Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

Dark, imposing, fear-inducing and fancy headwear are the things that define Darth Vader for me visually and I tried to keep those four things in my design. I show the top of his head so he doesn’t come across as a full robot but kept the breathing mask thingy that is so iconic of the [...]

If you’ve been following me on deviantART, you already know that I’ve been working on some character designs for this guy and his story, Crimson (all of which I’ve been asked to mention is owned and copyrighted by him). I’ve asked for his permission to post these of course, but I’ve been holding off on doing that until [...]

Trying to bring my airbrushing up to snuff. I went out of my way to not use any outlines and it all worked out pretty well overall. I’m learning that results with this method aren’t instantaneous and that you really have to work and build the figure. Was completed entirely in Photoshop with nothing but [...]

I wanted to do something to celebrate my 10,000+ pageviews on deviantART so here it is. Aside from the general pose and stuff, I really had no idea what I was going for when I started to work on this but I do kinda like how it turned out technique-wise. It’s a method I want [...]

Trying some new stuff for this week’s SKRATCHJAMS. There was an initial instinct to go minimalist just because of the boldness of the outfit but I decided to go in another direction. The always amazing *WarrenLouw has a tutorial up and I gave his technique a shot. It’s nowhere near as tight as his stuff but [...]

It’s been a terrible time for me as artist lately. I scrapped at least five different pieces before I was finally satisfied with the one above and I’m still not too crazy about it. Give me solid black lines and flat shading and I can do wonders but I’m having a really hard time painting [...]

I’ve taken on some commissions over the past few months so I thought I’d make it official by throwing some information out there that’ll hopefully make the process a little easier on both ends. Check out the details here.

Just a quick exercise before I get to the stuff I should be doing.

The challenge for this week’s SKRATCHJAMS was to reinvent a video game character in a noir setting, the caveat being that it had to be done in traditional media. Truth to be told, I almost didn’t enter this week because I wanted to continue working on my digital stuff but I forced myself because I [...]

This is the culmination of my current Pokémon obsession. It’s what my main party will most likely end up looking like. And no, I don’t want to hear about the redundancy of having two Electric types or about how I’m missing X type to go against Y type. I haven’t played these games since the [...]
