"Self-Portrait"

12" x 23". oil.



Here are some in-progress photos (though taken with my cellphone camera which isn't great):


First state - You can possibly see the remnants of the painting beneath it. That other image was a disaster, so I slopped some light paint over it, inverted the board and got my mirror. Self-portraiture is an unpleasant, but often necessary exercise for practice.

Second state - Developing stuff here, it's just so hard to see with the bad photo, sorry!

The third state is what's above. Took about a week between each one.

Alphabet

~8"x8". ink.



When I get a new brushpen, it feels good to just make marks; pulling ink is fun and it doesn't even matter what about. The alphabet is a default subject :)

"At The Bus Stop"



digital.

An exercise using this photo of dandelions as a reference for composition, in an effort to mix things up from my usual habits.

"Fang"



digital.

some logo design work for commission.

not actually established in 1908, that was just to show the logo in use for something :)

i've been getting into bicycle repair, so the imagery was in my head to make it into a bicycle badge, because they are typically awesome.

Cover to the upcoming "Book of Mysteries", published for the Ironclaw RPG.
It's to do with magic in a fantasy animal world setting :)
