Nightcrawler

This is Nightcrawler, another favorite of mine. I painted him with acrylic paint and chalk pastels. This piece was definitely a fun one to complete.

Daffy & Porky

This is my attempt at a classic cel animation piece. I used a real sheet of cellulose acetate and painted the cel and the background with acrylic paint. These are some of my favorites here, with Daffy and Porky doing their spin on the original Dragnet as they play Sgt. Joe Monday and Det. Shmoe Tuesday.

Batman

I painted this piece (originally created by Jim Lee) with acrylic paint and retouched with Photoshop. I love Jim's art and I just wanted to pay a small tribute to his work.

Joker Bugs

This is a character model sheet showing various views of a Bugs Bunny/The Joker hybrid character. I used color pencils to bring out The Joker's costume and complimentary colors.

Buddha

This is a character version of Buddha I colored with color markers and various other mediums. He's supposed to be a Tropical party version of the Buddha statues you see in Chinese food restaurants. I love his face. Makes you want to join him for a beer, doesn't it?

Monk

I drew this picture with the same techniques as the female value piece. Except the source for this one came from a statue. I never concluded if the monk was crying or praying. Either way, he's still an impressive figure.

Female Value

Using white and black charcoal on a midtone paper really gives a great shadow value. Luckily for me, I was able to experiment with it on this model from school.

Coca-Cola

I love this style of art and this era. There's nothing than a classic model holding a classic beverage. Charcoal's great.

James Dean

Here's another charcoal piece of an icon. This one belongs to someone very special to me. She really enjoyed this one.
