Here is some work I've done over the years while I was in college.

Man, Arrival at Nightwood sure would look nice hanging on a wall, I won't lie.
It would be very easy to hang since it was done on canvas. It was an assignment from one of my painting classes where we had to paint using something not traditionally utilized in the process. In this case I used acrylic paint with apple cider vinegar as a solution to thin the paint.

I like the premise of that assignment. Improvising and using what's around you to create something interesting, in lack of "normal" materials. Anything can be art, if you've got vision. Either way, I very much like how it turned out. Did you at least pass the assignment?

I did, and the rest of the class liked it as well. Some said that it was very mysterious, with my instructor saying that it was exciting.

Oh I do like your style Zekel! The Adventure II ones have such a great feel to them. Like most big city areas it feels a bit desolate, but there's also seems to be a promise of a story unfolding.

Also I totally agree with you Katara, that premise is fantastic :3

Here are some portraits I have done of my characters. Each of these were done in a separate medium from acrylic gouache, watercolor and colored pencil.

Here is a little project I did for this year's Halloween, a Frankenstein-esq creation under the working name Kamo. The first picture is done with graphite, charcoal pencils, black and white colored pencils and white conte crayon. The reference sheets were done in watercolors that I made myself using Gamblin pigments and Windsor Newton gum arabic, the first time I have done such a thing.

These were from an assignment in one of my painting classes where we had to do a series of works based on a different dream. Since I mainly have daydreams I did my work based on my thoughts at the time. The first four were made in colored pencil, the last image is done with watercolor.
