Iconoclast: Backtracking A Bit

So Tao reminded me that I should probably post some of my work on here. I would like to have an alternative showcase other than FA and this gives me more freedom to run my mouth longer on what's behind the art.

Anyways, I started doing some new icons in a new style I've been working on developing, it's heavily based on Tao and even more so Decaf's thick lines though to give myself a bit of credit I have been wanting to develop heavier line art anyways. I've always been a fan of textures and I don't know why I never though of using them in my works in a multiply layer over everything before now but I guess I'll give Tao the credit there, I joke around with him a lot but both he and Decaf are major inspirations to me so have at it Tao, I'm sure your ego will enjoy that one.

Here we have 2 out of at the moment 4 of my newer style icons. First one for Tao and the second for our friend Okie. I didn't feel like cluttering my blog with art you can find on my FA, but I figured I'd post these since they're the two I like the best. I'm especially pleased with how Okie's turned out considering I'd never drawn a dalmatian or dreds.





Also we've got what is so far my favorite badge I've been commissioned for yet. Or hell, art in general. The texture, coloring and everything in this left me blown away, I'm really happy with this because despite the many flaws I always pick out in my work, it serves as evidence to me that regardless of my failures, I'm still improving. Note the Impending Doom-ness of it haha, I'm surprised at how much I made that look like their logo. Badge for my deathcore bro Xan.



Man I sure wish there was some kind of lj-cut-esque html for this site, I tend to have too much to say and I'd like to let my work take up more of this page than my mouth. Oh well.
