Ember McLain Rockstar Energy Ad (Summer 2012)

I wanted to do something new for Ember finally. I also wanted a new Rockstar ad (Penelope's was good, but Ember looks better with that sponsor). So I took a pic from the 2012 Rockstar Energy models calendar (June 2012's) and converted it to an Ember version.

Overall, it came out great. Quality is there for sure, and I went a bit more detailed. Even gave Ember flowing hair down her back...something I don't see too often, but do like seeing it here.

Penelope Spectra Wallpaper

Just a wallpaper I did for myself. Gave Spectra a more laid back look, gave her a can of Rockstar Recovery, and put it on my desktop. Overall, it came out nicely.

I also did it for general practice. Fact of the matter is I want to cut the production times in half...and it's not gonna happen if I constantly change things up with how I make DP art. So the more I do, the more I see what works.

Production time: 9 hours

Remember: TEMS Test Run

Remember: The Ember McLain Story Visual Novel

Possibly one of the largest project I may ever undertake is about to get underway. caferreri11 of DeviantArt and myself have been teaming up for over a year now to work on his story, Remember: The Ember McLain Story (R:TEMS). Ember's song "Remember" from the series has been rumored to give away a lot of her background information. He turned it into a multiple chapter long novel essentially, while incorporating original ideas into a backstory of Ember.

 We thought about converting the story into a flash series at the end of summer '11. But while we both were psyched about the idea, it was really just something to get shelved until life calmed down. It's a lot of work, and something I'm not up to doing in the near future. So I suggested a different idea...a visual novel of the story..

Long story short, my one friend introduced me to visual novels. A visual novel is a story, accompanied with changing backgrounds, characters, sound effects, and music to make the story realistic. You download it, run it, and click through it. It's also a way to see it the way the author did (caferrer11 approves all my character designs).

A site has been made to host the novel:

I hope you all will enjoy the final product.

Johnny 13 and Kitty human forms

Based on a scene from caferreri11's story on deviantArt (Remember: The Ember McLain Story), this is the couple in a hospital scene. Kitty's comforting Johnny after some unsettling news. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so if your interested I think it was in chapter 4 or 5. This was done back in like April '11. Maybe May...unsure. It's on deviantart for a date.

Also updated my blog with a new banner. I'm digging it :)

Ember McLain human form

The first of my DP art, Ember McLain's form from her past life. While I love my new work like her Rockstar ad and some other WIPs I haven't released details on, this is a personal favorite of mine. A lot of her past life fan fics exist, mainly because she is the only character that was given a backstory to work with.

#13 Blood Energy Potion OWR Car

Just a little something I threw together for fun. Blood splatters aren't always an easy concept to work with, but this pulled it off nicely. Blood Energy Potion is an actual drink.
