The Long Haul.

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while, since my last post. I've been hashing things out and taking care of some things as well as a few hiccups. I'm currently working on the sequel to Kyle Chrigwin's Children's book series My Big Tow: The Adventures of Captain Recovery. I've also been doing a lot of writing for  a few of my own projects.  Some projects have been put on hiatus due to either lack of man power or story re-writes. My apologies for the fans whom love the series. I will update you on those projects a bit later down the line.

Lately though I've been doing a lot of broadcasting through my Picarto.tv channel via live digital sketching. I do drawings for practice and even take a few requests from time to time. I've also started a Patreon to hopefully save up for a better Computer to create more detailed artwork for you all. I'll be sure to leave a links to the side if you'd like to support my artwork or watch my streams! The recorded streams when I do a multi-broadcast are put on my YouTube channel for your convince.

As time goes forward, I hope to create more art and have even more amazing experiences this year has in store for myself and my followers!

I will be posting more art updates as I produce more complete work. If you like to see rough sketches or mental meanderings please follow my Instagram or Tumblr for that kind of work.

Updates to my website are coming soon as well.

Thanks!

Still Alive...

Currently I am still preparing for the take off to school.
Not only am I placing a few things on hold, I am also trying to finish up the children's book project as fast as possible. The comic series may be a  while. But I am still making an effort to complete them.
Stay tuned for more news updates...

New Character Design.

The Tortoise and the Hare.. and Zbrush!

Alright. I had just received my critiques this week and they were all fair. For my advanced illustration class I had to do a fairytale. So I chose The Tortoise and the Hare.

As for my Zbrush class I learned a lot. understanding the tools. and dealing with certain issues that came with the program. I had fun doing this. I plan on making more during my off times. Despite the fact that my character's eyes were a bit bulging out of his head, I want to refine this craft a bit more. Enjoy!
