Chief Kek-Kek is a rogue who considers himself a gentleman and loves a good joke. Of course, he may find some things a lot funnier than other people would find them. Commission piece in progress for a Zurn Central campaign.

red door
Still playing with doors and watercolors, I guess this comes off as more of a purple door than a red one. But it was red in my head.
In other news, color mixing is hard.
But this piece is up on Redbubble, looks kinda neat on a pillow.

red sails
I painted this in an effort to…well…learn more about watercolors. I was trying to mess around with controlling the depth of pigment in broader strokes, but still deliberate ones, if that makes sense. The water came out kind of cool, but you can see that the ship leaked all over it because I didn’t wait for the ship to dry sufficiently before starting on the water.
The sails were a challenge for me to draw–so many lines and angles! I thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t. I will definitely be drawing Chinese junks again, though, because they are SO COOL to look at.
The road less traveled
The paint was still wet when I snapped this picture. “The road less traveled” does not describe the past 6 weeks of my life, that’s for sure. It’s been one trip after another. I’m looking forward to a little respite in the in the next couple weeks.
Smudging
One of the great things about art is that any time you pick up your tools to play with them, it’s worthwhile. You are practicing. You are learning. Even that time I picked up ink sticks and smudged out a firey horse from memory, trying to familiar myself with the way the colors move and the ink behaves. Even the way water interacts with it when I activate the pigments…it’s all useful. (And relaxing and refreshing, all the wins!)
