Dusting Off

2012-01-26T15:20:00.001-08:00

Hey there, long time no blog!

So it's been a while, and alas, I have been remiss in my upkeep of this blog. I have quite a backlog of art to post up here, so over the next few days expect an influx of new stuff!

Faun Song

2011-04-12T09:09:00.000-07:00

Just a doodle that got away from me a bit.

Dragon Age 2 - Anders and Fenris

2011-04-08T15:17:00.000-07:00

There Can Be No Peace

Let them Come.

Alright, I admit, I've been doing some irresponsible arting lately. A couple bits of fanart of characters from Dragon Age 2.

DO THE D-A-N-C-E

2011-03-03T14:02:00.001-08:00

DO THE D-A-N-C-E / ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIGHT!

Warmup doodle of Emily that got out of hand. Go go Gadget obnoxious colors!

Carnivale Stroll

2011-03-01T09:58:00.000-08:00

E and Remmy all decked out for Carnivale in Venice. This is one of those pictures I've meant to do for a long time, but never had a good idea for how to approach it, so when I finally had an idea, I had to leap upon it. _{_{(Sadly, my patience for backgrounds is still tragically nil, but all in all I had altogether too much fun with this :'D)}}

Edit: Hgak- This was waaaay too dark on... any monitor except the one I did it on. Here's a temporary fix until I get home tonight!

Remmy belongs to Miss Barb (AND IT IS HER BIRTHDAY TODAY. EVERYONE GO WISH HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY! GOGOGO!)

Dakazryl Portrait

2011-02-22T08:48:00.000-08:00

Just a quick greyscale portrait of a personal character.

FIGHTING EVIL BY MOONLIGHT

2011-02-17T09:44:00.000-08:00

WINNING LOVE BY DAYLIGHT
NEVER RUNNING FROM A REAL FIGHT
HE IS THE ONE CALLED SAILOR BATMAN.

...

Inspired by a discussion about how Batman travels through time. Apparently he was a sailor at one point.
This was obviously the natural progression, and completely necessary.

Batman belongs to DC
Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi

Commanda' Panda

2011-02-16T15:04:00.000-08:00

That's Commander Shepard? He's a panda! You're a panda! What're ya gonna do, big guy? Sit on the Reapers?

...So. In preparation for a con that I am going to have a table at in a few months, I have been asking my friends for suggestions of what to draw to make prints of. And one Mr. David never fails to offer this one suggestion:

Kung Fu Panda Mass Effect.

So then uh. This happened.

Mass Effect belongs to Bioware
Kung Fu Panda belongs to Dreamworks
This idea belongs to David

Tropical Trio

2011-02-14T08:27:00.000-08:00

Finally finished my Fruity Femmes! This was far too much fun! C:

Breezy Banana

2011-02-08T08:39:00.000-08:00

Continuing on with my fruity ladies. One more to go!

Hot n' Cold

2011-01-26T08:12:00.000-08:00

Hm. I think I got a little overambitious. Back to the ~~drawing board~~ tablet.

Please, Come In.

2011-01-25T08:18:00.000-08:00

Welcome, please do step inside. I pray you do not mind the mess, good help is so hard to find these days, isn't it? The Master has just stepped out for the moment, but I will be happy to tend to your every need. I fear the power's gone out, but please, have a seat, make yourself comfortable. Oh, the sounds are only the house settling, it is very old. Yes, the shadows at night can certainly play tricks on one's eyes, can't they? Rest assured, however, you are perfectly safe here.

The Grand Tour

2011-01-24T08:13:00.000-08:00

This is a picture I've been meaning to do for ages but have been putting off because arg background arg. Puck, the blonde Fae fellow, showing Racket around Venice.
I love these two. <3>_{Man, you guys. That background does not look anywhere near like it should for how long I spent on it, haha. Now I remember why I don't do backgrounds.
It's because I have no idea how to do backgrounds.}

Puck belongs to the ever-wonderful Miss Barb

Strawberry Sunshine

2011-01-10T09:52:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks! Been feeling super uninspired to do any sort of art lately, so I decided to do something completely project-unrelated. I had doodled this concept back in the summertime when I was working at the print shop, and tonight I decided to attempt it again. I'm tempted to do just a series of fruit themed girls. I know it's sort of a tired concept, but dangit, it was fun!

ToT - The Bodyguard

2010-11-26T12:56:00.001-08:00

Just a quick, colored sketch I threw together last night. This is Corona, bodyguard to Falk, one of the most powerful Thief Lords of Tamlin city. She is seemingly easy-going and friendly, and can often be found in pubs or at the fighting rings when not on-duty. And hey, she can do that walking coin thing with her fingers!

