Second Kaftor Painting

This was created in Corel Painter. Talos's tunic, like Asterion's, was revised to be more Minoan.

Smart Phone Girl

A fashionable girl on her smartphone, created using Manga Studio and Corel Painter.

First Kaftor Painting

This is a finished illustration of Asterion running from an ahool, a kind of legless creature mentioned in Filipino folklore. Asterion's toga is different from the design on the character sheet I posted previously. This was an effort to make it more Minoan.

As for the execution, the line art was created in Manga Studio using vectors then exported and colored in Corel Painter. 

Smokey Mo

     Here's Smokey Mo. He's a mountaintop statue on a tropical island that continuously belches smoke. Under extreme conditions, he might even spew forth hot magma. Created in Manga Studio.

Balalaika Player

     The balalaika is a unique, three-stringed Russian instrument. Players often use the thumb to finger the notes on the neck. Between this and the interesting body shape, I've wanted to incorporate balalaika players into some drawings. I've never seen a musician stand while playing, but I thought it would be an interesting pose. This drawing was made using traditional watercolors.

Movember Flashback

Last year, I decided to hold a Movember Contest at my school's annual International Day. A created a character to go on the poster of the contestants; sort of a Teddy Roosevelt/Brawny paper towel guy. It was created in Manga Studio.

Some students wanted to vote for him, especially since his 'stache put all of ours to shame.

Alphabet Paintings

A teacher asked me to create A3-size posters of objects for every letter of the alphabet. When the other teacher heard this she wanted a set, too. Thank goodness for Corel Painter and the school's giant Epson...

C for corn and...

O for orange.

Kaptara! Part III

This is a character sheet of Talos before I redesigned the head. Another later addition is the knot at the shoulder used to tie the tunic in place.

Kaptara! Part II

Here's another character from the story I've been sketching lately. This is Talos, the man with bronze skin and lava for blood. In this story, he's the kid Minotaur's guardian.

I wanted to model him after the archaic Greek kouroi, but I didn't like the way the head looked. After I saw photos of the Antinous Mondragone bust, I tried that head on the kouros body. I was pleased with the results and hope to develop the character further.

Kaptara!

Here's a rough design of the child minotaur from an idea I've been kicking around.
