Here is a piece for the upcoming Dragon Storm card, Great Wolf. I decided to show this wolf in a protective mood, hence the small cat sheltering by his legs. I did this piece as a pencil sketch then finished the colors on my IPad 2. I am very pleased with how it came out and I plan to use this technique again in the future.
Here is a piece that I did for Gordon N of his Tigrean Werecat, Night Claw. I enjoy doing tigers in general (such a gorgeous fur pattern) and Night Claw had the bonus of being a Dragon Storm character, which was a real plus. Thank you, Gordon, for commissioning this gorgeous piece!
Some of the commissions I get are a blast. This is one of them. This is first in a series of commissions featuring Mallet Maid and Sugar Bandit, two characters inspired by Saturday morning cartoons popular back when I was a kid. You know, the ones where the hapless scoundrel is constantly undone by the wierd hero who won't give up, no matter what? Well, Mallet Maid is determined that her kitchen is going to stay varmit free and she has got the chops to make it so. Thank you AJ for this wonderful commission.
I was fortunate enough to get this commission from Tristan. He asked me to do a badge of his character in the style of a famous piece by Mucha. I happen to admire Mucha's art quite a bit and consider his work one of my primary inspirations. As a result, this piece was a blast to do. The badge was oversize when I printed it--5" x 7"--so that all that detail is visible on the final piece. Thanks again Tristan for this wonderful commission.
Yep, has been a very long time since I posted whimsey on my blog, so I am adding a second piece on this theme today. This brand new image will be available in print and badge form at both Origins and Anthrocon. In the meantime, enjoy this preview.
I noticed I haven't had many cats posted here lately so I decided to post this piece. Cricket is a charming kitten. I did this portrait of her as a mother's day gift for a patron's wife. Thank you RR for hiring me to do this lovely, whimsical piece.
Here is another pic from the AROC 2011 project that I wanted to show off. I had a lot of fun with the design and detail of this one and I am quite happy how it turned out. In fact, DS players should expect it to show up in an upcoming DS card. Thanks again, guys!
