Crest and finished smodart

So first off, the finished smodart can be checked out over here. If, for whatever crazy reason you should want said art as a wallpaper, you may find a higher res version over here.

Now then, the next project I've been working on is a commission I've had for a great while of a friend's family crest. He's of Chinese ancestry (hence the chinese dragon), and super into heraldry (as the cresting is called), so here it is:



It's 18x22, and was inked traditionally on hot press watercolor paper (pretty much the largest, inkable paper I have). I'm pretty happy with how it looks, and once he approves the inks then I'll start coloring it, probably in painter since he says he wants it to look oil painterly.

Smodart

So Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier of the Smodcast are having this art show at this gallery in LA and there's a contest for fans of the Smod to do an "art of smodcast". Here's the entry I'm working on:

It's kind of a smattering of all things smodcast, and done digitally because I was working my way through the archives while I was brainstorming ideas, and doing it in Photoshop seemed the best thing to do so I could cut/paste thumbnails, move 'em around, resize, etc. The things I've "Inked" so far are Schekkie, the Nazi-engineered weiner dog, the newspaper that's going to have a headline reading "Bryan Johnson: Crazed Shit-Eater", Scott Mosier as "The Scarlet Shrieker", the Harry Potter "Forgeticus" charm, and Kevin Smith and the parasite that takes over his cock and demands blood. Yep, lots of interesting things talked about in smodcast =D
