Holy shit, I finally have a “Finshed” post to go along with the dozens of “In Progress” posts I make. I’m pretty proud of this one.

Watercolor, ink, charcoal, chalk, amd Posca Paint pens on tan Rives BFK. I think I did an OK job capturing my favorite pretty girl here. =]

Finished… maybe.

I’m pretty sure this is finished, but I can’t guarantee it won’t be tinkered with before it gets framed.

Boar and guts

Ok, this is kinda gross, but I had a great time making it. I used a Pentel brush pen, watercolors, a white gel pen and some farber castell markers. Enjoy!

When it rains, it pours…

Oh my, two new posts in two days! What are the chances of this happening again? (not good.)

Here are some new scans from my current 3×5″ moleskine, the poor thing fell out of my pocket Christmas eve and was drizzled upon for about ten hours before I found it in the driveway Chrismas Day. HOORAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS! =\

Luckily the damage wasnt’ as bad as I would have thought other than some slight rippling of the pages. A bit of Photoshop trickery was used in getting some of the imperfections those waves caused during scanning.

Old and new.

Happy Holidays everyone. Here are two drawings from my last sketchbook that I’m just getting around to scanning, and one recently finished from my current book.

Enjoy.

New stuff and crappy photography

In an effort to blog more frequently I’m gonna see how well I can pull this off from my phone. Consider this a test.

Wish You Luck

Hey! A new post! And not just sketchbook junk either! This is watercolor, gouache and some Farber Castell markers thrown in for good measure. Click to see it a bit better.

Watercolor Sketchbook Extravaganza

Ok, extravaganza might be a slight exaggeration but it is a pretty fun word to use. These paintings are from the last couple of weeks and are spread out between three different sketchbooks. I’ve taken to doing random splashes of watercolors and gouache in my sketchbook pages to give myself something a little more interesting to work on rather than plain paper all the time. Some of these are the results.

I’m about to start a new body of work, and I think these little pieces are indicating the direction I want to go. The direction isn’t set in stone, but I’m getting excited regardless. I’d like to throw out a big Thank You to everyone who has posed, or has agreed to pose in the near future for reference photos. I can’t tell you how helpful it is!

A little old, a little new…

Hello all, Not quite so long a gap here as usual. I’m putting up a mix of stuff here. Some of it is from before the last post, some new, and the big finished piece was started over 6 months ago only to be picked up last Thursday and finished over the weekend. This is in addition some freelance work I’m doing as well, so I have been keeping busy. I’d love to hear any comments, so fire away if you have any.

This next one is a big finished piece. I had lots of fun with this, especially the brain pattern in the trees in the background.

and as an added bonus, I’m adding in a portrait of yours truly done by the talented Johnny Segura. Check out his work here: http://auronasia.deviantart.com/

More sketches from the big SB.

Here’s more proof that I haven’t been totally lazy over that long gap in posts.

Some of these were made from reference photos provided the Octolady herself, Rupa dasGupta. If you haven’t seen her stuff yet go check it out immediately. http://anoctopusaday.tumblr.com/

ok… new stuff.

Ok, here is a whole gaggle of new images. That sketchbook that I started a couple posts back, well this is the end of it. Next post will be stuff from a new one.

And last but not least are a couple pieces of unfettered fanboy goodness. The Eva was done the night before cyphacon, and Tetsuo was done while hanging with my buddy John Davis at his table at the con. They are both ink and white gouache on pastel paper (plus just a touch of green on the EVA.)

I’m going to try to stay on a much more consistent updating schedule, but I think i say that a lot, so we shall see.

so many moleskine sketches (and some actual finished pieces)

Finally updating. I’m putting a pretty good chunk of stuff up today. This is easily the biggest post I’ve put up here so far.

(As always, click the images to get to bigger versions for your viewing pleasure.)

Starting off with a piece I did for/of my good friend John Davis. Sorry it took so damned long John, I hope it was worth the wait.

Gouache & Watercolor on paper

This represents about six and a half hours geeking out with a new mechanical pencil on a Friday night. Good god my social life is a sad sad thing.

Graphite on Bristol board. 11″x14.

Here is a new scratchboard, featuring my favorite carrion eater.

And now a bunch of new crap from my 3″x5″ standard & watercolor paper moleskines and an 8″x5″ moleskine. Some of this stuff is actually drawn from life!
