Cartoon version of the band, Witherton.

This was done with pencil.

Punk Cat

A drawing of a punk style cat. Used pencil to draw it.

Imagination through books

Sketched from my mind.  Used pencil for the drawing and then scanned it in Photoshop.  Added some text to the drawing and used a gradient on the text.

Suited Mouse Illustration

A new addition to my artwork.  Hand drew it in pencil.  Scanned it into the computer and used Photoshop to color, shade, highlight and more. A mouse ready for the town.

Calvin and Hobbes Fan Art

These are different stages I did during the process of completing my piece.  Used pencil to sketch it out, then scanned it into Photoshop, digitally inked, colored, and use various effects in Photoshop.

Action Pose Sketch

Leaf

I took this photo of this leaf at Fort Bellefontaine near north St. Louis County.  I applied a glass distortion, filters like a gradient and light effect, and hue and saturation.

Sketch of Calvin and Hobbes

This is a sketch I did of the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes.  Created it with pencil.  I am currently working on coloring and shading the drawing.  I hope to show different stages of the art work.

Rough sketch and color of weapon ideas.

These are a few weapon ideas I drew up and colored to give me an idea on what they would look like colored.  These may not be the final colors, but it give me a rough idea what they will look like.  These weapons are for a game I am designing and the images are going with the game below.  The images of the game below, have a tree, clouds and a guy character in the scene.  So these weapons will be used in that game.

Pen drawings

Sketches and final artwork for Global Game Jam game.

Background scene

I changed the background and added a few things to make it stand out more.  This is an updated background of a video game I am creating.  The images and game is still in development stage.  Done image in Photoshop.

This background I took out the rocks.

Sample of Character B

This is a character color sample page.  Rough idea how or what the character B will look like.

Game Preview

This is the first preview of what I hope will be a game I will complete.  I created all of it with Photoshop.  I do not have all of the elements yet made in the scene.  I will add another character that the other guy will attack or hit.  I think its like a Versus style game or shooting type with platforms.

Colored Preview of Game Character

This is a few poses I came up with for a video game character I created.  I sketched it out first, scanned it into Photoshop, and colored it.

New Game Art Idea!

This is an idea that I sketched out for a game.  This is a draft of a character you may use in the game.  These are not the final drawings yet.  I did draw out one of the enemies that will also be in the game.  I may post it soon.  The game is still in the pre-production or designing stage.  I will try and update what I am doing.

Update on game progress.

Well I just got word that our game is coming together nicely.  I few more tweaks to do from what my friend said to me.  We are thinking it will be out hopefully in January 2012.  I will keep updates on the release.

I also hope to put some more artwork up soon.

The Night Before Thanksgiving.

Hey to all of my fans and onlookers.  It is just about Thanksgiving in a couple of hours at least here in the Midwest.  I want to give thanks to everyone who supported me and who is supporting me currently in life.

It been a rocky year and a half for me.  Finding my true skills and essence of my being.  I have struggled to get where I want to be and if that is what I have to travel then I will do my best to work through this time of my life.  I hope that God will fit those gifts and opportunities in my life and help me see those gifts and people that come into my life.

I am thankful and grateful to have friends, family, and things in my life.  I pray for everyone to have a Thanksgiving that is safe, enjoyable, and filled with love from others. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Halloween drawing.

For Halloween, I am sharing a pencil sketch.  Enjoy!  Happy Halloween to all.

A Few Kind Words From Me

I just want to say Thank You! To all of the bloggers, followers and fans of my art. Thank you for supporting me.

I especially want to Thank my friend, Mike. You have been a huge influence, coach, and mentor to me. You have help set change to my thinking and beliefs especially about myself. I have only known you for a short time in my life, but you have helped me get a start in a better place within that time.  I pray for both of us to continue to grow and encourage one another in this journey of life.

logo design

This is a quick logo I created for my portfolio.  To be clear, this is not a real event at this moment.

Thanks for the idea, Mike.

Happy Halloween

This is October and to get into the Eerie and Magical Season, I have a drawing I created last Halloween and I have finally had the time to scan it into my computer so I can show you this simple, goofy, and fun piece.  I first lightly sketched it out in pencil and once I was finished with that, I used a black permanent fine tip marker to finish the drawing off. 

September Pencil Drawings

Both kid Dracula (Alucard) and baby dragon, I drew from my mind.

August sketches

The guy leaning on a cane, I sketched it from my beautiful mind.  The couple kissing I had drawn it from a photo that I found on Google or Yahoo, and the birds and trees, I was at a local park and had drawn them from real life.

Moderately paced and steady wins the race.

To update you on the game, me and my friend are in the testing and troubleshooting process currently.  Having a bit of a snag, but my friend is working on it.  It has kind of put us in a bump in the road to launch it.  We will see how things progress in the next couple of weeks.
