Aunt Maddie and the Monster

This was the first collaborative piece I did between two different artists, with me being the art director. But I tied together Christina Weinman’s drawing talent, along with the coloring skills of the deviant known as FailTaco. This was the result; a prelude image to something I’m working on known as the “Janus Fairytale Project”. Keep an eye out, I will be posting more about this project!

Disney/Touhou Crossover – Esmeralda as Yukari Yakumo

While I was back in ETSU, I followed a girl by the name of MellasFenixxes on deviantART. I loved her stuff and while I kept tabs on it, never thought about commissioning her till my first job started. Over the summer I was brave enough to ask her to commission a long-standing idea I had, some of the Disney girls dressed up in the outfits from Touhou. The first one we worked on was Esmeralda; this was the final result after I went back a few times to fix the background.

Whiteboard Doodles – Publishing Daleks

At my workplace, we have a whiteboard in the little kitchen area. Nobody really does anything on it except post a motivational flyer now and then. So I tried to add some funny doodles a few months in. I was inspired by a Dalek meme I had seen in school back in the beginning of the years, so I adapted it a bit as if they were working the job I was. 😛

 

Unfortunately, my coworkers didn’t appreciate it. It got erased a day later and nobody made a single comment on them. I never drew anything on their big whiteboard again.

Cardboard Creation – Borderlands 2 Longarm Pistol

I had just started playing Borderlands 2 on Xbox. Me being the creative fellow that I was, I drummed this up after falling in love with a long-barreled pistol in the game. That particular instance it was called the “Longarm”, hence the name.

 

I actually had a trigger but it tore off very easily when cutting the hole out. Oops.

Scientia en Potentia

My sister got her room remodeled a little bit, and part of what she did was get a portion of her room painted with the “markerboard paint”. I got to try it a little, and decided to put this fantastic piece out with one of the markers.

 

Even though I’m in DIGM now, it always feels like science doesn’t get a fighting chance. I got inspired to make a motivational poster for people to actually like science and keep their heads on logically. I might’ve been doing digital art, but I was probably the only one around that still wanted to do things with science and a telescope.

 

Maybe when my skills get better, I’ll revisit this concept again and do a proper piece. Only time will tell.

Novia and Her Rifle

I know it’s not much to look at, but this was a significant piece for me. I had gotten comfortable to walking into the ETSU DIGM labs on a whim to just use their PC’s for things, including the ones with the Cintiq 21UX tablets. This was the first drawing I did from start to finish, took me an hour one night when doing one of my classes that evening.

 

I knew at that point that I HAD to get one of those new Cintiq tablets for myself. That gave me the best drawing experience that no tablet had before.

 

So yes. Novia gives you happy belated Valentine’s Day wishes.
