An artist you don't see everyday. :p

A graduate from CSULB emphasized in Illustration and Minor in Religious Studies. I am just one of your artsy weirdos that loves various things from Anime, Ocean life, Art History, Fantasy and Horror. You can find more of my artworks on https://www.facebook.com/foxanime101

Pre-colored version of a drawing I did last month. My lover’s wolf fursona named Zane as a blacksmith. In my final for my Experimental Animation class, I did a paper cut out project that included a scene with Zane working in his blacksmith shop crafting a sword for one of my characters.  In this drawing though I went with a more illustrated late 16th century Renaissance portraiture style. Some references I looked at were Hapsburg portraits such as Charles V and Philip II. I am not pleased with the left hand X[ More info and colored version will be posted soon. Drawn with charcoal on a 22 x 28 inch piece of drawing paper.

Another creepy “self portrait” that was inspired after reading one of Junji Ito’s mangas called “The Hanging Balloons.” The story was about people being hung by balloon clones of themselves so then I decided to draw mine. This was also the first time I attempted to digitally ink a drawing on Adobe Illustrator.

During our last couple of weeks of fall semester at my school’s animation lab, they had cut out silhouettes of snowmen for us to draw on and paste on the walls for the holidays. Some of my classmates knew that I’m the semi kinky type so I decided to make mine into a “Leather Snowman” dressed up with a leather daddy biker jacket, a cap, sunglasses and holding the leather pride flag. 

Something about myself is that being a leather fetishist has greatly helped me come out of the closet. Since my early days of college, I discovered that such things was popular within the LGBT community. Eventually I became more open about revealing my interests to some friends and later discovering they themselves have actually even more bizarre fetishes. 

For those of you familiar with leather pride, forgive me that I placed the white stripe one row too far below. Some of us animation students were in the lab late at night including myself and I guess I was tired and didn’t realize this until it was too late. oh well it is what is but I still like my leather snowman. xp

After spending 4 semesters at CSULB Video Game Development Association, I wanted to thank them for letting me be an art member. This club greatly helped me get better at digital coloring and experience what it’s like to work with professional gaming production industries. 

The contents show each of the main characters from our previous games. In the form of star constellations starting from the left is Xun from The Last Arrow (Spring 2015), The child from Parasomnia (Fall 2015) and Zimri from Echoes of Tikkun (Spring 2016). The ship in the middle is the player’s ship from Horizon’s Pull (Fall 2016) and as of Spring 2017, VGDA’s most recent published title, Voodoo Cheval shown as a nebula forming the voodoo priestess and her horse.  All of our games are free and downloadable from itch.io. Check them out.

Story: 

After some tough exhausting battles, a warrior named Zane takes a rest on a rock. At this point he feels he doesn’t have enough energy to walk back to base along with his injuries. A light descends from above revealing an angelic figure. Could this be a hallucination he thought? But then the descending angel assures him this is no illusion and begins the to heal the exhausted wolf. 

Something else seems to catch Zane’s mind. Why does this heavenly being seem so familiar? It is as though he has hidden memories of him from a passed life. Was this angel once a living person from another era?

A big drawing I did back in February 2017. Since the summer of 2016, a certain buddy of mine and I have developed some intimate feelings. This illustration is an expression of that as the white wolf is my buddy’s fursona named Zane. Perhaps you recognize the angel as my profile pic which is one of my “self portraits.” Since my buddy likes to have some art of his fursona wear the Marauder armor from Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked, I wanted to practice with drawing and coloring armor. 

Some inspirations came from some of my favorite Renaissance and Baroque artists such as Raphael, Peter Paul Rubens, Caravaggio and Bernini. This was drawn with charcoal and colored with oil pastels on a 30x36 inch piece of drawing paper. 

Thank you so much to my friend Philip for photographing my drawing.

A “self portrait” I drew from one of my old sketchbooks. This expressed my sadistic and demonic side as well as interests in the horror genre. At the time I was reading a lot of Junji Ito mangas and I am quite fascinated with his body horror. 

The big head on top is me while I’m consuming damned souls from people who lived to be cruel, greatly harmed others and were selfish. It is me expressing how I feel those who are evil shall meet their punishment.

I got inspired when I read a particular scene from a Creepypasta called “The Showers.” Weird thing about me is I tend to visualize some characters in stories as anthros so this character was a dog. As I love Baroque art, I was also inspired to go with a dramatic Caravaggio and Ribera style. 

This was actually a study sketch while looking at Caravaggio and Ribera references for facial expressions of terror and anatomy. I kind of half-assed it though oh well. xp

I was practicing with some equestrian portraits however I made a small change by making the rider into an anthropomorphic wolf. Reference used was one of Jan Frans van Douven’s works. This was also to help me understand more about horse anatomy and muscles.

EEEK who is that? Oh ha ha that’s me. A portion of my Life Painting midterm. Rather than post any photos of my actual self, I’ll just leave this here. Hmm it’s been a while since I wore a bandanna. 

Painted with oils on canvas in October 2015.

Character design pose I did for a class. An anthropomorphic fox named Oswyn who’s story takes place in the year 1600. This is during the time when art styles in Italy were starting to become more Baroque from the Renaissance. Born in Florence which at the time was part of the Duchy of Tuscany then raised in England. As he’s a current apprentice a dame (kinghtress) named Anastasia, both are sent to Florence to defeat an evil demonic vampire named Gasparo to stop him from taking over monarchies and other regions across the European continent. 

Oswyn however isn’t great with swordsmanship nor fighting as he’s quite the clumsy type. Hell he even trips on rocks and falls in horse feces while walking down the streets. As what’s actually about to happen in this particular pose. He is worthy for the journey though as he’s skilled with his actual passion in geography, navigating and exploration which becomes beneficial when travelling with Anastasia. 

This was colored on Adobe Illustrator back in Summer of 2015. Arg I was quite frustrated with his left boot as at the time I couldn’t figure out the perspective. Getting better since though.

I’m back

I haven’t been on here in quite some time. A lot has happened including graduating from college and getting a teaching job. Stay tuned for some posts.

Illustration Project: My teacher had us paint a character in a environment. I chose to do my dog anthro OC, Ella as a mermaid swimming with the ocean life. I was inspired by Wyland who does a lot of unique whale and dolphin art. 

I haven’t had much experience with gouache so it’s not my best works. Someday I like to do another project like this.

A few full body poses for my Sumerian demon character Kizurra. His name means "sharp edge" in Sumerian. This was for my character design class.  His personality is a bit on the silly side as well as a perv. He's also into masochism. Note: I did this project around the time when the Fifty Shades of Grey movie came out but I didn't draw Kizurra in his masochist pose to dedicate the movie nor am I into S & M.

I mess with S-Voice Galaxy alot xp

My Anatomy for Artists final. My teacher wanted us to do life sized self portraits. However, we were also allowed to go creative so I depicted how I see myself based on my interests. My head is supposed to be an anthropomorphic fox with my face blended in. The hair is based off of portraits of King Louis XIV. I love Baroque art especially ones with angels so my right side has an angel wing. My left arm is a representation of my interests in demonic and scary things. Specifically the black tentacles and blood vessels are based off of images I found when I researched a Creepypasta character named Zalgo. Then instead of drawing legs, I gave myself a mermaid fin since I love ocean life and mermaids. 

Mediums I used were charcoal, conte crayons and oil pastels. Overall, I love how the coloring came out but I feel like I could’ve rendered this a little more anatomically.
