I can ALMOST share everything I've been working on...

but not quite ;)

Still can't show the character (or where you'll be seeing him) just yet, but the backgrounds for the different main pieces are a different story, you've seen some peppered here an there, but here they are all together! (they'll be in order from first "ordered" to last):

(the shadows are a bit dodgy in the chuck-wagon one, due to character placement and not wanting it any more "busy" behind him to be distracting)

So there we are! I honestly can't wait to show you guys everything and let you know where/what it's for (hopefully I'll be able to hop on the next project here within the next week and get that done soon too!)

thanks for dropping by! :D

Getting close to that Deadline!

my deadline is the 15th and I'm gonna make it (come hell or high-water, I'm going to make it!)

Two of the last three BG's are done (besides the signage and color adjustments once I put in the character):

and the other is getting there (I should be finished it by tonight):

So my lack of updates here was due to me posting my WIP progress on Fb rather than here (whoops)

I will probably be starting up commissions here soon, so there's that too...

Summer is almost here guys (in the Northern Hemisphere)! And I'm hoping to get a good head-start on some personal projects that were set on the "back burner" before the Sawdust Festival starts again, and then it's back to teaching! :D

Take care everyone, and thanks for dropping by

Who knew

Who new it would take so long to make bamboo? :/ but here we go

I'm just sad that most of it will be covered up once I get the title in there.
I've actually moved on to re-adjusting the character's pose and tweaking his costume a bit. But his set is done! woo-hoo! Sadly though, that means this is all I get to show you until the entire project is unveiled. But it'll be worth it.

And I'm off to make the 3 o'clock deadline! :D

have a great day/night all!!

That's a bit better

still might move the wall down, but NOW it looks like it's finally getting somewhere. It's just a matter of putting in a few more flora into the "courtyard" and placing the character and title. Then DONE with another banner…

maybe change the sky a bit too… we'll see.

hope you're Palm Sunday is going well everybody! :)

Can't show the finished ones yet-

-but here's a peek at the next part of the big project I'm working on.

I'm discovering that to make sure I get these done on time, I've got to just go by my notes I was given, and avoid showing it to my "middle-man" who have no idea what they do to me when they ask for "little" changes, that end up doubling the time it takes to get this done.

Still reworking the composition. not happy with it just jet :/

So I'll finish it, and turn it in on time. The final deadline for the whole project is drawing near too quick, and it's time to expedite my workload.
especially when I'm trying to redo animation at the same time, hurr.

oooooh crap. tangent. welp, gotta fix that.

hope ya'll are having a good day/night. thanks for dropping by!

Almost...

almost done with this particular project, and
and I'm just so happy I could cry
(pretty sure it's safe now to show this, but I'm excluded the character designed for the customer until final printing)

soon I'll be able to show the final product and let you know where you might see it :D

hope you're all have a great St. Patty's Day!!
