I've been busy with commissions but I can't show anyone yet! Here are sketches in the meantime:

These are private commissions of client's original characters:

Sketch Dump / Tumblr

2011-09-29T19:26:00.003-04:00

I've got a Tumblr sketchblog which I like for it's immediacy, and bite-sized, easy to share format. That's the first place I'll be uploading sketches! If you want to follow me there, it's at http://tumorhead.tumblr.com!

Here's some musings from the past few months.

Two Paintings

2011-09-29T19:22:00.000-04:00

Two paintings, the first of which is a personal piece based of a dream, and the second is a contest for Gears of War 3. The similar format but contrasting subject matter amuse me.

2011-08-19T15:14:00.000-04:00

Been experimenting with making leather masks. First run: moth

Finally got some free time, so I could paint Signless from Homestuck.

Sharpie Undergrowth

2011-05-20T01:32:00.002-04:00

I've been taking a much needed break from digital art as I wait to hear back from employers.

This is a piece for a local show based on Sharpies. Really fun, a huge nostalgia trip.

Ceratosaurus Lino Block

2011-04-30T01:45:00.000-04:00

Taking a break and making art in a different medium than normal is my favorite way of refreshing myself. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time on something so different than what my career is in but it's a joy to do. Well, it's a joy when I'm not stabbing my fingers with the awl.

Sketch of some heterodontosaurs, my favorite little grumpy ornithopod.

Tron: Legacy was such a visual and audial feast!

Mountains

2011-03-11T13:13:00.000-05:00

Photoshop crashed on me on this one, but I grabbed a screenshot and worked on that!

Fan Art

2011-03-11T13:10:00.002-05:00

Out of nowhere - my little ponies! The series MLP - Friendship is Magic by Lauren Faust is so fun. But I couldn't leave well enough alone and made some ponies based of medication.

The newest Pokemon generation has some great sprite designs. This is my take on the grass snake Serperior.

Temptation of Lady Holloway

2011-02-22T01:50:00.001-05:00

A personal piece I struggled to get finished.

Forest Nap

2011-01-01T01:31:00.001-05:00

Sketching environments is easily the most relaxing kind of art for me. This one turned in to a bit of an experiment with a technique I'm still working on.

I haven't been getting enough art done as I should lately because of my day job. I haven't learned to keep my energy up between the two yet.

frivoloty, recent digital sketches

2010-12-13T14:48:00.001-05:00

Photos of actual cats in actual sweaters were too adorable to pass up.

Charmander, since even though I haven't played Pokemon in forever, they are fun to draw.

Fan art of Trolls from MSPA

Recent Digital Paintings

2010-12-13T14:42:00.001-05:00

The first is a shirt illustration for a new band. I'm excited for them! The method was cell shading for the screen printing process, and it's not my normal way of working so it's weaker than I'd like but they are very happy with it.

This next one is a private commission, the female character designed by the client

Pen Drawings

2010-10-05T01:01:00.000-04:00

A couple shows I'm trying to get in need original pieces. So - ballpoint pen drawings!! More to come.

Tropical Fairy

2010-10-05T00:58:00.000-04:00

I'm entering my first big convention at the end of October, so I'm working on a bunch of new pieces on a more straight forward fantasy bent. I wanted to do a shot of a small section of forest for a while. People have suggested the fairy looks poisonous.

New Piece - Cave Dragon

2010-07-14T12:58:00.002-04:00

Something needs to go in the lower left corner but that'll have to wait for some other time. I think I'm burnt out on dragons for the time being and want to get to work on some pen drawings.

I think I hit an 'upgrade' point, and definately want to do more paintings with the understanding I've learned. but I need to step away from the computer for awhile.

One of these things is not like the other

Fan Art Painting

2010-04-01T17:40:00.003-04:00

My geekdom knows no bounds. A bust painting of some guys from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, and two guys from DC's Blackest Night arc. Super fun!

Unicorns

2010-04-01T17:36:00.002-04:00

Inspired by the ridiculous flash game Robot Unicorn Attack. Sometimes a girl just wants rainbows and unicorns.

Ink Work

2009-10-19T23:22:00.002-04:00

In school I'm doing alot of work with ink, both quill and brush. I like quill for replicating my hatchwork, but I have fallen in love with quality sable brushes and am working at improving my control with such. My painterly tendencies to be fast, messy, and rely on reductive techniques requires adaptations with ink.

Whoops, I got busy with school work but managed to fit in some digital work between comic work.

Abstracts

2009-06-23T19:52:00.003-04:00

My latest drawing class had us doing abstract pieces, and to warm up I did a series of marker sketches. Here's a few.

Working non-representationally really stretched the art-lobe in my brain in a much needed unfamiliar direction. Constantly having to watch the composition and enjoying mark making and colors for their own sake, trained my eye well. It is much more relevant to my representational work then I'd thought, and much more difficult than most people assume.

In an effort to improve in the direction I want, I'm going to try and pump out these more finished works MUCH more often.
