Zombie Ranch 498 – How Touching

We’re so close to 500 pages, half way to 1000! Very exciting! For the past few pages, I added some simple shadows to the page. Sort of my way to make things a little more serious. But now that we’ve…

Getting A Head

This is another oil painting I have completed. The inspiration for this one was loosely based on Princess Mombi from the Oz books and the Return to Oz movie.  Sketch I started with a loose idea of what I wanted…

Witch Moon

Oil painting of the silhouette of a witch flying past a cloudy night sky with a full moon.

A few weeks ago, we had a rainy day and at night, the clouds just perfectly parted for the full moon to shine through. I knew my phone camera would be woeful in trying to capture a picture of the…

Art Update

I might be getting to a point where I can start working on the new comic. Let me know if my patrons are interested in getting a sneak peek. I am in talks with a publisher and I’m going to…

Getting back into Oil Painting

I took oil painting classes back in college and it is my favorite traditional medium to work with. Other artists hate having to wait for the oil to dry, but I never minded. For a long time, I never went…

Easing animation

Another animation project where I play with ease-in/ease-out an object. My added flair was also animating it going through moon phases and leaving a trail of stars.

Dawn Animates: Rolling dice

I have dabbled in animation here and there, so I recently decided to take an animation course. The first project was to move a drawing around on the stage for 1 second. Instructor didn’t say to create anything fancy, like…

Pumpkin Girl WIP

Here is a look at another page of the art for book I’m working on. Currently, I’ve been nicknaming it Pumpkin Girl just because I don’t have a better name for it yet. I was hoping to have more pages…

The Kenku

And here is the drawing of the Kenku, a player character from the D&D game I’m a part of (DnDisaster Story). The other characters call him Scritch or Quill because when they asked for their name, he just made a…

Which one do you prefer?

I have been toiling over how I wanted to draw out this project. First I thought I would paint it, but I couldn’t get a look that I liked. So I fell back on making it look more sketchy. I’m…

Turning Audio From My D&D Game Into an Animantic

I was testing out a new Cintiq and ended up quickly making this quick animantic. This is a scene from the D&D game where Argleblarg (Clint’s Bugbear Monk) and Barbie (Dragonborn Hippie Paladin) question a Tabaxi because Argleblarg believes that…
