Firebirds

Just a detail screenshot of the Magic Girl illustration I'm working on. This is about half size of the view on Photoshop. It's turning out pretty good and the textures are meshing really well together. I can't wait to see the final of this.

a boy and his cloud ...

... 'cause every boy needs his own cloud.

Magic Time!

Kind of sick, which makes it harder to think and as much as anyone wants to disagree, illustration requires quite a bit of subconscious and conscious thinking on how you do things. Anyway, it's time for a bit of magic before cowboys come by.

Cats and a Baby

I really have to figure out how to scan watercolour illustrations one day or maybe I just need a better scanner. I actually like how the watercolour spot turned out; I'm still trying to find my voice with watercolour, but it's fun. Now for something cuter, little baby Red Riding Hood with a wolf plushie and a basket. I might I think take this into a final with a light bit of a modification like making the sucker more pronouced.

Castle Playground (working on)

There's the second image of the series of playground promos I'm working on. I've got one more plan that I'd like to work on. They've been fun and relatively simple to come up with. I miss the old days when imagination was more than half the fun. On a site note, my website has been updated with a few illustrations I've finished in recent month including the last playground promo I finished last month. It's been so hot lately, it's impossible to work at 100%, I can't wait until the fall rolls in with cooler weather.

Girls

I've realized I've drawing lately, but not inking as much. Here are a few older sketches from my sketchbook. The top sketch is another sketch for an origami story I've been meaning to write and the bottom sketch is just something random.

On a site note, my friend, the wonderful illustrator Jacqueline Pytyck has a print up at Working Proof were part of the procedes go to a charity and in this case, the charity is The Shama Foundation. It's a lovely piece of illustration ahd it's going to a good cause so check the print and charity and buy one if you can.



And here's a colour piece to add a bit more colour to this post. This was part of a series for a custom hand-made book that was a mock RPG flora and fauna guidebook. I've been meaning to go back to them and add more textures to make them pop a bit more.

Summer Games

Here's another rough for a promo this month. On a side note, I did a puzzle illustration for ChickaDEE magazine for their back to school issue. It should be the September issue, so I'm looking forward to that.
