Zootopia Fan Art: An Art-Thursday

Had some fun with fan art this week :) Say hi to Officer Clawhauser from Disney's Zootopia! If you have not yet seen it and are a fan of animated features, go see it! It pleasantly surprised me at how much I laughed while watching it.

My fan art digital painting was done on my Wacom Cintiq with Photoshop. Thank you for reading as always, and see you next week!

 

Here is what my initial sketch looks like!

*P.S.- I do not take any claim to Disney's character, Clawhauser! Of course.

Star Wars Night! Art-Wednesday

I just had the need to watch Star Wars! And although I know 'Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace' along with II and III causes a lot of Star Wars fans to go berserk, I can't help but still love Padmé / Queen Amidala! She is so awesome! So I felt an equal need to draw & paint her!

I drew her out first in pencil in my sketchbook, and then took that image into my Cintiq and enjoyed painting her!

*Of course, all rights to the character stays with George Lucas / Lucasfilm / I suppose now Disney! This is just my own fan art.

Halloween Pumpkin Pattern!

A late happy Halloween from my art blog! This was my Halloween 2013 jack-o-lantern! I really wanted to do a pumpkin inspired by Brad Bird's The Iron Giant, 1999 this year. All I could find online were patterns for his silhouette in the forest, which looked awesome but I was afraid it would not last long (large cut-outs and unsupported pieces). So I made this one! He has held up quite well. This pattern works better with a larger pumpkin since the cut-outs are quite slender. When I carved it out, I also cut slightly outside my original pattern lines so they'd glow brighter. I know it is too late for this year, but maybe this can be used by other Iron Giant lovers next Halloween!
