Grimm Fairy Tales - THE SET!

So I got the go ahead to post my cards after the 20th and so here they are!!! I've been waiting since August to show these babies off! :D This is my first official set of sketchcards (with more I hope in the future!), I did these for 5Finity Productions. I love these cards and I can't wait to get my return cards in the mail...

Let me know what you guys think! (and hopefully these will convince others to commission old Danielle for more cards!)






As always, I'm looking for commissions so if you need something special for the holidays *wink wink nudge nudge* say no more!

Finally it's Done! :D

My Bond commission for Chris Kohler!

It's taken me awhile to finish it, but I really wanted to make this piece shine. It's been a few years since I've done anything this big, and the first time I've added background elements to my portrait pieces, but I'm very thrilled with how it turned out!

I'll be putting together a tutorial on how to color marker portraits soon using photos I took while working on this. Exciting stuff!!

Materials:
15x20 hot press illustration board
Prismacolor markers
Luma opaque white paint



As always, I'm open for commissions. Just shoot me an e-mail and we can go from there :D

Obligatory Halloween Image!!!

Halloween is almost upon us and it's already snowing out! So I hunkered down and scribbled a Halloween themed piece with my OC's Sariel and Adeline.



I'll be quitting my job at Lane Bryant soon so I can keep my weekends free to use on working on my commissions. Not that they use me much anyway, but they keep calling me in on days I thought I was off. *UGH*

Anyway, I have a few commissions in progress that I can't wait to post! Stay tuned!

A Few More Cards...

Finished some sketchcards the other night for my buddy Kevin who commissioned a set of four. I swear he always finds something cool for me to do. And this time was no different, although I was hesitant to draw MODOK since he creeps the fuck out of me! But hell, I churned out a very nice looking card in any case!
I'm still open to taking on more sketchcard commissions as well as anything else anyone might need. I have less than $40 to live off of until my first paycheck in November, so any little bit helps.
I'll have a few more cards to post in a bit, just coloring them at the moment. ;)

So here's MODOK in all his...glory? BRAIN BLAST if you disagree!


One of my personal favorites of the cards I've done featuring film characters, Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan:


Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto:


And the Tornado? I've never heard of him until I got the refs. Love the goggles :B

Grimm Fairy Tales Preview

I just got the go ahead to post a preview from my set of cards in the Grimm Fairy Tales series from 5Finity and Zenescope. So go ahead and enjoy The Snow Queen!!

And the Story Continues!

I know I don't have a whole lot of people following this thing, but I'm still gonna apologize for the length of time it's taken me to get more posts up. I recently lost my internet connection at my apartment so I'm kinda dying from the fact that I can't haunt my websites as often anymore. Posts are really few and far between! D:>

However, progress on my project about Adeline is gaining momentum. I already have the first 12 pages already thumbed out and more are on the way. The next step is to finally get the actual pages off the ground! While that's underway I've been working on a ton of other images so kind of get all my ideas onto paper, it's crazy the amount of stuff is coming out! So I'm going to dump a few of the pieces I've been working on here, I'm very happy with what's being produced so far! Let's hope the trend continues!

The greed and decadence spewing from this image is overwhelming! But I'm seriously in love with it, I've never done anything this complex ever! But Sariel is worth the trouble!


This is the colored version of a pic I posted awhile ago. I can't wait to draw more of this "Queen" like character (and her minion!)


I drew this on Tuesday in a fit of madness without having the internet up. I just got home from the bookstore and decided that I looked at enough books about monsters to get inspired myself! I haven't drawn an image of Adeline starting out, in a position of tired determination. So here you go!


My first attempt at using a brush to ink a picture entirely. I think Sariel hasn't been this scary in awhile, she's going back to her roots...

Well, I know I have more but I want to entice you all to come back! Until next time! Stay Frosty!

A Little Bit of Adeline

As promised I finally scanned in a few things to tide the blog over for awhile lol
I still have a ton of sketches in one of my sketchbooks I need to dig out. But that's for later :D
Mainly it's pieces for a book I'm currently trying to piece together with Rod Hannah. I'm so excited about it that I even set up a group on Deviantart for it called Of Fembots and Flappers!

So let's begin!
One of the first major illustrations for the Adeline Project:






And a couple of Moleskine books I customized. I am taking commissions for these as I have a few books left to draw on so if anyone is interested shoot me an e-mail!

Sketches on the Way!

I know it's been a little bit, and things have been pretty hectic on my end but I do have a TON of stuff I gotta scan and post here!
But I do have some great news! I got a gig doing a set of sketchcards for a pretty high profile set for 5Finity Productions (more info to come after October!), but all I can say is HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR A JOB! Secondly I will be starting to develop my OC Adeline's story for a webcomic type thingy, details are still being ironed out but it's already sounding like a badass project. Rod Hannah will be working with me to make Adeline's world a reality and it's gonna be awesome! I need to be able to beef up my sequential art portfolio so I'm excited!

Lastly, if you happen to be on Deviantart go and check out my new group dedicated to my OC's Of Fembots and Flappers! I'd love to see more people watch the group because who knows what I might post there and not here!

Anyway, time to get some work done and I'll be back in a bit to post some sketches!!
