It’s 2010, and I’m getting ready to change my life forever!

My plan right now is to work my hardest to find employment. I have a promising lead, but just in case I’m going to spend this month applying at various companies for illustration work. Once I know where I can find work, I’ll know where I’ll be moving! It’s probably going to be the west coast. It will be a strange and confusing change, but I’m ready to get out of this state (no offense, Virginia) and make a fresh start. I’m feeling very confident right now.

I have not been producing as much illustration lately because I’ve been swamped with work, and all my free time is going to my new worldbuilding project. This is the only place I will be talking much about Nodr. Today I’m working on some concept art, and hopefully I will be able to find time to do more soon and upload it to its own section of this site’s gallery. It’s basically the nerdiest hobby of all time, but it’s something I am really, really passionate about; I love designing whole cultures, languages and species, and I especially love map-making. When I have some more concrete things to show, I’ll be sure to make an entry about it.

For now, here are some portraits commissioned by the lovely Kate Tonkin. They’re characters from her Victorian novel, which sounds fantastic. Believe it or not, the hardest part of this commission was getting the backgrounds to look distinct from each other. I thought there were more colors in the rainbow…apparently not!
