D-Raw & Friends
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
It’s never too early to start some teaser imagery! The 3rd book is only just getting started. Makes sense if you think about it since the 2nd book just came out about a week ago. Here’s a fun activity! Go to Amazon.com and do a search for Dakota Rawhide. See what comes up. Go on! It’ll be fun. I’ll wait…
Anyway, Book 3 teaser 0.5, y’all!
Can ye dig it?

“Fire Dragon Mountain!” OMG!!
Monday, May 23rd, 2011
I rewatched Lodoss Wars a while back. I loved that series as a kid. It was the closest I could get to a Lord of the Rings movie, that was good, until Peter Jackson fulfilled all my hopes. At any rate, I loved the concept of a dragon living in a volcano and I always loved the designs of their dragons, so when I had a couple days to kill I decided to do my own take on Shooting Star, the demon dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain!!

Had a blast doing this. Hope y’all dig it.

Lost Thumbnails
Friday, April 8th, 2011
I’d forgotten about these. Sort of a fun little look at some process. This was the one, and so far only time I was going to do one of the Art Order challenges. It’s a pretty great source for inspiration. The only reason I don’t participate is time. Too much work and too many projects to work on. I forget the theme of this one. Something about being lost in a dungeon. Like you were either breaking out and couldn’t find your way or you were breaking in and couldn’t find your way. I chose infiltration. Obviously I never got past the thumbnail phase. The first is just some super quick sketches for poses in my 8.5″x11″ Moleskine. The second was a more fleshed out “thumbnail” about 4″ high. I like to work small in this phase because I can get the mood across quickly. Anyway, sorry I couldn’t finish Jon! Not that you knew I was starting to begin with ;)
Hope y’all enjoy! (click on the image for a larger view)

Just Copic w/It
Thursday, March 10th, 2011
I was sick of seeing that same post on the front of my page for so long. I figured I’d post a random sketch. Since that’s what blogs are for and all… Warm Gray Copics and some Pilot double-brush pen with lots of Japanese on it…
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll probably scan some more marker drawings in soon. They’re quick and fun :)
Cheers,
