CTN!!!

Hi Everyone!

It's been a crazy 6 months since I last got on here.  If you've followed any other of my social medias you've seen what I've been up to, but if you haven't I'll try and catch you up artwise.  I'm at CTN-X this weekend, so if any of you want to say "Hi" I'll be doing my thing at T-146 in Hall A.  I've got books, prints, bookmarks, and Doctor Who buttons for sale.

I've finished the bulk of my Doctor Who Buttons.  I'll be filling in the gaps as I get the time.  Here is the First Doctor and his companions, Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton, Viki, Steven Taylor, and Dodo Chaplet.

I've also finished a few digital painting based on Greek Mythology.  I'll try and get those up sometime soon.

The Second, Third, and Fourth Doctors and their Companions

I'm almost finished with this Doctor Who character portrait series, I only have the First Doctor and his companions (plus any extra characters I decide to add in) left to Draw.

Here is the Second Doctor and his companions, Ben Jackson, Polly Wright, Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield, and Zoe Heriot

The Third Doctor and his companions, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Liz Shaw, and Jo Grant

The Fourth Doctor and his companions, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Romana I, Romana II, and Leela

I'm hoping to have the First Doctor and his companions done soon and I'll have some of this series available for sale as buttons when I table at CTN in November.  More on that later!

Hi guys!  It's going to be a small update this time, since I've been working mainly traditionally the last few weeks, and haven't had time to scan stuff in.  I'm also in the planning stages for some prints and a sketchbook for CTN.   Next week I should have more to post, as I've been working on the Doctor Who portrait series and am almost finished with it.

Here's the latest illustration I've done.  I had a lot of fun trying to figure out the design for Apollo's lyre.

Art from January and February

It's been another busy couple of months!  I've been to McCall, Idaho and Portland, Oregon with a birthday in between.  Last weekend was the annual Doctor Who convention, Gallifrey One, where I got to hug Captain Jack Harkness himself, John Barrowman.  I also managed to get quite a bit of art done as well.  I'm working on some sketchbook ideas to sell at CTN next year.

I've worked my way through Doctor number 5 and all of his companions since my last post and will be moving on to the 4th Doctor soon!

I've finished my design for Psyche's father.  I've realized that I've missed a few of the gods and goddesses, so they'll be coming up soon.

This last image is one that I am extremely proud of.  It's probably one of the most challenging illustrations I've worked on.

See you next time!

Wow! It's been a while...

Hey, guys!  The last few months have been kinda busy.  London was fun.  I got to see new fun stuff and old favorites.  I always want to go back the minute I get back home.  Since then I had a wedding to go to, CTN, and the holidays.  Each time I was going to post something came up.  But anyways here is some of the stuff I've been working on.

First up is the design I've worked up for Psyche's mother.  I'm working on her father at the moment.  I've found I enjoy drawing older characters.  I haven't done much of it in the past, but it's fun.

I've also been working on some new prints.  Here's one that I've finished of Aphrodite.  I've got the rest thumbnailed out, but I've got to work on them some more.

I did up a portrait of the 12th Doctor during the last season of Doctor Who.  I'm going to be buying a button maker so I can make some buttons of it and others for conventions.  I'm going to try and give the River Song and Jack Harkness ones to their actors at Gallifrey One in February.

I'm going to finish off this with some mermaids I was doing with the Color Palette Challenge that was going around a while ago.  I still haven't done all of them, but here's what I have.

I'll try and get another post up soon!

Gods and mortals

As always life's been a bit too busy to post over here.  If you're following me on Tumblr you've already seen all of these, but I like to spread out my stuff. 

Aphrodite, Cupid's mother and the villain of our story.  She's not entirely bad, as she does love her son and most of her actions towards Psyche (or some of them at any rate) are done in the belief that she is not good enough for him.  She's sort of the mother-in-law from hell.

Ares, god of war and possibly Cupid's biological father.  I haven 't fully decided on that.  He's an act first think second kind of guy, with a quick, pretty explosive temper.  However when he's in a good mood, he's a pretty good guy.

Persephone's mom.  We probably won't see her except in passing.  I had to crop her role out as it slowed down the story and I just wanted to get to the confrontation between Psyche and Aphrodite at Aphrodite's temple.

Psyche's oldest sister.  Psyche's sister's are described as being unattractive.  I liked the idea that they were alright looking girls who overcompensated with clothes, jewelry, and make up where Psyche was simple.  Charis is a Greek name meaning "grace, kindness" which aren't necessarily traits I'd ascribe to her.  She's the more hot headed of the three sisters.

Psyche's next oldest sister.  Costume wise I decided to have the main colors of Charis and Melitta's clothes fall to either side of Psyche's on the color spectrum.  Melitta generally has a cooler head than Charis.  Melitta is an ancient Greek version of the name, Melissa, which means "bee" and Melitta likes to think of herself as and tries to be the queen bee of the group.

I'm off to London later this week, so I'll try to post again when I get back.  I'm participating in Inktober over on my Instagram, so I'll try and cross-post some of my stuff over here then as well.
