BUGS AND SHIT

This was something I started work on a while ago, and just recently had the chance to finish.  I'm really proud of this one, and although I promised this to a close friend, I really don't wanna see this one go.  Oh, well.  Such is life.

The Eternal Chase

Here we have the line drawing and watercolor painting of this cat and mouse painting.  Originally intended to be more cyclic-looking in composition, constraints in dimensions of the paper forced me to alter it a little.  However, I think it was quite beneficial, because the pose of the cat is pretty neat.  I was inspired by the ink drawings of Horimouja and some sweet traditional tats.

Two Horses

Two different horses done as spitwash practice for my Apprenticeship at The Shaman's Den.

Chickbone

The black-capped chickadee is arguably one of my favorite bird species.

STAY TRUE

So this, and the vulcan hand from the previous post, were painted as gifts for the christmas holidays.  They were so popular among friends and family, that I have drawn up a list of desired subject matter from various family members.  The story might have gone another way, but owing to monetary constraints, I resorted to the use of art.  Yay!  But I see this as a positive project, one that will help my hone my drawing and painting skills.  So.  Expect to see more of these pop up over the coming days.

Live Long and Prosper

Furthering my skills with watercolor and gouache.  They have proven to be extremely rewarding and fun.  Seeing my designs in living color with so much texture and natural flaw is easily worth it.  The thing that has been giving me the most challenge, however, is lettering.  My handwriting is naturally pretty sloppy, and the prospect of lettering being the bulk of my early tattoo's isn't happy, but I am an existentialist, so I think that it will contribute to the pool of my life experiences in some way or another.

From Heat shall the Smoke Rise Up

I've been missing the use of color.  Spit-wash and gouache.  Let's open the flood-gates and see what happens.
