Time to release more artwork updates! Here are the completed versions of Countess Ivy vs. Countess Crey, StarVyxen vs. NightVyxen, StormVyxen & Woods Cutter, and the Ever After chibis! Bone Momma is up next, and her pencil stage is already complete as well. I plan on busting through these next pieces pretty quickly this week, so be on the lookout for Axe Jack, Gold-Dust Woman, and Ria 2. Enough typing for me today, and back to the art!

ZOMG time goes so fast when I’m drawing! I need to get up to Canada and have a cold beer with my pal Ryan, then proceed to find a bio engineer to make many, many clones of me. Sure that might drive Nakiesha insane, but hey desperate times call for desperate measures right? =)
I must confess I still have some e-mails to return and a few more pieces to ship, but please bear with me. They will be going out ASAP.
Ok now on to the ART! The first piece is the final Countess Ivy /Ghost Widow digital paint. I am very pleased with how this piece turned out and it will go down in history as the piece that took out my Apple Cinema Display *Pours out some ice coffee in remembrance*.
The next piece is a rough of the third and final piece in the Countess Ivy series. In this piece she is basically opening a can of whoopass on Countess Crey. I must have drawn this rough about 25 times, but I’m finally happy with the composition.
Then we have Soul Train! This piece is still in progress and will feature sista Soul Train flying high above Paragon City. The lighting on this piece is going to be wild =)
The final piece in this update features StarVyxen going head to head with NightVyxen. I drew both of these characters individually for layout purposes. The next step is to drop in some colors

YES, back up and running! First I must say R.I.P. to my 23in. apple cinema display. It died on Saturday while I was working on the new Countess Ivy piece, and it was coming out great. I will post my current progression below. After trying to repair my screen to no avail, I decided to purchase a new monitor. All I can say is craigslist.com FTW!
On a more personal note today is March 6th and Nakiesha and I are celebrating eight wonderful years of marriage. She is a great mother, wife, and has supported my art and dreams completely since day one. What more can a man ask for =)
A few days away from my computer and I start suffering withdrawals, so I must get back to art. I hope to have the Countess complete by tomorrow morning. Also if you e-mailed me since last Saturday then expect a response today.

"The piece as a whole, was amazing, I gave you guys a vague idea of what I wanted, and you knew exactly what I was talking about. You communicated very well with us, and replied very quickly. Amazing job with the coloring, detailing, and everything! It was all I expected and more! Thanks so much!"- Wesker & Waves23
