Nocerus


I draw this guy at the zoo sometimes...and I must say, the proportions here are spot on.

Geh...mm..eh...


This is my sister Missy

Some stuff I touched up after my BFA Show

Blob drawing


This paintin is the result of a blob that kinda resembled a chimp. I sure wish I woulda painted in a background layer first, but you never know with blobs.

Taz-Dingo!

Photobucket
I sometimes live in the World..........of Warcraft. There are some glaring problems here with lighting and actually probably some perspective too, but I plan on fixing those when I give him his body and armor. So just consider it a work in progress/something to post.

Day Dreaming Redo


Earlier I drawr'd an executioner leaning on his axe and day dreaming of being a ballerina (or is it ballerino?). I had very little time to create it and wasn't able to do it justice. This picture is a little different content-wise, but I was able to put the time into it that I wanted.

bearborne

Photobucket
I decided to try out the digital oil brushes on Corel Painter. This is actually only part of the painting I'm doing. I hope to have the bear chasing a squirrel and a bird for stealing his berries....I really just wanted to paint them all together, so the berries just kinda give the bear a motive.

Landscapesmanshippery

Photobucket
I once heard that you can tell in what area an artist is weak by what is left out of their pictures. I seem to leave the background out a lot, so I bought a landscape-how to book- and am giving it a try...not that all backgrounds are landscapes, but I'm banking that a lot of the same rules and methods apply.
Ah crap, apparently I over compensated for the curve of the earth here, lol. I'm gonna need to level out that stream a wee bit.

Disclaimer: I'm on the second chapter, so hopefully by the end things will be looking better.

"Do the interns get Glocks?"

Photobucket
I thought I'd try a portrait since it's been a while. I like some of the colors, but I'm gonna need a bit more practice, so there will probably be a lot more portraits in the future. This is supposed to be Bill Murray and man he's getting old, which pains me because he is a genius.

Grrilla vs Contractor

Photobucket
I used to do a lot of drawings like this using the free hand tool in Illustrator. I didn't know how to use the pen tool at the time and so it was pretty time consuming using a jumpy mouse in the computer lab at Weber. I'm very spoiled now with a wacom tablet and Corel Painter. As for the content...I wanted to draw a gorilla and didn't think much further than that.

closing your eyes when you sing

Photobucket
I shoulda made this guy a singer, but he was actually a weightlifter I drew during the Olympics.

Squatter

Photobucket
If I were Batman I'd do my knees a solid and put a few hundy into designing a cape that folded into a banana chair.

Where the deer and the antelope play...and the prairie dogs.

Photobucket
These are either very large prairie dogs or that is a very small radish...oh well.

Burrowing owls

Photobucket
I still like the idea of a Burrowing owl and Prairie dog duo, so I'm still trying out different looks. I'm thinking the bird needs to be less shapely, maybe even just one shape from head to tail.

Day dreaming at work?

Photobucket
For Figure drawing we were asked to create a scene with at least 3 figures in it. I had a lot of fun with the colored executioner, but I wish I'd taken more time integrating the little dancing executioners.

Bears are always fun

Photobucket
The movie "The Bear" was one of my favorites as a kid.

It's been a while

Photobucket
This is my take on the idea of a hunchback....I haven't really decided on the time or place he exists in yet.
