Weddingk'

I rarely do commissions, but I couldn't NOT try this one.  Done for a friend in commemoration of her recent wedding, just in time for Christmas.  I'm HOPING it prints well.

Hipcoins!

Finished up a drawing for a friend that has taken me WAY too long, but!  I really like it.  I'm checking things off of the Unfinished list, really looking forward to getting on with new projects in 2013.

Dryad

Some digital painting/environmental practice, inspired by a superawesome friend!

Things to practice more of!  Trees rocks clouds sky! grass people lighting.  eesh.

Update!

Sketchin': Just a bit of work with photoshop, trying to hammer out different ways to color.

I am going to Vancouver this month!  Tom Scholes is giving a talk on digital art techniques, and I'm making a trip out of it.

Portraits

Just finished up this trio of portraits for some friends' characters in the game Everquest 2; they were a TON of fun.  Vaguely medieval pinup-y in my mind.  I may have also gone a bit overboard with the splattery texture.  I've included a few work-in-progress screenshots just for posterity's sake! I'm excited to be wrapping up these character portraits, soon I plan on buckling down and returning to environments... and modeling, and cartoons..  basically a whole lot of new stuff coming up.  I'm still taking time off of Facebook, which I guess is the modern equivalent of becoming a crazy hermit.  It'll be cool to see what sort've art I'll be  posting there a year from now.

Some new stuff coming up before the month is over.

Catch-up

Before and after pieces are always fun and disturbing.  Here is my first EVER tablet drawing and my latest tablet drawing, with about seven years in between.  I've been working on drawing for almost a decade now, it's pretty surreal.

Booky inspiration

I took a short trip to Montana and spent almost the whole time a) staring at mountains and b) reading "The Mists of Avalon" which I had to leave behind and therefore must find in Seattle as soon as possible.

This is loosely inspired by that.  I am having a ton of fun trying to learn environmental drawing.

Avatar

I've decided to take a year off from Facebook and really focus on drawing.  I realize that social networking is really important to artists these days, but I figure a year off isn't going to hurt me much at this point.

Tonight's drawing is the start of a big series based on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Azula

Some fanart of Azula from the Avatar cartoon.

Snitchwatch

I'm not really sure what to write for a first post.  I'm going to put up art as I do it, and hopefully there will be an improvement!  Thanks for watching.

Old Pieces

A few pieces done before the blog launched, digital and traditional both.
