The Season for Painting

I decided to do another painting for Blizzard's other contest, the holiday fan art calender contest. The prize is a Wacom Cintiq. Which is super sweet, so I give it everything I got. I'm impressed with the results, but looking at it now it might be a bit overworked.

Holiday Cheer

I've been super lazy to keep this blog up, started a new job a few months ago so I've been tired too. However, I managed to pull this contest submission out of the nether and win too, woot! The prize was a whole set of gaming peripherals: keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, head phones all from Razer as well as a special holiday card from Blizzard. Here's my winning entry.

Tuggin' the Tuskarr

Submitted a new comic to the WoW comic contest this month. It's inspired by the Tuskarr, everybody's favorite dumpy buck-toothed race. Tried out a few new different techniques in this one, and used a few tried and true ones. I'm especially impressed with how the digital marker technique shined through, it worked well with the comic too.

Popping Out

I'll just let this painting speak for itself.

Turtle Thumbs

Here are some thumbnails I did for a painting.

Unaware

This is a submission to the WoW Insider's Fan Art Contest. I gave it all I got with this one and churned it out in two nights. I'm not so sure about the premise of the painting, but I liked the way it turned out. It's got that finished, but not overworked look.

The Wrath of Professor Penguin

Continuing my penguin series, I present Professor Penguin. I'm not really sure what kind of super powers he has, but I'm sure whatever it is it's awesome.

Scriffito

I wanted to do something simple today. This was an exercise in making a piece of work with one unifying technique. I used to employ a scriffito technique on copper board covered in black paint so I tried it in a very minimalistic way here. Not sure I like how it turned out, especially with the impromptu subject matter.
