Dryad Queen

Dryad Queen Character Design Final
This was a digital painting done for one of my favorite art streamers Stumpyfongo. He used to stream a lot in the midst of COVID, and I hung out there quite a bit while trying to do other stuff in the background. This specific drawing was done as part of a Lost Woods challenge, where participants had to draw characters they would find in a deep fantasy forest. I loved it!

Terra Branford and Magitek Armored Vehicle - Final Fantasy 6 Fanart

Terra Branford Magitek- Final Fantasy 6
The design of this character, the art, and the story, is simply incredible and one of the most iconic video games ever. Simple perfection! It seems so crazy to me that years later nobody has really reproduced something similar in the video game world.

I made this drawing in 2021 entirely in Clip Studio Paint. Final Fantasy 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Such a classic...

Ashley Graham Portrait

Ashley Graham Portrait
Portrait from a photo of Ashley Graham, actress and model. She's pretty amazing.

This was done in 2021 entirely in Photoshop. I used to do a lot more of these practice portraits in the past but I've really been slacking over the years due to ... laziness?

This is a digital painitng done entirely in Photoshop sometime in 2021 as part of a Mermay challenge.
Friends Black and White Drawing
The actual drawing was done in black and white only, the colors were strictly done in overlays. This was an entirely new approach for me and the result worked very well. I actually didn't spend very long on this painting considering the level of detail that got painted in.
