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.

XXXV- Nathan Nichols

          This is a digital paint piece I did of a friend of mine Nathan Nichols. It took a long time considering what technique I was doing. But it was well worth it :)

XXXIV- Photoshop Frog: Video Progress

          This is the video progress I put together of the Photoshop Frog.

XXXIII- Photoshop Frog

          This is a piece that I collaborated with Nathan Nichols. This was based off a tutorial we found in a photoshop magazine. This was a great way to experiment with texture and details and I was glad to have Nathan asking me to do this and helping me do this, it was awesome and I had fun.

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.

XXIX- Magic Cards

          This is my Black Creature Card that I did of Selaina as a rather gnarly creature.

          This is my Blue Sorcery Card from my card project. I used this piece cause it seemed like it worked best.

          This is my Green Land Card.

          This is my Red Enchantment Card. I used this piece for it.

          This is my White Instant Card. I used this piece for it.

XXVIII- Jack of Hearts & Tarot Card

          These are a couple pieces I did for my Advanced Drawing class. We had to do 1 playing card, 1 tarot card, and 1 magic card. These are two of the cards that I did. The symbolism behind the Jack of Hearts (top) is that in France, Jack of Hearts is associated with La Hire. I chose the death card cause I love anything having to do with the Grim Reaper so I take any excuse to draw it.

XXVII- Underwater Prisoner Transport

          This was a project for Advanced Drawing called "How Fly is your Ride." We had to compose a piece of a creature riding a creature basically and have to make them look natural together. Don't know where my head was on this piece but I do love how it came out. Photoshop CS3 with Wacom Tablet.

XXVI- Game Cover Art

          This was for my "Advanced Drawing" class where we had to design and create a game cover, a poster, and a convention banner (kiosk). This is the game cover art work of my main character from my game/comic concept "Grim Nocturnal." Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Tablet.

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.

XVI- Lock and Loaded

          A fun piece I did that started as a sketch and then I photoshopped it. This is a fan art piece of (if you haven't already guessed) Harley Quinn from the Batman series wielding an RPG-7. A fun pose and was really fun to put together. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

XV- Disney Princess Series

          These are a part of a series I did purely out of boredom at I was going to compose them into a calendar but I never got the chance. They were meant to be a little odd but some of them ended coming out pretty cute. This was also an experiment for ethnicity studies cause I wanted every princess to actually look like their ethnicity (skin color, eyes, hair). Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

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.
