Pegasus - WIP

2012-01-20T15:09:00.000-05:00

I think the idea of a "pure white" pegasus is a bit tacky and you could at least ride this one around not feel as bad if it got a bit dirty. Wish me luck on the wings and the hair, that'll be a learning experience.

Hopefully, the next post I make will be the competed pegasus or my new blog template!

Commission Time!

2012-01-05T22:10:00.003-05:00

Hello,

I'm letting people know that I'm available to create some original art for a limited time!
Warning! I'm not much of a portrait artist or caricaturist.

What I can do is probably everything else. If you've ever wanted a funky pet portrait, wall stickers, characters, a poster or a tailored valentine, this is a great opportunity!

What you will get: a 300 DPI PNG (or what ever file format you'd prefer) image. You can scale it, shrink it, post it, print it ... use it as often as you'd like! I could arrange to have it printed on canvas and mailed off to your house, but that will incur some extra cost.

Pricing will vary but a flat coloured image with an item or two will start at $40

More detailed digital paintings will start at $75

We will discuss your commission thoroughly, I will give you a timeline and a price. Quotes are free and there's no pressure to commit, so don't be afraid to ask!

Spaces are limited, first come first serve!

Please contact me at worthylake@gmail.com

My Kit Kats.

Seriously, this blog is an image away from being a crazy lady's ode to cats in art. Good thing I found a man and had a kid before I found out about cats.

Lil' cats.

2011-10-24T16:28:00.002-04:00

I don't know why I keep drawing them, I don't even like cats that much.

Supermodels of the canine world. Or something cheesy like that.

Working the kinks out on this ...

Kinky haired horse. I'm mesmorized by the show, "My Big, Fat Gypsy Wedding". One of the last episodes I watched had some vanner horses in it. Crazy people, but nice horses.

Not much to say, just a concept.

Dressage

2011-05-08T19:06:00.000-04:00

Everytime I try to fix something on this, it ends up looking crappy. Time to slap the ole' good enough sticker on this ...

Musings

2011-04-30T00:21:00.000-04:00

K is for koala, the creepy two thumbed bastards. Just brainstorming ...

Erin, the worm princess. Such an honour, and yet so humble.

Ideas ...

2011-04-27T22:10:00.000-04:00

Fiddling around with ideas for an animal alphabet book ... I'll probably need a designer for this. 8I

Finished!

2011-04-10T10:14:00.000-04:00

I am finished! Time to get these printed, and framed in a majestic manner.

A pointless and incomplete compilation of dogs that come in black and white.

Art of Survival - WIPs

2011-03-13T16:15:00.000-04:00

Some art for the "Art of Survival" art auction. I need to finish a giraffe for this piece and get them printed and framed. The animals are done, but I'm not sure what I want to do for the backgrounds, or how I want them laid out in the frame. Hrm...

Kitty - WIP

2010-12-16T22:51:00.000-05:00

I gotta fix those legs ... and finish it.

More Dinos

2010-12-14T23:28:00.000-05:00

Yeah yeah, the staging and line weight blows, but it wasn't supposed to be a group image, I just tried to compile them in one.

Life found a way.

2010-11-24T07:33:00.000-05:00

The next two dinos! I think that the pteradon thing will be invisible, like Wonderwoman's ship. Or green. You decide.

Tis the reason ...

2010-10-26T17:26:00.000-04:00

... for the season.

A quick lunch sketch ... After watching "The Walking Dead" doesn't one think that marriage vows should include a line about if your spouse should ever become a zombie, you will not hesitate to annihilate them?

Even dragons have wishes ...

2010-10-01T15:24:00.000-04:00

A work in progress I hope to finish ... one of those 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there paintings ... or I don't feel like working so let's blow 2 hours. You know what I mean.

Dinos in waiting.

2010-07-23T00:34:00.000-04:00

2 done and 12 more to come.

Flash Doodles X 3

Holy Makeral ...

2009-10-31T00:02:00.001-04:00

I drew something ...

Design stoof

2009-07-18T20:33:00.001-04:00

Ok, perhaps not my forte, but I'm learning...
Here are some mock web layouts and some real logos. I didn't do the text on the timber wolf one... I'm not even sure I coloured it... but I did do the wolf lineart. Also, I have no clue why the HRSS one has a white band on it... I blame flash.

Buckles and Waders

2009-06-16T22:39:00.000-04:00

Girl from the future. Mostly "inspired" by things Andy draws.

Into the ice forest

2009-06-15T12:41:00.000-04:00

A commision I did for someone. I got some great ideas from the dudes over at http://lightwyrm.com/

Some great tutorials by some very talented artists!

A Zeal of Zebras

2009-05-15T14:00:00.000-04:00

Some zebs. The rare stripeless kind. Actually, I will be colouring this, I just can't decide how yet.

