Santiago meets Melchizedek, the King of Salem. One of my favorite parts. :D
Love the style and the boy’s expression!

Tangled concept art, by
Glen Keane
EDIT: THESE ARE BY JIN KIM! Pardon my misinformation!
Flynn from Tangled was going to be huge and Stabbington-sized, in comparison to Rapunzel, to make the relationship seem “accepting”, so Rapunzel would seem less shallow.
As if to teach a lesson that not ALL 16th century urchin thieves (half the populace) were rapists and murderers; general scary mean guys, despite their intimidating looks.
Then, to appeal more to the target audience of female teens and little girls, they made him Prince Charming with a personality, so you know he’s ‘good and pretty’, and there wouldn’t be a societal issue in pairing a 25+ year old ex-con with someone the size of a 14 year old.
And it worked. GG Disney.
I like Bastion’s design, better.
I understand the reasoning behind the change but can’t help but be disappointed. I wonder if anyone’s done a silhouette study of (human) Disney male/female “love story” protagonists; they all have such similar idealized body-types. (On the other hand, protagonists in “friendship” stories are allowed to have amazingly varied silhouettes — granted, most of them are Pixar movies.)
Maybe it’s my intense bias for gigantic dudes with Hellboy shoulders, but I would’ve far preferred this visual dynamic.
your names are DARJEELING “THE CUDDLY” ANTEATER and CORIANDER “MY-OTHER-UNIVERSE-IS-A-CHEWTOY” FOX. you REALLY DON’T HAVE A PLACE YET but you are just going to HANG OUT and GENERALLY HATE EACH OTHER’S EXISTENCES.
CORIANDER WAS DRAWN BY ALI AND IS HER CHARACTER.

Paper Forest Book Children 2011 retrospective!
Around this time last year I started a B/C shop, partly as an incentive to make me practice watercolor. The pets done in October had to be made digitally due to time constraints. The earliest pets started with color pencil lines and used digital pattern overlays, which got dropped once I started getting more comfortable with using watercolor. Most of these took between 9 ~ 12 hours. Stuura (in the chair) took 21. Including City Folk (not pictured here) and pets which have not been sold/revealed yet I made *edit* 42! */edit* pets for the shop last year, which is not a lot from a B/C perspective but from a senior-in-college perspective it’s… probably also not a lot :’V HA HA HA haaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I wish I could post the pets done by guest artists and other artists in the shop because they were AMAZING, but this will have to do! Happy New Year everyone!

Schoolwork. Blood and severed heads (the usual). Sometimes there’s just one thing about a picture (the important thing) that’s all kinds of fucked up so you work 5 hours longer trying to save it, but you can’t. You just can’t.
edit;
Took this to school and it’s not the thing that I thought was wrong with it that was wrong with it (though that is also wrong), it’s the stuff that’s around the thing that’s wrong that’s really wrong. Having peer review really makes a difference! I guess I’ll work it a bit more.
I would totally help out with this. What a fun concept!!Brian Stone the Tattoo Man and Sam Triggs (30 Characters Challenge #12 and #13)
Brian Stone discovered one day that anything he gets tattooed on his body, he can pull off and it becomes a real version of that object. So naturally, he becomes a superhero. Once he pulls them off, they’re gone, so he’s befriended tattoo artist Sam Triggs, who is constantly tattooing things on Brian that he might need while fighting crime.
Brian’s wife died a year into their marriage, and he tried getting her likeness tattooed on himself. But while he could bring it to life, it wasn’t quite human, and it definitely wasn’t his wife. He is tracking the resulting monster, with the intent to put it down, but he doesn’t have the heart to do it, so he isn’t looking very hard.
This is a story I would love to turn into a comic, if I had an artist helping me. Also, I am really proud of my color palette for this.
