Wackiness

You know, this is what I get for not updating in a week with finals so close... a MASSIVE upload.

Okay, so I don't really have a whole lot to say except that I am plunged neck-deep in schoolwork. I have a ton of things to do if I want to pass this semester with even a semblance of hard work and worth-while.

So I'm just going to rush into it, I have more storyboard stuff to do...

Tattoo Design

Title: Tattoo Design

Date: March 16, 2012

Medium: Graphite

Scale: Original is 9" x 12"

Notes: Actually... the first tattoo design I've ever done. It was based on the Paladin's Cross (basically a sword and shield designed to be a cross). Blend that with tribal. Mix in a blender... BAM that's what happens.

Book Battle

Notes: Ashley and her Mom were both reading books and I felt dumb not being in on the awesomeness... SO I just decided that I should draw them both. Was fun to characterize them both.
