I hope all my fellow American followers had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, and that my international followers had a lovely weekend!
It's Monday, folks, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for another State of the Artist update!
Weekly Words
Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.

Current Project
Current commission work: (clicking on the thumbnails will take you to the larger version!)
I was commissioned to complete a set of character sheets for an RPG character, and these are the roughs. For those of you who don't know, character sheets are mockups of a character's appearance with relevant color information and data for developers to use to keep a character consistent. They're predominantly used in the video game industry.
These two pages are the roughs for a character named Kavanaugh: front and back, in skivvies and in his normal daily dress. Right now, it's just the pencils, but when done, they'll be inked and filled with color (digital) along with HEX code color "splotches" for continuity and any pertinent character profile data.
I really hope to have these two pieces, along with the character cover sheet done before it's time to take the family holiday trip! *keeping fingers crossed*

Kitsune Dawn
August 2005
Mixed media: alcohol pigments and ink
Kitsune Dawn is the companion to last week's Geisha Moon and a continuation of the Japanese aesthetic and theme. I decided I wanted to keep a common thread running through these two pieces, regardless of the foreground images and colors, and that was the iconic Mt. Fuji in the background.
Original (A4, ink & alcohol pigments): $150
Prints (8x10" giclee): $12
*Please note me if interested!*
Near Future
I'm happy to say that the Holiday Card artwork has been sent to the printers and now it's just a matter of getting them back before I head out of town for the annual family holiday shenanigans!
Thank you to all the generous people who donated for the cost of production and postage, it is much appreciated! I'll be contacting you over the course of the week to send you a little special something for your generosity!
So, folks, that's all for this week's State Of The Artist update, I do hope you've enjoyed this week's offerings! As always, feel free to comment on this, or any other, post!
