I’m so sorry for not posting in ages! I guess I haven’t had much to show…I’ll try to share more in the future! :D

These are sketches that I did quite some time ago, when planning my large 2nd Quarter Quell Tribute Parade Costumes project. I drew up these small planning sketches before I started on the full size versions. Some details have been changed from the sketch to the final, but not much.

I’ve finished eight out of twelve costumes now, colour and all, so I should be finished with the final piece in the near future. That will be on my DevArt page and my portfolio website when it’s done.

I thought I’d actually share a work in progress for once! I have kind of a fear of showing WIPs of my digital paintings, because seriously, they aren’t very pretty until I get to a further stage. Also - and this is my dirty little secret - I really don’t even have a set process for doing them. Basically, I go in with a sketch, and then wing it. Sometimes it works better than others, hahah.

Oh, and this is a fanart for the Decemberists album “The Hazards of Love” because apparently every other thing I draw has to be somehow Decemberists related!!

UPDATE 23/04/2012: You can see the finished painting here.

Human characters from my story, “The Fox of Montmartre”. Posting this here as a supplement to the mock album cover that I posted on my portfolio site!

Updated 23/04/12 with an illustration for the album “The Hazards of Love”!

Words still can’t quite express how much I love the Decemberists, but hopefully this collection of fanart I’ve done (including an illustration of “The Infanta” that I finished today) can do a better job.

Finally, it’s done! I’ve been storyboarding this for maybe a year, seriously. Not all the time, on and off, but I honestly can’t even remember when I started. The funny thing is, once I got all of the pages (40!) scanned and the frames isolated, compiling the actual animatic only took two days. :D

I’m actually really happy with how this turned out. I love the Decemberists something fierce, and this song (among many others of theirs) has always painted a vivid story in my head. I couldn’t help bringing my idea to life this time.

This is a sketch that I did to flesh out a concept for a character’s costume. She’s a trapeze artist, and she’s been featured a couple of times in my work before. I was thinking more about her back story, and in the process of doing so settled on a name for her as well. It’s going to be Nadia. And yes, she is going to be Russian. Part of the Russian circus, probably around the turn of the 20th century.

Oh, and yes, she does have a mechanical arm. No, she did not have it in this earlier painting that I did of her. That’s part of her story - she develops a bit of a mental instability. I’m working on a drawing of her where I try to express that through her body language and facial expression, so look for that soon.

It’s finally done! After many months of work. Hundreds of different coloured garments, and thousands of different combinations. Please check this flash game out on my DeviantArt page, because they display the file effectively. :) The DA page for this game also has some more info about my process and stuff.

I thought this might interest some people. ;) I made my own Mockingjay pin replica to wear to the theater when I go see the Hunger Games movie, because I’m poor and I didn’t want to pay for the mass produced version!

An online banner (technically, a large leaderboard) for a [nonexistent, as of yet] showing of my musical, Gallery 28. Uploading here because my portfolio CMS won’t allow gifs, haha.
