Sons of Anarchy Commission - Juice



Title: Sons of Anarchy Commission - Juice
Medium: Chalk, Charcoal
Scale: Original is 8" x 10"

Notes: Another Sons of Anarchy commission. If you missed the previous one, it's here.
The character of juice was kind of enigmatic in the series, if you're a fan. I would say that he was one of the under-appreciated characters of the whole series, but that's a different type of conversation.
Suffice it to say that I did another piece of Juice Ortiz. He is now sitting with the other four that I did for Memphis Comic Expo a few months ago.
More to come soon...

The Indies Pack



 

  

Title: The Indies Pack
Medium: Photoshop CS6, charcoal, chalk, ebony pencil
Scale: Approx. 11" x 17", smaller pieces are 5" x 7"

Notes: This was one of the packs available at the Memphis Comic Expo last weekend.

I can say that I had a blast and met a ton of really awesome people along the way! If there is one thing to open your eyes to the awesomeness of fellow artists, it's a convention. This was my first, and will most definitely not be my last!

Fan Art Friday Saturday: Consistency is Key


Title: Fan Art Friday Saturday: Consistency is Key
Date: January 2 & 3, 2015
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Original is 38.4" x 25.6"

Notes: If you're a fan of Sons of Anarchy, you'd realize that Juice is probably the most consistent character of the entire bunch - at least in terms of appearance. He looks almost exactly the same from season one to the end. It just goes to show that sometimes iconic characters appear where you'd least expect them.

"Commissioned by Ashley" (I can't help it. I love doing work that she enjoys.)

This piece really took some serious concentration. Not only was it an attempt to see how far I've grown since I started, but this was just a challenge to everything that I've learned so far. Every spot on this piece has at least two separate types of brushes, most of the piece has quite a few more, but I learned a very valuable lesson since digital painting, and that's to make every spot have multiple brush strokes to help your eye stay interested.
Hope you enjoy.
