Well a gentleman at Deviant Art told me I couldn't draw Kiva with a big butt. ...I won. :) I've never seen this character before so I have no idea what she looks like normally with the exception of my two ref. pics.

I drew Kandi like three or four hours today. I think my issue has been getting her to look sexy (yet borderline trashy/Brittney Spears) and still not slutty. Slutty is easy, the previously mentioned is another matter. :)

Started looking at the Yeagle books and started sketching.

Hey, look at me. Another post before I let three months go by. Guess those Zig Ziglar tapes are paying off. LOL Not. Another attempt at my girls...still got a little work to do.

I usually try to cram quick sketches in before the baby wakes up. I had a few minutes to myself and so I decided to put some color on a gesture drawing I did.

It's been a while since I drew the Chicas. Since I decided to take them mainstream I want them to be a little more animation influenced. This is the first pic I've done from start to finish digital so maybe that's why I crapped out and did the same old same old. I drew them with too realistic proportions (which is how I drew them before). I colored it because I wanted to make it a looser style than I'm used to. ...didn't do that either. Maybe next time.

Sketched it in Photoshop, inked it in Manga Studio, and colored it back in PS.

This was a commission I colored. It was too cool to finally color something other than men in tights for once.

Well after a little playing I finally found some interesting ways to use the smudge tool. Not a true "good" example, but the best one can come up with after midnight. :)

I've been studying a lot of fine artist in an effort to be more colorful--pun intended.

Sometimes digital can go towards your benefit, sometimes it can go towards your demise. This color study was living proof of the latter. I kept repainting the water cause I couldn't connect with the color. I'm tired of this. Excuse me waitress, another round please.

I did this pic a couple of weeks ago. After I inked it, I thought it was blah. The puppies came out cute in some places, but still....blah.

Do I have a thing for redheads and not know it? Anyhoow, I've been playing around with adding an animation flavor to my style. Actually I've been playing around with it for a while, this is the only pic that proves it. LOL

This is sad! I just looked and my last blog update was nearly a month ago. Whoa!!!! Oh well, this pic is just an experiment in color.

I saw a picture of Jamie Hammer so I figured it would be a good pic to practice on.

This started out playing with brushes in Photoshop to see which ones I liked to ink with. Well then came ref, color and...

I'll admit lakes (and bodies of water in general) are starting to get a little boring. Oh well, at least it's something. :)

I told myself I would hang out at Craig Mullins site until I was motivated to paint something. Now, I painted something. I'm going back into my hole now.

I did this and started to play with texturing brushes...then my PS froze. Apparently digital is only smarter when you save periodicly.

I did a lil sketch in PS. I've been studying manga again so her eyes are a lil bigger than usual.

After being floored by Daarken (www.daarken.com) I wanted to do some color studies.
