Wow, round 10! So happy to still be doing these. For this series, I'm feeling the urge to get back to my comfort food with a machine theme. Choose your vehicle!

Shape of the Universe - 15

On goes another coat of paint. I'm surprised how many more details I've been able to add since the last version, sure I can push it even farther now.

I squeezed in this update, but I can't wait to show you what I've been spending most of m...

Shape of the Universe - 14

Got some more sessions in on this piece, and I'm quite pleased with the way it's shaping up. You can see the difference since the last update in the process gif. Mostly been working on improving the lighting and colors as I work in more details. L...

No Fences

Another calm Kansas landscape scene I can add to my realism section of the portfolio. It all starts with a good reference. I like to crop and modify colors of a photo to get as close as I can to the final look I'm going for. Then, it's a matter of...

Dot Gals - Complete Gallery

Here's the final collection of gals! I did some touch ups and I'm tempted to polish more, but I want to keep some of the evolution across the series. Notice how the hair started out as minimal anime style, and becomes more detailed and realistic i...

Here and Then

Kayaking down the local creek at dusk, I look east to see brilliant warm colors hitting the old grain elevator. This is typical, but far from mundane. Immense peace washes over me, feeling I'm right in the place I should be. It's a moment of meani...

This sun kissed cutie is ready for the summer.

*Revised 6/16/2022 - Total redo on the hair, added earring, and minor changes to facial details. Original hair style felt too drab, so I took a can of hair spray to it for some 80's magic. &nbs...

Shape of the Universe - 10

Think I've about captured the right vibe for this throne room scene. Started out too bright and welcoming, as I want it to feel daunting, maybe even frightening. The projection wasn't really working for me, so I totally redid everything using one ...