ToT - Hanna Alder

2010-11-15T08:57:00.000-08:00

Long time no post! Trying to get back on the wagon and do some more art for The Twins of Tamlin. Thus, here's a quick character image for one of the main characters, Noble/Mechanist Hanna Alder.
More to come, hopefully!

It's Been a Long Time

2010-09-01T12:54:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile.
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time

Commissions: Brett K

2010-08-17T09:19:00.001-07:00

A series of commissions I did for a friend of mine of his RP characters (:

RS1st Prize: Tales of the Skies

2010-08-13T12:27:00.000-07:00

The prize for the first place winner of Rogue Skies, Oly!

CCEE2010 Art Dump!

2010-08-12T15:55:00.000-07:00

So I've been neglecting my poor blog- But no more!

Firstly, here are the prints I did for this year's Calgary Comic Expo!

Rogue Skies 2nd Prize: The Raven

2010-06-25T19:16:00.000-07:00

So guess what?

I'm finally dooooooooooooooooooooone!

My art queue is cleared! I'm free to draw whatever I want for a while! And I can finally let myself catch up on posting my backlog of art! 8'D

First off, we're going to start with one of the two newest pictures I've done. This was a prize done for a tournament-style comic contest I held with Barb back in 2008-2009. In the end, it came down to two fiercely talented ladies, Bilious and Oly-RRR

[Image]Bili took second place, and requested a picture of her competitor: Raven(/Newt), inventor and madman, the Scourge of Clockwork City!

And here he is- This was really fun to paint :D

10 000 Lightning Bugs

2010-06-03T09:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, well maybe not that many.

So I kinda dropped off the face of the planet, artistically, didn't I? A lot has happened in the last... Four months. Leaving old jobs, getting a new job, a table at the local con. All very exciting
I have, however, imposed a limit on myself - Don't post art until the queue of work I have is done! So being able to show off what I've been working on is my motivation to... Do more work. Hahah... Ha...
But I'm breaking that rule just a teensy bit to post this sketch I did while listening to Owl City the other night. Hopefully there will be more art to come shortly!
But for now it's back to work~

SAD 020!

2010-01-31T00:05:00.000-08:00

Ouch! An hour late today! D: This started out as an attempt to do some traditional inking.
...I think I'll stick with digital for now. ._.
Anyway, just some headshots of my Dragon Age: Origins characters. I'm not really fond of how they turned out, to be honest. It was one of those days for drawing, I guess!

SAD 019!

2010-01-29T22:41:00.000-08:00

Theeeeeeme daaaaaaaaaaay!

Oh well, in any case, here is Rapunzel, with a Jungle Theme!

SAD 013!

2010-01-23T22:54:00.000-08:00

SAD 012!

2010-01-22T19:47:00.000-08:00

A picture I did as part of an art trade with Manamaraya over on Deviantart. It's her character, Turu.
Wonky umbrella is wonky, but all in all I'm pretty please with this.

SAD 011!

2010-01-21T22:48:00.000-08:00

So my brother has been getting me to watch a show called "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" or, in English, "When They Cry."
And let me tell you, it is Messed Up.
This is one of the characters, Rena. Sweet, adorable, possibly going to kill you with a big knife depending on the timeline. D:

SAD 010!

2010-01-20T22:43:00.000-08:00

Playing with greyscale today. He leg's a little off, I think, but this was fun!

SAD 009!

2010-01-19T23:16:00.000-08:00

Gah! A few minutes late today due to me working all evening! D: But it's up nonetheless!
Some random jumping kid!

SAD 008!

2010-01-18T22:53:00.000-08:00

Who is she? I don't know, but her eyes are freakin' me out, man.

SAD 007!

2010-01-17T20:47:00.001-08:00

A cute little doodle of my boy Racket, his little dryad girl Alyssum and my friend Barb's Fairy character Puck.
Working out a turnaround for my original alien race , the Daelan

SAD 004!

Sketch-a-Day 003!

2010-01-13T22:45:00.000-08:00

Today's Sketches are- Surprise!- more OC's! Now with super-fun paper texture.
Katelyn Ross (whose face looks a little wonky here, admittedly), and Dave the Zombie. I played with styles on Dave, and I rather like the result 8)

Sketch-a-Day 002!

2010-01-12T22:25:00.000-08:00

For today's daily sketch I decided to do a comic about what I did today.
It's thrilling!

(Ok that's a lie, shhhhh.)

2010-01-11T22:45:00.000-08:00

Alright kids, it's time to start this year's Sketch-a-day! 8D

...Sadly I don't actually have much to put up today! Haha, I spent most of today inking a picture for someone (which should be up tomorrow!) so It's just sketches today!
First up it's a quick sketch of Duckie (done on the bus home from work!)And secondly, some face practice! The fellow on the far left is mine, the other two belong to my friend Liam. (:

A meager start- Here's to better stuff tomorrow!

