Some big cheetah balls for Jasiri
I got some new paper from dickblick called Yupo heavy which is SUPPOSEDLY great for water media but really it fought me all the way. No buckling but it was mad resistant. A real pain!!
Seemed like it...
Sketch that will be painted up for some convention or another. I might do it in real media and might do it digitally? Not sure yet!

A collection of digital doodling.
After what feels like weeks of an absolutely incredible sinus headache I feel like I finally got things moving in there and oh my God the difference is night and day. I actually WANT to make artwork ra...

Some in the last bunch were better than others, so I made two more to make up for the flubs.

That's 17 total! But I might make a few more be cause I had some duds.

Eight more to go! Though I might do an extra one or two.

Talin is one of my favorite commissioners who regularly gets lots of sketches and then chooses some of them for color. MFF didn't happen last year and I wound up sitting on them a bit, but it's on this year. It miiiiight get canceled due to anothe...

I use a wet palette for acrylic painting. It keeps the paint wet and workable.
So I figured, if a wet palette keeps paint wet and workable, what if I made one for the painting?
So far, the response is interesting. It...
Did a few more designs. The PSD is in the attachments if you wanna make your own.
And then some sketches

Someone asked me for some critique on their work and I thought you dudes might also want to see it. They told me I could but expressed a little concern that someone might take from their original material. So if anyone does that, I'm coming ...

Things have been a little slow artwise but very good lifewise. I've been doing some massive full-room cleaning, and have been getting more and more exercise lately, which is very good for my mental and physical states. It feels good to get out! We...

A finished commission, some art fight stuff, patches I painted with my roommate, and just goofy doodles from a goofy dream I had.
Went out on another photo collection trip. Here's some of the better ones. I'll turn them into practice paintings or maybe even a more complex painting.

Went out on a ref-collecting hunt today to Deschutes Falls. Here are some of the better images I managed to get.

Putting the 'I'm done' rubber stamp on this one. Yalith has very interesting characters with a lot of detail and I was very honored that she chose me for the job of creating a ref sheet. The iridescent effect on the lady's skin was especially fun ...

One more realistic one of a dragon curled up in a rose. It was painted with gouache first for the background and then matte acrylic over that. I don't think I'll ever go back to regular acrylic >_> It's just so reflective.
Something like a table arrangement is something that SEEMS easy but this thing took me hours. I wasn't sure where to start and I have no idea how it will look in the VR room of Anthrocon. We'll see!
Also I sketched out my first pin-up of a...
This wasn't a great sketch to start with so I didn't take it to a really clean finish. I do like the idea behind it, though.

Pshew, started this Thursday but some crazy nonsense went down with a visceral infection and an ER visit (my roommate, not me, but it interrupted my work!)
This was just meant to be a study but turned into a several-day painting.
Definitely WAY better than working at my computer. My psychology is so much calmer and more relaxed and my posture is sloooowly correcting. I feel 100% better with it.
So I wanted to start another book project--pinups like the old 50s illu...
The gnoll warlock. Belongs to my roommate. Gonna stick her up on Art Fight and get some art for him

It occurred to me that some of my patrons might be curious about my day-to-day, since being an artist can sometimes be a lifestyle just as much as a job. And I think patrons perhaps more than regular fans are invested in the general well-being of ...

FOR NOW I'm uploading these under the $2 tier but I'm going to move them up to $5 or $10 when I begin to do them more regularly/when I get better at composition and have correct authoritative information beyond me being like: I'm trying this.

Thanks to all the good folks supporting me monthly I was able to get a new workstation!
I'm too old to continue to hunch over my real media. Especially the last few years it has been very uncomfortable. So I finally got some tools that wil...
Sudden warm weather really wrecked my sleep and man. I could accomplish jack diddly today. Just these goofy doodles

I had a few bigish purchases lately--an emergency vet bill, a drafting table and new chair--so I took some sketch commissions, and here they are! (and some other stuff)
