This was done from a higher point of view, so as to get a better sense of 'awe' of the character as they take in a marvelous/horrific/indescribable sight. Personally my favorite is the smallest one, as it looks upon a giant rendition of itself.

Look at That! Pose of the Week
And we're going strong with our third installation of poses this last week of July!

Pose of the Week: Surprise!
Le Gasp!!
Yes, this week is the continuation of sitting, and now rising! What could she be looking at? Whatever it is, her reaction is pretty captivated by what she's seen. What do you think? What if she was looking down? How would that change what's going on?

Something New! Pose of the Week
I thought I'd give myself a little challenge and (hopefully) give some insight into poses/anatomy. Now, I'm no professional when it comes to these things- in fact, these are my weaknesses! But I feel that by drawing a new pose every week on here will help me break the flat dimensions I tend to get stuck in and give me regular practice. And who knows, maybe you'll learn something too!
For this week I wanted to start with a contained pose, but also a little dynamic to keep the eye interested. And because I can't afford a real, breathing model, I used my pose-able mannequin for reference.
Body language is sooo important when you are trying to communicate a feeling or mood. That's why I thought it'd be nice to specify the emotion. Of course, you could say it's a slew of other moods too, and that's alright. You can alter the pose just a fraction and change the 'feeling' into something else completely.

Upload Time
Hello everyone! I am still very much alive and drawing- in fact I uploaded my first time lapse drawing!
Like half of the world population, I'm hooked on Legend of Korra and I cannot wait for the second season! They ended it so cleanly that anything could happen. And as usual, I'm blown away by their mad story skills.
Besides the contracted commission work I'm getting myself in gear for Gencon again (whoot!) and thinking up new artistic marvels to wow the crowd (or at least try to). Last year's Zodiac badges sold really well, so I plan on continuing that trend this year! Leos must really like me, because they all sold out. lol
And here is my first logo! This was used for a Midwest Writing Center Convention that was hosted at my campus.Thanks to my best friend who works in the IUPUI Writing Center for promoting me for this wonderful opportunity!

Thundercats...HO!!
Well Gencon was a blast this year! As it has been every year, but I made some great sales on my badges and prints, which suprised me because of the economy. But I'm not complaining! It only means that my art is going in the right direction, right?
I met a fantastic artist at a one hour painting seminar. He was kind enough to look at one of my watercolor posters and give me compliments! He told me his first official art job was there at Gencon, doing art for a trading card game. I'd love to try my hand at something like that...
Thundercats aired their newer series, and it looks very promising. The story is tightened and given more depth, the animation is just fantastic, and the voice actors are great. Can't wait to see more!
And here is a little sketch inspired from the show...

Getting Ready for Gencon
If you don't know what Gencon is, allow me to introduce you to the world's largest gaming convention in the world! It's located here in my small town state of Indiana, mostly because it's a highly convenient location in the midwest. Every year I pay for an art table and meet really interesting people, brush up on my technique with other artists, and get lost in the wonderful dealers room. This year I hope to do the same, and maybe make some publishing contacts. With Gencon, anything could happen.
I've worked on my portfolio all year, hoping to impress the crowds and any art director I may find. And it all starts next week! This is the part where things feel really surreal.
This year will be exciting because I'm offering new products other than the standard prints, like posters and hard laminated Zodiac badges! So if you plan on coming to this wonderful event, please drop by my table in Anime Artist Alley and say hi!
