Banana Skink

An idea by my friend Jade that was issued as a challenge. Such a funny idea I couldn't resist!

Draw a Bird Day

I just had to get in on this holiday. I only wish I'd known a day sooner.

Batch of Morning Warm-ups

Figured I'd start with a batch of some of my warm-ups. With the exception of this first one, I usually spend 15 to 20 minutes on these. I start by scribbling some non-intersecting lines with my left hand, then rotate the image around until I see something and then start defining it. If I can't come up with anything from the lines, abstract imagry like this first image here are the result.

So a couple weeks ago I started a sketchbook over on ConceptArt.org, but in turn started neglecting this place. Felt redundant to post the same pics to two places, but I'll probably start doing it anyway until I have more finished illustrations, and then I'll probably revamp this blog to house those and hopefully act more as a portfolio.

That's some time ahead though. For now I'll try and get back to posting here.

WIP - Pub Scene


A sketch I started last week and managed to get some more work done on it. Building interiors are quite difficult for me, so the best practice is to do more of it!

I finished something!


Started getting a little carried away with some of my life studies and decided to push this in a more illustrative direction. Her helmet sort of evolved out of several misplaced pencil strokes for her hair and I just kind of ran with it. I think it turned out okay.

Got a ton of art done today! Well, three images started and one finished illustration. I want to paint this later after I finish some other projects and commissions, but for now I'm rather happy with it. I'll scan the other stuff once I do a bit more work on them. They're still rather scribbly.

WIP - Om Trollkungen


This started as a speedpaint, but I'm liking it so much I'm probably going to go all out with it. I have a few ideas to really push it, but it's probably going to take some time. I want to have branches growing out of him, maybe some roots and lichen growing on him to really push how old he is (For a troll, anyway). Also want to add in his throne of stone and tree roots.
