Frankensteins

2 concept renderings of a Frankenstein kid. Just for fun. (used Sketchbook Pro)

Lil Vampire

She's your typical spunky, loud, know-it-all 8 year old little girl. Except she drinks blood. Go figure.

Scotsman

He's tough, he's lovable, he's under 5 feet, and he's from Scotland. What else do you want?

Rock Duo

Bass and Guitar characters, reminiscent of Keith Richards and maybe a present day Jon Bon Jovi?? Not sure.

Bear of Rock

This cuddily little guy just likes to rock.

Seagull Lord of the Dance

A river dancing seagull. Why not.

Professor Roach

This is another character sketch of a . . . well, its pretty self explanatory.

Snowboarder

This is a character sketch of a snowboarder based on one of my best friends from middle and high school.

Twilight


This is a charcoal piece I did for my fiance. She's a big Twilight fan, so I decided to re-create this image for her from one of the posters for the original movie. It's all done on mid-tone charcoal paper with black and white charcoal pencils. And I used Prisma color pencils for Edward's amber-colored eye, to make his intense gaze stand out more.

Miki


This is Miki, Kekoa's best friend. His name means "quick" in Hawaiian, and that's what he is out on the surf, but you can't understand a word he says because he talks too damn fast. He's a real fun loving guy who always enjoys a good party.

Kekoa


This is Kekoa, which means "bold and courageous" in Hawaiian. He may be bold and strong out on the pipelines, but he truly is a gentle kinda guy. I used the same techniques to color this character.

Berko


This is Berko, the Thorny Devil lizard and he's as crazy as his name says. He is a master of gadgets and weapons and is the team's supplier and expert of outback technology. Even though he's a techno wizard, being out in the hot Australian sun has left a few burnt circuits in his head, so he's one of those guys. I used the same techniques to give him color.

Dag


Every team has a bumbling goof, and Dag is no exception. With a name that means "funny, and goof", this platypus doesn't disappoint. Aside from being Ozzie's right hand guy, he is also the team's means of transportation as the driver and pilot of their ground, air, and water craft. I also colored him using the same techniques as the rest, as you can see.

Lollie


This is Lollie the kangaroo. With a name that means "candy and sweet" in Australian, she is sweet but a tough piece of candy. She is the sassy, free-minded, martial arts expert of the Australian team led by Ozzie the koala. I also colored her with markers and retouched in Photoshop.

Ozzie


This is a koala character named Ozzie. He is the leader of a team of Australian Outback "defenders." What he lacks in size, he makes up in strength, intelligence, and wisdom. I colored him first with markers and later retouched in Photoshop.

Badger Girl


This is a character I created using Adobe Illustrator. Just a cute little badger that I thought of.
