Weeping Heart

My latest commission, a heart tree from G.R.R.M.’s A Song of Ice and Fire.  Client specifically asked for a female representation who was both smiling and crying.  I was probably more than a little influenced by Grandmother Willow, I won’t lie.  Had a lot of fun playing with light effects in this one.  It was also neat to do a piece that was technically a landscape, compared to the mountains of portraits I do.  

Done in watercolor, gouache, paint marker, and a little bit of crayon on watercolor paper.

Women of Gotham

I am excited to finally present the first piece in my Just Super series, creating images inspired by great cosplay.  I HAD to start with these amazing ladies, my favorite girls from Gotham.  I’m working a bit to cut down on my habit of outlining everything in black.  Contrary-wise, I am also trying to incorporate larger areas of solid black for shadows.  Drawing inspiration from Mike Mignola and Bruce Timm.  Done with watercolor, gouache, gold leaf, acrylic, and marker on paper.
