Old Red Hat

2009-05-12T10:34:00.000-07:00

This was just a picture for the Avalanche Art Blog, for one of their old challenges. Watching Lost is something to do on a Wednesday while you're drawing, and it has actually gotten better since a few seasons ago when it wasn't that great. Unfortunately, my favorite character Sawyer hasn't been up to form lately. He used to be the most delightful jerk, but lately he's been a big softy. I guess characters change over the course of time and that's something viewers have to deal with.

Udon Reject

It's amazing how much you can hate a piece of art that you were so excited about only a week ago. That's the case with this image right here. It will forever stand as a reminder of my rejection and the long hours I spent to earn it. But the bright side is that since it didn't win the contest and make it into the art book, you get to see it for free.

Several of my friends at work who also entered the contest pooled our artwork together to look at it before the winners were announced. Two of them actually won, but the one I thought was the best didn't make it in either. It shouldn't make me feel better... but knowing that art THAT good is sitting on the cutting room floor next to mine makes me feel like there could be any number of good pictures the judges couldn't include. That will help dull the sting until I buy the book and see what kinds of art the judges deemed better than mine and Adam's.

Pyro

The Pyro is my favorite class in Team Fortress 2. Out of all of them he has my favorite design, plus he's my favorite one to use. There's nothing more fun that burning a spy who thinks he's in the clear... especially if he's sporting your name.

Wilford Brimley should be commended for his efforts to bring convenient diabeetus testing supplies to the masses. I colored this, but it came from lineart of a highland warrior created by Joe Olson, which I edited. You can find the original here.

Heavy Weapons Guy

I'd like to be as clever and talented as the people who made Team Fortress 2. Thanks to Joe Olson for a little help and advice.

This is a digital painting I did a bunch of months back for a class in college. It was a Painter class, and I took the opportunity to paint my two favorite lovable trailer trash. I've really enjoyed the show My Name is Earl and I think it has some of the best characters on TV. It also helps me to be able to forgive Jason Lee for doing things like Underdog and The Chipmunks.

If we didn't have a writer's strike going on right now, I'd be getting more of this hilarious white-trash goodness.

The Witches

This was a picture done for practice at work. We were given a witch theme, and I've always thought Anjelica Huston was a pretty good witch.

My cousin and her bird

2007-08-31T23:12:00.001-07:00

Before I moved into my apartment, my aunt and uncle let me stay with them. I had a lot of fun being around my little cousins, who were excited to show me their bird.

I like the way the bird turned out in this picture, but I don't like what I did with her feet. Oh well. I guess I'll try something different next time.

Star Wars alien

A stupid Star Wars character. Do you remember seeing him in the Cantina? He was the guy who sneezed and was thrown out of the place.

First blog post

Obligatory stuff about blog, why I started it, soon-to-be-broken promises, etc.
