Force of Nature (First Draft)

This illustration depicts a druid while casting a spell to summon forth the power of the wind and nature.  It was a challenge to get the gust of his hair, robe, and leaves just right, but the end result made it worth the effort.  

I  was not happy this large scale version, so I am currently repainting this in a 14"x 11" size.

Halloween Doodles

These sketches were done in an art journal I had during my my high school years as a teenager.  My photography instructor had us keep a journal and we had to turn in a minimum of 5 pages every week.  The idea was to get your head in your creative side daily.  It was a great exercise, one I should do more often.  I walked on the "darker side" of life during these years and like Ministry's famous song, Halloween was everyday for me.
