moving the blog

hey ya'll, im moving my main operations form Blogger to Wordpress. I like their layouts a ton more and they feel a bit more professional. Lots of editable stuff, cool layouts and the option to upgrade to a private URL. It's a good place to deal with so far, everyone should check it out!

i like skulls.

a study of a skull. The next drawing i do for degree project will somehow reflect this. I like the linework, im a bitch for brush tip pens.










One part of an ssignment for my conceptual drawing class. I dont have a picture of that (though i will) but i liked the skull and took a picture. la-dee-da.











a detail shot from my first degree project piece. Im still working on it to make it as perfect as i can. The darks will be darker, color will look better. The whole thing measures about 16x20inches and is done in graphite, ink, and soft pastel. My degree project is about the Wild Hunt in Scottish Myth. A procession of beasts and spirits that round up damned souls and take them to hell of use them as soldiers in the hunt. Really its just devolved into a reason for me to draw skulls.
