronarender

Its been some time since I have looked at these. I felt it would be fun to dust some of these old drawing off and share them. I first started these as an effort to get back into drawing. That is my core and my root as an artist. Its my first love and first memories of working with art. Something so honest and raw about all of the imperfections that amass when the mind, eye, hand connect. I have over 700 of these sketches. Some are well polished and others are very rough. Perhaps someday I will come back to these. With the dawn of ai image generation I find it even more rewarding and imporant to implement my own artistic voice and imperfection. What motivates you? what motivates your art? Whats the purest form of your expression?

McLaren – 750s – Working with McLaren has always been a child hood dream of mine and being able to create this with my dear friends is hard to put to words.

LOSTBOY – 2013 – Growing up, the Punk rock genre of music had a big impact on me. Bands like Minor Threat, Fugazi, Black Flag, Operation Ivy all had a great influence over me (thanks to my older brother introducing me to them) The album covers for Operation Ivy were always an inspiration. Years later I would think back to those early memories and use them as inspiration for my Lost Boy art. The best inspiration comes from within and it often comes from the most pure connections you have with the world around you.
ORION – Orion is one of those projects that has lived within my mind for a very long time. I didnt realize this until I completed the series of 150 pieces. Its a summation of my interests in fantasy, sci-fi and cinema. An array of all of these disperate insperations. Perhaps someday these paintings will come to life and you will experience the world of Orion as I see it in my minds eye.

Collateral – Exploring cross-metaphor themes inspired by Orwell’s “1984,” this artwork aimed to flip the mirror on reality, revealing our growing alienation. Technology’s connectivity has duplicated our existence. While the anonymity in technological interfaces is a unique beauty, it’s crucial to guard against losing our identity in the vast white noise of cyberspace. – Collateral: Executed – 2022 Medium – Digital 00:00:24 Sec 2888 x 1440 Pixels Edition 1 AVAILABLE Contact – [email protected]

LOST BOY – 2014 – Each piece starts as a gesture of chaotic lines until an image emerges in my mind. This eventually reveals itself hours laters as some form of odd internal vision of a moment within the vast world of Lost Boy. My process is a bit odd and chaotic but thats where I believe style lives and grows. In the unknownd failure that is continually chipped away until something raises to the surface.

M.H.C. 28-29 – THE WHEEL – One standout element of this collection that holds a special place in our hearts is “THE WHEEL.” Exploring the possibilities of this component was an exhilarating journey for us. It marked a significant milestone in the evolution of Haste!. – Our goal was to reimagine the traditional racing wheel, infusing it with our unique aesthetic while retaining its fundamental usability. We challenged ourselves to simplify this iconic object, to distill it down to its essence, while injecting our personal taste and style into its design. – The result? A stunning blend of form and function—a piece of usable, functional art that not only captivates the eye but also enhances the automotive experience. “THE WHEEL” serves as a testament to our exploration of design, bringing us immense joy as creators and designers. – – HASTE!
