67th Post!

Wow...I really haven't updated this blog in quite a while! I've been kept pretty busy working on Brandi Bare #4 and all the Kickstarter art rewards that that entailed. (People that backed that kickstarter got regular art updates posted there, so if you missed out on seeing all the new art, that's where it was! :))

Anyway, let's post some new art...

The above piece is for my next Kickstarter...launching sometime in June 2014 (I'm still working out all the kinks and details in scheduling, but it should be soon!).

And some other random pieces...
for Zenescope's upcoming 2014 swimsuit edition:

and some of the rewards from my latest Kickstarter that I just wrapped up...

NSFW pieces coming up....be careful! :)

If you made it this far without getting in trouble, congrats! ;)

On a side note I'll be at Heroes Con again in North Carolina on June 20-22 2014. At Table AA-1506.

Hope to see some folks there!

45th Post!

Been in the mood for fantasy art lately. (playing too much Skyrim can do that to someone I guess :)). Here's a new one...

12"x16" acrylic and water soluble oils on illustration board.
and a close up:

and a photo showing the whole thing:

and the only progress shot I took.. :)

42nd Post!

Here's a commission I recently finished.

She's based off an anime character...whose name I can't remember right now :).
Art was done with acrylics and watercolor. 11x17 on comic art paper

Started with the digital sketch...

then printed that out and using my lightbox, traced it onto the 11x17 paper. (using col-erase pencils, of course)

and here's a few photos of the painting in progress...

and a close up of the finished piece (the pink in the background is a favorite color of mine, but it's too bright for the scanner to pick up).

35th Post!

been fooling around with water soluble oil paints lately (mixed with acrylics)...they dry so much faster than standard oil paint. I'm enjoying them so far. here's a couple recent ones.

first up...rookie mistake :)

and then a Psylocke (from Marvel comics).

 nothing thanksgiving related this time...oh well. hope you like anyways :)

oh, and don't forget to order the graphic novel I drew 'The Stereotypical Freaks' from Animal Media Group. You can order the book from their website now: Animal Media Group order page

32nd Post!

A couple recent commissioned pieces...

A James Bond themed piece this time. 11x17 Copic markers with watercolor background.

and this was a fantasy type Demon character. 12x16 acrylic on board.

31st Post!

I wanted to draw a cute viking warrior...because I'm sure they must've existed, right?
9x12 acrylics (because I was in the mood)

and the progress steps...(same as usual if you've been following the blog)

Digital Sketch:

Pencils (col-erase):

Paint progress:

I'd like to do some more with her...I had fun with this one!

13th Post!

Thought I'd post a few images from a recent commission. I just had a headshot of a photo to work with for reference, but it was a lot of fun. The final painting was 18"x24", I haven't painted anything that large in a long time.
Started out the usual way, did a digital sketch in photoshop (did a few different poses but this was the one we settled on):

Next up was the pencils. Since I knew going in we wanted to keep the color range in the pinks and purples, I did the pencils in purple col-erase pencil.

Then onto the painting. I had planned on taking some in progress photos and promptly forgot :(.
The when I had the painting finished, took a quick photo with my camera. I had also planned on taking a better picture...but realized that after I had mailed out the art. doh!

Final painting was acrylic paint on illustration board.

5th Post!

For today's post I thought I'd show a couple steps from a Hawkgirl commission (based off the Justice League cartoon look).
(unfortunately I didn't take any progress shots of the actual painting, sorry!)

first up, digital sketch. drawn completely in photoshop.

next, I print out the sketch. Then I use a lightbox to trace the pencils off the printed piece. making adjustments here and there.

Then we just add some paint...acrylic in this case, and ta-da!
