Space Zombie in progress

A piece I'm currently working on, finally got the inks done now to work up the colors and environment!

Some background painting and designs

So I've been inspired by the "Calvin and Hobbes" style by Bill Watterson to do some environments for an upcoming project. Its fun working in different styles.

Some fan art commissions I did at fan expo

Finally got these up, I've been having fun working on these in watercolor, enjoy:)

This one is from "Attack on Titan"

Diablo from "Diablo 2"

Embracing imperfect art

So as an artist who works professionally. I must confess that I do still fear doing bad work. It has gotten to the point where I would just be discouraged from drawing and painting in general, of fear that I will "screw up" the current piece I am working on. This has caused me to have a major artists/creativity block keeping me from moving forward and thus making me feel depressed. So I decided to just paint random stuff, not expecting it to be great, and in fact embracing that it will be quite bad! It felt good letting myself off the hook of not having to create great portfolio pieces or commissions all the time. It feels nice to just do what I loved as a kid. Just doing art not caring how it turns out, if something good comes out, great! if not, oh well. I found by doing these few pieces, I have become more bold with my work. Just embrace the "bad" art! :) 

Update:

Looking back now, as I read the artist's way by: Julia Cameron and follow the practices. I really resonate with the wisdom of this post from 2014!
