New Painting Series

I know that it seems like I barely finish some of the projects I propose. Sometimes, I don't. However, community pressure is what keeps me working, so the latest painting series is on fire! Here are some images of my current painting series:

Here's the underpainting for the armadillo:

A close-up of his finished little armadillo face. I'm trying something new for me with his skin: painting darker and then adding the highlights and lighter colors... It gives him a pudgy, carved look.

And, the underpainting of the squid. I have to remind myself sometimes that while the underpainting looks awesome, it is still the skeleton beneath a really strong painting.

I also recently finished the Gender Outlaws 2 Comic: Transcension, and a comic for Tristan Taormino regarding proper, sexy, kinky uses for Dental Dams. I can't post those up because they're being published, but keep an eye out for them in various places and ways.

Blogging frequently can be difficult for me because unless I have something significant to show or say, I choose silence for the blog... I use my Twitter and Facebook for much more frequent, smaller art ramblings and postings, for those who are interested:

But don't give up on me here! This is where I post my comics, because the comics always deserve a little more lip service than my other projects...!
