Malform, Update

This is the my 2nd revision; I'll probably flush out a few more details and the recreate/fix it in Illustrator:

Malform Album Art, Conceptual

My friend Gary is releasing a new album in a week and I'm finalizing the artwork. The title is 'Malform', consisting of 9 songs; the first 8 all different themes, the 9th bringing the themes together into a symphony--and cacophony-- of motifs. I was going for a 'Beast of the Abyss' illustration, highly inspired by a fellow, Hydro74. Here's what I have so far:

Illustration Updates

I've progressed some more on my 'Jolly Green Giantess' and 'Kimi Yuki' illustrations, and have also been working on one of my friend Leeana. Here's what I have:

1. Jolly Green Giantess:

2. Spritely Peachy:

3. Kimi Yuki

4. Jessica's Sketch:

Sketch for Kimi

I've started drawing more pictures of friends of mine and this latest is of my girlfriend's sister, Kimi. Also, this particular illustration is a little more Anime-influenced than anything I've drawn thus far--but I kinda like it. Anyway, here's my progress:

New Sketches - Works in Progress

As I've been sketching more--sketching for sketching's sake-- I realize the majority of my sketches go unfinished and undisplayed. I've always been hesitant to show works in progress but from now on I'm going to make a conscious effort to display all of my sketches.

Here are a few that I'm working, two of which will most likely become finished pieces:

1a. Jolly Green Giant(ess), Sketch - Because who wants a giant green dude roaming around, eh?

1b. Jolly Green Giant(ess) - Painted

2. Tribute to Pete Postlethwaite - This guy was a really forceful and underrated actor who died recently. He is, however, excellent caricature material, no matter how much I respect him.

3. The Little Mermaid, caught - A truly little mermaid gets caught by a dame out to fish. The bikini gal's pose still seems a little stiff, but I may go for a more exaggerated pin-up pose as well as a simple, tropical beach background.
