There’s always something on my mind, so I think I’ll be paying Twitter the time of day again; but just as I can’t share much about my job here, nor will I there. Maybe every once in a while I’ll make some new artwork though (after all, I still want to make something with Eli & Amos!), so if I do you can find out about it there, and eventually it’ll get posted here. Anyways, happy trails to you!

Most recently, I watched The Ballad of Cable Hogue and found I really admired how many of the characters were styled (a chic coach driver? a hooker turned classy lady?), so I made this. Hope y’all enjoy!

My space-themed birthday poster is finally finished. It’s [fraternal?] twin was posted a little while ago and can be found here.

There’s something to be said for not treating your work as precious. From time to time projects come up that fight you at every step, and eventually you have to decide if there’s merit in continuing down that road, or doubling back all the way to the beginning to find another way. This was one such project.

I had started with a more illustration-focused approach, but after continuous struggle, I realized that it was fighting me for a reason; that what I’d done to that point would be in poor service for what was needed. I knew I had to throw it all out and start from scratch. This turned out to be the right choice, as I’m far more pleased with how this wrapped up and not only had much more fun but learned quite a bit along the way.

I always have fun working on storyboards, because as challenging as it is, and despite the fact that it’s work most people will never see, it’s surprisingly rewarding. As an aside, the second set is sort of a prologue story, an imagining of what leads up to the scene depicted in this illustration.

Personally, I’d prefer to take it back to a more subtle form, as though they were the reanimated corpses of a defeated invading kingdom’s knights. They sport similar but slightly different heraldry than Hyrule to hint at a disastrous desire for power.
