Throwback Thursday: My trio of characters slaughter a box of inking pens

Continuing last week’s topic of Using a Lot of Ink, here we have… exhibit B! I made this about 1 month into art school and I still think it’s one of the more competent pieces from that era. It’s got action, halfway decent anatomy for the time, and a sense of lighting. Woohoo! Too bad […]

Throwback Thursday: Airika and Vince inked with bad anatomy and sliding faces

Depart at dusk (wips and done)

GUH! (sketch)

Did I ever mention how much Vince hates overgrown bugs? Fortunately for big bugs everywhere, Airika loves bugs both big and small. I often imagine Airika cuddling the strange lifeforms they encounter on their adventures, because she totally would. ~45 mins Photoshop PS: It’s a new month! I need to pick a new still life subject to work on […]
