Face Paint

This was fun and quick. It was a pencil sketch that I darkened and colored in photoshop. The hair was originally ligh brown, but I put an overlay on it of the wrong color and ended up with blue, which I liked better. Yay for happy accidents!

Armor painting

I just got a new, super fast computer, and it makes coloring so much easier! Whoo hoo! This is a drawing inked with a ball point pen, which gives it that scratchy look when you zoom in. I painted it in photoshop, paying exra attention to the armor shines. I like the way it turned out. Isn't she super cute?

Inked Starlight

I did this with a micron, and a dying brush pen. Mainly, I wanted to capture movement in the pose using more of a silhouette concept. The clothing and hair blend into the background, with which the crosshatching gives a sort of starlight appearance, to my eyes anyway.

I'm a Sugar Ninja!!!

Yay, the day has finally come! I am now a Sugar Ninja! That means that I have been published in a book called Sugar Ninjas, Sweet, Volume 3. It's an awesome comic book anthology featuring all female comic artists, and I am now one of them. So check out the book, available on lulu.com, or just follow the link:

Watercolor

Here's a quick watercolor I did yesterday.

She Ra colored...

I used mostly just the brush tool, now becoming more comfortable with my goal of imperfect perfect. The free brush marks with the pencil lines adds a certain freedom, and organic quality to the computer coloring, but that's just my opinion.

For the honor of Grayskull!

Here is a She Ra drawing of mine.

Sugar Ninjas

Here is a quick peak at a story I've created called, Serpent Cove. It will be in the next Sugar Ninjas book. Sugar Ninjas is an awesome anthology series, featuring all female artists.

Genericon XX

RPI, in Troy, NY, has a convention known as Genericon, and this was my winning cover for their twentieth annual con. It was my first publication after college.

Art and Prose

I have been writing a book, and no, not a comic book (although I'm doing that too). A novel. And while I've been wrapped up in it for the past few weeks, I missed drawing. So I drew a portrait of one of the characters. And here he is.
