I got antsy to start blocking in color. I’ll finish sketching details a bit later.

Another of my DnD character commission sample pieces.

She was born into a family of fighters but loved pretty things. She tried to leave the violence behind but a girl’s gotta make a living.

I’ve been toying with the idea of D&D character commission for some time. Knocking around ideas, stylistic choices, logistics, etc. thought I’d share a quick test piece. It’s only one piece but I have more in the works.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I have a collection of cookbooks from the 1950s and ‘60s. Tons of amazing mid-century illustration!
I’m working on a piece for a project put together by the team at @painted.words and couldn’t resist trying my hand at the look of that era.
Ciao!

Can’t wait to see David Corenswet in Superman! After so much grim-dark, it’s so exciting to see an unapologetic embrace of everything that makes Superman *Superman*: hope, bright colors, shameless goodness. The Last Son of Krypton.

Did this piece many years ago. Still love it.

So Murray’s new adventure is out in the wild! Murray is a metropolitan mutt on his first trip to the county and his first wet-nose-to-nose encounter with Halloween. The sights! The smells! The spooks! He’s not diggin’ it.

➡Check the Books link in my bio.

I have a hard time resisting the urge to experiment. I've done vector work, watercolor, highly rendered pieces, and more simplified, abstract work.
These three pieces are character designs I did for some D&D players. I developed this style over time and might revisit it again someday. #dnd

Several more piece completed some time ago. The first piece was completed as sample work for a client project sadly cancelled. The remaining three are from a retelling of Hansel and Gretel from the witch’s POV. #kidlitart

Something from a long while back. I may take this up again in future. #kidlitart

I’ll sit at a cafe table in a local Whole Foods and use fellow patrons as jumping off points for character sketches. Here’s a few from my sketchbook… #sketchbook

Pieces for a recent client project. Kinda love the line work on these. 🤓 #kidlitart

Happy #kidlitpostcard day!

I was inspired after reading Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. More of a vibe than a literal interpretation. The girl is based on the earphone bicycle kid from E.T. The Extraterrestrial.
