@gimmehummus You know, I hadn't even considered it, or knew something like that existed. Pretty cool idea, though. I'll have to think more about it.
-
@Rich-Green Yes, so surprising. I just recently happened upon SVS after searching for videos on YouTube regarding illustration, started watching Will Terry's stuff, came here, and was amazed to see somewhere near the Illini Valley referenced in maybe the third post I read. I grew up in Marseilles, but have lived lots of different places in IL. Charleston, Champaign, Chicago, DeKalb, Aurora. Haha. I've never lived in Joliet, but close

@gimmehummus This empress is actually really cute. I love the colors. She is opulent, yet tribal all the same. The style is very appealing. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to develop it more with future illustrations.
-
Thank you @Pixby. I really love pastels so I think I'll keep working with it.
-
Merry Christmas!

I'd like to do a little drawing every day. Piper Thibodeau does a daily paint on twitter so I thought I'd give it a shot.
-
That is really cute! Love the texture in it too...
-
The job search has me feeling like...
-
Hang in there. Become good enough at something, and someone will pay you to do it. Simple equation, but oh so true.

Been working on character sketches for a book I'm illustrating. It's a poem about fairies sending one of their own to live with a human family. The human father is a doctor.
-
Great work!
I think this one is my favorite for now!
-
@gimmehummus Absolutely brilliant stuff you have posted here. The texture gives each illustration a more traditional feel, a bit different than most of the other illustrations I've seen on your portfolio website. I personally prefer the style of ones posted here.
-
Thank you @TamaraDomuzin . I have been working only in digital pastels lately, trying to build that style. I'm working on a book right now so I'll be able to refresh that portfolio in a couple weeks. I saw your page on Behance and it's so adorable! I love your characters

The fairies are so cute!

Lil Rey baby.

I saw an Egyptian scarab in an image search the other day and it made me want to draw one.
-
I've been having a lot of fun drawing Star Wars stuff lately.
A Shore Trooper was revealed in the Star Wars Celebration poster but he didn't look ready for a beach day.
Kylo Ren... I couldn't decide on the skinny or toddler sized version so I did both!
-
I ADORE you stuff, and love the texture of your paintings. I'm guessing that's a PS brush?
