Evy - Christmas Gift

A Christmas gift for my sister and law of my precious niece. I'm very excited to finally share it!

And here's a little gif of the process: 

Atchoum the Cat

So, this an actual real famous cat, called Atchoum. My friend and I have used his likeness in personal stories. And the character is named Garbage (he's very sweet.) So, I did this for my friend, of this ridiculously silly, dapper, cat.
You can see more of Atchoum on instagram under @ Atchoumthecat. I highly recommend doing so.

The Desert Fox

Erwin Rommel, a German General, also known as the Desert Fox. The commissioner wanted the piece to resemble an old photo. 

Tom Hiddleston

I started this yesterday, going into it thinking I’d like to do something faster with looser brush work. I worked on it on and off all day and while it’s not perfect, I’m quite pleased!

Loki Digital Painting

I started this two years ago! Finally decided it was time to finish it up.
I recorded the process, here's the time lapse video. 

Sphynx Studies

Some kitty cat studies. I chose sphynx cats today because the lack of hair makes it really easy to see the twisting and turning dynamics. Very cool cats.

Leyla - Commission

Commission done for a gaming friend of her character Leyla.

Cassibellawn - Art Trade

I did an art trade with a friend from deviantArt a little bit ago. She painted my horse Tanzen for me and gave him some fancy wings, and I painted her character Cassibellawn for her. Here's my half:

The Goblin King

I've been working on this between commissions and finally finished it tonight. I've wanted to paint Jareth for ages, sad that it took David's death for me to finally get around to it.

Labyrinth was one of my favorite movies when I was younger, and I remember listening to Bowie a lot when I was in High School.
I once walked into Seminary and my teacher asked what I was listening to. I told him, "David Bowie." And he was like, "Really?!" like that was so cool. Because it totally was so cool.

I'll miss this man. He was amazing. <3

In Honor of David Bowie. 

The Empath Demon

A Friends Original Character, Loch, the Empath Demon. He closes or covers his normal eye so he can better see emotions with his lighter one.
Painted in Photoshop, referenced from a flipped photo of Ian Somerhalder

Jack and Poppy

Alternate Universe version of Jack Sparrow (he's totally a rock star) and a friends original character, Poppy.
Pencil Sketch, scanned and painted in Photoshop

Orson and Whiskey

Characters from a story belonging to a friend and I. One day I hope to do a graphic novel or a comic of these two. ONE DAY.

Orson is an English gardener that lives in Scotland. After a storm he finds Whiskey in a puddle, suffocating. He saves her life and later they find a way for her to get legs, but still be able to switch to her mermaid form when she's in water.

These first two are an experimental style. I doodled this pretty fast and actually really love the result. If I do a comic or graphic novel it may end up in a similar style.
And then of course I had to put some color on it for fun.

I was given copic markers as an early Christmas gift from the person Whiskey's character belongs to. (I may have cried of joy.)

 I used those for this! And gave this to her as an early Christmas gift.
