Came Across An Old Piece That I Never Finished.  It Had An All-out-epic Battle Going On, But I Think

It was to be a practice piece, for shiny scales, but it turned out nicer than I thought. Tis a melancholy dragon on a melancholy rock. There is a fish.

4th assignment for the zBrush class. Kudos to the oldies out there who know which 80s arcade game inspired this! Still lots of work/improvements to be done, but I had lots of fun making this one. I'm really loving zBrush... and there's still so much to learn. \( ° A °)/ For the next assignment, I think I'll just add more characters to the narrative, and slowly build on the story. Spoiler: Used to play this game called TwinBee in the arcades back in the late 80s, (6th grade?) and I remember​ always doodling them in class (specifically Ms. Javarta's science class). It was a really cool and simple game but with lots of personality. I liked that when your ship got damaged, he would lose his limbs. You'd then have to wait for a repair bot to give you new ones. Really great attention to detail and nuances that defined the better games back then. #twinbee #konami #zbrush

A continuation of a series that I originally started as oil paintings, that were in turn inspired by the book Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.  I’ve always loved doors, doorways, and the hallways in between, and that story had some special doors in it.  Aren’t books doors?

Portals, windows, and moongates that lead to places other than here are fascinating.  Even now when I go between two posts on the sidewalk, the ones holding up a sign, I imagine that I somehow crossover to a world different from where I once was, but still very similar. 

One of these days I’ll come across a paper airplane under those posts.

"Unsure Certainty" I have been working on this piece on and off between work, and I am both pleased and displeased with it.  I thought it may be better that I stop and see what happens when I let them be.  But certainly (or not), the title reflects my sentiment towards this piece.

Drawing drawing drawing.  Catching up on some drawing.  Recently been inspired by some games - namely The Last of Us, and my replaying of Guild Wars 2.  I don't usually draw from games, so I suppose that should be a testament to how much I loved those games.  Sadly there are no octopuseseseses (yet). 

The last piece was just me breaking away from all the costume shmostume, industry type art for a bit.  Just a bunch of peeps up to something.

Ta da! 

Doing some Orcy sketches. Everytime I drew what I thought was an angry, battle-ready orc, it looked like it was just doing karaoke. So... now we have Kara-Orc-E!

Looking at her, looking for something. #iNeedTintedGlassesMaybe #you'reNotGonnaFinishYourDrink? #notCreeping #blArt #nocrop made by @lyrebirdstudio

I noticed my nephew liked to pretend he was excavating fossils (crayons and coins) from my play-sand so I baked some clay bones for him to discover hee hee. It was surprisingly fun to do but I apologize to paleontologists everywhere for the... freedoms I took hehe. Also, I may or may not bury a unicorn fossil in our backyard. >_>

Edit: Uh-oh. I think he liked it too much. He actually thinks that, somehow, a real fossil made it into my room. hehe.

Pushing myself to draw more dragons (or drawing in general), so I'm gonna try to do a daily dose of dragons, dinos or droids this month. (I'm a bit behind already, I know)

Here is a tiny one with a caterpillar tail.

It's not that my room is dusty; it's just full of octopusesesesesessesss!