03-09 Improvement Chart

2010-01-04T14:34:00.001-08:00

Hey all!

I'm still busy with work, but I thought I'd fill out this Meme from DeviantArt that charts out your artistic progress for the past 7 years (: It's always interesting to look back at your old art and see how far you've come

ALSO! Starting on Monday I'll be starting to post up a Sketch-a-Day!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-25T20:53:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope it was awesome and full of delicious turkey and awesome presents and time spent with loved ones! C:
Sadly, I didn't end up doing a Christmas card this year, but I did take part in a artist Secret Santa! Here's the picture I did for Meoshira on DeviantArt of her character Sergei!

Update Dump!

2009-12-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

Hey all! Things have been really busy lately, so not much has been happening on the personal art front, unfortunately!
Instead, have some of the random sketches I've been able to do inbetween work

A commission from a couple months ago from my good friend Kitsu, who is incredibly kind and patientDone a few months ago for a contest on Dose.ca
Super-quick halfhour bust of my character from Dragon Age: Origins

Concept sketches for a race of creatures I am developing.Expression practice for a personal character

Lineup done a few months agoJust a shot of a personal character
Development doodles for my project "Curses!"

Deep Breath

2009-10-27T09:18:00.000-07:00

Yikes, random absence! Things have been crazy and busy 'round here for me lately, so I haven't had much free time for drawing, sadly. Hopefully things will start to settle down soon!

In the meantime, I did manage to do a quick, rough little doodle!

Long Forgotten

2009-09-15T10:48:00.002-07:00

Heard this song yesterday and decided to try "painting" without lines. Needless to say, I had (and still have) no idea what I'm doing haha.

EDIT Fixed her eye, it was way too far forward

In Perfect Harmony

2009-09-09T12:35:00.000-07:00

Erm. So I got a little carried away with a doodle, again.

I had this image in my head, and for once it sort of came out how I wanted (despite those ah, "special" trees in the background). (: This is Racket (looking older than he did when we last saw him and Alyssum, his dryad girl.

Also I listened to Within Temptation's "Perfect Harmony" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJbdlYGsmVo on repeat while doing the whole thing because it is pretty much exactly perfect for Racket. <3>_{Definitely requesting crits, esp. on color/dodgy anatomies xD (everything needs MOAR CONTRAST I think? I don't know D: ) Man I wish I'd planned those hands better so that you could see their fingers aaaa}

Alyssum, Racket and Art are mine~

One Truth Will Prevail

2009-09-02T03:56:00.001-07:00

Tinkering around with styles.

'Sup, Dork?

2009-08-06T20:49:00.000-07:00

Just playing around with colors. Eve being annoying, and Preston being annoyed.

Eve

2009-08-05T02:32:00.000-07:00

This is Eve.

Eve helps me PUNCH ART BLOCK IN THE FACE.

Despite my best efforts, I've seriously been pretty much unable to draw anything worthwhile for the past several days.
Then at work on Monday, I randomly doodled a picture of this chick, and I've been drawing her a bunch ever since, Who is she? Well, I'm not sure yet. For the moment she's just a fun character to put in super Action Girl poses. 8D;

Grab your Glasses!

2009-07-24T11:44:00.000-07:00

Something possessed me to draw all of the main party of the video game Persona 4 the other day. Then it kinda spiralled away from me
Characters belong to Atlas, but the drawing's all mine

Rylie

2009-07-09T02:21:00.000-07:00

Quick image of Rylie. Colors are hard, fire is hard, shading is hard Dx

Bendy Len

2009-06-03T08:17:00.000-07:00

Took a quick break yesterday to whip up a quick doodle of my alien, Len, who looks like he's either skateboarding, surfing or sliding, haha. Perspective turned out a little wonky, but it was fun to play with it anyway.

Flying High

2009-05-31T21:58:00.000-07:00

I started this picture several months ago, but due to lack or time and losing the file in a computer switch, I was only just able to finish the coloring. It's a kiriban image for the 40k view on the account for the contest I was running with Barb over on Deviant Art. Falingard caught the pageview and asked me to draw his characters Riel and Zin.

Tassi

2009-05-30T00:02:00.000-07:00

Just a quick little doodle. I wanted Tassi to be in the same vein as Zonni, but I went deliberately for extreme cuteness.

Zonni

Just a few sketches done on a break from school. 8)

Finally Complete!

For the past two and a half months, my class (Justin. Mike, Cindy and I) have been working from concept to finished project on our short animation: "Welcome to Villainville"

And it's finally done!

It was certainly a great learning experience. Thanks go to our friends and families, and to our teachers, Don Boone and Steve Rabatich.

It's online at http://www.villainville.com
