Oh yeah, a blog! I have one of those! I originally intended this for Shonen Jump’s recent Bakuman fan art contest, but a lack of ideas plagued me till the last few days. Ultimately I went with an odd “Death Note” mash-up, which… well, I imagine they received quite a few of those entries. However, [...]

Fan Art Friday: East Meets West
Accidentally topical! I’ve actually been puttering around on this one for a few weeks, and only finished it today. <_< Have a good weekend, all!

Random Watercolor Wednesday
Might as well put it up here, seeing as how it’s up everywhere else: Did a warm-up sketch over the weekend. I will yet learn the watercolors’ wily ways.

Shaking Off the Rust
Been a spell, huh? Happy to say I’m all but completely recovered from last month’s surgery, at least enough to hunch over the drawing board hours at a time. Been trying out a few new pen nibs and brushes lately; broadening what you’re capable of is never a bad thing, but mostly I just get [...]

Fan Art Friday: Premature Edition!
Off to the hospital today, so you get this a day early*: Still practising my brush technique. Like (I think) I’ve said before, I’ve not had much experience inking with a brush so it’s slow going trying to pick it up. Lots of fun in trying, though. *Getting fairly major surgery, or at least I [...]

Fan Art Friday!: Cross Game
I’m working on another watercolor, but I’m trying to take more time with things instead of rushing through work. And since I figure I need more practise with pens, brushes and tones anyway, you get this. Enjoy your weekend!

Fan Art Friday! Giant-Size Comeback Edition!
I wanted to throw a Man-Thing joke in the title so bad, you don’t even know. <_< Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. I’ve actually had a hard time producing much of anything worthwhile after the debacle that made up that last post. [Not so much the picture itself -- while I wouldn't consider the page [...]

Work for Hire 1: Jungle Fever 1830
Yes, that’s really what I’m calling it, and it’s probably better than it deserves. Urgh. Placeholder: Much more to say on this, but for now: I really have lost respect for myself on this, paying job or not, and I’m so glad to be done with it.

Fan Art Friday: Day(s) Late Dollar Short Edition!
Lots of good reading in this month’s Manga Moveable Feast ( “where a bunch of bloggers write about a single title over the course of a week,” for those who have no idea what the fuck I’m talking about) on one of the greatest manga series you can find, One Piece. Don’t just take my [...]
