XXXIX- Tee-Ty

          Here is my Tree Mage, the sixth of my Dark Wings Mage series. My Tree Mages are ethnically based off most African origins (particularly central). They are also one of a few races that appear anthropomorphic.

XXXVIII- Character Expressions: Main

          These are the common expressions for my five main characters. Starting from the top left to right is Phoenix Flamestaff with the expressions of tough guy, anger, tired, and depressed. Then is Taiko Zitha with happy, scared, stud, and concern. Next is Lucrecia (Luci) Aeida with pleased, skeptic, confused, and EVIL EYE. At the bottom left is Salvick with mellow, irritated, mischievous, and pissed. And last but not least is Mika with cute, embarrassed, confused, and in trouble. More of these to come.

XXXVII- Hamlshee

           Here is my Sand Mage, or rather Hamlshee as I will be calling them now. The fifth of my Dark Wings Mage series. My Hamlshee are ethnically based off Arabic.

XXXVI- Mind Mage

          Here is my Mind Mage, the third of my Dark Wings Mage series. I really enjoyed doing this one and even made a video of the progress. My Mind Mages are ethnically based off British Islander. And if you're wondering what's up with her eyes? It's because she is blind, mind mages are born blind but have incredible psychic abilities.

XXXII- Wind Mage

          Here is my Wind Mage, the third of my Dark Wings Mage series. This too was rather time consuming. But like I said before "I feel that the more time spent on a piece, the more you should be proud of it." My Wind Mages are ethnically based off Baltic (German/Lithuanian/cct.).

XXXI- Thunder Mage

          Here is my Thunder Mage, the second of my Dark Wings Mage series. I really like how this one turned out and it was rather time consuming. I feel that the more time spent on a piece, the more you should be proud of it. My Thunder Mages are ethnically based off Central American/Aztec/Mayan/Incan ect. I went with more of a Mayan look to this one as her necklace bares the Mayan symbol for "cloud."

XXX- Dark Wings Villains

         
          This is a piece I did for my Character & Object Design. We were supposed to do a group of cute characters and a group of scary characters that appear to fit together. I used my Blood Mage group from Dark Wings. From left to right: Bartlebe, Avafordis (on throne), Selaina, and Zeek. This was my first time drawing Avafordis and Zeek so I really enjoyed finally getting to design them.

XXIV- Fire Mage

          This is a piece I did for fun and for an ethnicity study because the mages (a human race who possesses powers of the elements) all have these different ethnicities. For the fire mage I wanted to channel a Native American look so that was the look for this piece. Photoshop CS5 using a Wacom Cintiq.

XX- Dark Wings Cover

          This was a cover concept for Dark Wings that I did in my "Graphic Novel & Comic Building" class. I designed the title type, used a dynamic pose, and very awesome color and texturing.

XIV- Dark Wings Characters

          These are a couple of characters from Dark Wings. The top one is one of the supporting villains Selaina who is a Blood Mage. The second one is a supporting character Arukmis Wingates who is a Fire Mage. Mostly did it for posing characters. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

XIII- Dark Wings: Zodiac Series

          This was a time consuming but very fun series I did of the zodiac possessed characters in my webcomic Dark Wings. This was an experiment on straight digital painting (meaning without line work) and a great way for me to play with the zodiac's color combinations. I used all 12 for a 2010 calendar. There is a whole lot of information on each of these which can be viewed on my DeviantArt zodiac gallery. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

X- Dark Wings Cover Concept

          This was a cover concept for Dark Wings that I did about a year ago. I really wanted to do something where all the colors blended together well and were almost the same except for his eye which is a vibrant blue and the purpose of that was for his eye to stick out. This was also one of those opportunities to put in texture from a photo taken of my bathroom counter (wouldn't have guessed that huh?). Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

IX- Rudin Sunset

          I did this piece as chapter art for my webcomic Dark Wings. This was the art for Chapter 2. The two characters are watching the sunset of their home land which is a calming thing for them to do after battle. This not only was for the benefit of my comic but also for me to experience drawing landscapes. Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Tablet.

II- Love

        
          This was a piece done for an art challenge on DeviantArt where we were given 100 words and had to make a piece for each word. This one was for the word "Love." The characters in this piece are from my webcomic Dark Wings. I wanted to make it so that they looked like they were truly in love and I feel like I nailed it. I used Photoshop CS and a Wacom Tablet.
