Spyro, the Dragon - Fan Art

I was asked by some folks on Newgrounds.com to collaborate on a video game piece that displayed fan art of your favorite video game character. I said yes so I did this illustration of Spyro the Dragon, my favorite video game back in the 90s. This character is fan art. Fan art is my interpretation of an existing character. The original character is copyright Sony, Playstation and Universal. I've included the inked outline and the original game cover.

Stir The Waters

Let's stir the waters a bit and see what pops up! This shark is doing a little water stirring of his own. The word of the week for Illustration Friday is "stir". The final piece is the textured version. For those curious to see my process I've also included the non-textured version, the first shark I illustrated before I decided I wanted it to have a more cartoon-stylized look, and also the inked version before coloring. And finally, I did a short animation because I wanted to see him really come to life.

UPDATE: This shark is available at my online shop, The Digi Street, as a digital download for your personal craft projects. Click the image below to take you to that product's page.

Well, Hello Kitty!

Seems like we have a new family member now. She chose us. A few days ago I was making my morning tea when I heard a persistent "meow". I looked out the frozen window and saw this kitten. Next to the meowing kitten was one of our dog's empty food bowl. I knew right away that Dave must have also heard the kitty, and then fed it. Uh oh... Long story short, since the local pet rescue is no longer accepting cats, and since this little girl is SO friendly, we're going to keep her. But she's an outside cat since I'm allergic. We'll do our best to keep you warm this winter, little Macy.

This drawing I had already inked so it doesn't look like the kitten we have. I colored the illustration today. Below is the real kitty.

Update: All three versions are available at my online shop, The Digi Street. Click the image and it will take you there.

This is the vector version without the texture.

This is the inked version.

Raggedy Ann and Andy's Camel

When I was a kid I loved Bobbs-Merrill's 1977 movie, "Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure". This is my first fan art piece and I'm so glad it's of "The Camel with the Wrinkled Knees" who is one of my favorite childhood characters. Since I inked & colored it in Flash CS3, I decided to animate him a little to bring him to life. I added music from the movie. You can see the animated version at my deviantArt page here.
UPDATE: Decided to use this for Illustration Friday's work "Toy".

Barkles 503 Page

This is a commissioned illustration I did for a new social networking company called Barkles. It's a place to share your opinions and get rewarded. The site is launching soon and this illustration is for their 503 error page. It's the page that tells the user that the web site's server is simply not available at the moment. This is usually due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. So their idea was to have their mascot tearing the page to expose the server. They were pleased with the final, as was I. And since this had me busy I decided to also submit it for my Illustration Friday drawing for this week. A little double-duty here. The word this week is "layer". Barkles is pulling back a layer.

Puppy Sweater

What's cuter than a puppy in a sweater? This week's Illustration Friday word is "sweater". I used the photo of a puppy to do a warm-up sketch and get me in the puppy-drawing mood.

UPDATE: This puppy in a sweater illustration is now available in my shop, The Digi Street, for your personal craft projects. You can click on the image below and be taken to that product's page.
