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.

Original cosplays by:

1) Mango Sirene - Barbara Gordon/Batgirl

2) Y-o-s-s-i - Kate Kane/Batwoman

3) Allicia1 - Helena Bertinelli/Huntress

4) Contagious Costuming - Carrie Kelley/Robin

5) Chinasaur - Cassie Cain/Black Bat

6) Aigue-Marine - Stephanie Brown/Batgirl

Piece is dedicated to Gail Simone, for being a badass.

Latest commission.  My friend's dog suddenly and unexpectedly died last year, and she wanted a portrait to remember him by.  She's really into those portraits of monkeys in military garb (which is apparently a thing?), so I did his portrait in the same style.  I tried to add as much meaning into the uniform as possible, including the monogram for their last name, and a tiny portrait of her, above which says "Mum".

Also, oval paintings are really hard to cut out in photoshop.  I really should invest in a backdrop.

The Life and Times of Amy Pond

The commission I've spent the last 5 months working on. Months 1-3: Drawing. Month 4: Inking. Month 5: Painting. 

The guy asks for a commission with The Doctor, Amy, and the TARDIS. I need to work on telling my brain to stop being so goddamned ambitious. But, I had the idea, and I wanted to run with it.

After watching the finale, I finally fell in love with Matt Smith, and was inspired to pay tribute. 

The Adventures of Byrd-Man & Space Cat

Oh man, I finally made something new you guys. May I present to you "The Adventures of Byrd-Man & Space Cat", the commission I've been working on for two months. These two are OCs of the client and her boyfriend. This project was really awesome because she pretty much gave me complete creative control over the character design and everything (although they are meant to resemble the actual people). The task was to create a comic book cover for these two. I really wanted it to pay homage to old, retro sci-fi comics. And voila, here it is.
