flits and flirts

One of the reasons I've hesitated to post pictures of my big Dragon*con painting is that I don't have photos of it finished. I took pictures the night before, when it was almost finished. And I also took the pictures in a dimly lit basement. So.... be warned these are not the final product or good pictures. But lest ragermouse slay me...



( wisdom )

a dragoncon piece - to accompany this foxy fellow. previous WIP.

another dcon piece.

a new version of a very old piece. a vast improvement.

a watercolor redo of Jenny. I like both versions, but think I am sweeter on this one.

sketch which led to this:

this is about 3 ft by 4ft. hopefully will be the centerpiece of my dragoncon display. a lot is riding on this image. more than i have the energy to say here. but hopefully i shall muster it later

last but not least, a commission I did for a lovely woman named Christina Meeks.

LJ folks, how do you feel about this format? i am undecided.

this dude is fat. and not a real animal.

not even worth a post, but what the hey -

Close up of the figure in a picture I am working on for a lovely lady named Christina Meeks, of a childhood memory of her mother's...

( beyond )

joined a challenge @ deviantart hosted by the deviant dominiquefung. basically, do one digital illustration a day - reasonably finished, basically not a sketch but something done. i decided to undertake this for a few reasons. one, i polish things until i absolutely cannot stand to look at them anymore, which makes my work very, very slow. it also keeps me from just messing around and experimenting. i also psych myself out of playing around w/ ideas, convincing myself that i don't have the skill level to do them service, or whatever. so this will hopefully get me to loosen up, put me in the habit of increasing my output, and harden my digital chops which have gotten a bit sloppy.

( day 1, day 2, and day 3 - one image may be a bit disturbing for gore/subtext )

( near finished delila's logo... usual warnings apply... )

( b&w potential logo for deza, no nudity but suggestive )

( dorothy gale )

a wise man indeed.

( more 2008 sketches )

( finished marker/colored pencil practice jam w/in, too lazy to resize )

color progress, though raped by scanner. should i acquire more reasonable employment, a new scanner is on the list!

( two old pieces inked recently )

summer job. "you want butter on that?" drew this on the plane to nyc.

( concepts for deza's fictional strip joint 'Delilah's' logo beneath... less (detailed/fully exposed) boobies than usual, it's a twisted world )

I have actually drawn things since the new year, I'm just worse about sharing. Mostly ink doodles in notebooks, some of which are very different from what people are used to seeing from me. A tidbit, though more are to come....



happy new year (how many months ago?)

( two doodles of varying gravity )

Help me make a decision about an upcoming piece for an art benefit!

Details and poll here!

Grrr, if only this were a paid account...

*edit* you can only vote if you are a friend of that journal, but feel free to leave a comment/thoughts!

Today, I let people on my personal journal make requests for really rough sketches... it was fun and passed the time brilliantly (even if I should have been passing time with better endeavors)!

So far we've got:
my own request - professor X
Kaylee for nanashi_jones
Dingo for dingo_yellowdog
Nora's D&D Character GERMAINE CAHOON for ragermouse
my old X-men fanfic character Gold for ragermouse
Harry Dresden for arkhamrefugee

And now EVERYTHING else...


brides. don't. wear. red.

( bulk of sketches and semi finished pieces from 2007... might take a while to load, and i always hear rumor of naked ladies around these parts.... )

( mild nudity as usual )

This is a collection of images I posted last year on my personal journal - works in progress and/or finished pieces that I want to rework. Who would have guessed ... they all remain unfinished!

( a veritable bevy of images! as usual, some mild nudity. )

Right, so, I abandoned this thing and I feel terrible... because some lovely people watch it and I've neglected them! Please, if any of you are still out there, take a gander at my main journal relevantpink and fill out the poll there. It's about the future of how my art is showcased online, so your feedback will be invaluable. My hope is to set up a sketchblog w/ an RSS feed people can add, and it will make coordinating updates much easier (part of why this journal fell by the wayside). Your feedback will help with my planning. Thank you!
