A Busty Argent

Title says it all

Akiko

The guy who commissioned this apparently adores this character. I hadn't heard of her until I go the commish. Was fun to make.

Jahsui

Once again, I'm not sure if I got the character's environment right, but all in all I think this is one of my favorites.

Isane

Isane from Bleach. Really wanted to highlight her height through angle and the door rim.

Zita Daggers

An OC named Zita Daggers. I went sort of... Gypsie with her design, since that was the first impression I got from the references. I wanted to render a really complex bazaar scene, but simply didn't have the time. I may revisit this if I ever intend to put it in my portfolio.

Death

Based on that one comic by that Neil Gaiman guy. You know the one... dustman. Anyway, yeah, I've actually never read Sandman, but I've seen PLENTY of Death artwork. When commissioned to do this, I just went with the general visual and emotion that I got from the character.

This is one of my favorites because it's so simple and yet so effective. I love it when I don't have to spend hours rending something for the viewer to get it. THe worst thing to make in this entire piece was that tree.

Tomorrow Woman

I hadn't ever heard of this lady before. Background is a little static for my taste.

Sae

I'm not sure if this fits in with what the commissioner's OC does BUT he asked for glowing eyes and an awesome pose. So I just went with a pose that said "I'M FUCKING AWESOME!" and things sort of spiraled.

Personally, I like the way the lighting worked out and how the color of the lights affected the girl. That is something I need to work on.

Tali's Swimsuit

So this commission was for Tali in a swimsuit. The problem is, I couldn't think of how a quarrian could wear a swimsuit. SO I came up with this, a transparent encounter suit. Right now we don't know the quarrian skin color, so I just went with purple. Once the skin color is revealed, I will alter the color.

I have no idea what's going on underneath Tali's hood, so I came up with an idea of wires that serve an aesthetic function and a practical function. Not only do those wires give the impression of hair, they filter the air. At least, that's my logic. I'm sure it's explained in detail in a videogame novel that I have no intention of reading.

Rogue Takes the Gloves Off

A summer commission that was kind of non specific. Basically he wanted a picture of rogue that didn't have her wearing her typical costume getting ready for a fight. So I thought of the typical comic book cliche scenario where a thug steals some old ladies purse and Rogue uses her mutant power to stop him.

I'm experimenting with action poses, LOD, and perspective in this one. The pose will likely receive some criticism because arm chair art crtics won't hesitate to bray on what they think is an impossible pose. Meanwhile they use shit like Poser to determine how the human body works.

Harpy Lady

I made this in a fit of rage because it seemed as though the person who commissioned it didn't trust me to make their commission. Maybe it was a misperception on my part, but I'm getting to the point where my philosophy is "I have a gallery on DA of Hundreds of pieces, if you don't know what to expect and won't trust me to be me, then why commission me?"

All that being said. I LOVE the way this turned out.

Raven Beartrap

I've decided with these 10 dollar commissions to take a more illustrative approach and a more individual approach. My goal is to avoid single color backgrounds and floating characters. What I draw has to inhabit a space. This was my first attempt, and I LOVE the way it turned out.

Summer 2011 10 Dollar Commissions Week 2

With these, I attempted using a new way of doing things that involved using a single layer and the lasso tool. It's FAR faster than my old way of doing this kind of thing.

Summer 2011 10 Dollar Commissions Week 1

These were my first 10 Dollar commissions of the Summer. I use summer commissions to maintain my skill, try new things, fight off boredom, and make some money. I feel like I fucked up on each one, but the people who commissioned them seem to like them.

Very Patient Commissioners

This is supposed to be a cross-over of Girl Genius and Stargate.

A linke to the story http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=164834

Challenging to say the least because not only am I intrepreting Sam Carter in to my style, but I'm also intrepeting another artists style.

I attempted to make her appropriately... meaty... as she is in the comic, but using my aesthetic. The toughest part was the hair. The flowing blond hair is actually the best way to tell who the character is. The problem is that this is supposed to be a space suit and I've never seen hair coming out of any of the space suits at NASA.

commission

Basically he wanted a Bedroom scene "just after the fun."

I debated with myself over censoring the nudity. Then I decided that if they can depict a sex scene with Morrigan in DA:O then a nipple is no big deal.

This is an OLD OOLD OOOOOOOOLD commission. To be honest I can't rightly remember if the person wanted a cartoony commission or not. However, I had an idea about how to do the doctor in this style so I gave it a shot.


PS I don't care who I piss off but Matt Smith > David Tennant.

There. I said it!

3D Print Statues

I tried to flirt with custom models. The problem is cost. A model costs somewhere around 150.00. No one wants to pay 150.00. I'm the artist and I don't want to pay 150.00.

Here is my cactus girl model printed out. Followed by some Toph models which I never got to print.

If you want one of these, and have the cash for the print let me know.

Bringing everyone up to date Part 6

This is how I work. It is supremely inefficient.

This was a commission. A cracked pairing if you ask me.

I still flirt occasionally with 3d programs like lightwave and maya, but I just can't get in to them. Modeling is so so SOOOOOOO boring.

Eyes of Noctum was a band that my friend was a part of. I tried to make some good posters for him for an illustration assignment. The first one sucked.

The second one was better.

Bringing everyone up to date Part 5

This is an X-23 Ortho that I did. I need more practice with orthos for modelers. I chose X-23 because, to be honest, despite being a great character I don't much like the way she's drawn, even by the professionals. So this was my attempt to come up with something I like. I don't much like her front face, the shape is generally wrong, but the profile along with the rest of her body I'm ok with.

I love the likeness.

Dalek Poster tribute.

All of these I did around mid-terms and finals.

Bringing everyone up to date Part 4

I tried doing 5 dollar sketch commissions, but they sucked so hard that I stopped.

Bringing everyone up to date Part 3

This is all school work. I fucking hate my school work stuff. I'm fairly convinced that many of my classmates think I'm a crappy artist. I don't know why, but when it comes to school assignments I just fail. Anything else I'm fairly confident, but if it's an assignment from a teacher I fail.
