Old 2-3 page spread

So I have been wrestling with this idea for a few years, and a few years ago, started really getting into the art/story for it.

But, I've realized, if you're wrestling with something, trying to make it work, it's probably not meant to be. And I don't mean artistic growth, I mean story.

Sometimes it's best to walk away, and work on something new.

This is the year of the Horse, and a character I was working on (for the image) was inspired by the Chinese Zodiac...

So I get a little teary eyed because he was the main focus behind this idea and evolved the most.

There you go-- maybe a bit too much background than normal... but I figure why not.

This was drawn by hand, scanned and fixed in photoshop

Longmire

The hubby and I are obsessed with Longmire, that we just started watching on Netflix. Wanted to try some watercolor-y look.

Good Boy Panda

Agent Fink and Panda.

Found some cool ref art from a comic called Danger Days (at least that’s what the jpg says) and a My Checmical Romance album cover.

Practicing for my little comic idea I’m working on.

Samurai Sue

Mock cover for a character mentioned briefly in Valiant Comics Harbinger

My Little Harby's

from a fan art friday for Valiant Comics harbinger

I’ve been sitting on this image for MONTHS…. Finally got around to finishing it and coloring.
Never played MegaMan as a kid, but my husband likes the games a lot, and I like the art and the character a lot, so, there you go.
I have Pluto too, maybe I’ll get around to him one of these days.
