Character work





Here is some character work I've been doing for an upcoming project. Getting to know characters well enough to draw them again and again, while still being consistent, is pretty tough! I enjoy it a lot though. There are two more main characters I haven't managed to complete yet, but here's hoping I'll put them up sometime soon!

Character Design


A tentative character design for a project I'm working on. Her arms/hands are a little weird...

The Three Little Pigs


So I've been working on this project for a client for a while now, "The Three Little Pigs." Here is the cover without text.

Originally the wolf was in this picture, watching the pigs from behind a tree, but the client wanted a simply happy image without the wolf.

I gotta upload more stuff someday. But that's it for now, space rangers.

Halloween!




So my brother Seth has a birthday tomorrow. Having such a celebration three days before Halloween is about the same as any other holiday birthday: the national holiday gets mapped onto your birthday too. Sometimes that can be annoying, but Halloween is about the coolest holiday ever. That said, this is the birthday card I made for my bro. Super traditional for Halloween, not as much for birthdays. He'll live.

A Fine Frenzy


This is my attempt at Alison Sudol, also known as "A Fine Frenzy." I stylized her somewhat and now find myself wishing I'd stylized either much more or much less.

Regardless, this is my tribute to one of my favorite musicians. I'd like to do a portrait that is good enough to send her, someday. She has influenced me in many ways, and for the better. A Fine Frenzy's music is clean, unique, and enchanting. Alison retains her own style and absolute femininity in her singing. I love listening to her music on good days, bad days, and those in-between sort of days. She also looks cool, so naturally I had to try to paint her. If you haven't heard of her before, check out her website.

Or just start with one of my favorite songs by her, "You Picked Me."


Also, any critiques would be great. I am not really comfortable with portrait painting and it's something I haven't studied, so I know there are better ways of doing things! I'd appreciate any input on this one.

Some pretty people



Hey everyone! I have been very busy with work and art lately.
I have been working on nine commissions for this year's Nan Desu Kan. They've been soaking up a lot of time. Secondly I have been commissioned for a children's e-book, an interactive version of the classic story "The Three Little Pigs." Yes; between drawing silly characters and glorified bacon, I have had a lot going on. Here is a little sketch I did a couple of weeks ago to break things up a bit.


Also there is a picture of what I kind of envisioned when I thought of crossing Asian style with Steampunk. Did this a couple months ago, but here it is.

Someday there will be more art. That's it for now, space rangers.

Ye Aulde Chariot


Here's something I'm working on for class. I got a little carried away when I found that I could make a grumpy old man head with simple extrusions. WIP away!
