Hey everyone,
So I just felt like having a place to drop and share my work. I'll post a lot of older sketches, work in progress images and finished concepts and random things to get the ball rolling. Then hopefully I'll keep it going with new work..in-between jobs and such.

A phallic alien creature concept

[Shinypants]

i remember buying the advanced photoshop magazine with the house workshop in it. i really like your sketches and stuff... keep it up

[MikeCorriero]

Shiny Pants - Thanks. It seems like so long ago when I did that AP workshop. Glad you dig the sketches

This was done a while back for Kingsisle Entertainment

Just a page of sketches for some Asian inspired fountains and stone deities and such, nothing referenced.

A workshop character done for IFX magazine

Some sketches and the final sketch for the Character

A side view I had done when figuring out the design and what I wanted to do for the final.

Sketches for some hell beast creatures

The finals concept for one of the sketches known as The Grimshaw.

A bunch of fun little bot line sketches

Another stone fountain sketch page

A fictional bird concept for a long forgotten personal project

[MikeCorriero]

This was one of my first full rendered illustrations. I did it a while back for the first Thunderdome on Ca.org - round 1 topic: Demon Prince

Some thumbnails done as a part of a workshop for IFX Magazine

More thumbnails done as a part of the same workshop for IFX Magazine

The finale image for that IFX Workshop - A giant Alien Animal: Streamline Gravity Glider

A random rhino inspired creature I drew after playing Prince of Persia - two thrones

Final sci-fi spaceship illustration for an Advanced Photoshop Magazine workshop - originally the layout was done with the intention of being used for the Cover, so that's why there is a decent amount of empty "space" in regions, for the title and cover text - it wasn't used for the cover though.

Feathered Insect thumbnail sketches

A tribute to IFX magazine for their 1 year anniversary I titled the image: The Birth of Imagination

The opposite of the feathered insects, these are thumbnails of bird creatures with insect features

An old Imperial Guard sketch for a start up company done some years ago. I don't think anything really came of the company.

Lord Yauba - Demon character for Warstorm

Sketches of falling towers - ideas for an illustration.

Sketches of falling towers - ideas for an illustration.

Hi!!Thanks for droping by my SB!I have been a huge fan of yours since I discovered your art at conceptart.org,but not posted a lot at your SB or threats because I was going to say always the same: awesome,awesome,awesome!.
Itīs a honor to me to have that comment from you in my SB!

[MikeCorriero]

ACG- thanks for the compliments.
You're welcome btw, keep up the good work.

The first workshop I did for ImagineFX Magazine: An Army Summoned.

A bunch of random doodles on a sketchbook page

Badial: Fire Imp for Warstorm

Budding creatures: kind of abstract aquatic/plant things

Bevus: Ice Imp for Warstorm

Just a conceptual creature sketch

Bobenlik: Death Imp for Warstorm

A collage of sketches - creeps 01

Bithkin - Imp for Warstorm, I kind of turned him into a cave/earth imp since there wasn't a description.

Another collage of sketches - creeps 02

What I ended up doing with the face masked creeps: This was my first fully painted digital Illustration. "Desolation" It was kind of just a reason to paint multiple figures, a creature and a sandy environment.

[daniol]

Cool stuff man, the sketches are looking good ! More !

[BjornHurri]

great stuff buddy... show some more of your doodles rather than the finished polish piece. Would love to see some coffee sketches etc

keep on rocking! hehe

[MikeCorriero]

Daniol - Thanks man
Hurri - Hope you've been doing well man..you, Edite and the little tike too. Thanks, I want to try and post more sketches, doodles, digital wip's etc.. I've been too lazy to scan in new sketchbook pages.
Auzubaal - Death Demon for Warstorm: All warstorm cards are seen QUITE SMALL on the website in play, so the size you see them at here is almost 10 times as big as they will actually be seen half the time.

Some rough sketches of a living flexible tree concept. Similar to the one in Harry Potter (movies). I thought having the roots breech the surface of the soil and act as additional attacking tree "tentacle/branches-roots" would be interesting. This is an older sketchbook page but it might perhaps work for a personal project I've started recently.

A creature concept simply dubbed (The Watchers) Kind of like insect/arachnids watching over a harvest of crops in some strange way.

Rurik - Dark Champion (undead warrior) for Warstorm

Just some creature head concepts - profile shots - beasts of war.

A crazy ass creature - WARCRAZED - was just having fun.

This was just based on a tiny thumbnail. Perhaps an idea for a toy..

Another underwater warrior sketch for IFX Magazine

More sketches that were for some IFX work, and personal work.

Gishagul - Ice Demon for Warstorm


edited: for some reason the other day the inserted attachments only showed as links..anyway, fixed it.

[MikeCorriero]

Just more schtuff to share...
A long forgotten personal project. The outskirts of a small town.

A house concept for a long forgotten personal project.

A weekly topic: Something to do with a Home on the Move - creature design. Two things came to mind immediately. Miyazaki's tree spirits and Fragil Rock

This was a really fun creature to design. It was for a weekly topic, which I think had something to do with Asymmetry.

A bit of a Phallic design of a creature. I just did this based on a very small thumbnail as a time lapsed video process.

An Ancient Sanctuary, heavily referenced from an actual Japanese Temple..just modified slightly. I wanted to give it an Eastern feel but with an other wordly atmosphere and flora.

Rough character thumbnails: One is circled

The circled character thumbnail brought to a final pencil rendering: The Detonator: some kind of small middle/end Boss

A feathered/winged giant one eyed/brain insect critter I call the Pegadrum.

Some rough character sketches

Some rough character sketches

[Boykinov]

Great artworks Mike, i like pencil sketches especially.
Keep your sketchbook inspirational !

[MikeCorriero]

Boykinov - Thanks, I actually enjoy just doodling and sketching out ideas in pencil & or pen, over detailed rendered paintings.

Here is a decent amount of pigment liner pen work for a personal project I had started with a friend and then it kind of died down...but I liked where the direction was headed.

Gravity, Atmosphere and an entire different ecosystem were to play a part in the reasons behind the construction and design of some of these creatures.
