Here’s another commission I finished up recently. As you can probably tell, this was done as a birthday present and the recipient’s favorite character is Fathom.
This was my first time using watercolors in roughly one thousand years, and I think it turned out pretty well. I also used some colored pencils on top to add some shading and clean up the edges.

Here is the finished color version of the in-progress Tara commission I posted the other day. It was drawn on a piece of Bristol board that had been signed and personalized by Amber Benson. Fun!
Done with the usual Prismacolor art markers and colored pencils. Click for the full version.

Hey there, I’ve got a couple new-ish pieces to share. I’ve been busy in freelance Graphic Design Land (making tha monies) for the past few months, but I’m starting to catch up on commissions and will hopefully have more to share soon.
First is a quick piece I did for the daughter of a couple friends. She’s one year old so this is sort of more for her parents until she’s fully indoctrinated into the Holy Church of Star Wars. (Click the images to zoom and enhance.)

Next up is a commission done for probably my number one fan (other than my mom and my husband), Rick. I can’t draw Kitty Pryde without drawing Lockheed, it’s a rule.

I finally got around to setting up a WordPress installation and moving the site content over. Due to some older, indispensable plugins, I was no longer able to upgrade Movable Type which was only going to get more obnoxious as time went on. So, here we are with a new system and a few template changes. Next up is the Conjoined Comics site. Yaaaay.
In art news, I’m finishing up the fifth issue of To The Power Against and will be starting on the sixth once Carrie and I work out the thumbnails. I’m also working on a couple goodies that will be up by the end of the week.
For fun, I took some inspiration from Periscope Studio’s Miyazaki Week and did a quick sketch of Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle. Then I remembered that it’s been one million years since I’ve done something in an anime style.
