So when I started working on DA icon avatars (Yowulf, Koisnake, Isura, Myself) which were commissioned by Yowulf and Koisnake… well, I was drawing these mini dwarves right? And man, once you do four… y’gotta do them all! So I did. I knew it was only a matter of time before I drew all thirteen of those lovely, amazing dwarves. Wow. I love them so much. Also ‘cause the Hobbit means an awful lot to me, I won’t get into it all, but it helped me with a ton of stuff when I was ten. For sure. So I have a lot of personal feelings for it. And the movie was amazing. Ahhh, anyways, so here’s some dwarves and such.

It’d be fun if I could make these into buttons or prints or something. What do you guys think?

BAM! Finally some good art, and some proper fullbody refs of Djuri’s crazy family. Wow, they’ve come a long way since THEN! Ohman, that was almost two years ago now. Ohjeeze. And back then, none of them really had any personality either.

So left to right: Falcor, Sindri, Ulf, Eitri, Djuri.

We already know everything about Djuri really. Uh, and I’m hoping to do proper sheets for her family, so I don’t want to get too into rambling right now. Also not pictured, Benevelen (who doesn’t actually live in the same town). Ah, I also changed a lot about their clothing to suit their growing personalities better. Also I lopped off Falcor’s leg. I’m not sorry.

Alright. These pieces mean a bit more to me.

So these were my for my final project in my last painting class of college. We were allowed to do anything, as long as we did a write up for it. At the time, I was going through a big thing about trying to prove that cartoons are great pieces of art, and my initial idea was to redo scenes from cartoons and movies as final pieces… but there were obviously issues with that idea. So I took the idea, and refined it so I was making final pieces but also remaking famous fairy tales in my own way. Taking the six main Disney movies (in my opinion); Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. I did so much research on them, and found the most important scene from each of their original stories, and tried to show them how they might’ve been if they’d been closer to the books.

I don’t want to go too far into them, since I did these in 2011, but I just really wanted to share them. It was an ambitious project to do six paintings (and these were large too), where I painted the background on illustation board, then printed the digital characters on clear plastic, painted white behind them so they were opaque, then mounted the clear plastic onto the illustration board with black type to make them look widescreen. If that makes any sense… So it was a lot of work, and some I don’t care for… but I’m still in love with the Aladdin one for sure. It’s probably one of my most favourite pieces I’ve ever done.
