Tiger’s Back Mountain, known throughout China as a place where heroes go to die. Why you would want to meet at a place like that, I haven’t the slightest.

scene from a dream. my dreams have gotten pretty strange and disjointed, but they do make nice color scripts, so I can’t complain.

Hey, Wendi. I'm not sure if you get notified when your ASK is answered publicly. So in case you missed it, you can view my response to your storyboarding question on my tumblr.

Hey, Lou! Thank you so much for writing out such a helpful, detailed response. There was a wealth of info in there and I’ll be sure to check out every resource you recommended. I’m really excited to learn about storyboarding! :)

I just downloaded your brushes. Really great set. Thanks for sharing. I know it's not a question, just wanted to say thanks.

You’re very welcome, I’m so glad they were helpful. Most of my art tools & techniques were gleaned from generous artists online, so I’m more than happy to share!

Your art is beautiful! Do you sell prints online?

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:15:00 -0700

Yep, I just sent out an order today as a matter of fact! I’m still working on setting up an online print store, but in the meantime you can just email your order to me. Here are my print prices:
12”x18” - $15 (free domestic shipping on orders over $20)
8”x10” - $10
5”x7” - $5

(And thank you for the kind words!)

Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well

FYI, Korra is doing a little trick I like to call “liquor bending.” (In hindsight, I feel this image is sort of irresponsible… listen kids, you shouldn’t live fast, die young, smoke, or drink!)

I’ll be selling the remaining copies of this print tomorrow at Sakura-con from 10-4. Please feel free to stop by table #415 for any reason!

Gonna be at Sakuracon this weekend (March 29th - 31st), sharing an artist alley table with my friend Robin Sevakis! We’ll be sitting at Table #415, selling charms and art prints. Do stop by and say hello!

You Lift Me Up. (Flame Princess & Finn are the cutest! I am generally inclined to make things as sappy as possible, so this piece came out looking like a dorky Valentine’s Day card)

Will be selling this as a print at Sakuracon THIS weekend (March 29th-31st), hope to see you there!!

Close-up of the last art post, since a few people asked. I’ve also uploaded my current Photoshop brush settings, which features a ton of useful texture brushes for foliage:

You’ll never find another love like my love.

(Been meaning to make Spirited Away art for ages because I absolutely adore this film. I’ll be debuting this as a 12x18 print at Sakuracon this weekend!)

Repose. We all need a quiet place, away from it all.

I think it’s real cute when a friend reads over your shoulder. :>

Will color this one tonight; currently I’m working furiously on prints to sell at Sakuracon this year! More details on that later. If any of you lovely art folks want to meet up, just shoot me a message!

abstract color studies, I’ve been doing these on a semi-regular basis for a while now. I often dream in shapes & colors; it’s a nice break from vivid nightmares.

ConceptArt.org / TAD are stealing artist royalties:

The idea of artists taking advantage of other artists for a quick buck makes me incredibly sad. I’ve purchased dozens of DVD tutorials from TAD & Massive Black, but I won’t be doing it any more.

The Waterfall Goddess of Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨沟), carving out mountains with streams and planting the first tree of the Primeval Forest.

I really want to make a art series about the mythology surrounding Jiuzhaigou…
