I work at DreamWorks Animation (Kung Fu Panda 2, The Croods): Glorified tech support by day. Wannabe artist by night. Millionaire writer in my dreams. Fueled by free food.
Feel free to leave me a message - I always try to respond!
Since I’m really excited to finish something, this large, I’m going to do a giveaway. For every re-blog on this entry, its grayscale counterpart, and my video tutorial entry, I’ll enter you into a raffle to win an 18”x24” canvas print of this piece. :) Drawing will take place 11/29.
So, after three days and another thirty hours since I finished the gray-scale version, we have a color version. Getting a scheme down (when I started with none), with green and gold, at 3 AM, was pretty difficult.
For the record, my character, Rivek is fifteen years old as of yesterday. I obviously don’t remember the day I created him. It’s just his in-story birthday. But originally, he was a nice, Gary Stu mix of Prince Jonathan of Tortall and Tobias from Animorphs. He, everyone else in the series, and I have come a long way. We grew up together. This will be the cover for when I collect all 100 of these theme pieces. You can check them (and the story) out here: [link]
Again, I really, really, can’t thank you followers enough for your quiet, steady, support with my original work. It’s months later, and I am still floored by the response to this poll. I sometimes assume people follow me from conventions and expect mostly fanart. I could probably way more popular if I drew Harry Potter all day. But, this is what I’m really passionate about. So it’s really heartwarming that so many of you take interest in what create for myself. I do apologize that it’s so in-pieces when I present it to you - but I haven’t worked my story out entirely! It is getting there, though. :) This project - and what I am learning here in Los Angeles - has been a huge help.
