Why no posts this week?

This has been a very busy week and I cannot begin to tell you EVERYTHING that I have done or that happened as to why I have not posted any pictures. :P haha!

But of the highlights I will say first and foremost:

I AM working on a picture for a contest. Due to the binding regulation of the contest rules I will not post the picture here once I am complete....at least until the contest is over. (I worked on that picture in place of my Illustration friday pic.) Later this next week I will post a link to the contest site.

Other highlights...I am working on a large story (book size) in collaboration with my good friend Amelia (previously I introduced her efforts on her current manga Dowsing). The project is all under the lid at this point, but I finished the basic overall draft! WoHOOOOO! ^_^ I am so so happy! Sigh... I have been working on this for over a year now. X_x wow! Now I just have to take care of the massive final organizing and rewrite....all before the new year! ^_^ haha!

Watercolor Wash.

I feel like such an idiot. Today I was browsing some vintage artists and basic 'how to' in regards to their method and I stumbled upon watercolor wash's. For the past 9 or so years I thought a 'WASH' was flooding the paper with water and then quckly adding color... haha! However I found out that the method I was using is called "wet on wet" and the actual wash creates the effect I have been seeking in watercolor! :P Now I'm not as confused! haha! Hope that you enjoy my pic. It's a post card of Jesus Christ I did for my buddy on mission Josh Kelley, who is in Finland.

Illustration Friday-Blur 日本国

This weeks pic for Illustration Friday!

Recently I've been working on an essay for a contest to go to Japan... ^_^ so Japan has been on my mind. Regarding the art, it is black and white because I noticed that I was spreading the butter too thin with my past few pictures, and wanted to focus specifically on my lines. The picture is 100% traditional; completely ink with no photoshop alterations.
