Fan Art - Final Fantasy XII

This is an old drawing, but I still like it. It's of a character named Penelo from the game Final Fantasy XII. I really liked the design of her outfit -- it's cute but not too cute and it isn't distractingly revealing.

1970's forgotten movie attack

If there were to be a comic book of the old 1970's movie The Omen, it might look like this

Something from my sketchbook.

Onocentaur

"Onocentaur"
18"x24"
Marker on paper

I heard somewhere that donkeys don't like dogs and can actually be trained to guard livestock by chasing off coyotes. I don't know whether this is true, but the comment illicited from me a dramatic and strangely humorous mental image of strife between dog and donkey. This piece is loosely inspired by that mental image. In this case, one finds a half-man half-donkey creature being accosted by domestic dogs (although they arguably don't look like domestic dogs, maybe I should have picked a particular breed and gotten a picture, but hindsight's 20/20.)

I really like how this turned out. Imperfections aside, I think it captured the feel I was going for. I didn't exactly want a violent image. I wanted to capture the tension of a situation that has not yet erupted in actual violence. In this case, both parties are about evenly matched and stand a good chance of serious injury. There's barking, growling, anxious rearing but either side has yet to make a deffinitive move. I naively thought all of this was self-evident from the image, and that the forty minute critique would require little explaination on my part. In actuality my genuinely supportive classmates were confused about exactly what was happening in the picture, but where nonetheless enthusiastic. My crits often go like this.

Safari life drawing

I drew this while on Safari in Kenya. I drew very little, primarily because it's hard to draw in a moving vehicle, especially if that vehicle is a VW van traveling on dirt roads, which was most of my Africa trip. We stopped at the lions for quite a while and I had time to draw them.

It's been so long...

I guess I'm updating just for the sake of updating. This is from my sketchbook. I like philosophy a little, and have made a few caricatures of a few notable philosophers. Also, a fanciful imagining of a pope with an eyepatch.

An obvious cartoon cross-over goldmine

I suppose this is 6 months too late, but I found this old marker drawing on my computer.

Another doodle

So, I was taking a night off, smoking, and watching South Park. I think this is one of the better doodles I made that night. I taped the fortune I got form the chinese food I had for dinner that night.

The two characters on the top art supposed to be on a motorcycle. They wern't supposed to look like they were embracing... I like the drawing regardless.

I don't know what to say about the little "disney" cartoon-women-thing in the bottom right corner.
