I'm back on the blog. I got married, purchased a home-place, thereafter moved, started a garden and found some time to make art.

A few sketches and studies of various things imaginary and real on my new tool (more on the newness in a future post).

Cloud study - used photo ref. I'm pretty pleased with the result and look forwards to doing future cloud studies.

Assortment of trees and grasses.

First sketch since getting hitched!

Alien bust sketched in alchemy.

One Lone Tree

Two Fall Trees

Three Turning Trees

Howdy everyone,
I took a breather from the "untitled project." Here are some pieces inspired by my recently, yesterday, acquired new read: Steampainting: Spark!
A lot of great works and good insight by some inspirational artist (can't go wrong there)!

Enough with words on with pixels:

following concepts were born from 3CH (an inspiration generator found here: http://www.steambotstudios.com/V2/3ch.php)

(text below frame is quote generated by 3CH)

(a translucent vehicle pummels a detective in the rain)

(a demonic dragon crashes to pieces a sportsman on mars)

(an ethereal virus runs toward an assassin in the desert)

Want more pixels!? Here are some process sequences with layers toggled on/off to get a feel for how each piece evolved and was brought to life :

Thanks for stopping by this little place on the internets!
