New work in progress!

Finally got some projects in the works! Here are 2 drawings I just inked up recently

For this assignment we had to illustrate animals doing human things. I've always wanted to see an elephant on a pogo stick!

For this assignment we had to illustrate a recognizable person as a god. I took this direction partially due to the fact that I'm currently taking a class called The Mythology of Star Wars. Also, I really wanted to draw a baby Darth Vader!

Stay tuned for the colored images as well as a couple other things in the works.

Collaborative piece with Ben Templesmith

Ben Templesmith recently posted some linework to his Deviant Art page and he said that anyone is free to color in the lines if they wanted to, so I took him up on the offer and came up with what you see below. The image was colored in Photoshop and it depicts the character Psylocke defeating a Sentinel from X-Men. This was a fun exercise to do and I hope to get the chance to do something like this again, perhaps with other artists too.

New Season of "Comic Strip" coming soon!

Next week classes resume at Syracuse University, which means that the Daily Orange Newspaper will be coming out soon, which means that my new season of "Comic Strip" will start getting published! If you're not familiar with the comic please check it out, especially if you really enjoy puns, though I have to say you may wind up hating them after reading my comic, heheh. But then again, why not find out for yourself? Every week I'll post all of the comics that were published during that week at this blog.

Internship! Blueshift webcomic colorist

Starting in September I will be working as an intern for Seed Studio as the colorist for the Blue Shift webcomic. I was approached by art director/penciler/inker, Dave Devries, and after test coloring a couple of pages I was approved to join the team as their intern! I am very excited to be working with them and I will be sure to post links once my own work is up on the site. Pages should be published on a weekly basis once they start so stay tuned. Until then I encourage you to check out the first issue of the comic as well as the other cool stuff on the website.

These are the pages that I test colored in order to get the internship, these pages have already been published on the website, colored by the previous colorist. This is just to give you an idea of what's to come.

Venture Bros. Art & a week of painting comics

I've been doing so much digital work lately that I felt the need to unwind with some traditional work while doing some fanart of one of my favorite TV shows. This is my favorite character from the Venture Brothers, HELPeR. I've been re-watching all of the episodes to prep for all of the new ones coming out soon.

In recent news, I've spent the every day of the past week painting comic pages for 2 different projects, 6 pages in total to be exact. It was a rough week but I managed to stick to my schedule and get everything done. Hopefully I'll be able to share some of that work soon.

"Gotta Have a Hook" Art Order Challenge - Final Illustration

Today is the deadline for the "Gotta Have a Hook" challenge on Art Order and this is my entry. I'm very happy with my final and it's been a lot of fun participating in my first Art Order challenge. I look forward to participating in future challenges!

Here's a link to see the rest of the final entries for the challenge.

Tortured Demon

This started out as a late night sketch done simply for fun and the results were completely unplanned. I really liked what was happening with the sketch so I decided to go ahead and paint it up. I love painting all those gritty and disgusting details, it's tons o' fun!
