Niche Ma.K. fan art painting practice

I made this model as a gift for @forkfrenzy.bsky.social based on Dracula from his short “Dang! It’s Dracula”. I modified the suit with an extended vampire collar and sculpted the head with sculpy.

Recently finished Maschinen Krieger model, a desert nomad Melusine with a fennec fox pilot. Wanted to go for a dusty red sand desert look. I’m happy with how this turned out.

How to enjoy drawing again?

Hey #PortfolioDay I've been doing exclusively super NDA stuff for the past 2 years, but my job just ended and I wanna work on a show again. The last thing I did that I can talk about was art direct a Steve Urkel Christmas move!

Levon Jihanian and his family have also lost their home in the Eaton Fire, and their gofundme went live just this morning, please consider helping! Levon has always been a sweet presence at work and incredibly talented artist bringing so much to cartoons. www.gofundme.com/f/help-lila-...

I have drawn a lot of caves on Krapopolis but this one has got to be my favorite. I loved being able to do a deep dive on cave formations. BG paint by Hertz Alegrio and William Schultz, art direction by @mirandadressler.bsky.social #krapopolis #animation #bacgrounddesign

Recently finished this 1:20 scale Maschinen Krieger kit, with a custom sculpted cat pilot. This is a little memorial to a beloved cat who passed away years ago.
