IF Theme: "Patterns"

I started keeping a small sketchbook with me to work through color theory and ideas.   This was an exercise to use color and pattern to express the seasons.

IF THEME - "RESOLVE"

(digital painting)
This week's theme was good practice for developing another another character in the "Pinky" story. This is Shelly, Pinky's big sister.

Illustration Friday - "Clandestine"

Again, this is a bit of a stretch for the IF theme, but I think it kinda works. It's the title page for my Dummy Book (title is self-evident). I did the rough scketch and painting on the tiny dummy book I made and then refined it in Painter.

Illustration Friday Theme - "Voice"

ROOOOO RIS IT????!

Even though this was an earlier post I think it kinda works for the "voice" theme at Illustration Friday :)

Pretend/Rambunctious

Digital Painting with Corel Painter IX

I originally meant to post this on Illustration Friday under the "pretend" theme, but I didn't finish it in time. It's from my story "Pinky and the Blue Speckled Butterfly." It seems to work (more or less) for this Illustration Friday theme too.

Illustration Friday: "The Blues"

...and the sea rolled ashore

and consumed her.

Illustration Friday: "Wedding" (The Lady & Lord Xoc)

Acrylic & Incised Modeling Paste on Illustration Board

This is inspired from a Maya relief at Chichen Itza of the Lord & Lady Xoc, from the 9th century I think. When a Lord & Lady married they made a sacrifice to the gods of their own blood. There are some more graphic depictions of self-blood letting but I chose to focus on this more "genteel" image, so to speak.
