Recent Deviations

Posted on 10:26 by thor
I did not major in painting or illustration or graphic design. I majored in Performing Arts. So while I have an education in the fine art foundations and have learned greatly about design and color theory, being able to draw is kind of a bonus.


For a while after SCAD, I didn't draw at all. Because I teach preschool and constantly draw for kids at Art Center and for teachers (to decorate their doors) I've started drawing more. So here are 4 of my recent, more popular Deviations on DeviantArt.


1. The Elder Wand


The first of 3 drawings in my Tale of the Three Brothers series. This was done with a pencil drawing, inked with Medium Point Sharpie Pen and coloured with watercolour pencils. The black background was added in photoshop.

This is the first brother with the Elder Wand and Death looming as he casts a curse.

I will be printing these as decals.

2. Owl Kill You


Athena as a Derby Girl. In a way it's fan art for Olympia Heights.



Favorite it here.

3. Casting

Photo by ~Stillreflection. Cosplay by myself (the weapons, earrings, and pauldrons in this pic) and Anna Heim (~Christadaelia). Of course you can't see the earrings OR the Pauldrons, or Rydia's whip in this pic. I made the hair piece in my wig and the mace. All the sewing and the fabulous green wig dye-job are Anna's master work.

These costumes won Best Interpretation at AWA 2011 along with the other 2 in our group. Kain and Edge, seen elsewhere in my gallery, are a lot more of my handiwork.

Some quick casting effects for our hot magician girls.


Favorite it here.

4. Comfort

I was browsing DA and feeling sad that there was a lack of George/Angelina fan art, so I made some. It's a loose digital drawing in a moment that I imagine happened as they mourned Fred together. 

George is dressed for work and his ear is wonkey because that's the ear Snape got. Angelina's shirt was meant to be a Montrose Magpies ringer T, but in the lighting effects it slowly turned more blue than gray.

This took about an hour and I modeled the gesture on a Prison Break still.


Full resolution found here.

NOTE: This Deviation is very new and by far my most popular.
