Art

A crazy ceramic experiment I did with clay that wound up being rather different than what my teacher at the time expected. The song on the record is The Beatles' "Can You Take Me Back?", which is a tiny snip at the end of "Cry Baby Cry" on The White Album. There's an extended version that remains one of my favorite Beatles songs.

I rolled out the slab, and used an actual unusable Eric Clapton record I thrifted to cut it and mimic the label. I put it on the pottery wheel and, very carefully and slowly, spun the record as I brought a clay tool down on it to create the grooves. And then I threw it on the floor! Kidding. I traced out the cracks on a piece of tracing paper, then cut them out. I strung it all together with fishing wire after it was finished firing. It's a beloved installation piece that I'm terrified to install, out of fear of it falling and *actually* shattering.

My original character "Death" from the "Death and Taxes" universe. This was my submission of my character for the "Hot Reaper Summer" event, wherein fans submitted art of their reapers in summery situations. Most of my art I have of them is done by my (very talented) partner, so I was proud that I had a near-full body piece of my own to show off of them. I'm very partial to the design I put on their Hawaiian shirt and I wish I could have one of my own.

This is a traditional drawing I did of the character "Fate" from the indie game "Death and Taxes". Base sketch in pencil, color is a mix of watercolor and Copic markers. This took me hours of doing and redoing their skin to make it look right. This actually got shown in the dev's fanart showcase!

An artfight attack of the character "Hip" by hippiichi. He's just this little purple blob thing, but I thought he would be hilarious if he were drawn like those military portraits people get done of their dogs. I also drew some inspiration from "Lesser Dog" from the game Undertale, whose neck extends like this the more you pet him. His owner loved him. I tried out some techniques I hadn't before with this piece and cracked my knuckles on my digital drawing skills again.
