Commission for Tegan
This was made as a gift for a Dad’s daughter, Tegan. She’s a fan of Japan, Dragon Ball Z and Card Captor Sakura, so it was cool to get a few references in there with her portrait.
I think this must be one of the few times I draw a seated pose, and I like the colours with this one. Looking back, my only regret is that the shoes should be closed-toe, but like with every picture, you do what you think is right at the time.
Commission for Jessica
This commission was drawn for a friend of Jessica. She needed to look like she meant business and went with a foreshortened perspective with this. I don’t know what the dinosaur bone is about? I’m sure it has some significance.
I’m not a caricaturist by trade so adapting the art I do to look like someone specific but with a manga vibe is always a challenge. Is it possible to convert real people’s features into a simplified and stylized manga form (such as Pokemon, Dragonball) while managing to retain a likeness?
Birthday cake
This anime style portrait illustration was created for a a young family’s twin daughter’s Birthday. Made with the intention of being printed on a birthday cake. I wonder how it looked in the end? Or how it tasted?
