      Spending quarantine working on new portfolio pieces! 🙂

      Lessons learned here: muted colors are okay too. Doesn't have to be bright all the time.

        @baileymvidler Loving this so much. Even though the orange flowers are muted, it really pops against the green! Beautiful!

          Fading dreams followed him down the hallway,
          as he gradually emerged from his slumber.

          A little experiment with a new technique: pencil linework done in analog + digitally applied color.

                Most stuff I do is monochrome so I thought I'd go wild and pump things up by making some paint with the pinkiest pink pigment. Slightly frustrating that my camera phone cannot comprehend how pink it is.

                I eat hummus and soup so I can get the free mixing tubs that come with the food.

                    Another Mermay idea - instead of a cutesy one maybe she was going take ass and kick names.

                      I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and vidcasts lately, and one day I doodled a cat. Then I put a big "C" on it, and labeled it "Cat". And it kinda snowballed from there... The completion-ist side of me has to finish it now. I'm alternating two fruit letters and two animal letters, and trying to find things that aren't really common... I'm going to be stuck with Orange for "O", though. And the only fruit that starts with an "X" is an alternative name for watermelon: "Xigua". Who knew? I'm concentrating on layered textures and trying really really hard to stay loose in my rendering, but I have discovered that doesn't come naturally and it's really easy to slip down the rabbit hole and get tight very quickly. Still, I'm having fun! Woohoo!

                            I have to take my iPad in today. There was a flaw in it and the screen cracked. Sadness. Meanwhile, I am back to Photoshop playing around with digital painting and texture:
                            water and waves.jpg

                            The background texture is actually the ashes from where I was burning cardboard.

                                Trying a more painty feel - on this one 95% of it was using just a flat brush and smudge. I did some line definition and some airbrushing for the lights, but I tried to keep it a bit choppy as much as I could.

                                I also really wanted to play with lighting and push way past what I normally do for darker tones.

                                  @jdubz I like this one so much, I think this might be a good look for you. (the art style, not the mermaid bikini and fins, but who am I to judge.. 🙂 )

                                          @Coreyartus These are so much fun! Just followed you on IG so I can keep up. The layering of textures creates a lot of drama and I'm finding this a fresh take on the alphabet.

                                            This is redo of a piece from an unfinished project....Anyone who has been on the forums for a few years will be quite sick of my OZ stuff by now i'm sure but i have not touched it for quite a while - i got stuck on Glinda and then decided my older work in the series was not so good....i stopped checking my website too - recently i looked at my work and thought .."hey, these aren't too bad" - so i thought i would try again to finish the project

                                            Possibly Finally finished Glinda 🙂
