Last week, as you may have heard, Maurice Sendak passed away. Ten paces and draw did a tribute post for the man, a bunch of very lovely pieces where done in memoriam for him. Here's my part in it.

Sketches!!! I don't do nearly enough fan art, which is weird because it's so much fun! So here is a quick take on ygritte from ASOIAF, though in all honesty she looks like the saturday morning cartoon version of her (I would get up early every saturday if that came on). I was trying to get the essence of that cute catch phrase of her's: "You know nothing, Jon Snow"
GOD, SHE IS SO SASSY!!! lol, but really, she's a great character and I can't wait to see how they make her in the show.

2nd, we have a sketch that was totally inspired/stolen from the amazingly talented Andrew Shek. I don't think I know an artist who draws animals better than this guy (Bobby Chiu, perhaps). But he had this little tid bit on his blog that the TRex roar in Jurassic Park was a combination of An elephants roar, a whale song, an alligator rumble and a tiger's roar. I had to draw this.

Annnnd a poe sketch i did a couple of years ago. Sometimes I look at my old work and wish I could still draw like that. Somehow my drawing style went bent. I don't know. The grass is always greener or some such nonsense.  :)

Ok, sort of zoned away from the blog. Been taking sometime trying to figure out my lot in the world. Haven't made much head way, but who ever does? Anyway, last week I was asked to help with the blog "Ten Paces and Draw" which is a themed art thing, where two artists are given a theme, they come up with a sketch, then trade the sketch with the other and bring that to completion. My theme was eccentric millionaires and I traded with Rachel Dougherty. The stuff isn't on their blog yet, so you can't see my sketch, her sketch or her finish, but once they're up, I'll link them.
I just feel really bad that I haven't posted anything in a while...
