Raina Portrait

Portrait of Raina from thesis. I wanted to start revisiting my thesis characters and possibly start really writing and pencilling my comic "Atelier". This project may or may not happen in the future. This was done in Photoshop CS4.

More Animal Portraits

Moe!

I haven't drawn in an anime style for a long time now and I needed a break from doing animal portraits. So the past couple of nights have been devoted to this little drawing. Trying out a new coloring style in photoshop and really digging it. I'll be posting more animal portraits soon.

Animal Portraits

Animal portraits are now available for sale. You can view some originals at TLC Animal Hospital. Prices as well as contact information are all listed below.

Halloween Costumes and Etsy

Let me preface this with saying that it's rare I post something crafty, but these bows came out looking so good, I just had to post it here. I recently made Halloween "costumes" for my two dogs. It was a mutual decision not to spend money on dog costumes from the store, so I decided to make these cute little bows for them that attach to their collars with elastic. My sister acquired some scraps of fabric from work and I already had the other materials. Here's the result:

Onto another topic, I've recently been featured on two journals of fellow etsy sellers. The first article is about having a Moulin Rouge inspired Halloween party and that can be found here:

The other article was specifically written about me. It is pretty informative and the first interview I've ever done. That can be found here: http://benjaminkrudwig.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/me-likey-miakayuuki06/

Both articles are very well-written and are a good read! I'm honored to have been featured in both blogs. Please check them out!

Dog Portrait

This is a portrait of one of my previous boss's dogs. She's a cute little chihuahua named Kyle. For those of you that don't know, when I was in high school, I used to work at a vet clinic. The first time I went to Japan (before I started college) I used the money I made there to fund half of the trip. My older sister still works there and asked me to paint a portrait of her boss's dog as a birthday present. I happened to have an unused 5" x 5" canvas lying around so I said, "Sure, Why not?" Here's the result of my little acrylic painting.

Here's a photo of the heads of the vet clinic w/ their animals. You can see Kyle in the picture for reference.
