Takala, dragon lady concept.

Old demon head concepts.

Some vent art.

Ciaran's dog form... he chooses a pug, as they are adorable.

Concept for a shape shifting character. His name is Ciaran.

And the reboot begins.

As usual I am drawing the pages out of order.

DJ Lenka, Leighra's alter ego. Painted in photoshop:

Vintage style pin up for SATC, a tube website. This is Dr.McKenna. Painted in Photoshop.

New Beginning.

I basically re-painted over the old drawing to get her the way I really want her to look now that I can... you know. Draw better than almost two years ago when I first made it.

Leighra face.

Catia and her seeing eye pug Jamie. And now you know why she generally has her bangs over her eyes.

She's blind. But not all who are blind cannot see.



The sketch to the right is the one I used to make a clean line art and color. I tried new stuff with this one. Also, she reminds me of Tiffany from Bride of Chucky.

Perfect.

And here we finally have Nerone's first phase. A two tailed cat. Bakeneko. Heaven and hell are both open to Leighra at this stage. She's leucistic yet has ablino eyes. That's the beauty part of schizophrenia; nothing is organized or makes perfect sense.

Wait, that's the godawful terrible part of schizophrenia.

Conflation of a bunch of concept art of adult Leighra.

Nerone's human form. She doesn't have blue sclera, that's all iris, like a cat.

I wanted to do something more with the background here (hell, I could always do more with the backgrounds in my background voided pieces), but I didn't, in this case, want to distract from the figure due to limited space. Yet I could have done something cool. Aw well, it's just one concept art. I want to have her down pat before I dive into a comic and decide I wanna change the characters again. :I

She needs a body, and some development. Important character.

The main full body figure was actually a traditional pencil sketch I inked in Photoshop.

Just some jazzed up sketches. I am trying to mix an eagle with a panther so that's where the head formula comes from. Just added some shading and tons of glow for now. May revisit to actually color and add more poses.

While the picture is fairly new, the concept is old. Nerone, the first form in my comic is going to be a two tailed cat. She was originally a snake. Even in my old draft throughout she is a serpent. Her cat form will have the same marking and eye glow though. Same idea and personality, different species. I still like this as a stand alone piece though. Added textures and pretty glow.

Old pencil sketch from 2010.

Old turnaround I touched up and added textures in for Leighra. This is almost a year old now.

Second draft of a painting for the business cards I plan on making. The graphics in the background are other drawings of mine.

Bright Eyes

Para sobrevivir desde el dolor hasta el rompio el corazon, Ud. puede hacer todo que quiere. El mundo es suyo. Y nadie puede tomar lo de Ud.

Wear your scars like a badge.

Viste sus cicatrices como una medalla.

Leighra

Main character for the comic. Her name is Leighra Lenka Suzuki-Proskouriakoff.

Hell hound

Concept for a hell hound delusion of one of my characters.

Lina

This is concept art for a character I am developing and using in a comic that I already have the rough draft for. I changed her look vaguely. She is the mother of the main character who dies and becomes a grim reaper. Her name is Lina Naomi Proskouriakoff. A relatively quick paint. :)
