petit dieu de fume
the little god of smoke and smoking.
He takes your smoke as offerings feeds off that drunken cigarette you didnt mean to smoke, or that pack you promised yourself you wouldnt buy.
not malevolent per say he also feeds off ritual and pipe smoke
the celebratory cigar at a birth or celebration the quiet pipe by the lake your father smokes

sketch and digital 

more digital coloring practice, 
sketch from a few days ago

oranges and tropical ocean colors
summer summer summer.
 

an air spirit?
based on a sketch i did while i was in australia
a warm wind spirit maybe, like that hot summer wind you get sometimes in tropical countries maybe the one right before a storm

anyways, working on a new digital illustration style, sorta watercolor-esque

inks n digital

greenseer
after the last game of thrones book i’ve become so intrigued by the idea of greenseers, able to see through the eyes of trees, animals and even other people! I’m exited to see where they’re going to go with bran’s storyline next book

heres one of the children of the forest, or perhaps, with her long face, one of the first men an old greenseer from way back, centuries and centuries before brans time, one of his first ancestors maybe.
man, game of thrones when i should be working.
classic.

col-erase, digital colors 

well!
its been ages since i’ve uploaded eh? tsk tsk.
here’s one from drink and draw tonight,
a sort of sci-fi crystal environment study for my graphic novel project
very secret stuff (not really)
anyways, animation pencils, brushpen and white highlights

heres a new thing,
Im working on my concept design portfolio for a job i’m applying for,
so heres some environment roughs from drink and draw!
I’ll be posting more portfolio pieces and wips later this week

progress!
can you imagine? a real art job

whaaaaaa?

Fashion!
Some more gouache studies, this time just inking in some loose sketches of people on lookbook.nu (i took some liberties with the color palettes and character details the sketches are photo ref, but the gouache colors are after the fact and thusly entirely made up.

just seeing if i could get accurate color etc. also fun. 
my favorite ones are the two on the left (creepy dude and girl with the best skirt) ignore the man hands on the blonde please, i’m going to try to plead foreshortening but really its just bad drawing

Gouache! 
beloved the world over by illustrators and designers, I haven’t used this stuff since art school. I’m thinking of using it for covers and splash illustrations in my comic so i’ve been doing some quick illustrations to practice using it (its a bit of a finicky medium)
Over the next couple days i’ll be uploading some of them! 

She’s a dooooornish dancer..dancer for money
im on the last of the written books in the game of thrones series
and tyrion kinda wont shut up about where the whores are going
soooo
here’s one!
doornish, cause the women from that place are badass,
i figure she’s a sand snake and a dancer in a troupe of travelling dornish players and that she uses her sex-wiles to get revenge for her fathers death! (seems to be pretty much the agenda of every sand snake ever)
Goache and pencil and ink
