Swashbuckler me:)

"I have a friend, he's mostly made of pain. He wakes up, drives to work,
and then straight back home again. He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper.
I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover.
And I tried to tell him he had a sense of color and composition so magnificent.
And he said 'Thank you, please but your flattery is truly not becoming me.
Your eyes are poor. You are blind. You see, no beauty could have come from me.
I am a waste of breath, of space, of time.' "

Digital photo studies

2 new pieces for the portfolio.

Also extremely pleased to say that the developing team some friends and I put together has released its first little project! So far I’ve been in charge of all the art for these little games and apps, and it’s been great fun!

A few original paints for you today, take care my lovelies.

But then, my knees give under me. My head feels weak and
suddenly it is clear to see that it is not them but me, who has lost my self-identity.
As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,
like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve.
And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.

And everything I made is trite and cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time.

Digi

Some digital paints today.

Photostudies: Pencil

A couple of drawings I've been working on over the week.

Cripple: Style variations

So since I've been off my foot for 3 weeks, thought I'd use that experience for good.
An experiment in slight style variations, quite fun!

Tarot cards

At a bit of a low point, but decided to work on my Tarot deck. A few years ago I entered the Team Chow challenge over on ConceptArt.org, the topic was to create a Tarot deck. Unfortunately I couldn't finish, but I did a heap of research for it, and so pulled out the old sketches and had a play:) So here's my The Fool, The Princess Of Sword's, and #10 of Swords. King of cups coming up:)

A few more from the scrap heap.

Some new, some old. This post is for Jun, as he asked so nicely for an update!:D

Studio Ghibli "fan Art"

Decided to experiment with some "Fan Art". Never really done this sort of thing before, always had a bit of a negative view this type of art, but I actually had a lot of fun:D!
My Neighbor Totoro, The Cat Returns, Princess Mononke.

Some pretties

Some more colour for you tonight

Belle and Severus

Couldn't resist painting up these posters, amazing tonal value though out!
Photoshop, 3 hours each
