Rate my shirts at Threadless!

I have just recently submitted my t-shirt designs over at Threadless.com. If you would be so kind and could take a couple of minutes to rate them with what you think they deserve, I would very much appreciate it! Also, if you like them, selecting "I'd buy it as a tee" would be super great. You won't actually have to buy anything.

Thanks!

Oh and I finally got this a week or two ago! Time to get crackin'.

Smokey Dude

This was originally a doodle in my sketchbook from a while back. I've liked the look of this character ever since sketching it, so I felt like doing a little something with him.

I recently began using a program called Corel Painter. It's quite an amazing piece of technology that simulates just about every type of paint and paintbrush known to man. I used it to create the background texture for the above cartoon, which gave it a nice contrast, I think. Just by messing around with the wet oil paint brushes and such I was able to achieve a neat effect. I'm still amazed at how realistic it looks!

Gladiator

I've been watching a lot of Spartacus: Blood and Sand lately, so that definitely inspired me to draw this. I've watched the entire first season, and I'm very much looking forward to the next one. However, actor Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) has been diagnosed with cancer this year, so here's to hoping he recovers. We need a season two!

Also, while on the subject of shows, new World War II series The Pacific is turning out to be pretty good as well. It doesn't quite beat Spielberg and Hanks' previous effort (2001's Band of Brothers), in my opinion, but I sure am glad they made more stuff.

T-Shirt Design 2

Here's my second shirt idea, to go along with my previous one. I will most likely be submitting these to some website contest things to see if people would actually want to buy them!

I also used the actual t-shirt design version of this for an Art Jumble topic of unlikely hero.

New Blogger Templates!

Finally! Apologies if you are noticing that the look of my page changes often, but playing around with these new features is quite fun and addicting. I am looking for a design that would help me present my work in a better way.

As always, I am working on some projects and will be posting them in the near future. I have been a bit short on time lately, but I am always thinking about and writing down what I will try next!

Characters from Shapes

This was a fun little exercise. I drew a random shape and tried to create some kind of face or body out of it. I think it actually could be a good way for me to come up with original characters.

Prisoner of War

Inspired by a scene from HBO's Band of Brothers series, I originally painted this for Art Jumble's war topic a couple of weeks ago. Since I took too long to meet that deadline, I am now submitting it for this week's topic of guilty pleasure. I definitely consider one of mine to be war films, and Band of Brothers is a ten-part series. I can never watch just one.

Thor

The topic for this past week over at Art Jumble.
