trying to capture the awe and wonder of the lunar eclipse

A digital Landscape blocked by a red forcefield of something unknown to some area.

Three line drawings of leaves on Guarro paper, 6x9 inches. I later vectorised the gingko leaf and made it into a digital pattern.

Another class assignment. We had to draw the Farnese Hercules' gratuitously muscled torso 4 times from different angles and with different light sources. We had thirty minute time limits. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Medium: Charcoal on newsprint. Time: 30 minutes x 4.

Another cartoon drawn on a whim during my stay in Sheffield.

inspired by Waterboys song

My part in the #Spidersona challenge. This would be me in my universe and my spidersona known as "Night Spider." She is a plus size web comic creator at a small company in Manhattan, NY. She then takes on her vigilante ways as Night Spider. If it wasn't obvious, totally obsessed with the #IntoSpiderverse film.

A recent commission from a patron of mine. They have weekly game #DungeonsAndDragons game nights and wanted all of their original thought up characters in a group shot. I was happy to oblige -- this was both a challenge and so much fun! A total of 13 characters was done, in about 2 1/2 weeks time!

Took some doodle requests off Patreon and got some goodies!

The observational sketch was done in ink. One of my few urban sketches. The grandeur of the entire cathedral was too large for me to capture in my drawing but here's a little of what I did.

Life defying the odds

Stipple by A.f. of retrospect art

Some of these started out as illustrations of masks and developed bodies or other characteristics.

I spent a chunk of my New Years break rendering masks in ink and watercolor. I can't get over their shapes and the emotionality of them.

Beaten mention through words that of a dark age reveal vines that bleed into the hearts of many. To present your reflective waves, to be ridiculed by voices lacking the complete understanding. In thoughts, a depression emerges.

A drawing that began as a simple sketch for practicing emotions. My two characters, Yiska (left) and Volsung (right).

I also make electric field art and post it to Redbubble, Society6, Zazzle, and Threadless as product designs. Try this link if you're interested in this pattern on a dress, skirt, shirt, towel, blanket, or something else: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

An incorrectly oriented version of "London Flora," a watercolor and marker work I did to show many of the flowers I encountered during a three month stay in London. It is available (right side up) as a print on products on Redbubble, Society6, Fine Art America, Zazzle, and Threadless .

Mandela in my usual black and white ink

A very random doodle I did for warm-up while working on commissions. I don't think it helped much other than working with little line work and stark lighting.
