From a melancholic time, and from listening to “Spider and I” by Brian Eno on repeat. Click to go back
Shadowboxing

The Aorta of the World
The colors took way too long to settle.
Palani
I have had this sketch for a while (see the date on it), and while I liked the two fish at the left and the bird, the whole thing was kind of ruined by the goofy looks on two of the fish in the middle. And so to make them more presentable, I took out their eyes… Click to go back
Beta
3/22/2016 commission. The creature’s name is Beta. Click to go back
Watermelon Fuzz
This was first worked upon in 2013 and nearly finished in early 2014, but I did not touch up and the colors and release this until April 2016. This gets its name from how in its earlier stages the head was green. This progress animation illustrates what I mean about the green:
Steeplechase Weather
Some of the chaos from that time. Click to go back
Oncoming Verdance

More practicing with the cintiq. I’ve really wanted to do watercolor-like scenes. A slightly more desaturated version: And finally a version that shows off the lineart better:

Numli
Listened to My Life In the Bush of Ghosts during this… trying to diversity my eel-like subject. Click to go back . .

Cintiq Charles
First serious try on the Cintiq.
Catherplexy
A rather cut-and-dry example of my natural style, I drew this dog after spending so long keeping myself away from drawing on paper to work on Astral Candy, a more protracted illustration project. You could say this was made to see if I could still draw at all. – – – This picture also has an earlier, alternate coloring. I almost continued to work on this version until I realized I already use this scheme a lot.
Brillig
Hmm, I think purple must be a color I associate with the subconscious for now.
Furtive Ascendant
A not-too-stable dog with sloughing fur…
Stalagma
Ears upon ears upon ears
Fuel Spill
I think the biggest problem here is having lit flames by the oil, but oh well.

Spontaneous and stylistically related to Deer with Bird Fly-By.
Ingenue
A little gumdrop explores a world. More later…
TF2 Sketches
Well, it’s mainly Scout.
