Standing Strong

I've been using my Facebook Page to post my latest work and I've been, alas, too lacking of mind to post in the blog! But to make up for it;

A concept/promo piece for The Refuge featuring our main protagonist!

Jace Herondale

Warm up sketch for the day; Jace, from The Mortal Instruments, dressed in sort of 19th century clothing, like Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices.

Mystery Girl

A portrait of Alexandra from our comic, The Refuge!

Mutt Jester

A commission of a silly mutt! 
Done on Nintendo 3DS

Speedpaint: School Photo

Well, it's of someone fictional, but that's what it reminds me of, wouldn't you say?

At the Edmonton Expo, I got to watch one of the teachers speedpaint a portrait. I don't know about everyone else, but I love to watch artist's work as it tends to make things "click" faster when I see the process in action! So I decided to give it a try! Ookami up there is my guinea pig since he's my oldest character creation, and it was fun giving him an edge of realism.

I spent a lot of time on this for being a "speed painting"- the problem I run into is that I see the errors along the way so I fret over them. A habit I want to chip away since the urge to fix all the things can be overwhelming! As it is I had to consciously stop myself.

Anyway, already looking forward to the next attempt. Onward!

Kevin Zegers as Alec Lightwood

Self explanitory! Sept 19th was Kevin Zeger's birthday, and he plays Alec Lightwood in the upcoming City of Bones movie! I did this to celebrate. I think this is the 8th revision!
