Random Favourites

Aside from good illustration, or things that make me laugh, I'm also a real sucker for top notch graphc design, interface design, animation, and photography. I like to favorite the things that make me think "I need to try this."

Donate and get a gift!

I do wholeheartedly offer my tutorials, shared knowledge, and potential counseling for free. However, if you feel like you would love to send a donation to me, you can send one to my paypal by clicking the donate button below! By sending even just a buck or two, I'll gladly reply to you via email with a link to download a gift pack of exclusive high resolution wallpaper-sized images of most of my key works!

New Sketch Video with Artist Commentary

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 6, 2009, 2:12 AM
A few days ago I recorded a new video similar to the Jace one that was linked along with my last submission. This time, I go about sketching a somewhat action-y pose for Jenna. Seen here:



The image here is a little different than the end result of the video, [changes I made far after I stopped recording, etc.] But the overall gist is there.

I wrote a commentary track for the video as well! Mouse over the small up arrow in the corner of the video to access the CC [closed captions] controls. Turn it on to read my thoughts on what I'm currently doing! [Yes, they're subtitles. I'm too timid to record my voice. Also I'd ruin the kickass music.]

>>> CLICK TO WATCH THE VIDEO <<<


If you ask me, these kinds of videos are way better than LiveStream / U-Stream stuff simply because of the speed up and rockin' music. A bit more entertaining while still being able to see the entire process.

Above: My character Maia, the main protagonist in my graphic novel-in-progress: SYNTHESIS. I've been drawing her forever.

I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades between illustration, photography, and graphic design, but my true focus lies within Illustration. My illustration centers around conceptual art design, as I enjoy creating characters, vehicles, environments, and narratives. My style tends to lean much more toward technical things than organic. My mind loves to think about mechanics, gadgetry, and urban life.
