Horned Lizard. 76/183.

'nother all digital one. I added the city cause I wanted to add some new billboards i made up but they were so small i had to make them real detailed....And didn't want to make the whole city the same level of detail. So yeah, billboards are below, but you can barely see them in the actually drawing.
Whatever.




W3rdup!

Header-rama!

Changed my header so I figured I would upload my old ones for all of y'all to see. Yerp. Chronological an shit.

Hoatzin. 75/183.

Return of the animals!



First all digital painting i've done for the animal project, and maybe the first ALL digital painting i've done period. The only traditional drawing for it I did was for the basic pencil sketch (BELOW) which is not part of the final image but was just used as a jumping off point. yerp.



POW!

Jelly Doughnut.

Getting ready for Halloweeny!

6"x9" acrylic painting on hardboard.
Just so everyone knows, painting is way easier than drawing.
SUCK IT.

Shit was SO Cash.

So I dont know if you've heard of the Johnny Cash Project, but it's a music video being put together where each frame of the video is redrawn by different people. Anyway check out the website for more info cause I don't care to reiterate what they've already said.

But yeah I contributed.

This was the frame.


And this was the drawing I did.



I was bored. W3rd.

Fall Risk.

Having finished that illustration, I spent an entire day playing around with text and calligraphy and stuff. Thus...this!

It took a couple of hours to get all of these letters to look right together, and still I am not completely satisfied. However, they are all custom and not copied from anywhere. So there.

Boston College class portrait.

So my brother graduated from college in May, and as a graduation gift for him and his roommates, one if his roommate's parents commissioned me to do a portrait of all of them. This is part of the reason my animal posts have been somewhat sporadic.

Honestly, it took me way longer than it should have, but doing portraits is not the easiest thing, let alone doing nine of them. It's also fairly big at 12"x 16". So yeah, it's done and I'm happy.

Hippopotamus. 74/183.

dat der is a hippo.

Hedgehog. 73b/183.

SO I finished the above linework on saturday. Had some things happen over the past couple days so I didn't get a chance to work on the color for it.

Therefore I decided to overcompensate and spend too much time on the photoshop work. There is definitely more work I could have done but not without investing WAY too much time.
Oh well. It's cuter than the first one at least. ENJOY!



Oh, almost forgot, this is inspired by the Hedgehog's dilemma (as evident by the title). Which, if you don't feel like reading the wikipedia (which you should), is the (fictitious) problem of hedgehogs trying to share heat by being near one another, but can only be so close because of their quills. You know what, it's a lot to describe and I can't do it very well, just read that shit.

Also, i colored alot of this while watching the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens". That show makes me LOL real hard.
