Kerrigor

I promised new stuff would come, and here it is! This piece is meant to accompany my earlier rendition of Sabriel.

Kerrigor is the villain of Garth Nix's novel "Sabriel". He is a powerful Free Magic sorcerer and it has fallen upon our heroine to put him through the final gate of Death where he belongs....

Sabriel

My latest piece is a reinterpretation of the cover of  Garth Nix's "Sabriel", one of my favorite books. I know it was a long time coming, but I hope that the wait was worth it!

Bedb

This is the first painting that I did in the semester of Fall 2012 that I was proud of.

It is a piece based off of the goddess Bedb, an Irish war deity.

For many reasons this was a great success; it was probably the most realistic piece that I had done at the time, and was complex because I was doing things that I hadn't ever done before in it. For a few reasons, it was not as good as it could have been due to inconsistencies on my part.

That said, even though I can look at it objectively and see its flaws, it remains one of my favorite pieces, because it was like an artistic "opening of doors" for me.
