Calgary Comic Expo

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

First, have a Pangolin in a Dinner Jacket beanie to start your day! What a dapper fellow.

I will be there, will you?

I’ll have more details as I get them, like a table number and all, but I don’t think I’m in artist alley this time around. For those of you wondering, yes I will be doing the ‘How to Draw Star Wars’ stuff again and I’m looking forward to catching up with all you Calgary folks again. I’m sad to have missed Emerald City Comicon.

I will be offering commissions to be picked up at the con, such as bust sketches, sketch cards, cuties and beanies, look for an announcement in April or May for that. I need to get through the rest of the semester first.

Ancient art find brings some ancient commission prices!

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Dude. OK, so I was cleaning out my email and happened upon some old sent mail that I had not deleted for whatever reason. I found the D6 stats for ‘Castaways of Endor’, three short stories (Which I will be polishing and posting sooner or later) (Which I will post so someone can convert them to D20!) some art I’d forgotten I’d done (Including a bunch of Mr Miyagi type judo masters for a judo website, and some art of questionable artistic value) and some art that I had done, but I’d long since lamented their loss, as they were something I lost in a hard drive crash.

Beanies.

beanies

Back in 2002 a site I used to frequent had a Beanies game. You would reload pages, and every now and then you would find a beanie. Then you could trade said beanies and such. The game ended up being yanked because it was, understandably, an enormous bandwidth hog. So here they are. beanies. And these kind of represent the historical beginnings of a style I still use today!

Want a beanie? Contact me. Or comment. They’re $7. Keep the details small, I draw them about 2″x2″, flat colour, very fun to do. I have a long weekend and march break. Depending on the volume I get, I’ll let you know how long it’ll take. I’ll be starting them on Friday.

In case you are wondering, characters top to bottom, L-R:

Tarzy, Rody, Oryx, Ianhorous (All from one of the short stories, Fox-shark, Dead Bird Head Guy (x3 – he needs his own web comic), Dragon-Gecko, Chilly (Belongs to a friend of mine), Beacon, Random white tiger, Flying Armadillo, Amara as Ewok, Amara as Sith, Amara as Jedi, Amara as TMBG fan.

Fan art is OK. :D I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane!

Star Wars Galaxy 6 cards!

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Pardon the radio silence, but I have been knitting and doing exams and celebrating Christmas and such. I made these cards for Topps!

The first three are my return cards. If you’d like to put one on hold, just fire me an email. The others will be inserted randomly into packs.

Oh my!

Monday, November 8th, 2010

I moved my site to a new host and all was well, but it appears some of my posts and art have vanished – vanished I say! I will for sure have some new art and figure out hat happened with those posts eventually.

For those who don’t know, life is busy. I am in school taking medical Laboratory Technology and I have little time to draw. However, I do have some awesome things kicking around, like cute, scientific drawings, so I plan on polishing those up soon!

Hearts to you all!

*edit* Ah ha! I found some art.

I did 106 cards for the clone wars season two set this summer. Sadly, I left my markers in Toronto (they have since been returned. Huzzah!) so most of the cards were in pencil. I have them in my sketch card gallery if you want to have a peek, but they aren’t nearly as awesome as some sets.

These will be my returns, once they get to me, and because of my lack of marker, they aren’t as vibrant as usual. I am asking $100 each for Grievous, clone trooper and bossk. $75 each for Hohndo, baby gungan and other baby.

Interested? Let me know! I don’t physically have the cards yet, but I will have them soon.

Clone wars season 2 six backIn other Star wars news, I’ll be doing 50 cards for Star Wars Galaxy 6. Fewer cards + having my markers = more awesomeness for you all.

Although to be perfectly honest I am very very tempted to draw 50 ewoks :D

Harold gets his book!

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

This is what I’ve been working on for most of the summer, a (relatively) quick ash-canesque, black and white book for ‘How Harold Got His Wings’ (Written by the venerable Sarah Braun). The cover will be in colour, I’ll be staying up late tonight!

Just a sneak peek at my process. I draw at different sizes (And I had done my sketches for a larger format of book) so the toning is helping even out the shapes of the illustrations.

I’ll have this available at Fan Expo in Toronto, limited to 50, for $10. And you’ll get a scribble :D

What I did on my Summer Vacation – Icons

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I ran a little free icon drive (Not on the website, sorry, did it on some more targeted social networking things) to figure out how much to charge for icons. The full colour ones were for people who tipped (One of the ones on the full colour sheet is not in colour because I’m waiting for reference), the mostly monochrome ones were the free ones.

Want an Icon? 100×100 or 150×150 icons – $10 for colour, $5 for tones. One character only. If the character or scene you want is complex, the prices will be more.

Now to move on to some bigger pieces of art, I am going to get a very rough Harold book completed for the con, working on that this weekend while I am in an Internetless area!

Chicagoland Charity Cards

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I have some new art, but it’s a lot so I’m breaking it up over a few posts. All of my art is in the galleries (hint: Teeny commissions, Clone wars widescreen cards and Custom Sketch cards) but here are a few select cards I really really liked :)

More Sketch Cards can be found here. And I added a couple to my deviantart I haven’t added to the site yet :)

Summer means new art!

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I am finished with my semester and I have more time and energy to draw!

Here are a couple of fun pieces. One is a commission of Yoda, and the other is a bookmark I’ll be selling once I get my hands on a laminator.

How to Draw Jaxxon – On Starwars.com

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

In between my studying (I’m in school to be a Med Lab Technologist), work and a few commissions, I managed to squeak in a ‘How to Draw’ tutorial Bonnie’s been trying to get me to do for a while. Well! It’s Easter weekend, so what better time than to have a rockin’ rocket rabbit drawing session?
