Kitty

I haven't posted in a while since I've been so busy with work and travel, so here's a lil kitten to make us all feel better. Same style as my Panda, Penguin, and Owl I did in past. Hang in there for some more!

SLUG Magazine Product Review

Thanks to SLUG for the fun product review!

Lady Voodoo

Craft Lake City 2011

I got in, I got in! My Tiny Robot Factory has been accepted into SLC's 3rd annual craft festival, Craft Lake City! I have a lot to do to get ready! :)

Grace Gloria

My Grandmother was a beautiful woman. I wish my reference photograph for this illustration wasn't so teeny, as I would have loved to capture more of her charm and the details of her surroundings. I did this a couple years ago and just found it as I was searching for something else, and thought it deserved a post. <3 you always Gram.

Day Of The Dead

Inspired by my sister who really digs skulls and Dia De Los Muertos.

Burn

I've been trying to digitally paint in this style for weeks now, and it turns out the secret lies in PS5's new brushes. This took me an embarrassingly long time to produce but since it was a first, I know I'll be much faster next time around. I love the soft feel and the flames are almost exactly how I pictured them to be.

Painted

Still not completely done, but most of the paint job is finished. Her hair and some details on her eyes and shirt need to be completed but here I am so far.
I received my new Magic Sculpt clay in the mail yesterday! I will be carefully planning out my next project. Perhaps I'll do another bust like this one for practice before I dive into a head to toe figure. At first this model was looking like Lady Gaga to me, without intending to, and now that she's painted all I see is Scarlett Johansson. I didn't intend a charcature of any type but I think it's funny how it just happens sometimes.

Clay Lady

It's been years since I've had the time to sculpt something other than a tiny robot for TRF! I am so excited about this little test run I got to do. Sculpy is really difficult to smooth out so I'm even more excited about the "Magic Sculpt" I recently discovered and ordered. It should be much stronger and better for smoothing and carving for really fine details. I wasn't sure where I was going with this creation when I started her, but she is totally reminding me of Lady Gaga. I can't wait until I get my new clay so I can sculpt a head-to-toe maquette of one of my own characters.

Buddha

Commissioned by a client (but never used) for a coffee packaging concept.

Pigtails Finished

I'm trying to get the hang of this gouache style I'm seeing all of my favorite illustrators doing lately. I love how soft it is, as opposed to sharp clean vector lines. I'm not there yet, but on my way!

Pigtails

My current work-in-progress.
