XII- Fay of the Earth and Fay of the Air



        
           These was the start of a series of four elements from another comic that I had been working on. The first being Earth where the colors are green (a main color for earth) and her style is very medieval looking donning a pair of Fairy Wings. The second being Air where the colors are yellow (typical of air) and her style is very Japanese looking, donning a pair of bird wings. I still have to do Water and Fire but I may redo these ones as my style has changed since these were done.

XI- Grim Nocturnal


          This is an old cover concept for another comic I have been working on. The story of a NYPD detective that finds out that he is the new Grim Reaper and is has to deal with it for the rest of his life or the balance of life and death will fall. I love the color choices I used in this piece and I love the background even more. Photoshop CS3 and 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.

VIII- The Flame and The Sea Queen




          These were part of another DeviantArt challenge this time started by my sister Lauren. The challenge was to draw yourself as 50 different things and the first one was to draw yourself as a superhero and then as a pirate and so forth. I really like the poses and the shading in these pieces and I really like the background of the pirate piece. Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Tablet were used for both of these.

VII- Heavenly Sword


          This was a fun piece to do. I really wanted to do a piece because I found the style of the game (Heavenly Sword) to be most inspiring so I just had to do a piece for it. This is yet another one of those time consuming pieces I had but it allowed me to dabble into different photoshop techniques. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet using game reference images.

VI- How About a Shave?


          This was a piece originally intended for a "Sweeney Todd" movie poster contest on DeviantArt. I unfortunately did not win the contest but the piece received a lot of recognition. This was one of my most time consuming pieces that I've ever done taking me three to four weeks to do. It is by far one of my most favorite pieces in my collection. Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Tablet were used as well as a reference provided by Warner Bros. through DeviantArt.
