the "Tomboy"

Working on some concept art to be modeled in 3d... He wanted a "Tomboy" I did this as a rough sketch... I may try to do a walk cycle for her... just for fun, as I've never tried it before... We'll see :)

"Chicken Italiano"

My friend had some microwaveable "Chicken Italiano" for lunch at work one day... I thought it funny, decided to draw my version :) Did a little photoshop on him... mostly just doing stuff for practice now... trying to learn the ropes...
Makes me wonder what other dishes could be funny... *ponders*

Hellboy Line art

a photoshop sketch of hellboy... I drew him froma doodle I did (can be seen below)... will be colouring soon.

Aaron Coloured

I have a few issues with this one, although I like it over all... I need to play around with the lign thicknesses in the face especially. I need to fiddle with the colours as well... I'm not too happy with the the scheme.... C&C encouraged :)

John Coloured

And it's finished! Only took me about an hour...This is my second completed Photoshop drawing... I'm happy with it :)

John Cartoon

A quick sketch I did of my friend John... I'm really happy with the layout and style of it...I'm attempting to clean it up in photoshop and colour it.

Thai Long Neck Watercolour

Found a beautiful picture of this girl

...I wanted the painting to be pretty loose and sylized. I really loved the shape of her mouth and the colour in her clothing.C&C welcome!

It's my Birthday!!!

Yay!!!
The big 2-0....
It feels good :)

Samorya - line drawing

A line drawing (if you didn't notice *yeah*) of my main in World of Warcraft
This is her at a younger age. I used a pigment liner and some time at work...
Not much else to say about this...

Webcomic Character - Aaron

Some more sketches of Aaron... for the webcomic... I like the face on the full body pose, although I'm not such a big fan on the body, and the face to the right of the page (inked)...The blue and the left hand drawing are really not what I was meaning to draw. I couldn't seem to stop my brush from spewing out crap *sighs* :)

I seem to be having a lot of trouble with his "unhappy" facial expressions, ie: sad, angry, hurt, etc... He just looks old and defeated, and I'm not going for that look.....

Webcomic Character - Syd

Some more rough sketches for my webcomic characters... I had a lot of fun drawing the emotions of this one...it's funny, because this character had started out being my least favourtie to draw, and I think she's actually shaping up to be pretty entertaining...
The first expression is pretty obvious, I would assume. The second: She's kinda pouting...I would hope that these would be pretty self explanitory, but one friend didnt get the second pose...thought she was pushing her gut up with her arms... *hrm*
The third and fourth were my fave to do, and I drew them simultaneously... Kind of one is leading in to the other :)

Carbon Sketch - "sweetmadness"

Found some cool stock photos on Deviant Art : http://sweetmadness-stock.deviantart.com/

I liked the curve in her right arm, so I drew it... Generally pretty happy with it, although she might look a little wider when compared directly to the source material, but I think it stands well alone...

Characters for my comic...Edna

This is Edna...
He is a version of my dwarf hamster who recently passed away... While RL Edna was a little sweetie, this guy isn't. He's mouthy, manipulative, and, well....he's just an ass...
He has a Russian accent, although I'm not sure how apparent this will be in the comic...
So much for not doing backstory, hey? It's a little hard not to though, when you're posting a talking hamster... Something like that prolly needs some explanation :)...

Characters for my Comic... Syd

This is me...Kinda...

Again for the comic, rough pen drawing, I'm just trying to hash out the characters at this point, get their personalities down somwhat. I'm not quite that smarmy in real life...

The second sketch was originally a caracature of myself when gaming, but it suits the "Syd" character freakishly well... Note the dark circles under the eyes, the crazed gleam, the tounge out in concentration, actually moving "with" her character whilst playing... yeah...

Characters for my Comic...Aaron

These characters are for an upcoming web comic I intend to make... This is Aaron... He's an actual guy, so it might be a little strange getting into the character backstory here... All will become pretty apparent in the comic though, and there's really not that much you need to know...

The first was pencil crayon with pigment liner, the second just a pencil sketch... The scanner kinda washed them out, but...

Personally I prefer the first, the second looks a little top-heavy.

Hawksley Workman

One of my better paintings, IMHO...
I did this one a while back, but it's my fave, so I couldn't not include it :)
Its about 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 inches....I think, can't remember...but it's on the smallish side.
It's acrylic on stretched canvas... that's my hand... and that's my old studio wall... nice wall, huh?
I called this one "Paper Shoes", and actually (sadly) painted it for Hawksley Workman himself... I was going backstage at his concert and was going to give it to him, but liked it too much...so screw you Ryan ;)

Profile Doodle 01

Kind of a doodle that I liked, so I inked 'er and erased the pencil lines...When I scanned it in, I cleaned the mouth up a tad, and gave her an iris...

Actually inspired from this 'Fantasy Art" book that I had fawned over a few years ago, then I promptly forgot the name of the book and moved across country... I've been searching online and in chapters for the bloody thing for months, then after paying off my massive fines and the library, stumbled across it there. It's not so hot after all, a little better than most, but it's got wicked profiles of different characters... I really liked the nose on one, this is my tribute...

Gwen Stefani Sketch

A sketch of Gwen Stefani... My own private draw jam... I kind of liked the stupid get-up she was in, so I thought it would be fun to draw... I didn't put that much effort in to her face, although I prolly should have... I didn't make her anywhere near as doe-eyed and daffy as she looked, and I don't think her nose is long enough... *shrugs* It's all about the clothes, right ? :)

Not bad for the 20 minutes that I must have put in it... One for the scrap box, anyways...

Hells yeah

A pretty rough sketch of Hellboy I did...I didn't have a reference picture, so sorry if anything's a little funky... His stone hand should be a little further back on his arm, and his legs look a little strange to me, I have actually since changed both of these things, but haven't bothered to take another photo... ... I kind of want to do a finished version of this, all cleaned up and such. Prolly watercolour, but I haven't decided yet...

Some Older stuff...

An acrylic painting of a cat I named Noodles. He wasn't supposed to, but actually looks a fair bit like my cat, Pique. I'm not exceptionally happy with the lower left hand parts of it, I may finish it up one day, but not today :)

Hello Where?

Hello There!

This will be my very first "art blog"... It seems that everyone is doing it these days, I thought 'what the hell'... So here I am. I don't really have a mission statement (should I?), so I suppose things will just come as they come...

yeah.....soooo.... *ahem*
