Mylar

Drawn while distracted for 30 minutes, but I dragged on and took 2 weeks to color this. Click to go back

Skitta

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

Shadowboxing

The coloration here is reminiscent of the color palette I imagine when listening to some Bowie songs. Click to go back

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

Comes from early listens to the album Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy) by Brian Eno. The sketch’s name comes from another of Eno’s albums, Another Green World. Click to go back

Catalogue

This one was made to break another hound-drawing drought. First experiment with outlined teeth.

Ester and Estre

These two dogs have little in common, but they were drawn in the same timeframe. Ester Estre

Abyssal Ridge

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:

9/18/14

Tutti

This sketch’s name is short for Tutti Frutti. It’s colorful, isn’t it? Click to go back

Craminy

A general menagerie, I was probably listening to Another Green World during this. Click to go back

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.
