Scenic Silhouettes

I’m striking out on my own as a designer creating my own style or art. Once I’ve created a large enough portfolio I’m gonna look into setting up a booth at the Spokane Comic Con. It might not be right away but I will be there!

do you have a deviantart?

unfortunately no, I used to have one ages ago under a different username, but when I tried to join again I couldn't for the life of me navigate the app or website as I used to.

As a recap I have uploaded my Avatar set on my RedBubble site Here. 

As you can tell it takes me some time to create and post these things but I will get them done... Eventually. The next one shouldn’t take two years through... Maybe. 

The next set I’m working on is for Legend of Zelda, I’m debating on full body vs bust shot. Cause full body shots are a pain to work with but I have awesome idea or merging two bodies, more like over lapping artistically, to give it more surface area to work with. It might make the characters unrecognizable though so I’m hesitant.

Also, for the hell of it I recolored another version of my Lewis piece from the Mystery Skulls set. This one has colors pulled directly from the Cave in the Hellbent video because that’s what I had done to the original blue one and I wanted to.

It is very pink, so I’m calling it the candy version of Lewis. He can be purchased Here at my RedBubble site.

Katara was the last one I worked on, I agonized over poses and scenes to base her off of. I though of doing her final battle with Azula, the point where she’d just frozen them both. And then it was a toss up between when her mom dies and her attacking the killer; On one hand, Tragedy, on the other hand, Badass floating ice spears. But I finally settled on this one as it felting fitting, because as badass as the others would be this one felt true to her. The feeling of Hope and that Start of New Beginnings

Toph; The Greatest Earthbender in the World, Inventor of Metalbending, All Around Badass! She was the first one I made when I started my Avatar Set. She was the easiest of the set, mainly because of how her scene was and obvious choice as was her silhouette. How could I not choose the two greatest things about her to show off; Metalbending and her Earth Sight!

I like how Zuko turned out, it was really hard to figure out what scene to base his silhouette on and I might still make a Blue Spirit based one. Also, I discovered that working in pinks and reds is worse that working in orange. It was so hard picking out colors for this thing.

Aang’s Silhouette was fun to make, and by fun I mean a pain because of all the finicky bits and detail. Also, its very difficult to work with yellows and oranges, I had similar problems working on Vivi’s Orange piece from my Mystery Skulls set. 

You can purchase Aang from my RedBubble site Here

I Rise from the Shadow!

And I bring Gifts!

It’s been like two years since I posted my Mystery Skulls Art, but I appear again with Good News! In Plural! 

Firstly, After over two years I’ve finally got off my ass and updated my MSA stuff on Redbubble, I have more than Stickers and Postcards now! I randomly got the energy to update all six of them in that span of 24 hours. But that Random Energy gave you the other two Items as well, so

Secondly, You may have seen my Candy Demon, if you haven’t do see it cause its awesome. With that burst of energy I vectorized that thing last night and had it posted on RedBubble in like two hours.

Lastly, I will be posting my second set of Scenic Silhouettes tomorrow! I finished them like two months ago only now had the energy to expose...advertise? them to the world. This is a set of four that I’ve been working on and off these last two years, and I’m really excited to show you what I’ve got! 

They are based off of Avatar: the Last Airbender, and rather than being a torso shot they are full body. Full body silhouettes are a lot harder to work with as there is a thinner surface area to work with so its difficult to build scenes to fit them. I’m really proud of the work I’ve done.

Ta Ta For Now :)

Behold The Candy Demon of Agony or something like that. This is an old piece of mine that I made back in College about 4 years ago, I was originally made for an ABC book project.  I had another version of this where I had done some impressive shading to make it look more realistic, very spooky, but I don’t know where it went.

I vectorized it and touched up the colors, its transparent which is awesome. I have it up on RedBubble Here

I'm so Happy!

Somebody bought some of my stickers!!

They said my designs were cute!!! And that the "use of the silhouette was astounding"!!!!

I've never felt so alive!!!

I also recolored them in their own colors! I was surprised at how good Arthur’s coloring turned out, I was sure it wouldn’t look that great in the yellow and orange, but he pulls it off well! Vivi in blue is my absolute favorite of the series though. It’s so cool and mysterious. Lewis’ is ok, but I think I liked his cyan one better though. It kept the emphasis on the cave and the color created a connection with Vivi.

Thanks everyone for liking an rebloging my other art! I got distracted when I was posting my first two posters so I’m going to post the rest of my work for the Mystery Skull series now.  You can buy Vivi here at my RedBubble!

Vivi’s poster was very finicky to make, I couldn’t figure out how to get the trees to look spooky and foresty without making a jumbled mess of colors. I think I used 9 or ten colors on this one, but meh, there were way to many details for me not to include that many.

Hi everyone! I’ve officially started selling my artwork starting off with my series of Mystery Skulls Animated! You can buy Arthur here at my RedBubble!

Arthur's poster was easier than designing Vivi's poster but it still gave me trouble. I hated the stairs I originally gave it that were ugly as all get out, and I hadn't quite known what to do with the space in his head. All in all though, I think it turned out pretty well.

Hi everyone! I’ve officially started selling my artwork starting off with my series of Mystery Skulls Animated! You can buy Lewis here at my RedBubble!

Lewis' poster was the first one I started on and was honestly the easiest with a simple yet emotional image at its focus. His pose had been the inspiration behind this series, a fiery glare with his back towards you with a thorn'd rose covering him.
