Ok got this colored.  I like how it turned out.  I was struggling a lot with the colors.  I tried to stay within a limited color palette which is a bit new for me.  So it was either hard because of that or the simple fact that I haven't done any digital coloring for months.

Line work done.  I'm hoping it doesn't look too busy once the colors are in.  Which will be the next step!

Sketches

Just some sketches I put together.

Hey guys. Many of you already know but I've started going to school at the Art Institute. I'm having a lot of fun! Classes are tough this semester, lots of modeling to do. I want to post some of my assignments and progress here. This was for Texture mapping. It still needs some work.

A couple concepts for character design class. We were supposed to combine three animals. I choose a deer, cheetah and bird.

A non-school piece I do want to share is a fan art from Game of Thrones I finished up just a couple weeks ago.

New stuff

Just wanted to share this piece that I did. Still need to sit down and tweek some things but I'm still pretty pleased with it :)

Fairies and Dragons

My newest stuff. The fairies started out as a sketch I did while at the hospital with Kris. When I got me cintiq (yay for cintiq, I LOVE it!!) I needed something to practice on so scanned that sketch in, outlined and colored it in photoshop. The blue and green dragon was another practice. The red, yellow and brown dragon is an Avian. The character design isn't mine and that info can be found here: It's for a contest on deviant art. Think it turned out pretty nice though I'm worried by the competition.

That's all for now :)

Ok its been a while.

A couple images I've done recently. I feel like I'm turning a point in my art getting closer to where I'm hoping to be with my skills. I know these images have their flaws but I learned a lot while doing them! Gotta keep pushing. :)

New Art Cards

This is a new card I have on sale on Ebay. You can see it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200206349284



This one is a present I did for a good friend, happy birthday!


I was trying out a new technique with my colored pencils, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do another!

Elf Characters

I drew these up last night. Thought they looked nice so I'm letting you all have a look :) Enjoy.

Been Going To School

Ok, so I have been very long in posting anything. This is an another Art Trading Card that I sold on Ebay.

I was commissioned to draw a dragon for a friend as a Christmas present. I'll get it scanned in soon hopefully so I can share it with you.

I've been going to school and studying Graphic Art. It's been a lot of fun learning more about Photoshop and Illustrator. My latest class we were working with Flash and I'm loving working a bit with animation. Again I'll try to post something I've done soon.

Dragon Rider, Earth

Here is my latest work peice. An ATC/ACEO 2.5x3.5 inches. Earth dragon, the first in series of dragon riders that I am hoping to do.

side note: I have done more than just this since my last post so I'll hopefully get them up loaded soon.

This are some pracitces using Mike Sibleys techiques. A tree, an eye, a dog eye and some leaves (slightly cut off)

my son

The scan wasn't very good but it gives you an idea of what I've been working on lately. The light shading on the face doesn't show up but it is there. This is Perrin at 1yr

grass negative drawing

This drawing was an excersize in negative drawing. The first and second row of grass seem to be leaning in the same direction but I guess it turned out OK.

WIP coloring in photoshop

Forgotten Memorial

The scan into the computer wasn't that good (thus the dark line down the middle) but it is my best piece to date! I tried to implement the techniques from Mike Sibley's tutorials. It's the first true background I've ever accomplished. Drawn in July '03.
