Welcome to my art gallery. Here you'll find various pictures I've done, mostly with photoshop. Many of the brushes used in the pieces are done by Miss M.. They're awesome brushes, and these pictures couldn't have the same life if it wasn't for them. I've marked said pictures with an astriek (*) to show which ones I've used said brushes. This place may not be suitble for those of you who dislike art. Feel free to drop me any comments you have. Enjoy!

This was my first piece of photoshop using the Author sprite. After a very bad fight with my ex, I made this. Inspiration came from the classic 8-bit Theater BM wallpaper.

My second work with the Author. To those that know me, its not hard to realize I still care for my ex. The pain from some recent news struck very hard.

I've had a bit of wanderlust lately, and this piece reflects it. I truly do enjoy the Author with wings, one of my favorite sprites to date. All but the last bit of the quote is mine, the last line belonging to JRR Tolkien.

Anger and sadness caused me to make this. I had a great deal of pain when working on it. I've gotten quite a few mixed replies about it.*

This was one of my final projects for my 2D art class. A friend of mine commented on a vaugely "Ring" look to it. I've never seen the movie, but oh well. Some despair and solitude for this one, since I speant over six days straight working on it. Acrylic paint on canvas.

This was a bit of a request, in a way. Megami from B&G offered the picture to anyone who wanted to CG it, and I did. Its my first real CG, but I think it came out alright. Now to show her...

I recently went through a very difficult time. I needed to get out some anger/sadness, so I did it in art. Plus I just got Eye Candy 4000, and was dying to try it out. I think it came out alright.*

Some left over sadness from the post above. I drew the picture months ago, but this is the first time I've used it. After I finish CGing it, I'll post it here. The lyrics are from a Linkin Park song, aptly named My December.

The robot is a sketch Ian (From Machall) did awhile ago. I've been looking to do something with robots for some time now, but could never think of anything. Browsing through his IOTM gallery, I found this again. Its a quick 800x600 background, but I like the message. Hopefully Ian doesn't mind and won't eat my soul. ;_; *

I haven't actually seen Braveheart yet (Yeah, I know. Burn me at the stake later.), but I love the quote. I've got a deep pride for my scottish ancestory, and to me, that will always be my flag.

I'm a big DMB fan, and I love the Space Between. There is a little pain behind the lyrics, I think anyways. If you've never seen the music video, when the rain comes its absolutely amazing. I wanted to try and recreate that, and I think I did.

This is a background I made for Rockman Neo. Its an amazing flash animation, and the best damned tribute to Megaman I've ever seen. This is the first one I made, and I like it better. What? I can play favorites.

This is the second background I made for Rockman Neo. I don't like it as much, but I still think its pretty kickass.

This is a custom made background for a friend of mine. He's starting a SWG guild, named Black Star Syndicate, and requested I do some of the art. The symbol is a modified Black Sun symbol, mostly because I imagen the "guild" to have traces back to the Black Sun. I wanted to give it that raised metal look, which hopefully I did.

I was extremely angry when making this. Its been a combination of events leading up to me wanting to break something. The sprite is a bit of a preview for you people, as I'll be using it in the strip later. It was a quick, twenty minute piece that people seem to like. Hopefully you guys do too. *

This was my first attempt at using the airbrush to color. I think it came out alright, although I'm not too found of the snow. I wanted little text but a powerful meaning, and I think I got that. If only I could live by those words.
