Yet another iPad Sketch :D

Autumn Spell
Another iPad sketch this week for, you, my blog friends. I did the majority of this while waiting for my math class to start, and then finished it up when I got home today. I've been trying to get as much painting; drawing; and sketching in my schedule as possible these last couple days. I hope you enjoy!

Stay Classy ;D

Gollum Sketch

"...When he was very, very, hungry and tired of fish; then he would creep along dark passages looking for stray goblins ..."


Hello my friends! In the interest of updating my blog this week I'm sharing with you, a sketch I did on my iPad yesterday while out and about running errands. I've been very busy this week with a private project that is requiring the majority of my attention; as well as running around doing all the busy little things that go into getting back in school. I'm going full time now after a two year hiatus, and it feels great to be getting back in to it.

I am so excited for The Hobbit to come out. Yesterday was marked as the one hundred and eleven days until it hits theaters. AH! Eleventy-one days! I will probably be doing a lot of LotR fan art until it comes out.

I also have a few oil paintings I want to post for you guys to look at too, but haven't had the time to photograph them quite yet. Please keep checking back though, I promise I'll have them up soon.

Anyway guys, I hope you're enjoying the blog. Those that are visiting, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you just checking it out, and I really hope you'll be back soon. Let me know how I can improve it, or what you think about the work I'm posting.

See ya soon!

Works From Yestertime II

Good morning friends, and welcome back!

I wanted to post yet another series of images done in the past. I will find time to take some of these sketches to a finished level someday, but for now I just wanted to archive them; so that I can revisit the idea later.

Anyway on to the fun part!!

Alien - I did this one for a class being taught by the amazing Don Seegmiller He kind of looks like Yoda's great uncle.

Crash Landed - Another from that same class taught by Don Seegmiller We needed to apply a variety of effects on this assignment, including gashes, texture, blood drip, and pimples.

Lazy Day - iPad Sketch

Two different directions for the same passage. It was something like a man who lived underground, and wrote on the walls with stones, and used lizard's blood for ink. He started becoming more mushroom than man after living down there for so long eating nothing but mushrooms.

Welcome Back!! -- Machete Kid!

Hello internet! Long time no see.

So I'm going to attempt to be better at updating this blog to show you all my endeavors in the never ending pursuit of art. This is my latest digital painting, I'm calling it Machete Kid. The entire painting was done with brushes that are available through Chris Oatley's blog. I'm planning on sending him a copy of this picture just to tell him thanks.

I hope you'll let me know what you think, I'd really appreciate any comments, feedback, or critique.

See you soon :D
