The Awkward Artist

Digital Art & Illustration

Sorry for being gone for years... There just doesn't feel like a point to making digital art anymore with AI around...

7-year old 'KirtleyAl' (her chosen art handle) asked me to upload her first fanart to my art blog (as she doesn't have her own). This little cutie has autism and is highly motivated by approval, she spent all day agonizing over the cardboard box she drew on just for the 'internet people.'

So, if anyone could spare a moment, a word of encouragement would be greatly appreciated by this little artist! ❤️

FALLEN ONE By SILAS KIMOLA

I really liked working on this- The client asked for a dark early 90′s vintage cover with a creepy acid trip vibe for the text. My favorite part is the bright highlights, we decided that since the focus was simple we would use bold colors which I thought gave a real ‘goosebumps’ kinda vibe (initial concept below.) Those bright colors translated into highlights in the finished image.

The book is for sale on amazon and is a pretty interesting read! Link and book description below!

This is a first time author so if you read please show support by leaving a review!

Fallen One

Inspired by classics of the previous century’s action and horror movies, as well as the golden age of the video arcade, Inner Demon is the first installment of the Fallen One trilogy and follows ten-year-old Ilvan as he attempts to live his dream of learning to fight like his favorite protagonists. His excitement, however, will quickly be interrupted by a series of hardships that threaten to destroy the foundations of his family and home. Powerless to alter these unwanted course changes, he seeks the assistance of his new friends and fellow students in hopes of averting disaster.

CHOICES

An illustrated cover commission for C.Marenberg.

As far as I know, their novel isn’t published yet, but as soon as it is I will link it here. 

The book has fantasy, military, and romance, so I’m pretty excited about it.

Ended up illustrating all of the DND 5th edition potions as visual aids. Selling little diy cards/printouts of them for 2.19 on ETSY if anyone is interested. 

...Also made little boxes to put the cards in because the thought of little cards without a little box upsets me...

I love my dinky little potion boxes....I wish I could figure out how to print double sidded because I was gonna add stats on the back of the cards...

had full blown organized layout for all the potion info- including crafting info... but couldnt figure out how to stick the paper back into the printer so it would print right so, yeah....

I’m pretty sure after a certain age people just start failing with electronics...Sorry.

This is an awesome read- about a bad@ss fem veteran.

Working on this cover was a pleasure, I love the old-school vintage style the author wanted, and I also love the character design.

Alices Adventures In Wonderland

SOOOOOOOOOO.....Since commissions arnt coming in left and right I decided to do some research and figure out what sells best in the modern market. That would be vector image covers- which are EXCESSIVLY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, especially since most images are made with stock photos...BUT, using stock photos rubs me the wrong way and the entire reason for me making covers and taking comissions is to make a living from what I love (which is illustration.)

So, everything you see here is made by me.

It’s a completly new style for me, but its important to be able to branch out.

There is alot of detail in there so i added close-ups
