ow, its been a while since I've updated! I thought I'd post this bit of awesome.
SOE Fan Faire is going on in Las Vegas right now and a fan was spotted wearing a Bixie Queen costume! I also posted the Bixie Queen character concept I did for the game (...need to paint). Pretty cool that someone liked it enough to put in their valuable time to make a full-fledged costume! The costume came out quite nicely IMHO! :D


The game that I have been working on for the past three years has finally opened to the public! Head on over to the FreeRealms site to check it out. Once I get approval, I'll post the work I've done so far for the game on my main site...which needs an overhaul. Ugh.
Did I mention, its free to farkin' play?!? What more can you ask for hehehe
Oh and my in-game avatar's name is Egg Shen. Come find me and add me to your friend list :)

Watching the Houston Rockets play against the Portland Trailblazers. I dont't necessarily care who wins as long they beat each other up a little bit. Actually, I think the Lakers match up better with the Rockets, so okay, maybe I'll root for the Rockets.
I did this quick sketch while watching the game. Ahhhh....can't believe its time for the playoffs again.

This was my entry for the week over at Art Jumble. This week's topic was "Love". Head on over there to see the full version.

Should you ever run into Alex Trebek of Jeopardy fame and he starts hasslin' you about who is the record holder for the tallest man, you can step to him with confidence and say "That would be Robert Wadlow, Trebek." In yo face, Alex!
This was a piece I did for Illustration Friday and the topic was "Talisman". To me it sounded like "tallest man" so I crowbarred Sir Wadlow in there. If you're wondering what that is around his neck well that happens to be.....tadaaa! A TALISMAN!
My brilliance rocks your socks.

This one took 15 minutes. That was a good bit of advice I got today. I'm enjoying these a lot more now that I'm not concerning myself too much with details which I have a tendency to do and I think these studies have more energy in them.

On a friend's advice, I'm trying to get even faster with these studies. This was a 12 minute color study of an outcropping of rock facing the sunset.


Here are two canyon color studies I just finished. I think I'll try some urban type stuff next...or figures....GAAAH! I wish we didn't have to sleep if we didn't want to. Both of these were done in Art Rage although I took the top one into Photoshop and added a bit of atmosphere using the airbrush. The free version of AR doesn't have the airbrush tool activated. I guess I'll have to buy the full version one of these days which I don't really mind since it only runs twenty-five bucks.

Just a couple of quick sketches to break up the day. The dude on the left looks like he was taking a survey.

I decided to throw some color on the video guy sketch.

Here is a quick lunchtime sketch. SOE sprung for lunch and I was able to stay in and crank this out and catch up on my Colbert watching. Pizza anyone?

Managed to squeeze one in before I crashed out. I'm off to catch some zees. Zzzzzzz...

I managed to get in and out of this one pretty quickly. Gonna see if I can slob out another one...
