Early stages - the chaotic concept sketch (with rough vanishing points) followed by a more careful exploration of values. I painted directly over the grayscale layer for this particular piece. A bi...

A scene for @Pamiiruq on Twitter. Lots of tricky elements in this one! The project was a great opportunity to practice framing architecture in perspective. :)

A waist-up portrait for @waywardmutt on Twitter! Fun lil' paw-hands and a wonderful character design to work with. :)

A portrait for @DuskAraiguma on Twitter - I really loved working with the colors of this character! And a bit of stonework and plant shapes on the side for fun. :)

Some of the early stages on this project. :) The client ultimately chose a colder mood for the piece (a great choice!), but I played around with a warmer version early on as well.

The halfway point from some recent pencil commissions. There's something lovely about pure, polished linework and I'm particularly happy with how these two turned out. :)

The finished piece. :) I tried to keep things fairly loose and simple with this one - it's practice, after all! Sometimes a little canvas flip at the end feels better for the composition.

I'm excited to open for the first commissions of the new year - January 18 at 12 PM PST! I can take on 2-4 projects this time around.
More architecture! This time a cliffside house in full color. I'm fascinated by buildings that fit snugly into the landscape. I also wanted to try out a brighter palette than I normally work with.&...
