Yeti

Here's my rendition of a super happy Yeti! I wanted to take myself out of my usual comfort zone for this one, and had a lot of fun trying to worry more about the shapes, and design of the Yeti as opposed to over doing the anatomy and structure that I find myself leaning on more. Hope you enjoy!

Medieval Ram

This pencil sketch is straight out of one of my many sketchbooks. I've always really enjoyed Disney's Robin Hood. The designs of the anthropomorphic characters are so fun, full of life, and helped inspire this piece. Not to mention the beautiful work of Juanjo Guarnido in Blacksad. I don't remember exactly  what I was thinking with this piece. Looking back on it, I like to think that he's on a journey across some great hilly plains to warn of coming danger. Hope you enjoy!

Space Kitty Colored

I really enjoyed adding the color to this one. The orange and blue color palette worked out very nicely, and added to the warm tone I wanted for the piece. I decided to not go black with the background 1, because I need a new black marker, and 2, because I was worried it may take away from the space kitty. I would like to bring it into Photoshop to try out a black space behind the astro-kitty. Or I might just have to buy a new black marker. Hope you enjoy!

Rocksteady


What kid of the 80's didn't love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I was inspired by the very good, new Ninja Turtles animated show, and toys from Nickelodeon that came out around 2012-2013. I always liked the mutant rhino and warthog that the turtles fought and got inspired to draw rocksteady. These drawings were done far apart time wise, but I still like playing around with the fun shapes that can be found in rhinos. With Bebop and Rocksteady cast for the next TMNT movie, I may have to do another. Hope you enjoy!

Blue Dragon

This was a fun drawing to do. Especially now that I'm animating dragons on the project I'm working on now. I wanted to try to use more curves and straights with this drawing for a more graphic feel. The color is all in marker again, which is such a fun medium to use. I definitely recommend trying it! Hope you enjoy!
