This commission was for Leandro. He asked for his character as a toddler. He is a Manticore Pirate King. The Manticore part was easy, but the Pirate King aspect was a bit harder. I had originally suggested a sword, probably a wooden one, but he was not really into the suggestion (given we are talking about a toddler). I thought about a tricorn hat, but that would obscure his horns. So instead I went with a onesie and plenty of gold to convey his successful pirate life!

This piece was done with Copic markers on Strathmore Bristol 500 vellum paper.

So, ever now and then, someone comes up to you and and says “If you only had X I would buy it!” Well, when your favorite drinking lion comes up and says it, how can you resist?

So, inspired, I whipped this up, and I think it turned out pretty good. It was decided he would look best as a badge, so a badge he became. He will likely inspire a bit more complicated piece down the road.

So everyone say hello to the rather dapper Eonadari after a long night of keeping the dance going!

First! (Had to do it)

I was really honored by this commission! Leon’s parents wanted someone to make him his very first art badge for his very first convention. Considering he is only 9 months old, I imagine his collection over the years will be impressive, but I hope this badge will have a special place in his heart.

His fursona is a white tiger/ fox hybrid. His mane hasn’t grown in at this point, but there are hints of things to come in this piece. The pose is from an adorable picture provided by his parents. Hopefully someday down the line I can do another for him.

The final badge is done in Copic markers on Strathmore Bristol 500 vellum. The background takes a special technique I picked up from a Copic class I took a while ago. I will have to go into it a bit more in a different post someday.

Commission at IFC2015 #art

i love the suit spike. The toon has much energy and feels that I had some issues getting it all into one badge.

This pic is not the best but it’s what I currently have available. Update: Added in the scan from my portable scanner:

Spike Badge Edit
Getting the green and black without losing the face into the arm was hard. I had to lift some color and make sure my light source was coming from the front so I could lighten the front of the face.

Ornament ornament on the wall. #art #xmascards

i’m prepping xmas cards for an event I’m hoping to do in November. This guy will hopefully say ornament ornament on the wall, will this be the best christmas of all? If you want unique xmas cards commission them with me. 

  
This piece is done with copic marker, liner, and paint. It was a challenge to keep things from bleeding over the lines. The red was specially difficult. The ribbon was done with a special technique. I use the blender pen to delude the color and lay down a light coat of pink and use the full strength of the color for the shadow.
