āLetās all go to Dragon Land!ā š
First piece for 2024, Dragon Tales!
Made in Sai/Csp (8 hours)
I challenged myself to draw all of the line art with the crayon tool in Sai. It was a bit tough, especially when it came to selecting a small portion of random pieces with the magic wand toolā¦I made it work though.
I was 10 when this show aired in 99ā¦and now Iām 34 and I still watch it for the nostalgia. My first drawing of this was made in 2016, so I redrew it 8 years later.
I LOOOOOOOVE it!

Saphira: āYou can thank Brom for the saddle.ā
Eragon was one of those movies I was exposed to before I knew anything about the books. Of course, after the backlash the movie received (typical) I decided to go ahead and read the books too.
Of course, the books were better. They always are. Books explain things more in depth and also fill in the gaps with information movie media is limited to (usually because of budget)
I enjoyed Saphiraās design in the movie. I enjoyed the movie. Had I not seen it, I wouldnāt have known anything about the books.
I enjoyed working on this piece. There were so many different things I played around with, especially with the textured brushes in CSP.
I hope you like it!

Decided to redraw my Brother Bear piece from 2015. Iām not good at drawing bears, but I thought it would be nice practice, and this piece needed a upgrade desperately.
My initial sketch was a bit disproportionate to what bear anatomy really is. With some help from a wonderful artist, I was able to correctly make the anatomy realistic.
This piece is my first piece that I did the line art completely in CSP. That programs stabilizer is stronger than Saiās. I had a lot of fun making this.
Enjoy!

Draco: āā¦and youāll kill me for sport? And when there are no more dragons to slay, how will you make a living knight?ā
Bowen: āSHUT UP!ā
Dragonheart. It was my first real experience of a dragon in a movie besides the 1 minute debut of Maleficentās dragon in Sleeping Beauty.
The cgi still holds strong, 27 years later.
I loved working on this despite my hand cramping bad. I used lots of texture brushes in Clip Studio. I had to redo a bit of the line work since I wasnāt really aware of the shape of Dracoās belly plates. The reference was a bit too dark to tell.
I hope you enjoy!
Rest in Peace Sean Connery šā¤ļø

Kane: āThe Atlawas want to worship you now!ā
Another addition to my mini TLoS (The Legend of Spyro) series. This is the meetup of Cyril and Kane after the rescue. It was also one of my favorite lands to travel in, inside the game.
Love the fact that Sparx wanted to be worshiped by the Atlawas tribe, I let him have that moment in this piece.
I had fun with this. Lots of greens and blues used here. Lots of quick methods of shading, and lots of techniques applied too. I hope you like it. :)
Wonder who Iāll draw next ?

I completed something today! This is a redrawing of my Digimon piece made back in 2017. Only difference, I did a full body version instead of half body.
Hope you like it. š„

My dog is acutely aware of when Iām down and having a bad day. Whenever she notices me not being myself, she fetches her cheeseburger toy and places it on my lap. She also places it in front of every room I may be in. Iāll randomly hear that little squeak from her toy, and itās just the cutest thing ever.
Freyja will be 7, March 17. The running joke we like to make, is telling people sheās not a German Shepherd sheās an āIrish Shepherdā since she was born on St. Patrickās Day. āļø
She brings me so much joy!
Freyja is a Sable German Shepherd
I love you š
Me whenever I visit someone who has a dog.

My late entry for this years #spyrocommunityday event, featuring Cynder. I wanted to draw her more often, so here she is.
I always wonder about what really goes on in her head after she broke out of Maleforās curse. Does she accept the fact that many saw her as a ruthless dark monster? How many of them knew about her being corrupted? Does she still see herself as such a terror when she looks at her reflection?
No doubt, a tinge of guilt would always harbor over me. I myself would always see me as what I use to be. It would be hard to move on; hard to accept any praise I receive, I would grow recluse and hide in shame. I would just hope I would have a friend helping me get through these darks thoughts, as Cynder does. Maybe Iām into this too deep? Yet, I canāt help but wonder what Cynder is really going through.
Enjoy! Made in Sai/ Csp (5 hours)

S1. Ep. 32- The Flame PokƩmon-athon!
This is a tribute piece dedicated to my late mom. Her birthday is October 23. She would have been 54. Originally, this was a collab between me and Olivia Haines, but I decided to work on this one alone.
I love how this collab began. The two of us teaming up together to work on this over the years and with every collab, weāve gotten better and better. It was so awesome watching ourselves improve every year. Look where we are now! š
My mom loved Rapidash so I drew the episode it debuted in called The Flame Pokemon-Athon.
I dedicate a photo to her on her birthday because Iām full of guilt and regret that I should have abated while she was here. No matter how many pictures I dedicate, it will never fix anything. :(
