Starry Night

This was a special commission for my sister, with her only request being that it be thematically related to Van Gogh's Starry Night. The final piece will be printed on a meter long canvas print, so I'm super excited to see how it looks when it's done.

She also humored me by allowing me to make the piece fit with my bird obsession... :D

Sailor's Bane

Past the explored boundaries of man, there are monsters lurking...

This one was super different from what I've been doing recently, with it being a full page, more narrative illustration. It was super fun trying to figure out and research the tentacles and loopiness and wrapping of them(Octopi look SO cool!), and deciding how to make the perspective and depth work. I definitely want to do another underwater piece and work on light beams and shadows and depth and silhouettes and ALL of the fun stuff :D

Luminescence - Fishman revisit

If you meander back through my older posts, you'll see my deep see merman painting. I decided to revisit it the other day and do a quick painting, not the best, but I'm warming up the drawing muscles again. I'm going to give him another shot soon, full painting and everything.

Also. GLOW IN THE DARK DREDS. I want them to exist.

Oh look, stuff!

Getting back into the painting mode, here is a fresh(ish) look at my face. And a grumpy Zeke.

Prepare to possibly see varying renditions of my visage over the next few days. I'm going to be attempting to try out different styles and re-find my comfort zone. :)
