Lift Off

These characters went through some changes over the course of this work. I draw and color when I can which means that I may draw a piece - come back to it and have to get back in the groove. This piece is a prime example. I did the original ink pretty quickly but really didn't think about coloring it so I made some problems for myself. Thankfully a bit of redraw and Photoshop color and I got it back in line with my original vision. The original b&w is included with this post so you can see the changes. That includes me dropping the incoming enemy because I decided the picture didn't need them. Unseen threat adds to the viewer's imagination.

Warming some walls

I had the delight to be contacted by the Chickasaw Nation asking for prints of these pieces. They will appear in the new Behavioral Health center. I hope they bring a smile to the clients going there. New Art is coming soon.

It's a process

So this is currently in production, the main character Fallen Star gathered with his allies preparing to defend against an attack. I share this to show you my process. And I'll post the final when I finish. The art is ink on art paper which I scanned and then started color and effects in Photoshop.
