Original Character: Adobe Illustrator

My original character from a book I'm writing (only eight chapters in and second draft). I did this in Adobe Illustrator, it has been years since I've used the program like this. I wanted to get a smoother line weight and comic book ink feel. It is going back into Photoshop for color.

Original character with snow flurries in the background. I wanted to write a story inspired by Jack Frost. I’ve always like Jack Frost and winter. So I created a character with powers of ice and snow just like Jack Frost…however, my character has more power than to just nip one’s nose. Created this concept with Illustrator and Photoshop.

Fan Art, Digital Art, Animation!

This is my process for turning traditional art to digital art. 

 My version of the Joker from Batman…work in progress. Sharpie drawn and going into Photoshop. Still not as scary as I imagined it. Fan art!

 My version of the Joker from Batman! Finished Photoshop version. It is not as scary as I envisioned the Joker to be…but it turned out pretty scary.

 I created this piece on paper using sharpie! Incubus artwork inspired on the top and my own style on the bottom. sharpies are so vibrant and love the colors. Thank god for Sharpies!!

 My music girl! Music makes you lose control  only five hours of work and it’s done.

 Legendary Super Saiyan Broly from Dragon Ball Z trilogy movies. Extremely powerful and insane character. My version of Broly, work in progress. All in sharpie…sometimes sharpies are muddy with this drawing especially. I’m glad it’s not finished and going into Photoshop. Fan art!

This is my version of the legendary super saiyan Broly from Dragon Ball Z. I made a little GIF animation of him to really bring this illustration to life

Random Sharpie Doodles

I love working with sharpies and the vibrant color they bring!

Watercolors

I've taken a class that teaches watercolor painting, it's not my favorite style of painting but, have learned a lot from watercolor and its properties.

 Bruce Lee watercolor on handmade paper. Bruce Lee is a teacher and as passionate about his techniques as an artist is with painting.

This is my version of the sign Pisces done in watercolor.  

 My first attempt in five years to do watercolor...watercolor is still my least favorite medium to use. But I think it turned out pretty well after a while of not using the medium. Oh...and my new logo!!

 Watercolor illustration of my version of Aquarius head shot. Still trying to get used to watercolor…still is my least favorite medium to work with…but i think this turned out pretty well.

Fan Art Doodles!

These are sharpie fan art doodles from Adventure Time and Soul Eater.
 My version of Finn and Jake from Adventure Time! I created this little doodle with sharpies. Finn the human is the last of his kind because an apocalypse happened and founded by Jake’s family as a baby.
 I have often wondered what Finn was short for or if Finn was just it...Adventure Time fan art!! Sharpie art.
 I love love LOVE Adventure Time!! This is Princess Bubblegum sitting on a bar of chocolate. All done with sharpie. My version of course!

My version of Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time, fan art sharpie art. I want to develop my anime style with these doodles.

Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure time fan art and sharpie art. Marceline and Princess Bubblegum have dated before in the comics, but did not mention this on the TV show because the network is for a younger audience. 
My version of Soul and Maka from Soul Eater sharpie doodle. Soul Eater arguably has the most dynamic character profiles of any manga series produced, in my opinion and that I've ever seen…and it’s hilarious!
