Doing a lot of Photoshop work

Death of Jarrek. Colored. Like the sketch better.

Scott, Jake and Nate

Patrick, in Calc class. Colored sketch.

Random Naked Butt Dude. The first time I did a decent background in a while.

Bajira, running. Did this in the TLKFAA Sketcher, a quickie.

Working on muscles, veins and scars. A bit of an exaggeration of Zylo, with some weird Russian dude face.

Who better to practice muscles and veins on than the Hulk? Messed up the face though.

I LOVE what they did to the Joker in The Dark Knight. Great concept. I think DC will pick up on this... you know, kind of like they adopted Harly Quinn from Bruce Timm's animated series...

Cover for the school newspaper. Kinda sucks, not gonna lie, I only had two hours to work on it, didn't get to do half the stuff I had planned. (I was so rushed I used a freakin LEAF BRUSH on the tree, how LAME is that?) Deadlines, dealines. Did this all on the computer.

Decent editorial. Art's not spectacular, but whatever.

November editorial cartoon for my school newspaper, Panorama. If only there was a cure...

Ah. This October cartoon caused me a lot of trouble at my school. Before distribution word leaked out that there was a offensive/homophobic cartoon in the next issue of Panorama and before you know it, the rumor had spread like wildfire through school and Facebook, churning up protests and all sorts of mayhem. And worst of all: no one had actually seen the cartoon, except my fellow editors who did not find it slanderous in any way. In fact, the people that found the cartoon offensive had not seen it, and the people that had seen the cartoon did not find it offensive. Nevertheless, I experienced a nightmarish few days of rumor and protest until the Panorama was finally distributed. Once people flipped through the pages and saw the cartoon for themselves, they exclaimed, "This? This is supposed to be offensive?" You would think gay rights activists would know better than to judge before they actually looked into the facts.

Felix. I don't remember when I did this. It must have been a while ago.

The spirit of Mufasa. A bit of fun for the TLKFAA Archive-wide contest. The challenge was a demonstration of water techniques using canon Lion King members.

Harry Potter art for, you guessed it, Panorama. It was a sort of last-minute watercolor used to fill up some space on a page, nothing spectacular as I am not a pro at watercolors.

A birthday present for one of my fav teachers. Old school Cap. There are so many things wrong with this picture.

Here are the only two remotely decent pieces I've done in the past few months. The only things that could possibly fringe upon the definintion of "art."

I created the tiger piece for a friend's birthday, and yes, I did actually paint the tiger. 100% tablet and Photoshop Elements, and the same goes for the next piece, which I did the day my friend Adrian died. He had mailed me a letter a few weeks prior to his drowning, the letter that appears in the painting.
