Hey Patrons,This month has been among the most challenging to date.A lot built up to Dragoncon, right at the start of the month. It basically knocked a 2 week chunk out of my schedule between prep, tr...

Upon the hill we saw
a figure wreathed in red.
With smoke around it rising
it sang to the newly dead.
"Do not give what cannot be taken"
It's mouth did not move.

The core idea behind this piece involved two things.1. Crabs2. A red and white color paletteDoing really colorful images is a lot easier than trying to balance a black and white one. I keep resisting ...

This piece was started with a far more rendered sketch than what I normally do. With less than a week to finish it, I wanted to see if doing a more elaborate sketch would speed the process along.

Hey there faithful backers.
I've fallen behind on tutorial creation almost instantly after starting it. It's going to happen because I enjoy doing it and I know you are interested to see it.

I had a really bad day today. But there is something about dark moods that allow me to put more personal feelings into a painting. Rather than keep a scary looking face and threatening hand, I thought...
