Some new (and not so new) art, and the Pokemonathon

I realize I've neglected this blog quite a bit in favor of DA and Tumblr (hey, it's rough keeping all these things up  to date) so here's a little look at what I've done in the last few months.

First off, I've been participating in a little illustration challenge which is the Pokemonathon over on Tumblr. I thought it'd be fun to do in my free time. And If you think my idea of fun just sounds like a lot of extra work, well, you're probably right. Here's the first 9:

And here's a couple other recent arts:

I should probably mention that I meant for this blog to be more about process and progress, which I've been forgetting to do lately.. I know, I'm terrible. 

SPLASH

Sorry, no process pics this time. Just a quick little illustration for Illustration Friday! This week's topic was 'refresh'. Hope you're all enjoying your summer!

Spirit of the Forest

A speed paint turned not so speed paint..

Illustration Friday - Shiny

I decided to start doing Illustration Friday to help give me something to work on. Last week's topic was 'shiny'. I also felt like drawing cats.

Party Crasher - Finshed

Process:

Griffin - Inks

Inks are (finally!) just about done! Just a few more details...

the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition

Last week I had the tremendous opportunity to fly to New York City to see the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition! This year saw a mind-blowing 8,119 entries, with only 249 accepted, so I was very honored and excited to have been one of those who got in.

 

 My piece at the show!

It was a wonderful privilege getting to meet other artists and checking out some really amazing work!
