Comic #1

I did a very short series of small comics in monochrome or two tone with pen and pencil.

A comic I made for a friend who was having a tough time.

I am regularly inspired and re-inspired by Van Gogh and his works and letters.

Ink, gouache.

Sketches and little things.

1. A concept sketch for a le***an romance- a baker and the athlete that stops by the bakery she works at after the gym every day. I was trying to play with shapes and body types at the time.

2. The line art for a DND character of mine- a deer-centaur race I home brewed with help from my DM.

3. A post it note illustration. A few years ago I saw a series of these and I was so inspired I churned one out.

A lot of little moments of creation happen, and they don't always go any where. But they're fun and worth the time regardless :)

[On hold until Post Show Apr 16]

X files inspired pc chassis I made for my best friend!

Acrylic on metal....tough media, I've only worked with this combination twice.

Watercolor, ink, and liquid gold foil- a thank you card I made a few years ago for my manager trainer for a large coffee company.

I've always been very fond of the Nouveau style, and often see its' influence in my work.

Character portrait for an old video game portfolio project I'm still somehow in the midst of finishing up.

The model for this character was a style blogger on tumblr who was kind enough to lend me her visage. Nanzy303 I think?

This character was a dreamer who felt a strong nostalgia for a time and place she never lived in, and her obsession was a way to cope. Her character arc was to end either in the player witnessing her healing and growth or for them to part enemies with no visible resolution.

My favorite media, watercolor.

Back in the day when I managed a Smoothie King for a year or two, I took my team on a team-building night to an eat and paint place.

The instructor was very kind and it was a lot of fun. "Ah, you've done this before..." he said. Doing art in a constructed way, using little techniques like pulling purples into the leaves and etc was a lot of fun. In many ways, constriction can create innovation and creation. When you impose limits, you must find solutions.

Anyway! just some acrylic.

A collage I made with Greek Goddesses when I had a fancy bo***ir bathroom. The main featured ladies are Athena and Persephone. It now sits on my altar space :)

Some minis I painted for a friend a few years ago. One day I'm hoping to create a diorama of a sunset dimension, I think that would be really fun for players.

These minis are Reaper Bones.

Oh, I didn't really enjoy the rose lemonade, but it was aesthetic lol.

Finished banana still life, hehe.

Honestly I love doing still life practice, it's so calming when you get into the flow.
