Rhya and Pavlov
Sometimes, my fiance and I WoW together. These are our mains, gettin’ down with their funky selves.
I think I’m getting a closer handle on a consistent ‘WoW’ style, but this one is still a ranging shot. While I like it, particularly the poses, it’s too busy. I expected the shading to help direct the viewer’s [...]

Wedding Invitation
This was for my brother’s wedding invitations. My brother has for all of his adult life had very long hair, and well, 98.5% of your typical depictions of a groom just weren’t going to cut it.

Elegant Couple
Originally this was just a pretty drawing. Then one of my friends saw it, and exclaimed ‘Oh, that looks just like [me and my significant other]!’ As I’m a pretty firm believer in letting my art be what other people think it is instead of trying to keep a stranglehold on meaning, (plus it did [...]

Medical Guidelines
I think we’ve reached the point where I have to warn the diabetics in my audience: this week’s posts may require you to increase your insulin dosage. Please consider checking your blood sugar after reading your RSS feed.
Just a reminder- all this sweetness and light is a gentle suggestion from me to you. Commission me [...]

It’s Dancing, not Rocket Surgery
Confession Time: I was one of those teens who was afraid to dance.
I thought that everyone was watching me. And I didn’t know what to do, because weren’t there moves or steps or something? Also I don’t like this song, let’s wait for a good song.
But I did learn to dance. Mostly, I stopped caring [...]

Feeling…Romantic?
Trust me, I hate when people do this.
By ‘this’, I mean start celebrating an upcoming holiday three weeks before that holiday’s date. (I always wondered what fall/early winter holiday would get squeezed out in the merchandise wars… turns out that at my local mall, Thanksgiving didn’t happen this year. The decorations went straight from Halloween [...]

Tiny Dragon
In the past I’ve posted a few dragons here, both of the cute and more traditional varieties, but it’s been a while. It’s dragon time.
As you may have noticed, I often construct my inspiration out of pieces of geekery and intellectually stimulating fantasy, as in this old illustration. In this case I was flipping through [...]

Feathers?
This last Friday, some toys I’d ordered from the internet arrived.
To clarify, this post is safe for work.
I’m talking about chainmail toys. I’d been searching high and low find beads that were even somewhat similar to beads I’d used before, which are no longer carried by the store I purchased them from, and found toys [...]

Troll Dance
Just a couple of troll boys, playing around.
Okay, so trolls are hard. They have weird pointy faces, lanky proportions, and tusks. I meant to have the further troll have sort of a playful smile on, but there’s no way that’s happening with the tusks in the way. Also they have two fingers per hand, and [...]
