2021 Summary of Art

I like to track the art I’ve made through out the year. It really helps me put into perspective what I’ve created. 2021 was a slow year that seems to have slipped by without me noticing.


A lot of my months were spend on creating the last comic installment for the CIHTS anthologies. I’m proud of what I created in 2021 and look forward to expanding my art more in 2022.

Video of Sketch

I’ve never have recorded myself draw. It made me kinda anxious, but I would like to try it again. I was feeling inspired by the new Matrix film coming out and remembered how much I love and miss that green filter.

How to Banish the Dark Lord Hastur – Page 5

Here’s another process video. These panels went through some big changes, which you can see in the beginning of the video. After some edits requested from my editor I changed the page, along with other ones.

I find sometimes when you are forced to make a change that can lead to more dynamic imagery, which I find is the case for these panels.

Welcome Back

It’s been far too long since I last posted. For a while I was on hiatus and was adjusting to a new job/position. But for the last couple months I have been busy working on the 3rd installment of the “Cthulhu is Hard to Spell” comic anthology. Here’s a little preview of one of the panels, along with showing the process.

Jam

Starting to get back into drawing after a little hiatus.

Fairy Garden

I’ve had trouble drawing/painting lately. Maybe, as you saw from my last post, it’s because of all the snow-ins that happened in February and March. Luckily, I used that time to work on a miniature kit a friend of mine got for me for my birthday last year.

I’ve always loved miniatures, even as a little kid, but this was my first time trying it. It was much harder than I thought, but I really loved the end product, thought next time I would love to make something a little bigger.

If you are interested in trying out the miniature kit here a link. Ogrmar Wooden Dollhouse DIY Glassball Kit. I augmented mine quite a bit. Here’s several tools they don’t include, but otherwise this kit would be frustrating by all means to make.

  1. Supper glue and wood glue
  2. Tooth picks
  3. Sharp exacto blades
  4. tweezers
  5. Sowing kit – I sewed my fabrics hems by hand, which is just as hard as it sound on something so tinny.
  6. museum wax – if you want to move the objects later instead of gluing them down.

Winter Weather

This weekend I got a lot of snow and it was a pretty nasty blizzard. I live at garden level, so it looks like I got snow in! I think it was about a foot of snow or more where it drifted.

More Sketches

Cool tip, if you draw on poor quality paper, like I did, you can still have it look presentable if you multiply the layer over a different paper layer in Photoshop.
