Small post

So I had a loss yesterday. My beautiful dog of 6 years passed on. He was very sick. We loved him and know that he is in a better place. This drawing is not related but I felt a need to post to keep my mind occupied.

Today's post...

I am trying out new styles and character design. In doing this I sometimes emulate existing artists that I admire. I really enjoy Bret Bean. His art style is clean and very unique. I love his line and use of color as well as his ability to tell a story with the most simple of expressions. This is my shot at Bret's style:)

Got inspired by Frozen:)

Frozen was a great movie. I was looking around the web yesterday and landed on a blog with tons of concept art and Frozen was in there. Great story and music to boot! This is my Elsa.

Late day quickie!

I am in my studio tonight and I might not have the time for another post so this is a quickie:))) As always...done in my favorite program...Manga studio pro.

Process...

So here is another illustration spot. I am connecting art for a St. Patrick's day piece and decided to show some process again. I do not always work like this however, it does give me quite a bit of control. I will post the final when complete!

So here is the fruit of about 35 combined hours of painting. I was contracted by Florida Hospital to create original mural illustration for two of their newest Centra care locations(one in Orlando and the other in Brandon Florida). I was asked to have Jesus in a boat with fish underneath. The fish should have bandages or band aids to help the children feel more comfortable. I have included pictures from both murals with the one with two walls being the Orlando location. Square footage for the Orlando was about 200 and the Brandon location was about 120sq ft. I also included some process. I free hand sketch the entire mural no projection. I then proceed to block in the color and finally detail with the airbrush. I use acrylic paint for durability. The Orlando piece took 26 hrs and the Brandon too 21hrs. I really enjoy doing murals. It has always been a passion of mine and this opportunity was huge:))) I look forward to 2014 and the opportunities yet to be discovered. I am always available for mural work. Enjoy!
