Insight on vulnerability

Text from above:

Insightful though of the day:

Acting like you are stronger then you feel all the time, can be a sure way to feel alone. Letting yourself be vulnerable at times when you need too, can open you up to connection and understanding. 

I've been feeling quite philosophical lately and have come to realize that while strength is valuable, it can sometimes become a barrier we create to distance ourselves from others. 

This is sometimes necessitated in some circumstances to avoid the pain and disappointment others might cause. Though as a result, we end up trying to handle everything on our own.

 Vulnerability of how one feels can be a strength and can invite the right kind of people into your life, where you don't always have to be strong all the time.

My new web comic launch!

Dryad character design

This is a Dryad character I made some time ago. Did some inks and colors on it. Yay photoshop! :D

New landscape sci-fi piece

So this is my take on some sci-fi. It is inspired by the work of landscape painter Thomas Moran. Been doing some studies of landscape painting and then this one kinda just happened...A sign to me to do more studies! I added the sci-fi look with the city in the distance and the space ship to make it resemble a dream I had earlier in the week where I was on a flying machine, flying over a beautiful beach...I miss Cuba!

Fantasy bell tower room

So did a fancy bell tower with magic animals! This is a piece for the book series The League of Elder by Ren Garcia

The evergreens in the snow

Painting study done in photoshop. Been pretty much obsessed with doing environments lately, so here we go another one!:)

Jelly fish and forests

 I was inspired by the beauty of aquatic animals and thus this painting of jellyfish...

These three were for a project for background painting I was doing of forest studies in different styles.
