quick

30 minute speed

40 minute speed

quickly painted this bird, ya. of course from reference haha

But the colors started to turn into the colors from my weekly creative review. Just of images I had on there. Oakley colors and whatnot. I actually painted directly on to my review. That's why the image is small. Sorry.

Still working

Still working on it!

"...Means No Worries"

UPDATE: was told that i should bring out the lineart more. Hope it worked.

I think I'm gonna admit that I have a HUGE fan-girl crush on Joe Vriens! :P
I freakin LOVE his art! I'm always inspired by his work and geez, he's really nice about letting paint his stuff!

He posted another sketch (inspired) and I figured I should paint it the same style I did for his Dhalsim sketch. I did this today at work, don't worry! I finished all my work. :)

Well anyway, let me know what you guys think!!!

Lauren's Mucha

I've gotten really inspired to paint this. Lauren was kind of enough to let me paint this. She said she was going for Alphonse Mucha style, So that's how I'm painting.

It's certainly challenging!!! But I'm really diggin it so far though!!!

LINE ART BY Lauren Montgomery

COLORS by me :D

Water Mouse

Just got some new brushes from a fellow artist!
Totally loving the watercolor feel

Lineart by Charles Holbert Jr.
Colors by Cleverblue

Scribble

Felt the need to paint something. So i went over to my constant inspiration Joe Vriens blog!!! Actually his deviantart, and found a sketch he did.

when i let loose and just scribble with the brush I feel more relaxed and I get something i like. haha
I know that's how you're suppose to paint, but sometimes I have other things I'm thinking for the painting then just going crazy with it and not caring.

I'm really pleased with it :)

Space man

Finally was able to paint something that I was happy with!
I always hate how I'll paint something awesome and then paint shit for months! It's like my power level was used up to create something awesome. Now I have to wait for my power to be at maximum, before i can paint anything worth posting . :( aaaaaaannoying!

So when I was able to paint something today! I was extremely happy.
It's by Sean Reilly, my co-worker/close friend. While he's mostly a 3D modeler, he's known to draw from time to time. I've been trying to get him to sign up for a blogspot. But, yea. He's been dragging his feet on that one!

Anyway, I'm loving the colors. I have this other painting I'm working on and these were the colors I wanted to use. But again, i was painting shit! So I stopped working on it. I'm gonna have to pick it up soon because Etoli gave it to me to paint. Aaaand since I live with her now, haha I can't escape it! haha :P


The image really inspired me to paint, so Sean scanned it for me :D

At first he really reminded me of Kisame Hoshigaki, from Naruto. So I kept thinking "blue" lol
I just went with it. I'm pretty pleased. :)

"It's ALIVE!!!"

My hard-drive works, though only as a slave drive. Which is fine by me.

Happy I was able to save everything, plus i got a new 1TB drive :D

YAY for space!!!

now to paint...

...exorcise the hard-drive

So my computer crashed on me last week. Taking it to a very kind friend who offered to help fix it. So I'll be heading over there tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be able to pull my work from it.

Haven't been up to much. The Alvin lee contest, I got notable submission along with 9 others! So that was pretty cool. Waiting to see who won! Heard they had 100s of submissions! So I'm honored to be on the notable submissions.


Well until I get my computer back online, cya later!
