I'm a straight-edge punk with a southern drawl. My inspiration comes from the weirdness of reality.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm a straight male(yes, I'm sure. XD), although I'm married to my career for the time being, so it doesn't really matter one way or the other.

(In other words I'm waiting for the right grrl to correct me on Magic the Gathering lore at comicon and stalk me home. XD)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am a more-or-less clean artist- I'm no prude, but I do try to steer clear of the gutter.

My style lies in the strange intersection of Traditional Fine Art, Dynamic Drawing, Pulp Comics, Manga, Impressionism, Digital Rapid Concept Painting Techniques and a little too much caffeine. 

What I lack in formal art training I make up for by sheer stubbornness and a total ignorance (and indifference) to what supposedly can't be done. Call it the art equivalent of duck tape engineering.

Everything I know about art I have learned by trying things that I have no idea how to do, and grinding at them until either the piece is completely destroyed or perfect, whichever comes last.

(Think on that one for a while and it starts to make sense. When it does, you're thinking like I do. You get used to it.;) )



I don't particularly favor any one style or school of art, but I'm a fan of pulp and ashcan art especially; gritty, scratchy, and messy has its own sort of beauty to me. 

Lately, though, I've been falling in love again with high realism after burning out on it several years ago and pursuing expressionism and comic-style art trying to break the overly-formal rut I was in.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I love to give feedback and honest constructive critique to those who ask; as a self-taught artist I'm happy to help others learn!

I like to get feedback and constructive critiques, but try to be nice please... I have a thick skin but I'm my own worst critic.

I'm a very nice and friendly person, but when I encounter trolling, scamming, or similar stupidity... well "Its my nature" and all of that.

Its something I've been working on in recent years. C/|||<< <-scorpion

Conversely, I can also get quite shy sometimes, especially when someone compliments my work.

Just because I don't respond doesn't mean I'm ignoring you-it might actually mean that you've got me saying "aww, shucks..." ^~^;





 I do good commissions for dirt cheap 

as in, prices starting at $5 US for a greyscale digital painting. 

Currently not accepting new ones until I thin my current stack, but keep checking back!

My only rule is that I don't do anything beyond R rated. (Basically, I'll do Ecchi but no PrOn.)

As I mention in my commission info, though- I'm a straight-edger, not a prude. If in doubt, go ahead and ask-

Even if I'm not comfortable with an image I might be able to come up with an alternative version I am okay with.

No wing taxes until you hit the "Centipede-taur" point...absurd complexity might cost extra, but wings and extra limbs are fun.

I'm your typical straight guy,  and thus like drawing girls a teeny bit more, 

(not to the creepy point, for those concerned about that; I'm a gentleman artist who respects your foxgirl's dignity even when drawing a pinup ^_^)

but I'm also good with drawing guys because of my classical influences- figure drawings make for interesting puzzles, so I have fun with them no matter what. :)

Commission update V: the update strikes back

11 years ago

Still working to get everybody's done ASAP, preferably without working myself into the ground doing it...

In one of those "of course it happens now..." ^~^; things, my commercial freelance career has been starting to get off the ground the past few months, which has slightly slowed completion of private commissions. Much like the pokemon Abra, when the whimsical money fairy appears you have to drop everything and dive for it before it teleports away when you're a freelancer ':P

As always, remember that responding promptly to requests for feedback helps keep my workschedule on track so everyone gets their commissions as soon as possible- this is especially true right now because I'm having to fit things in where I can, and you could end up missing chances for me to work on your stuff with slow feedback!
