Christmas-E

Liz's mom said Wall E is her favorite character. That inspired this little gift. Working on cleanup and colors today.

It's-a-Me, Bending Proportions

I love Mario and Luigi - I had some fun drawing alterations of their designs.

Meet Liz

We went to Disneyland for free, so I made a little thank you card. Then there was our anniversary and, being broke, I made Liz a small gift.

Quickie Update

My time with DCP came to a close last month and I've been doing some toy freelancing. Looking for more clients along the way. Again more NDAs were signed so doodles are go for the update!

More sketches

Digital stuff mixed with costumed figure drawing at work. Go Indy!

From Deviantart

Still updating at deviantart

BUT

Both the blog and DA should get updates at the same time, or at least kept current of each other. Not this "mix and match" scene.

Will fix tonight (today?)

Daily Doodles

I've been making it a point to draw non-work stuff, even if it's a small drawing every morning. Which means a long overdue art dump:

Hold the Phone

Yes, I am alive and kicking.

I've also been drawing. Some of it I can't show - a lot probably. I'm currently working for Disney Consumer Products in Apparel design. It's a pretty neat gig - I get to draw what will hopefully turn into icons used on children's clothing. Then there's the usual layout/design stuff that became second nature when working at 49er Shops.

Funny enough, I haven't spent nearly as much time drawing outside of work. Partly from a lack of self motivation to the hand cramps acting up again and now much, much worse. It worries me, but no insurance means I can't get it looked at. Need to fix that.

But I have done some work I can show (I think) - it was a submission to Udon's Street Fighter fanart book that's coming out in time for Comic Con 08. I'll edit this post later once I get my hands on the link. Anyway the submission wasn't selected to I think its safe to post this one up.

Freakin' A'

Loooooooooooooooooooooooong time no talk folks!

So here's the skinny - I worked on a month-long freelance project, which I hope to put up soon as soon as I get the ok from my client. THEN I got a new fulltime job (YAY!) as a game tester (YAY?). So far it's been intense hours, so we'll see if I survive and create as I go, or go off and create to hopefully keep the bills in check.

Yes - bills. Blah. Rent. Pah! All of this needs to be covered and while it was working to a degree in freelance, I was dying to find a way make more than just my financial ends meet. Getting a car, insurance, food would all be nice things and for that I need some 9 to 5 employment.

In short - don't count me out. I draw on my breaks now and have been keeping my energy up and hopefully game testing sucks the gaming nerd out of me so I'll spend more time on the weekends drawing. And less playing Phoenix Wright >.>
