Concern

2009-03-29T12:01:00.000-07:00

Here is one of the people from the former era: a young man with a great deal of concern...

Princess Athea Character Sheet

2009-03-25T15:45:00.001-07:00

The original design was intended for a children’s magazine, unfortunately the company went under and the project was never finished. Since I had already done all this design work it was a shame to let it sit so I painted the character and gave her a new name.

"The Martyr's grave is the foundation of the Imperium"

This is a thumbnail of another single comic page I drew. I guess I'm playing with sequential art, seeing what I can do with as few words as possible.

I go off on these creative tangents sometimes. It's what makes it interesting to be me.

2009-03-07T00:55:00.000-08:00

Went from zero to what you see below in less than 1 day. Enjoy!

Dramin Guard

2009-03-03T06:32:00.000-08:00

This is one of the Dramin City Guard. Being a coastal city, the Guard must be able to dress warmly, yet the warren-like nature of the city's layout forces them to wear light armor so they may pursue criminals without being easily winded.

Consequently, the Dramin Guard wear leather and thickly woven cloth, and are fantastic swordsmen, agile and quick. Highly disciplined and trained to work in small groups, they are fantastic skirmishers, but would make terrible footsoldiers. Fortunately, the City of Draima has never had need of footsoldiers.

More Llamur sketches

2009-01-13T19:57:00.001-08:00

More Llamur sketches... the People.

Llamur are a sect of female warriors, a desert people who live in the wilds. Matriarchal and male-hating, the males they own or catch are often enslaved, forced to do hard labor. They tend to be treated relatively well. When it comes time for a Llamur warrior to breed, they select a male from the slaves, clean him up and let him live in luxury until the warrior conceives. From there, the male is returned to the rest of the slaves, but is given a position watching over them. It is in this way that the slaves regulate themselves, and only the best and strongest are used to breed.

2009-01-12T23:28:00.000-08:00

ok, no, really. we're going to be posting regular-like to this blog. sketches, art, thoughts. whatever.

Sharing

2008-12-23T23:02:00.001-08:00

I've had rather chronic nightmares my entire life. Apparently, this is rather unusual, as other people have happy dreams more often than not.

So I thought I'd share a few images from the last one. it's all a little rough, I wanted to throw it together before it faded from my head entirely.

2008-12-22T22:35:00.000-08:00

Been a few days since I posted... that's because I've been a little busy... so here's a gigantic art dump for all you people out there!

ok, maybe not gigantic, but several bits of art anyway.

oh, and I absolutely LOVE Kat's holiday art below! Check it out!

Everything above was drawn at the Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco.
