Catching Up

I'm pretty convinced that I am the worst Blogger updater ever.
But there is always time for change, right?
That time is now.
These are from a monthly focus I did a little while ago on big cats:

Most of my warm-ups nowadays consist of continuing the Pokemonathon over on Tumblr:

151 is a lot to go through, but it's been fun drawing them so far.

Here are a few of some recent commissions that I've done:

A girl commissioned me to draw some of her critters for a post-apocalyptic/evolution-gone-wrong story she has. This guy was one of them.

My friend Ashley also commissioned me to draw Quetzalcoatl for her. I love him, so this was so fun to draw!

These are just some recent sketches and things that I've done in-between portfolio work, commissions, and school work.

Some more Pokemon things that I've done with friends. There is this website floating around called Pokemon Fusion and you can get some crazy fun Pokemon combos to draw. My friends Kendall and Danielle challenged me to a draw battle, these are the results of my combos:

And then a Mew, for good measure.

I discovered Motorcity.

More Post because I missed drawing him. And he looks like he would hang out in the same world as Lindsey's character Timothy.

Reality Not Included Volume 2 is coming out soon! I'm working on a comic for it featuring these two guys. We have an Indie-Go-Go going on right now, please support us! There is going to be a ton of great art and comics in this issue. Check it out!

Some shoes I painted for my friend Carson.

A quick self-portrait speed paint for a warm-up.

A character of mine for a story that I've been developing.

Sketchbook things coming soon!

Catching up on sketching

Here is some character exploration sketches for Lucy, one of the characters from a short film being produced here at BYU. The title is Bothered and is being directed by Christina Skyles. We're currently working on character designing. I'll be animating on the film, so I wanted to play with the current design for Lucy and try to get some acting sketches down.

I needed to choose a cool art style for my course at work, so I experimented with this piece. Heavily influenced by Kako's work.

Here is my final for digital painting. It's where the Wolf Mafia spends their time.

My final for Drawing for Animation. We had to take an already existing character and render it realistically, for 10-14 year old boys, and for 4-7 year old girls. I chose Capn' Crunch with Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam.

Someitmes it's nice to be able to just draw away from school assignments. I sketched a lot during the break for fun. Recently I started a 30 day sketch challenge:

Day 1- Yourself

Day 2- Your Favorite Animal. My favorite animals are wolves, orcas, and Philippine Eagles. I combined them all into one ultimate favorite animal.

I plan on continuing the challenge, though they may not be as consecutive as I would like with school back in session! The next day is favorite food, so that should be a fun one.

Sometimes I just get an itch to draw dogs.

Well okay, more like all the time.

Last semester, my friend Kiersten started a sketch group for a bunch of us students. It's been a lot of fun so far! We have a new theme every day. I did this one for the day that had the theme of "Lackadaisy cats in the style of Mary Blair":

(on a side note, if you haven't read the webcomic Lackadaisy, then you should be. I'll kindly direct you there right now)

Another sketch theme, this one was "Humanoid Pokemon". I turned Ninetails into a woman who loves fur. Ninetail's fur...

These are just some tiger gestures from watching the cats play across Youtube.

That's it for now!

Sketchins Cont.

My best friend Chelsea is on her mission for the LDS church, so we write each other every week. Each letter includes a drawing. I drew this for her in a recent letter.
