Abandoned Military Subway

Pets

Experiment: Place a bag in the same room as a cat. Leave the room for 2-6 minutes. Return and locate cat. Record results.

Orphan

I found this little guy discarded on the side of the road and stopped to take a picture. but then I felt sorry for him so decided to take him home and stick him in the wash. His left ear needs some attention, but with a little TLC he should be happy again in no time. Hooray! :-D

Quaint View

Another study from the Conquistadores series. And although this is a Spanish fort built in South America, it could quite easily be some quaint picture postcard from England. Even the light matches the dusk of a late English summer.

DS+5

I was watching the 4 part BBC documentary, Conquistadores, by Michael Wood, about the conquest of the Americas, and from the begining was struck by the high standard of the photography. I've always loved Wood's series but hadn't watched any since rediscovering my interest in art, so to watch them again was hugely satisfying from a visual point of view. I managed to knock up a quick study of one of the shots, but couldn't do more as I was caught up in Michael's own enthusiastic dialogue.

DS+4

Another quick DS sketch.

DS+2

More DS

More DS love in the form of a futuristic mountain hideout and a bad portrait from the film, Dune.

Pocket Paint Thingy

I have a new toy in the form of a Nintendo DS Lite. I baught it primarily for Colours!, which is a simple digital paint program, and I've been enjoying the freedom of painting on the go.

Obligatory Bad Guy

Today I finally got some time to work on some of the stuff I have had on the back burner. Here's a WIP of a character from the Dragonlance Saga (a score of light fantasy books I devoured as a kid) I am doing for the Dragonlance Nexus' Lexicon. It's fun to try and illustrate a favorite character from a favorite book. :-)

SKulls II

Another skull for the pile.

Diving Equipment II

Back to the sepia sketch pages today, and another deep sea diver.

I actually found a rather cool story about the guy in the helmet which I was going to post, but now I can't find the darn web page. :-(
