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: 

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. 

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

Avalette Portrait

Queen Avalette Ekdrayas

Character Portrait
Avalette is one of the four main characters of a series of novels I'm writing.

Ivan Finish

I haven't have a painting cooperate this well in ages. This was very relaxing and fun to do. It's nice to have something come to a finish without stress!

Ivan Sandoval Cane, a vampire. His hair was great fun.

Me

It's me! I did a super quick self portrait today in response to an artist meme thing I got.
I quite enjoyed it. 

Heimdall

Digital painting. Heimdall from Thor/Marvel movies, played by Idris Elba. Video of process: 

Malekith Painting and Video

Speed painting of Malekith from Thor 2: The Dark World!

Iakshyk's Fire

(Iakshyk is a planet, in a book I'm writing) I can't believe I hadn't posted this yet. Finished this a bit ago, new portrait of my character, Ja'ek.

More Portraits. Again. Probably.

"Aqua De Vida" Captain Jack Sparrow portrait, referenced from a screen still, from Pirates 4: On Stranger Tides. I miss pencil portraits. I need to do more! I finished this in May. I started it a year before that and then didn't touch it for ages.

"Tom Hiddleston" Charcoal Sweep. I don't love this one. It's a bit distorted. Love Tom, though!

That link didn't show up properly on my last post, I realized. So here it is!

Kate Winslet Painting

Digital painting of the lovely Kate Winslet. I really just did this one for fun and some painting practice.

Roux

It seems whenever I have a rough time drawing doing something of Johnny gets me back in my groove. I've been wanting to draw this image again (drew it in graphite when I was around 14) for a long while. I'll be coloring it. :)
Johnny Depp as Roux from Chocolat.

Le Portraits of Recent

It's time to begin updating this place a bit more seriously. Despite struggling a bit lately to get anything done (I can't seem to focus. Day by day I'm slowly feeling the urge to draw again. Soon! I'll get more than sketches done.) but I have a massive backlog of art that should be on this blog. So, for the next few days, this place should grow immensely.

Here are the two most recent portraits I've done.

"Most. . . Sinister. . . "
Sherlock Holmes Charcoal Sweep (I love charcoal sweeps. So very much.)


"Jake and Eryn"
Christmas gift for my sister in law, the one in the picture.
Graphite

Mr. Dickens

"Charles Dickens" Tis Mister Charles Dickens, obviously. Charcoal sweep.

Portraits

"A Thinking Sparrow" One of my favorites I've done of Jack. []:(>=



"Into His Soul" Kind of hate that title. Any suggestions are welcome! Captain Jack, my favorite subject that walks on two legs. :)



"Truly Madly Deeply" Alan Rickman as Jamie, from the movie Truly Madly Deeply. Graphite.

"Depp In Thought" Punning titles for Johnny Depp portraits is really fun. :) Graphite.

"Cillian Murphy" Charcoal Sweep.
