Hello everyone. I haven’t stopped making art, I just haven’t posted any of it here for a long time. The good news is that I’ve got a decently-sized backlog of stuff to show you… and I’m going to be posting weekly again. This is a piece I made for my wife for our anniversary last year. She was very happy with it and it’s now hanging in our loft area. I need to make time for create more finished art. Hope you are all having a wonderful 2018 so far 😊

Hello everyone. Here’s a piece I did over a year ago :)

Dear Tumblr,

I’m sorry that I’ve been such a terrible friend. I’ve been away for far too long. I hope that, over time, you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive me.

As a symbol of my deepest sincerest apologies, here is a little wizard. Yes, I drew him months ago. Yes, I’ve posted him elsewhere on the web. But, Tumblr, no other site has such a refined scan of this image. Only a dimly-lit warped and distorted version taken from the tiny lens of a truly inadequate smart phone exists. You, my friend, are the sole possessor of this digital original. This scan among scans. You should feel truly special. Now you know how much you mean to me.

my sincerest apologies,

Scott

Here are some sketch pages from earlier this year that I failed to share. Four of the pages were done while watching four different movies. At least one of them is probably a little lesser known. Can anyone name them all?

Hey Scott, I have been following you a long time but have only recently really studied your work. Just want to say it is very inspiring. As a character designer myself I can struggle with finding interesting solutions to design problems in work. Looking at your work it seems that you experiment with a lot of different mediums. I tend to get quite tight in my sketchbooks working only with col erase pencils. It might be a boring question but I was wondering what markers and other medium you enjoy?

Mon, 18 Jul 2016 10:29:18 -0600

Thank you very much! No, this isn’t a boring question, I always wonder what other people like to use too.

I recently got an iPad Pro and have been using Pro Create which is quite a nice program… However, I still prefer paper. I use Copic Markers, Prismacolors, Col-erase and do most of my sketching with Blackwing pencils. I also paint with watercolors and gouache. I like the Pentel Pocket brush pen and the daVinci Maestro 35 #4 round for inking stuff.

Thanks for asking!

Hi guys! Here’s a selection of warmups from this past month. Lasso tool and about two brushes. Definitely an enjoyable exercise :)

Here’s another character from a project I worked on last year, with some development doodles trying to figure the character out.

I hope everyone had a great week :)

I know, it’s been a while. Things have been pretty busy lately, but the good news is that I haven’t stopped making art. I think I’m finally ready to start posting regularly again.

Here’s a witch character from a project I worked on at the end of last year. I’ll be posting more characters from that project over the next little while, so look out for those.

Have an excellent weekend everyone!

Even more doodles… In the next few months I’ll finally be showing some more finished work.

I’ve had a series of pieces in mind for a long time involving overweight business men riding prehistoric beasts of burden. Maybe that’ll actually become a finished thing one of these days.

Thanks for stopping by!

One of my favorite things to do in the evening is draw while watching a movie or TV show. Trying to find interesting ‘solves’ for the characters is really enjoyable some how.

The page of marker doodles has nothing to do with whatever show I was watching. Just winding down.

New scans of old stuff :)

And… Before we get too far into November, here’s the rest of my Inktober stuff. I’m not crazy about all of these buuuut, I’m glad that I participated. It really helped me get get moving again.
