Three Pages
Well, here I am at the end of my semester, and I find myself updating for the first time since it started. This blog format was supposed to make me post MORE :(
Here’s a sequence of 3 pages done for a children’s illustration course in which we illustrated an Aesop fable. I did the North Wind and the Sun :)

Ahoy thar!
Wheee, end of second semester, and two more to go :)
A character design for a bloodthirsty harlot-turned-pirate. I have more of her, but I like this one best :)

Pie
For a school assignment I had to mess around with halftone stuff, and inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Rule of Pie, I decided to go all retro with a slice of delicious pie ;) I was thinking cherry rather than strawberry, though.

I’m Tired of Looking at Me
I made about 5 self-portraits within the span of about two weeks…eep. Anyhow, here’s one I finished tonight :)
Hopefully I can take a break from these for a while ;)

Mona Lisa(ish) after Sophie Griotto (sorta)
It’s nearing the end of my first semester in my illustration program, and so I should have a small slew of things to post when I get some time. For now, here’s a painting I did in which we were to reinterpret the Mona Lisa in the style of a different illustrator. I chose the fantastic Sophie Griotto, whose lovely website you can visit here. I couldn’t really capture her style, as I just couldn’t mimic the loose spontaneity of her work… it’s more of a weird hybrid between her art and my usual style. If you ignore the point of the exercise, I think it turned out okay in itself ;)
Btw, I’m going to be erasing all my book reviews, as I highly doubt anyone really cares about my opinion on books, and I update my reviews so sporadically it just ruins the flow of the blog ;)

To Fly…
You can do it, Mr. Beaverton! Just believe!
I re-jigged this painting from one I did a few years ago. Seeing the change is pretty neat–the original looked more like a falling groundhog than a flying beaver :D

Mushroom n’ Zombie Mayhem
Well, just some news that we have just switched servers and so this site was down for a while. But we’re back now, with a faster, better(?) blog ;) The reason for the switch? HostGator couldn’t handle the traffic for the IndieStone when Lemmy & Binky (now with Nick) announced Project Zomboids, and when we relied on them the most they could not deliver the service (and not only pulled down and locked the site, but displayed a 404 error which made it look as though the site was not legit, a HUGE problem when money is involved). HostGator can serve basic needs, but if you want your site to have any level of popularity, I cannot recommend them anymore. Hence the server change.
But enough about that!
I was cleaning up some of my files on the server and came across some sprites that I made a good while back for the TIGSource Assembly competition, in which artists/musicians made assets that were used by programmers to make games. I thought I’d put them up here, so anyone can download them. Yup–they are free for use in any game projects requiring a violent mushroom (although credit should be given, and a link to my site is highly appreciated), no need to ask permission :)
Animations and a tile demo up here, and the spritesheet and tilesheets are after the break for your downloading needs :)
