Frost sword raven for Kris! really looking forward to seeing this one healed and settled in, there’s a lot of overlapping grey tones and hues that will really shine once the skin isn’t so red.

one of my fav cover ups i’ve gotten to do lately. lots of subtle warm and cool pigment greys mixed in there to help with saturation and definition.

Here’s five original watercolor pieces ready to be tattooed like so, or altered to fit your tastes.

loose watercolor study (like no drawing loose) for a painting I’ve been working on. trying to have more fun with color, this is mostly different mixes of indigo and magenta. about 3” tall.

I made a flash sheet of Battle Birds a while back and I’ve tattooed a few of them so far. I plan on making more once I’m done with this other flash sheet I’m in the middle of.

Here’s a concept sketch i did that got rejected as a shirt design back in 2019. It’s just kinda lived in the back burner for the past 6 years, but now seems like a good time to do something with it.
