A Little Banner




A quick banner I made for one of my campaign websites over on the awesome Obsidian Portal. Sketched the figure and shadowy skyline in a few minutes on my tablet and just messed with the colors for a few more minutes. Total of 15-20 minutes work, but I like it.

A Fast Sketch

I drew this picture over the course of about half an hour spread out across my day as I could snatch moments while my computer was otherwise engaged.



This picture could be considered a bribe. I drew it to keep one of the players thinking about a Shadowrun game I'm running - he generated a character for it with everyone else but hasn't been around since the first session. Hopefully, this will help keep his mind on it.

A little commercial-looking work



This is a little something I put together for my wife's blog. She's been asking for a logo for a little while, and she wanted 3 infinity symbols arranged in a triangle. Well, I made 8 designs and went through them with her until she settled on one, then added the text... and here we are. Turns out I can design logos and stuff. Who knew?

DVD Labels...

... for my demo reel and for a video I produced for MNF-I during my deployment. The video was cleared for release, but it never went to congress as intended due to the transition of command from Gen. Casey to Gen. Petraeus.





Hopefully, more presentable copies will inspire more interest, and I'll reap more benefit from my time away from home and family.

A Dramatic Entrance

Ioda makes a surprise entrance through the window.


Well, I return to the whole art-blog thing just in time to meet my monthly Sharply Dressed Heroines obligation. In case you were wondering, she's a Satyr crashing through a window.

"Why would you draw that?" you ask. Good question. The inspiration for this particular image comes from some good old-fashioned table-top roleplaying action. Shadowrun was the game, and one of the Player Characters was a Satyr (a variant of Ork in that game) looking for a surprise entrance to the a gun-runner's hideout.

Promises Kept

So, last month I posted my first Sharply Dressed Heroine. I promised to make it a monthly feature. So, here, before the end of June, I keep that promise. I hope you enjoy it.



This is a quick scan. The original drawing was done in pencil, then gone over in pen and marker for a nice, crisp look. Perhaps I'll take it into Illustrator later or make a background in Photoshop. I may even colorize it if the fancy strikes me (or if anyone is interested).

I've got a couple of more fully-rendered pencil drawings I'm trying to finish up this week that'll hopefully make for a couple of nice posts later this week or weekend, too. One of them I started a long time ago, and the other more recently, but I've been itching to finish them.
