Been meaning to do this...
9 years ago
About a week ago, I finally got an opportunity to do something I've been meaning to do for about 5 years now.
Lemme explain. I know a lot of people have commented in the past about how quickly I've improved on my art since I started here almost 3 years ago, but as I'm quick to explain I have a pretty extensive art background from my university training. I was able to move forward so fast because I had quite a bit of a running start. Drawing Brock for the first time wasn't a matter of learning how to draw, but rather a matter of developing a new more minimalistic cartoon based style and adapting to a new medium (digital drawing). So, please, don't use me as an example of artistic development, I make a very inaccurate measuring stick. :p
Before diving into here, I spent the previous 2-3 years delving into physical arts at the university level. Drawing, painting, design... all that stuff I took courses in until at least intermediate levels. I had really wanted to continue on further with my study of the fine arts, perhaps even earning a second minor to go along with my Graphic Design one, but sadly I ran out of financial aid and had to cram the last few courses I needed to graduate into one final semester.
So anyway... Tl;dr, I have a pretty extensive portfolio of art prior to all of the Brock stuff I've done.
Back to what I'd been meaning to do. Last week, we had a family friend visit, and he convinced me to dig my art out of storage and show him (he's an artist and collector himself), so I did. He loved it, but most importantly (to me) I finally took the opportunity to photograph the majority of my pieces! =3 Something I've been wanting to do, but never really took the time for. I didn't photo everything, but I did get what I consider to be my best work, my charcoals and some of my oil paintings.
There's a few I didn't get because they were either too large to easily photograph or too awkwardly shaped, but for the most part... Here they are. :D

Just wanted to share these here, cause several of you have expressed a deisire to see these in the past. I'm not going to post them on here because they're not furry related, but they do now live in my google drive for your perusal.
Thank you all for your love and support over these years. =3
Sláinte!
