Another Day In A Pirate's Life

This is a sequel to a picture I made called "A Pirate's Life". I haven't drawn my pirate character in a really long time, so I thought I would make a new picture of her. She's holding some treasure in one hand, and a sword in the other hand just in case someone thinks of taking her bounty. I played with perspective in this picture and experimented with other things until I got the desired result.

Here's Looking At You

I decided to try drawing a portrait of one of my characters in my gallery, and choose to use different techniques in rendering this picture. I also played with lighting and shadows a little more than usual to give the picture a different feel than most of my previous work.

The Start Of A New Adventure

This is a picture of a character I created a long time ago. I decided to redraw him and give him a dog. Most of this picture was an experiment, such as the textures in the background, the colors in the sky, and the wind effects on the entire area, including the character's clothes. I like the way this picture turned out and I will draw these characters again sometime.

Game, Set, And Match

This picture is a sequel to an old drawing I made a long time ago called "Tennis Anyone". I always wanted to draw this character again, and decided that in this version to add some movement to the girl. She's an excellent tennis player, and is about to make a powerful comeback swing in hopes of winning her match. This drawing was fun to make and I like the way this picture turned out.

The Queen Of The Hive

This is a character I created a while ago. She is a bee queen, and her design changed greatly from what I originally thought of as I made this picture. I'm happy with the way that the bright colors compliment the picture, as the daytime shines in the windows behind her since bees are seen more during the day. I like this picture, and I plan to put her in a future drawing.

Into The Spider's Nest

This is a picture of a character I created I while ago. She is a spider queen, specifically a black widow, beautiful, but dangerous. I made this drawing with lots of dark colors for the background to compliment the lighter ones in the foreground, and it worked well with this piece, because spiders like dark areas. I like the way this turned out, and I will draw her again in a later picture.

A New Year In A New Town

This picture is based of an old drawing I made called "Samurai By Moonlight" a long time ago. I like the character, but decided to emphasize the background in this version. His dog is a new feature as well. I liked the colors I chose in honor of the Winter Solstice, or the beginning of winter. I like the way this picture turned out, and plan to draw these characters again.

Let's Go And See The World

This is a picture I made of a young girl and her pet squirrel going to explore the world. She's a pilot and a mechanic who has a small plane which I will draw later. The color scheme was chosen in honor of the Autumnal Equinox, or the beginning of fall. She has her supplies and tools in her backpack which doubles as a parachute, and her carrying bag around her shoulder. I plan to draw these characters again.
