Wolves

I've been doing a lot of wolf studies lately and I thought it'd be a fun challenge to make an illustration that focused entirely on wolves. Anatomy and reference drawings are one thing, but trying to create characters and tell a story uses a different muscle entirely. Pretty simple, implied story moment using some broad archetypes. Turn out that when drawing wolves it's easy to slip into mythological territory.

Post-Montreal inspiration

I was fortunate enough to attend the Syn Studios "Gathering of Masters" in Montreal. Five days of talks, workshops, and hanging out with like-minded artists from all kinds of backgrounds. It was hugely inspiring to listen to James Gurney, Terryl Whitlach, Samantha Youssef, Raphael Lacoste, and many others. I've been home for two days and I can't stop drawing.

Right now I'm frantically running around drawing everything. Eventually i'll calm down and start focusing, but for now I'm like a humming bird with a pencil.

There are life drawings, animal drawings, anatomy studies, and even some airplanes (picking a subject I have little to no interest in and trying to lean into it).

League of Queens

Episode #205 - The League has tracked Maleficent (with Jafar and Trident in hand) to the Godmother's tomb. Belle has learned to control her transformations, Ariel now wields Excalibur, and Jasmine has finally been freed from her lamp. Can Cinderella lead them to victory before Maleficent acquires the final piece in her plan?

That Disneypocalypse image I made a while ago was fun. In a continued attempt to get back into the swing of doing personal work I thought it would be fun to revisit this idea. A few extra details: -Cinderella's armor is glass because practicality is boring. -Ariel wears a large, purple octopus beak around her neck. -After being set free, Jasmine turned her lamp into a dagger in the hopes it could kill Jafar. -Maleficent bears the scars of being stabbed in the chest by an enchanted sword.
