The Messenger

It's been a busy spring.

ChickenBrick is pumping out new projects, we redid my website to include Paypal, I've gotten started on an Etsy store and I've been a *tad* preoccupied with the release of Dragon Age 2 and Portal 2. It's safe to say, coffee has been my best friend for awhile.


In between the excitement of the videogames and the reorganization of my office-area (yet again) I tried to find a bit of time to draw. The Messenger is an image that I had been mulling over for a few weeks prior and was happy to finally have a chance to sketch it out.



Not too long into the sketching process, I realized I needed a refresher course in equine anatomy. I spent the next few days drawing nothing but horse heads, horse legs and horse musculature, it was like 6th grade all over again. (Except far more realistic - I hope)



Once I felt a bit more confident in the horse design, I finished the rest of the image and was fairly pleased with the outcome. The full version can be seen on my site :)
