Sorry for any of those that dropped by my website during the time that it was down! The site got hacked and unfortunately we had to try to piece the website back together again. Wouldn’t have been able to get it back up so fast without my husband.
Here soon the website is going to have a pretty big update with a more up to date gallery! Just gotta survive the last few weeks of my last major semester of school.
I’ve always had a rough time finding a digital style that I like to work with. I was incredibly lucky when I recently found out that water coloring is something that really works with me. However I still have a strong desire to get the hang of digitally coloring. I popped open Photoshop, started playing with some painting techniques, and almost immediately ended up going to a simple round hard brush and doing this. It’s simple, but it’s not entirely something I’ve tried before. Color is another thing I want to tackle. Using more color schemes that aren’t expected. I feel like I’ve clicked with something here, and it may be a part of something bigger.
This is my character Ophelia in her later years which is how she’s mostly represented in my story anyway.
Wow it has been a while! Everything has been moving at such a fast pace lately with school and the Sherlock series 2 inspiration splurge that it’s so hard to keep up! This semester is my last full line up of classes, and I should be graduating in the Winter. Oh-ho! Look out world, soon I will be free.
I’ve also been putting a lot of energy into the project I’ve organized, The BBC Sherlock Sketchbook Project. Thankfully the hard part of that is over and now I get to sit back, relax, and watch what everyone does for the project. It was tough work, but I couldn’t be more proud with the way it’s going. It’s incredible seeing the things people are making for it. The piece above is one of my three contributions to the project.
I’ll be having a table at Comicpalooza this year next to two of my good friends Toni Shelton and Aiji. I’ve never had an artist table surrounded by close friends, so I’m excited to have the company other than my lovely slave drivers that help me with my own table.
Happy New Year everyone! From Robert, me, and the birdie bird!
Hey look at that! I’ve put my gallery up to date and gave the page a new look. I hope you dig it. I have also made the shop link redirect to my Etsy shop.
The fall semester is almost over for me so get ready to see a sudden influx of new stuff!
I’m selling the 11″x17″ Batman & Robin watercolor on Etsy! Check it out!
Made this for the Tantalus Theater Review, a FFIX fan zine that Zac Gorman is putting together. More watercoloring! Look out!
I’ve been really digging watercolors lately, and I wanted to test out doing a portrait with them. Here’s a spontaneous portrait I did of Benedict Cumberbatch.
Also Austin Comic Con is only three weeks away! Scary stuff!
I really enjoy the British radio show Cabin Pressure. It brightened up my day the few weeks I enjoyed it during my commute. About a month ago I bought watercolor paper and appropriate brushes. I’ve never used them before, and I was really inspired by Ghostbees‘ work. I finally gave it a go! This one is rather simple for practice, but I hope to do more colorful and complicated work. One step at a time. I enjoy the medium though. It’s really satisfying.
Sorry I haven’t posted much. School has been keeping me pretty busy. Early mornings leave me fairly lethargic in the evenings, and there always seems to be something that needs to be done. But hey hopefully I’ll be done with school all together here shortly. Maybe even next semester!
Also I just got my sketchbook today for The Sketchbook Project! Let me know if you’re participating so I can keep an eye out for it when the tour goes around.
