True Blood- Godric and Eric



I drew this.. wow, nearly 5 months ago!
I had the flu and figured I'd work on portraiture in order to get my mind off how bad I felt.
I passed out twice while working on it... but it still came out fine. XD
This show is my guilty pleasure. I don't watch TV now-a-days anymore.. but this show and Big Bang are pretty much the only "TV" I watch [cartoons not included. I always watch that].

Star Wars Tarot- Knight of Swords



This one comes a little late but with good reason: I have begun production on another animated short. So my time is now dedicated between multiple part time jobs, these tarot cards, commissions, and an animated short.

Into the flames with us!


In my deck, I changed the elements of the specific suites; particularly between Swords and Staves [Wands]. Because I associate wood with air, and swords with aggression- hence fire- I switched them in my deck. While this image is reminiscent of the Staves [Wands] Knight, because of its aggressive association I switched it to Swords.
And I can do whatever I want because this is my deck so na-na-na-boo-boo.

A little note about the “horse” Anakin is ridding. Years ago when watching the prequels (Episode 2 just came out) I was a little disheveled that the “Knights” did not have “horses”. You can’t be a “Knight in shinning armor one a white horse” if there isn’t any horse!
So obviously, I took it upon myself to create horse-like creature, but keep some obvious “alien animal” qualities to it (Dude, ANLTERS!). Of course, since then there were a number of “mounts” used I the SW saga, but I’m partial to my “horse” thing because it’s mine and I think it’s cool and I used to SW RPG with one!
SO THERE.
