Oldies

I just realized how busy I was last year with how little I posted and how long since I last posted. Here are some old illustrations of mine I was able to dig up and they're personal work I'm not too embarrassed to show. I was starting to work more exclusively with vectors then though I still had a long ways to go with colour, stylization and everything else. The bottom drawing was an idea for a medieval alphabet book that never took off. The knight is a lowercase "d". I guess in theory, I should have linked up things to their respective first letter, but I didn't. I had "e" for witch and "a" for an ogre.

Merry Christmas

Been busy lately with everything, but here's a quick sketch for Christmas.

Kidnapped!

Penguins can do anything they put their minds to.

More bits of fun

I kind of wonder how many of these I can create by the end of the year. They're a ton of fun though quite a bit of work 'cause of all the hatching while inking. I really like the coloured right. I've been meaning to draw that for awhile.

Winter Dance

I'm still super busy and kind of can't wait until the Christmas break to relax a bit. This is a work in progress of one of my winter cards this year. I've been meaning to find a way to use the colour teal for awhile now. I use to like the colour a lot as a kid, but it doesn't really fit much with my current colour palette.

Little bit of fun ...

I've been doing some small ink drawings recently after seeing another artist, Eric Hancock, do this on their blog. I wish I could work in pencils as well. The small format allows me to spend less time working as well as lets me have fun with the very limited space. I've been using 1.5" x 4.5" dimensions so far. I've forgotten how fun inking can be though I have to admit that working on that small scale is starting to cramp up my hand pretty bad.

Work in Progress # 17

Another work in progress. I've been a bit busy, but hopefully I can finish this and the smoking devil soon to start working on some winter pieces. I always manage to skip out on fall and I feel bad. There are some of the most beautiful of colours in the fall season. I should work on that more next year.
