Did I mention I like owls?

More owls. This time, I was messing around in Illustrator and brainstorming. I'm planning to create a line of stationery and/or buttons with a colorful animal theme. Look at his little feet. Isn't he a hoot?

Superhero of some sort

Quick paint job of an old sketch. I plan to get the May illustration done asap--hopefully before June starts. I see I need to practice drawing hands more.

A Year of New Friends



I know it's been awhile. My only excuse is a new full time job and life in general. I did the sketch for April looong ago but was only able to color it recently. I will have May up before the end of the month.

Ireland


Some Irish characters done in Flash. I have a few more sketched out already but I'm not sure when I'll get around to coloring them.

Chinese Dragon



I love dragons - especially Chinese dragons, which are generally much friendlier than their western counterparts. Last month while attending the Chinese New Year parade, I noticed the dragon teams were always led by someone in the front holding up an orb. After doing some research, I learned that dragons are commonly depicted in Chinese art chasing after a flaming pearl. This is said to have stemmed from an old belief that the dragon held, or chased, the sun. According to one source, "[the pearl] is thought to be a symbolic representation of the 'sacred pearl' of wisdom or yang energy."

Getting ready for GDC!

I'll be going to GDC 2013 this year.  Apparently this is a huge event, so thankfully I'll be going with a friend who's been there before.  I'm super stoked to meet other artists and game developers from all over the country.
In other news: Ever since the San Fran Chinese New Year Parade, I've been drawing exclusively things related to China. There'll be more to follow. :)
