Snakey Woman

Aren't they all? *duck*

This is a drawing I did up for my friend Christina, from school! It's one of her characters I took an interest in and suddenly drew! Very fun!

Glad she liked it, too!

Roomie

For my roomate Hilary! Based off of a photo.

I may however redo the fairy sometime!

Life Drawings/Friend Drawings

Here we go...

Here's another drawing from a life drawing session I had on Amherst Island...

Also, two portraits I did of my friends Jaime and Hayley! Thanks for letting me crash! I love craft paper :D

Recent Stuff!!

Let's see here.... two life drawings from a session out on Amherst Island... I get to work with some amazing artists! It's great seeing how they work

And one picture I quickly painted up between work... so like.. 45 mins plus a little extra to do the background, I think.

That one is based off the song "Violins" by Joey Cape/Lagwagon

Sketches and Works in Progress

Some Hidden Leaf Shinobi girls, 15-20 min sketch each. And an update on my pirate picture! I'm a little stuck, but I'm gunna try and finish it within the next few days!

Streex of Pink and Black

Been practicing other peoples styles... got influenced by this guy:

Check his stuff out, french artist, amazing-- my friend Andre had posted up about him on Facebook.

He had a series of drawings done in just pink/black/white so I wanted to try my style in that colour scheme. Not bad! Kind of a boring pose, but hey

Psylocke

2-3 hours of fun and practice. Psylocke, from the X-men. I think there's a couple of adjustments I need to do first tho....
meh!
She's one of my favourite characters for some reason.

Waterfall commission

Gotta work on my landscapes more, but this had to be done within 2 hours and the person liked it. just wish I could of spent way more time on this :P She had given me photo references and how she wanted it. And she was happy with it! so, I can't complain

Fairy Geisha Commission

A commission I finished up for a friend of mine, Raven! She wanted this for her daughter. I painted it rather big, so the smaller pic loses it's detail, so check it out a little bigger. :) Might even put a bigger one for detail, no clue.

Shark Swimming Animation--rough!

I'm working on a game with my friend Scott Woods for the iPod Touch. Here's just a quick rough animation of the main character having a swim. Got the go ahead to at least put this baby up for now, dunno how much more I'll do, but I'll see if I can do the cleanup once it's done, too!!





And then the colour version-- tho this is me just screwing around-- the peg bar moved it looks like so he jumps a bit-- Gunna have to rescan! And do some better shading.

He'll be like, the size of your fingernail on the screen, probably smaller, haha.

Captain Kife Cd Cover

Here's the cover and cd art I did for my friends band, Captain Kife!

(I'll add a bigger version once I get the go-ahead)

I spent the most time on the background and wish I spent more time on the people :P Oh well!

The cd is a 4 song EP and my buddy Aaron (guitarist, singer, song writer) came home with 1000 of these puppy's to sell!

It's.. intense to see 1000 of something you drew altogether in 3 boxes :D And it'll be a great feeling knowing some people will have this disc in their collection.

So if anyone is interested, you can listen to some of their tunes here!:

Captain Kife
$5 for the EP, if anyone is interested. I'm quite sure they'll mail copies away!

Their official EP release is in January, but they'll be releasing a few cd's at the upcoming Moneen show, in Kingston Ontario (if you know, anyone local is seeing this) on the 11th of December!

Whether you want a cd or not, check them out, they've got some killer tunes :D I recommend Applications

Warmups: F-art Sketch heads!

Bahaha, I'm just dying on the F-art part.

Yep, I'll be 28 in less than a month, and this still makes me die.

First row: Bleach fanart- Katen Kyōkotsu are the first two chicks, Shunsui Kyōraku (on the end) is their owner. They're swords, so it's not as perverted as it sounds.

Then Michiko, from the series Tara introduced me too. And .. you know, Wolverine out of nowhere.

Beth

A painting of my friend Beth I owed her a loooong time ago! I think I'm slooooowly getting better at this painting thing. Slowly.

Used a reference pic of her!

Having fun..

..with an old drawing.
For Erin

New tat

though I'm playing with the idea of getting 'Devil' on the other shoulder.
Got myself another tattoo. It's kinda like my artistic muse, But this way, my muse is always with me, whispering inspiration into my ear. Though I more refer to her as my misery. She reminds me of mistakes I've made that I fix along the way! Learning from those mistakes, basically..

I want all my tattoos to have meaning to me so when I'm old and feeble, I can smile when I look down and remember them.

Woo, not to get serious or nuthin'. :)

Don't mind my greekness :D haha

Well... I'm very happy with it. Thanks, Cynthia!

Pirate in Progress

Old-New pic I'm in the process of working with!

Empusa

An old character of mine-- she's done on large craft paper in gouache, pencil crayon and marker. The background and effects were obviously added digitally :)

It looks fun, at least? Not sure which version I like.

Good news tho, I'll be selling off prints with Angel Card at the Napanee Fair this year, inside the arena. Woohoo to getting our art out there! It's a big event around here, so who knows what'll happen?

Fun stuff!

Some quick commission work I had finished over time; I drew the animals for my friend Robyn's sister Jen, who had just birthed a baby at the time-- so they were for her baby room. A giraffe, a panda, a flamingo and a cat.

The invitation was for her wedding. These were fun to do :)

Character Designs: 1

Old characters I redid in an hour each! Part of a huge lineup of characters I'm working on.

Adelleda, Glee, and Zoe. All part of the same story-- which is in my head :P

Velvet Alley

Digital painting practice... getting there!

Dedicated to a friend.
