Holiday Spirit Where You Least Suspect It Finished

More or less finished the greeting card design I will be sending out this holiday, played around with the lighting effect and details. Happy Holidays!

Holiday Spirit where you Least Suspect It/ WIP

-Because you can celebrate good cheer no matter where you live, or how much you have.-

A work in progress nearing completion for a holiday card design I been playing with multiple versions for..about a week now.

Speed Paint Environment series 1

Series of quick environmental speed paintings done in roughly half hour a piece.

Cardboard Crack Study

Something preliminary for a series I'm planning.

Portrait Caricaturing Transformation Practice

Some caricature done this past week as I been organizing and prepping for numerous other projects.

Campfire Doodles

Some drawings I did by campfire light while camping in a woods off the Hudson River.

Pile of my Childhood

I been trying to do more work thats inherit of my interests and memories, and that includes a money sink hobby in trading card games since I was about 11. Magic and monsters <3.

Wanted to submit this doodle ridden wallpaper before camping this weekend, so see you guys on Sunday!

Mischief Experiment: Cute Goth Model

Trying out this neat lil program called Mischief found here that has neat functions I haven't seen anywhere else. It has the function to indefinitely scale your work like a vector, but paint like in Photoshop, Sai, or Corel. The amount of tools is unfortunately minimal, but the basics to sketch, ink, and lay basic flats or values are all there and importing is easy.

First practice doodle using Mischief from a referenced source I unfortunately can't link because her site was shut down.

Inktober 20-21: A Friend and a Goblin

October has gone and past and so is the Inktober pen and ink themed drawing series. Most people I witnessed doing it dropped out weeks ago, so I'm surprised I managed to draw 21 of the 31 days I was free to due to other commitments.

Caricature portrait of a friend

Just a goblin lazing about.

Inktober 16-19: Imps and Fairies. Oh and Some Guy

Some more pen and ink stuff from the past week.

Inktober Sketches11- 15: A Big Inky Mess.

A whole batch of my better sketches this past week that I'm counting towards this little self imposed challenge of mine.

                                                                  fanart cough cough.

Inktober: 8-10 Jingle in Hand plus Pokemon

Some more inktober suff from over the previous weekend when I was up at RIT for homecoming stuff.

This one would make a nice spot illustration for something.

and more fan art cough cough.

Inktober #6-7 Genie Gal and Zombie Chick

A quick study that quickly turned into fan art for an adorable Gameboy series yet again, but the posing from the model was too superb to not use.

Inktober #4-5 Caught in the Rain/ Sleepy Tree

A quick cartoon figure study that turned into fan art.

Second one was a quick outdoor scene i saw, except by a child's request I gave him dinosaur legs.

Inktober #3 Turtle

Another quick ink sketch based on a request

Inktober #2 Dream catcher

Ok I cheated a bit for Inktober by using photoshop for colors but this was more of a thing for a friend that required it.

Inktober #1 Scout Eagle

Yeak I'm going to try to do this October ink drawing thing to pump out at least a doodle everyday.

Capture Critters Fan Art

I been messing around in photoshop and decided to do some stuff based on some of the new Pokemon that have been revealed being a long time fan.

Anubis Concept Work in Progress

Current digital painting fine lines and loose color study

                            

Happy Kitten

A quick watercolor pencil sketch from the other day.

bonus tattoo design I made for a friend.

Curious Fox and the Forest Door

Been meaning to post this days ago but time has been escaping me lately. I found out how much I love gessoed surfaces for watercolor and gouache washes, all those years of acrylic didn't shake off it seems.

My one regret isn't trying a more daring form of lighting, but I'm happy with the amount of polish and color I used in the end.

The title and illustration reminds me of an aesop fable.

Kitten Kidnapping

Something silly from my sketchbook based on a friend's children' book pitch, though the kidnapping part is purely accidental on my part based on how I drew the yarn around her hands. Oh well.

Small Foxes Painting Progress

A small update on what I'm working on with a series of images: a concept sketch, a color study, and the final under-drawing on the actual final painting. Experimenting with canine forms, watercolor, and multi media, and the finished will be watercolor/ acrylic mixed media. The end product will hopefully be a starting point for a style guide for my own personal childrens book still being roughed out. (It involves ferrets, not foxes, but more on that later.)

Some of the more notable sketches done during a week long camping trip for the Boy Scout Troop I volunteer as an adult leader for. First couple are playful logos of the sub camp mascot we were under, and the bottom two are of the fantastic man made lake dead center in camp. The cyber eagle is just a cyber eagle, enjoy it.
