The number of illustrations has gone up: 82 of 100, the “Derpy Angel”. I named her that because my son is always calling silly expressions ‘derpy’ so it popped in my head. I’m getting close to the finish line here. Thanks to my Facebook friends, I have a fresh amount of inspiration and ideas, so…

Quinn Royce Fan Art!
Quinn Royce, codename Saber, is the flagship character of WEAPON Combat League, my epic sci fi/fantasy competition drama. Here he is expertly rendered by Gary Pope (https://hulkdaddyg.deviantart.com) with a new look. Quinn’s standard look shows him with cornrows but here Gary depicted the antihero with a bald look that works really well for him. Visit…
Number 66 Done
Having completed the 66th girl for my 100 Girl Art Book project, I felt it important to remind myself why I am doing this and what direction it’s going in. What is the point of the 100 Girl Book? What is it for? Why am I doing it? To produce a tangible product to sell…
Been busy with Rendr
I’ve been drawing a lot of traditional art lately, energized by getting my hands on a Crescent Rendr sketchbook. It’s a pricey but high quality sketchbook whose claim to fame is the bleedproof paper, resistant to pretty much any media.

WCL is a project I started in 2003, in an attempt to create a “fighting game with a deep story”. Inspired in part by…

Had some fun experimenting with a softer coloring style. This one isn’t work safe, so click to view if you’re interested. I did say I wasn’t going to post too many completed images in the future, but this one I felt deserved to be shown off. I like how it turned out. Hope you do…
Stratos Guardian
A long time coming, here’s my latest girl for the book. She was a fun one. The name popped in my head because I had a bit of nostalgia thinking about one of my all-time favorite video games while working on this one, The Guardian Legend on NES. Why hasn’t anyone HD-remade that game yet?…
Number 20 – Spirit Summoner
Slowly getting back on track, here’s the 20th girl for my 100 Fantasy Females of Color art book. This one features a frail girl who can use her vast spiritual power to summon an energy manifestation of her idealized self.
