Three explorations of an animated armor character for an illustration I'm working on. Will probably end up with a mix of all of them

Two more metal studies. Polished bronze and tarnished silver! Sharp-ish reflections that show the environment vs dull highlights and discoloration

A second study: rusted iron - Highlights only show up where the rust is worn away - No reflections of the environment - Surprising variations in brightness and hues of the rust - Texture is very important. Again, brushes help - details of iron shining through and holes appearing sell the illusion

Doing some material studies to get rid of the everything looks like plastic syndrome. First off: Iron - Lot's of midtone. Bright highlights. Dark darks - Some reflection of the environment's values - texture brushes help sell the "well worn" look - gradients everywhere

2017 vs 2025. Glad to see I've improved. Interesting to see I enjoyed certain color palettes then already :)

I’ve noticed the way I approach designing an illustration can vary greatly with circumstances. Compare the sketches I made for The Pale Herald, which is personal work, to a sketch I did for Clash Royale.

If you’re looking to start the year of the horse with more horses in your home, may I recommend some of these prints from my shop? (but don’t let me stop you stuffing real horses into your house, of course, if you have the means.)

Your taste tends to outpace your skill, which can lead to dissatisfaction with your art. Look back occasionally to see how far you've come
