more of "The Alchemist's Heart"

Here are a few more selected drawings from "The Alchemist's Heart." Hopefully I will have some images of the final book to post shortly! There are a lot more images than this, but these are my few favorites.  I didn't get to spend as much time on these as I would like to, but I think they still turned out pretty nicely considering! Thank you, art school, for forcing me to draw quickly!

busy busy busy!

Wow, I feel like this week my hand might as well be glued to a pen! (or wacom!) Besides sketching a lot at work, I have been illustrating a story written by Andy for his friend who is binding it all together for a bookbinding class project! Here are a few of the drawings so far... eventually I will hopefully have pictures of it all put together as a book! I like how this is turning out, its been a while since I have drawn in anything other than sketchbook pro!

Alphabeastiary-Bush Dai-Dai

My submission for the letter B on Alphabeastiary: the Bush Dai-Dai.

This obscure monster hails from the jungles of Guyana in South America and has its roots in Caribbean folklore.

The Bush Dai Dai will take the form of a beautiful woman and appear to travelers or in miner’s camps, and seduce a weak man she might take a fancy to. After having her way with the unfortunate she will change into a wild animal and eat her victim as they sleep. She is a mixture of the succubus myth with a dash of werewolf thrown in for good measure.

Alphabeastiary: Angha

Alphabeastiary is a bi-weekly art challenge blog that I will be contributing to! Each week, a new mythical creature is posted and we are to submit our original takes on the creature. Eventually, we will make it through the whole alphabet! The first creature is an Angha, which has the head of a dog, feet of a lion, and peacock tail and wings.

Here is my submission! Check out the rest of the blog for other cool entries!

Today's project: Comic Book Coasters

I got a new table that is wood, so therefore, I needed coasters!  Someone gave me a bunch of old comic books, so I went through them, found some cool panels, and decoupaged them to cork board to make my own coasters!  I think they turned out pretty cool...but the mod podge kinda wrinkled the paper more than I would have liked. I think I will look for a new technique next time...maybe I will make more!

A detail I like...the front and back side are from the same panel, just different parts of the image.

this guy is cold.

I am not cold.  Still about 80-90 degrees here in Atlanta...though it feels a lot cooler than it has been!
