New Year's Resolution

2009-01-16T11:28:00.005-05:00

So, I promised myself that I would post a new image in my blog every week this year. You know, so it doesn't fall into obscurity. Um... The last two weeks don't count. It's all just an illusion! Anyways, here's my brand-spanking-new image for 2009. It's me, sliding around on good ol' Toronto sidewalk sludge.

Suh-weet!

Ugh. So yeah, I've been really busy. So busy that I don't have time to update my frickin' blog. In two months, no less. Well, at the request of friends, here's an update.

I've started a painting of Princess Peach from the Super Mario series. Why Peach? Because she's awesome. And she's full of bright colours, which is something I like. Anyways, the above image is the start of my painting. I've put down a base of pink in acrylics (sorry for the craptastic picture), and drawn over it with a white pencil crayon.

Here's the start of the painting. I've gone ahead and fixed some of the posing. I reworked her eyes and right hand in the drawing stages. I've also started painting the background. I'm using a scumbling technique for this painting, so if the image seems a bit fuzzy, it really isn't. That's the way the painting looks. I'm not looking for realism with this piece, it's more of a colour study/mood study/I felt like it painting.

I guess I'll post more as the painting progresses.

Nice Day For A White Wedding

I wanted to post this on my birthday, but I got side-tracked by work. It's me in my future wedding dress; the one I want so badly. I've always thrown tradition to the wind, and my wedding will be no exception.

Hunk-a Hunk-a Burnin' Love

This is something I drew for my fiancee, who's a big fan of the online FPS Team Fortress 2. I love the character designs for that game, and I thought it would be fun to draw one of the characters in my own style.

New-Blog Smell

2008-06-14T08:16:00.000-04:00

So, I've had a this blog for a while. But I was so busy working on the blog, I wasn't working on the blog, y'know? I was so concerned about colour and the placement of things that I wasn't getting anything done. So I'll worry about that stuff later. I'm finally posting. Yay! To commemorate this momentous occasion, here's a sketch. Happy birthday, blog.
