Needs more mandibles.

Started drawing a bunch of different head concepts for an crustacean-like alien race. Really just kind of spitballing and seeing what I could come up with for some interesting looking faces. 

I have a couple favorites here, but which one(s) do you like?

I like birds.

There have been a few cardinals around at home recently, just doing bird stuff and taking baths in the eavesdrops (which is adorable!) and I decided to draw them (or at least the male) since they are one of my favorite local birds.

It also got me thinking, are Catholic Cardinals named after the bird or is the bird named after the Catholics? Is the cardinal native to North America or is there a species in Europe?
How funny would it be to have the bird hold an office at the Vatican?

Getting close to the end of 3rd year now.
We where given/assigned some "bonus" work to put up in the Illustration Hall that is supposed to both demonstrate our work and our experience of 3rd year.
So, I made this (finishing it in the wee hours of the morning): it's how I like to work and because I like to draw stylized human hearts when I get depressed, which has been the general tone of 3rd year.
On the upside, I think I'm finally starting to come into my own as an artist with stuff like this.

Deception

 Octopus 1/3

 1/3 of a narrative piece about deception and fraud.
I chose to do a series of images dealing with an octopus partly because it's my favorite animal EVER and so much fun to draw, and because I think it really embodies the idea of deception.

If you would like to see all 3 images in the series, go check out my website at: http://www.behance.net/OctopusIllustration

After 16 hour work day I have finally finished the spot illustrations.
We where given the title of a news story to base our ideas on for this project.
The articles in order are "Number of Americans who Believe the Federal Govornment is Taping their Phone: 1 in 5", " British youth being bullied by text messaging", "1 in 4 dogs are overweight", and "Chances a lesbian couple is raising a family in America: 1 in 4".

Really happy with the first two personally, not so much the last two.
