New character/creature


Well...the camera decided to die today so no new sketches.

I do have a new concept character/creature/thing in the works:

Behold a "right" Hand of God!!!  A Powerful dimensional Entity who is capable of creating universes, bending time and space, and tearing asunder reality itself.  There are two types of these mysterious creatures: Alpha and Omega.  Impossibility and Probability.  Logic and Insanity. Both existed since the beginning of time, drawing each other  into existence, like this:

M. C. Escher's "Drawing Hands" from Wikipedia
Its design is inspired by Avatar's Thanator and from Inception's soundtrack "Time", "Dream Is Collapsing, and  "Mombasa".

Good News and Sips N' Strokes

Hello readers, I have some good news!  I was recently accepted into the Marietta Artist's Market this Saturday, second time this year.  So if you're in or around the Marietta, Georgia area on the 13th this Saturday...look for me.

In other news, my mom introduced me to a interesting art class/get-together called Sips n Strokes.  According to their website, these classes allow artists and non-artists to create paintings they can take home.  It was founded in Alabama by Wendy LoVoy and her classes are offered in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee.  My mom got to go to a class with her friend and they had fun creating their own artworks.  I might show a picture of her work tomorrow, it looks good.

And now sketches:

I'm brewing ideas for a story here...something about owls and angels... (yeah I know barn owls don't actually have those eyes.)

Some fairy creature with dreadlocks.

Note says: Nuptial-- pan-dimensional owls and things occasionally pass by New Heaven, Nuptial is one of them.  She stayed in Heaven to watch over the creation of the First (prototype) Degogions and became guardian over Lucifer's Power.

Recently redesigned Harrvarin creature (left).  Do you remember Segieran (very bottom of the post), he's the same species as this guy, Secirragos.  Let me explain the note a bit: Secirragos  has three breeds: Original, Outbreeds, and Inbreds.  The Original is characterized by their long hair and whiskers, short forelegs and long hind legs.   Their numbers were greatly reduced by captivity and hunting and were almost driven to extinction during the 14th  century (Earth Time).  The surviving breeds were results of years of inbreeding within a small population.  Inbreds were plentiful but they became wild and steral.  They also suffered from a disease that is slowly killing them off.  Outbreeds (right) are the only ones with out the disease and their presence may mean that the species might survive.

Some Old Pen Art

Here's some of my old pen art I did back in 2005.  These were totally unplanned (except on the second and fourth pictures, those started with a sketch) and were done in ballpoint pen. (sorry for the giant watermark!):

This was a bookmark...

It took forever to shade these.

And this too.

Old rabbit species, Harrvarin.

Another Harrvarin rabbit.

Some Stuff I found on the internetz

Hey, sorry if I dropped off the face of the earth!  Anyway, I'm back and I found some pretty interesting things on the internet:

So...You're a Cartoonist? by Andrew Dobson (2025 update: yeah no) and I am ARG! by Andrew Richard Gregoire are autobiographical webcomics based on these artists' artistic and sometimes very weird lives.

MS Paint Adventures by Andrew Hussie is a site dedicated to his comic/rpg/animated/ interactive story games. He has about four stories on the site, of them PROBLEM SLEUTH  (complete) and HOMESTRUCK are the longest.  Don't let the art style fool you, these stories are funny and rather enjoyable.  He also have a downloadable soundtrack to HOMESTRUCK created with help from his fans. 


I made fan-troll based on his troll characters in the comic:


G1v3 M3-Za all 0f y0ur-Za 1n-valuabl3s-Za.

And lastly Soulless by Kaarina Makowski and its a very interesting sci-fi webcomic about...well go see for yourself.
