Feeling inspired from Illuxcon 8 this past weekend. 

Quick Sketch - I love water stuff.

This champ really needs some of Riot’s re-work love. Did this sketch based on the treatment they gave Tristana.

Another year gone by! Fanexpo 2015 was AMAZING fun. I had a great time doing all these commissions and working in pen and markers all weekend. i work digitally 90% of the time, so it’s a real boost to get a chance to make cool art traditionally. It’s also great to get the instant gratification of a satisfied customer when they pick up their commissions :) 

I hope I never take for granted being chosen to do a commission out of a sea of thousands of artists! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to everyone who got a print or a commission! 

Next con: EDMONTON EXPO! http://edmontonexpo.com/ stop by if you’re in town :)

Fiddlesticks! I started this painting in oils and finished it off digitally. Working in oils feels amazing but I still can’t quite get what I want out of that medium the same way I can with digital, at least not as quickly. This was a lot of fun to do though and I can’t wait to do some more oil painting!!

I’m so honored to see my versions of Gatomon and Renamon resonate with someone so much they decided to mark themselves for life with the designs. This is the first time I’ve had my work turned into tattoos and it fills me with so much positive energy every time I look at these photos or show someone else. Such a exciting moment in my life’s adventures~ You can follow this sweet human incarnation on twitter @TiGeRxLiLyZ

Finally saw Ex_Machina! This image really stuck with me from the film, so I found a still and did a study! This was nice and relaxing, just trying to turn the movie still into a painting.

This is a slight spoiler to the movie if you haven’t seen it yet, but it’s nothing that will ruin the experience. If you’re in to sci-fi you should just go see the movie anyway, it’s a good time ;)

Here’s a new sticker design for Anime North! 

Kill la Kill is one of the only animes I’ve watched in the last 10 years, and it was super worth it~ I enjoyed the animation, humour, and even the story haha.

I want to do some more stuff with the characters from the show, they’re a lot of fun to draw :p

Staring off into the sunset you notice a curious little Pikachu, wondering what you’re thinkin’ bout’.

His scanners hadn’t picked picked up anything unusual on his patrols, but Cheetor had come to know the deserts quite well since the crash. On the scalding dunes, hidden in the mirages, there was always more than meets the eye. 

Brainstorming Cheetor redesigns this weekend at Toronto Comicon! Decided to paint one of the sketches as part of my warm ups today! 

Beast Wars was one of the best shows on T.V. in Canada when I was a kid, and I’m hoping to tap into my inner 2nd grader for a rad set of images! 

Happy Monday Everyone ;p
