2012 - the year of Koi

Remember I siad I wanted to do more Koi?

This one was a gift for my dentist. Complete with metalic paint.

This one a gift for one of my friends.

Details of the first koi, in different lighting.

I have this plan of doing a line of carousel sea animals. The Orca was the first one to start.

My personal art bag, with flying turtle and jellies.(his lunch)

And AWESOME Koi bones inks done by RachealM5 on DA. She is super awesome. Colors are by me.

And another contest on DA.

More 2012 lines

A little bit of everything from 2012

First off, emo vent art. Defiantly needed the vent. Haven't been THAT miserable in a long while. So Koi with a malformation virus.

Koishii as a traditional dragon. I need longer sketchbooks.

One of my friends as a dragon. I thought the name Exorant fit pretty well.

Kitty wings in a more heraldic style of lines. Her tail is WAY to short, and now that I look at it......it's just wierd.

One of my Dravins with scales.

And random stress doodle from a while ago. All ball point pen, done in the car.

An idea I want to color. Flare looking out at the falling rain from Raven's cave.

And lines for my Arien. I still need a good ref for them.

2012 Traditionals

On the other hand, 2012 was awesome for traditional arts. I went to town on quite a few things.

First one is some vent art. Just getting out excess emotions. Koi just soaking in her emotional state of mind.

Koko anthro ref lines...that I am not so happy with now.

Cute nessy lake monster. Was going to be for a contest....but I rand out of steam. I still like it and it is on the list for colors.

Random Koi inks. Still wanting to do more Koi fish things.

Large Koi Canvase painting. This photo is REALLY bad. like reallllllllllly baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Foo on cardboard for my pyo Foop swap partner.

Wedding gift for a very good friend. Acrylics on canvas.

Another Koi fish. I was really on a kick with these. It looks pretty awesome in person.

Cheap Art Commission for an awesome buyer. she requested a husky pup.

More Koi!

 Also trying to get into the wave art action.

2011 digitals

This was just a sad year. I half-moron tired to get back into digital. These are from 2011. I'm happy with them, but I could have painted much more in one year.

So the first one was a contest pieces, always good for motivation. I really loved doing it and how it turned out. I should draw these two again in different settings.

Speed paint, just some quick sketchy practice, and trying to get into random creature designs.

More sketchy practice. The goal was to do this once a week or day in the morning=fail+more fail.

Then I tried offering sketches of other peoples characters. It worked out for a little while. Can't remember who this guy belongs too, but he isn;t mine. He was awesome to draw though!

Another DA contest. Part digital, part traditional. It was ok.

And Spacerouge's awesome alien! Aiko always has awesome stuff.

Beginning of Digital kickstart

These are from 2012. By the end of the year, started getting out of my art slump.

First one was just random. I hadn't done any innovative creatures in a while. So time to get back into free flow idea painting.

Sad Koko for some vent art. It's that sadness that hurts but feels...comfortable at the same time. And I am forever forgetting to draw her horns..
Painting done to Johny Cash- Hurt : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIbepKZC7Po

This pretty much was my digital kickstart. I was going to sleep one night and as things went hazy, the sillohuet of one of my dragon plushies hanging from the cieling looked like an awesome creature. After sketching it out on paper some, I decided it would be the perfect subject to exercise my rusty digital skills.

Updating Arts - most current digitals

I'll be working backward to upload stuff. Most recent to last. Koi line arts. This was going to be a line-less painting of her with glowing bones...but I went a little far on making the lines pretty.I

Gift art for the ever awesome Shin-pants. She's always been super nice to me and I really enjoy her encouragement to my art.

And we has Flare! New portrait up her to update an old one I had.

Redo of an old art I did back in 04..I think. Character/creature belongs to Crystal-rex on DA.

And Fu mouth Koko. This is just one part of a larger picture I am working on.