Sweet Dreams . . .

2009-04-25T16:04:00.001-04:00

. . . and may you always have moonbeams on your bum.

Fatlee is gone for now, I'm going to repaint that turdlet... I thought it sucked.

Orange and Black Day?!

2009-03-27T14:38:00.001-04:00

I'm making a quick 'toon from some audio I ripped from a podcast...in '06. It's sad if not embarrassing how long it's been taking me to get this thing done. I'm working on animation now at least. I have to do some colour fixing and will most likely redo some shadows... but more or less, these are done. Hopefully this puppy will be done in the next two weeks.

BABY ALIVE!

2008-11-18T13:02:00.000-05:00

My latest creation, Baby Erin!

Art updates will commence shortly.

Clancy and Ella!

2008-04-10T16:38:00.001-04:00

Just a cat. I think his name will be Clancy.

Lenny the Lizard

2007-11-20T17:42:00.000-05:00

Lenny was an awesome toy lizard a dear friend had as a child.
I will be forever jealous.

When Fish Swim in Trees

2007-10-31T17:41:00.001-04:00

I have compiled some more work for my film, "When Fish Swim in Trees".
The tertiary tapir now has a leading role. Some of these poses got pretty sloppy...
The top and bottom ones on the far left will need to be re-worked.

I have to finish boarding the friggen thing... I hate boarding...

A Glory of Goats.

2007-06-25T16:33:00.001-04:00

A tentative baby goat design. I feel that the body is solid, but I think the ears willl need to change as well as the colours.

An uber quick BG painting...

And I mashed 'em all together for a little animation test...

He likes goats...

2007-05-24T20:12:00.001-04:00

I'm slowly developing some context for my phooka. He has an affinity for goats.

2007-04-15T18:15:00.000-04:00

I had an idea for a short the other day, and this is my first attempt to get some stuff on paper for it. This tapir is a secondary character, but he's still got some evolving to do. Any design suggestions /critiques will be much appreciated! I'm going to try to make this focus for the next while

Also,feel free to worship this in the meantime...

SHOOT HAR... SHOOOOOT HAR!

2007-02-09T13:25:00.000-05:00

Just a 10 minute sketchy to celebrate the fact that we are watching Jurassic Park this weekend!

I have a Robert Muldoon crush!

2007-01-18T16:19:00.000-05:00

Just a doodle, but I got dinos on the brain. They've been festering in my mind since Christmas break, when I got an overload of Discovery and their eradictaing ways. Because, dinosaurs now have feathers. As long as the research continues to suppress mishaps like this --> http://static.flickr.com/56/146415529_ceca6e0290_m.jpg I support it!

So long and thanks for all the fish...

2006-12-19T13:29:00.000-05:00

Yangtze River Dolphin. Effectively extinct.

Jamal The Camel - WIP

2006-12-10T18:28:00.000-05:00

This is part of a larger image I'm working on. I'm quite happy with the results so far. Although, I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to do fur at a higher res than 150.

Who does this?

2006-12-09T08:36:00.001-05:00

Some creep in the Court put this wretched doll on the mailboxes. It was probably some cute old lady who put it there, but it was a devious act nonetheless. I know there is quite a few Fatkatters not checking their mail at the moment.

Yoshi fo' real

2006-10-23T17:46:00.000-04:00

I drew Yoshi for our Nintendo Draw Jam. . . I dropped the sneakers and gave him some badass horns, like all the badass dinos have. I didn't finish colouring it though... but I don't want to work on it anymore, so VOILA!

A Life Aquatic - WIP

2006-10-15T18:37:00.000-04:00

This is still a work in progress. I 've managed to create the cliche ominous shark upshot. Still playing with the skin texture and water. Any suggestions would be great.

I got to spend six awesome days back home, in Cape Breton!

This poor fish committed dock suicide.

Sailing on our boat, Adamant in the Strait.

Egypt Falls in Whycogomah.
There was a crazy lady swimming when we were at this beach.
My Spongebob sock having a good time.
My two favorite things in the world, fake horses and tee pees.

Back to art in a few days!

Love yas.

I don't even know myself anymore . . . unfinished, but I'm finished with it.

2006-09-17T18:45:00.000-04:00

Just a wave a la Flash. There's more to this, I only haven't thought of it yet.

Inspired to draw water by listening to "Ocean Size Love"

2006-08-31T06:43:00.000-04:00

I got super lazy finishing this. The dreaded horn duplication. The next version will have more horn cascades and proper perspective on those rings.
Critique and Comments always welcome. Just don't make me cry.

Scaeree Tale

2006-08-17T17:14:00.000-04:00

A phooka design I'm developing, and hopefully painter- izing this weekend.
