Hey Mega Man Fans!
I hope you dig this piece! This one's for you! I had a really fun time working on this piece and I'm glad I got it done this weekend! It kinda left him hanging for a while
I'm happy with the way the colors turned out and I think the prints are going to turn out great! I will have this one available for everyone coming to Wondercon! It will be uploaded to my Etsy soon.
This piece was done entirely in digital format using CS5. I'm going to try and venture outside the Marvel & DC realm for a while. Any suggestions for new characters?? Let me know, thanks for stopping by!

SMOG-douken!!!



Hey guys!


Sorry didn't post the sketch of this one I was kinda in a rush so I did the whole piece in one night! Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night but its done! My series of "Not so Street Fighters" is semi-complete!


This Ryu piece was done completely in digital format. It was pretty straight forward and I didn't run into any issues.


I hope you guys dig it! The plan is to do a rendering for each of the original 8 characters. But for this Street Fighter show I'll only feature four.


Prints will be available on my Etsy account in Mid-March so check it out of you get a chance! Thanks for stopping by

Spinning Star Trip!!!


Hey guys!
I have another update! I just finished my Chun Li piece for next months Street Fighter art show! I was going to post the sketch that I did yesterday but I moved so quickly on this one I was able to just finish off the rendering today!
As most of you are already familiar this is my line of pre-school street fighters that are just learning to hone their skills as fighters. I haven't decided on the name but was thinking: "Spinning-Star-Trip!"...but i'm totally up for suggestions if you'd like to contribute haha
Anyway I hope you guys like it and stop by to see the next one when I post it! I'm going to try and sketch it out during my lunch break tomorrow. I have an idea for the title which might be a spoiler alert for all you Street Fighter geeks: "Smogdouken!" Thanks for checking me out!

Street Fighter Art Show: Update



Hey guys!



I just finished my Guile piece for a Street Fighter Art Show I wads invited to. I don't have the specifics on hand but I know that the show is on March 1st. I'll post an update when I get more details!



The idea is that these are pre-school street fighters just learning to harness their skills. As you can see Guile is having a hard time harnessing his Sonic Boom! I'm calling this piece "Sonic Boomerang" and the idea is I will have three characters fully rendered for this show. I wanted to bring some humor into my pieces so I'm going to make the characters hurt themselves haha :)



I have a handful of characters that I would love to do but with the time constraints I'll only be able to handle doing three of them. Anyway I think I'm picking a solid three characters, stay tuned for more updates! Thanks for checking it out

Street Fighter Art Show!




Hey guys, Here's a sneak peak at a new series I am putting together for an artshow in March! The rendering is really rough so I do need about another hour to finish off the colors and background. Anyway, the series is going to consist of a handful of popular Street Fighter characters formated to a 5x7" print. I will be mounting them in a larger frame when all the pieces are done! The individual characters will be available for sale as prints on my Etsy account online. I should have them all done within the next couple of weeks! Stay tuned this should be a fun project to work on! :) Thanks for stopping in! There will be more to come!

AFI.. means Always Fishy Inside: Progress



Hey guys, Here's another update on my punk rock fish character! I was able to spend another 30 min on rendering. I think if I put in another hour I should be able to wrap this one up! So many things going on at once its hard to chip away! Don't worry I'll be uploading finished pieces soon! :) Thanks for stopping by

Pew Pew Pew!!! Megaman-Steeze!


HEY GUYS!
Sorry its been a while since I've uploaded anything! I've been burnt out recently. I haven't had much time to myself to work on my own projects. Oh well, super bowl is done and the football season is over! That will probably free up some time. Anyway, here's a sneak peak at my new piece! Yup, MEGAMAN haha ! He was definitely on my list for a while and I wanted to get more fan art ready for Wondercon in March. So your dreams are going to come true you Capcom fanatics!
This piece will be done completely in digital format. Stay tuned I'll start tightening it up this week! Thanks again for stopping by
