AuraWolf (character owned by him) with some of those pesky metroids who have seemed to find him…
ArtRage and Photoshop.
Never Grow Old
ArtRage messy portrait of a royal white wolf. Not my character, as he belongs to Aaron, but it was a lotta fun. :)
Chris Drummonds and I made papertoys.

This video is a silly little promotional ad. Yeah, that’s me.
This is Roarmero
He’s a brute of a zombie bear, who had obviously survived a few attacks from survivors… who didn’t seem to survive. He’s spilling his cuts, and has a eyeball dangling from one eye-socket.
This is one of the two papertoys that Chris Drummonds and I have been working on together. It’s a pretty well and even collaboration, and we’re very proud and excited to share these with other people.

This is Salivini.
He’s a zombie dog, who’s been through a bit, and his battle scars show it; his dripping arm nub, and cracked open skull hasn’t stopped him yet from seeking brains to eat.

Chris engineered and put together the bear zombie we’re also doing to add to the roster of our paper pet zombies. :)
Chris Drummonds engineered and constructed the papertoy design for the zombie dog. :) He did a great job. We wanted this to be simple enough for anybody to be able to fold.
Here’s a sketch of a papertoy zombie dog that my close friend, Chris Drummonds and I, are working on. To be honest, he’s doing the bulk and harder work. ;3 Which I’m grateful for, cause it’s stuff I couldn’t do and not nearly as well as he.
I sketch, he engineers and constructs, and I color.
We’re planning to create and spread the papertoy zombie love :) Here’s the sketch for the zombie dog.
Digital paint test, using PaintTool Sai for the first time on anything substantial. Photo reference was used, and colors referenced from some art-deco piece.
I’m definitely anxious to see what else I can do with this program. It’s a lot of fun!
Lazy sunday timed sketches.
It’s been awhile since I’ve sketched or drawn with a real pencil, and with not much else to do, I decided to pull it out and brush up a little bit with some sketches. You can never sketch enough.
It really felt good and fun. I’m a real slow artist, so timed sketches are something I really should be doing more often.
With these, I try to do them as fast as I can, while making sure I don’t overload the pencil strokes or details; just trying to capture what I need with the pencil strokes I need.
I struggled the most with the third sketch. Kyle is just really hard for me to draw. But I did my best for a timed sketch.
Pom-Pom is fuckin Boss.
”The WORLD is full of MAGIC”
I came across a song and music video, called “Magic” by The Sound of Arrows, and I had to do a quick little fanart thing.
I’ve always loved really whimsical, world-of-possibilities, sense of discover and mystery and wonder, and innocent kids learning it all and… all that kinda stuff.
I knew my friend, Chris D. loves all that kinda stuff too as much as I do, and so hopefully others will too! :)

A setting from Kyle’s story series. It’s the inside of a temple, at the base of a tree that grows through each level of the temple, with streams of water cascading down the branches.
The background half-moon wolf logo design was actually designed by Chris, I merely incorporated it.
It was a fun piece to work on
Continuing my work on the EF Shirt Design, here’s three layout concepts for placement of informational elements.
The theme is anthropomorphic characters in a martial arts setting.
The chinese kanji symbols stand for: dog, cat, bird, bear, dragon, and fox.
I’m leaning towards “EF Shirt Design Layout 1”
Mo Problems
This is a birthday gift for a close friend of mine. It was created using a program called ArtRage.
Artrage is really good and being fun doodling with tools that emulate traditional mediums. The brush strokes are real nice. And having had started with traditional mediums back in the day, I like to revisit those roots when I can with my digital art, because really, I don’t get to go back and mess with real paints and inks as much as I’d like to.
Sketch
First phase, sketched out the basic head, just getting my composition down and marking fur patterns and such. I had other head angles sketched but I I forgot to save them.
Ink
Black “ink” linework and worked in a colored background of the general color I know I wanna work with. I wanted kind of a moody deep feeling for this piece, so I went with some dim earthy warm colors.
Color
Keeping in mind my lightsources, I just just filling this guy in. I start with a basic flat color foundation, one layer for each color fur pattern, and just work in my shadows and highlights. Didn’t focus too much on reflective color on this piece.
I did some touch up shadowing in Photoshop. I knew I wanted more for the background, and in this wip, you can see the black outline. With so much “black” on this character, I didn’t feel like the black outline did enough. I used what I felt like was “white out”, to outline him, and the entire time I couldn’t help but think of the old days when I’d love to paint on paper collages.
And that’s what you see in the final version above.

If you get it, you get it.
If you don’t, you’re at risk of becoming helpless and stupefied.
Only reblog if you’re in trouble and need saving!
