Lost Unicorn

Random picture. An homage to innocence.

Pa

He's a character (albeit not the main one) of a story I'm working on, the same story with the creature that I posted last week. I like how he worked out. A bit of a different style than what I posted, but I really wanted to capture his character. I like the sketch plus paint feel of this one

Duenda

The first really good illustration I've done in a while. This is a Duenda. What's a Duenda? The word "Duenda" is stolen from the Spanish "Duende" which means imp or something like that. Dunedas are like the old "little people" or "fairies" who were more prone to play tricks on people than grant wishes. The kind that stole babies and such. The kind that people put milk out for, so they'd be appeased.

Duendas are part of a story that I'm working on right now. Unfortunately, the story itself is unlikely to turn into a children's book.

Monster Love--Color Sketch

Color sketch. I'm going to be trying to update this blog more frequently, but that means that the artwork that's here is going to be a little less finished. This definitely could use some clean up work. I like the idea though. :D

I claim this world

I will be painting this one up, but I like the liveliness of the sketch so much, that I thought it would be a shame if people didn't see it. And yes, I know who the spaceman looks like . . .

The Elephants of Jupiter

I ran into an old funny journal of mine entitled "the Elephants of Jupiter" but all it said was "I wonder what they'd look like" And then something like this popped into my head

Pack(ag)ed

This week's theme for Illustration Friday is "Packed." I'm not sure if "Packaged" exactly fits the bill, but I hope it comes close enough.

Yes, the second image is the first with a different texture and layer blend mode over the top. I love layer blend modes and textures.
