I am an aspiring concept artist. As a young lad in Northwestern Ontario, I spent a lot of time with monsters. Movies, comics, Fangoria magazine, all fuel for the fire.
As I got older and moved away from the middle of nowhere, I learned that there was actually a way to make a living at this. I continue to work hard, developing my skills and expanding my imagination.
Hope you like what you see, folks. Opinions and critique are always more than welcome.

Enjoy,
Ron McKenzie

LIFE AFTER SUNDOWN

Thu Jan 29, 2009, 7:28 AM
For a while now, I've been blabbing on and on about a book I'm doing with fellow Deviant, theNik. After much talking and not enough doing, we're finally buckling down and getting this thing committed to paper.
It's called LIFE AFTER SUNDOWN, and it's an urban horror/fantasy set in our stomping grounds, Toronto, Ontario. Long story short, it's the kind of book I would read. Demons, vampires, folklore, supernatural serial killers, action, violence and humour. Nik came to me with the original idea, and the two of us have spent the better part of two or three years building up the universe, setting the characters and writing up our "bible". Over the next couple of months, I will be putting up more concept work and sneak peeks. TheNik is handling the heavylifting with layouts and pencils, I'll be putting words to those pictures. As these updates come, art for the book will be showing up here:[link]
I'm excited to finally be taking this out of the prototype stage and into final copy. I hope you guys like what you see. In time, we might actually put together a LAS dedicated page here on Deviantart, because frankly, this is our audience. With the sheer scope of talent here, getting your opinions and feedback is nothing short of crucial.
So stay tuned, because things are going to get interesting After Sundown.

It's not what's on the page, it's what's in your heart. Skill can be acheived through practice, but passion can not.
I knew you were, pyro.
I was merely commenting on how spectacularly bad OUR sci-fi channel is, compared to south of the border.
Seriously... it's the dog's **s.
