I Wish I Had a Dragon... by Jake

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 07:05:00 -0000

I wish I had a dragon With diamond-studded scales, With claws like silver sabers, And fangs like silver nails, A dragon fierce and faithful, Always ready by my side, A dragon to defend me Or take me for a ride. I wish I had a dragon With eyes of shining gold, Who breathed a plume of fire Whenever it was told, A dragon so ferocious It might frighten Frankenstein, But not a lazy dragon Who sleeps all day... like mine! - Jack Prelutsky I'm not sure if this is appropriate for ArtSpots, but I guess I'll find out if it's deleted. :) This was for my Drawing and Design for Illustrators class. It also has an illustrative border, but it's a bit crap. My professor still has it, but when/if I get it back I'd like to touch up the clouds with white acrylic. I sort of flubbed them and had to run with it.

Medium: Mostly marker, some colored pencil.

NeoManta by Jake

Sat, 27 Jan 2007 14:22:22 -0000

Very small drawing that was meant to be an icon, but it doesn't translate to that format well at all. Colors scanned oddly, as well. Neogeen as a maaaaanta ray.

Medium: Colored pencils on toned paper.

Icon Batch by Jake

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:42:09 -0000

Some recently commissioned icons. Something about these looks a bit inferior to some of the others I've done. Less refined. Or something. Don't know. I like the raccoon, though.

Commission for Joecifur, who was wonderfully patient with me. Fedoras? Hot. You know it.

Ref Sheet - Kae by Jake

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:38:21 -0000

I've always wanted one o' these! This was actually done a year ago, for the most part, but I got sidetracked with more important things and didn't get a chance to put it all together until recently. For years, this character was a personal avatar. It doesn't serve that purpose anymore, but still means a great deal to me. I totally forgot the thumbpad on the close-up paw, but I doubt I'll ever bother to fix it.

Serenity Icon by Jake

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:33:10 -0000

Icon commission for 'Serenity.' I was really displeased with this at the time I finished it, but it's since grown on me a lot. Possibly my first *successful* drawing of a cat.

Cesar Icon by Jake

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:29:09 -0000

Icon for 100x100xchnge on LJ. Head is too much in profile and I totally forgot about his mohawk. This is the one of the first icons I did in this painterly style, and it's still among my favorites. Cesar belongs to Evol!
