Flying robot update

For the past eight months I worked on my "Digital natives" series and until recently I continued working in 2d. I encountered an interview with a custom toy artist that introduced me to a product called  Apoxie Sculpt. Ever since then I have been working with this medium and have never been more excited about getting back to my roots in sculpting. 

Here is an update on my latest piece, hope you enjoy!

Sculpting again

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, due to classes and a number of other things. However one of those things is featured in the following pictures. Still a work in progress, I've found a new sculpting medium that has enabled me to sculpt with restrictions. The last time I was working in the 3d  medium I was using ceramic clays. To say the least ceramics were great however they weren't very forgiving. This Apoxie sculpt  is a completely different story and I've been reunited with my true passion. I can sculpt the basic shape and once the mixture is cured I begin carving sanding and so on!

Semester starts

With school back in motion for me I'm finding it harder to find time to work on my art. As frustrating  as this may be I force myself to paint and continue producing work. Hope you enjoy these new pieces as much as I do!

I have been battling this piece for almost six months, I still don't really enjoy it but adding I. The 8bit fade on the cloaked figure has been a reason for me to save this and push through the anxieties and not destroy it by ritualistic death by fire! 

Used a fountain pen for the inking on this, more sketchy and splattered but I'm digging it.

Last but not least here's an early concept drawing for a future piece.

A new year start


Changed my mind on this one and decided it needed to be filled in with acrylic 


Second piece of the year signed today 
I'm really enjoying these flying pieces that incorporate my earlier works involving pattern and repetition.

Holidays limit studio posts

With the past month spent working on gifts for friends and family I've been limited on when I can post updates. Out of stress of completing the pieces that I was gifting I have neglected the blog and my current series.  Here are some of the pieces that have occupied my time this month.




 Once I had those presents completed I was able to return to my series I'm working on 

Playing around with some watercolor board, possibly keeping the color to a minimum if any at all on this last piece. However that idea could change 
Stay tuned and thanks for stoping by to have a look.

Progress complete

Just finished this 9x12 piece I was commissioned to do. The medium I used was acrylic and the line work was a very specific acrylic based paint Molotow one4all. I get the marker refills and use it for all my line work.
In my opinion it's the best, not only does it dry super fast so I don't have to worry about it smearing. The fact that it's a super thin bodied paint and is very opaque makes it my preferred paint for this type of work.
