Here's the first page form my school project, a comic essay about the Chinese Room thought experiment. It's gonna be tough getting it done on time, even with such a minimal style.

[(Pi)]

dude, that looks absolutely brilliant! be sure to post it all up when it's done!

[Zest]

Thank you very much! I don't wanna spam this thread, but I will add the next page to it. I'm really feeling confident in this comic.



I must admit, I spent far longer on that joke code than I care to admit.

Flyer design for a friend's crafting club. Really fun, and they've promised crafts for me in return- not a bad way to get paid for a job.



Character line-up for cast from the Lady Blackbird RPG campaign I ran this fall. All that's missing is the titular Lady herself, and then I can start work on the poster design I've been planning for a while.

My WIP of my submission for the EnterVoid Anthology. The type in the sink is gonna be redone to look more liquidy, and the cabinets are gonna end up being filled with all sorts of weapons.

[MyHatsEatPeople]

I love the cover so far Zest! Can't wait to see it finished!

[Zest]

Thank you so much, Hats! I'm gonna be working on the cover for a while, but I can't wait to show the final version when it's ready.

In the meantime, I now hold in my hand a copy of the CD that I did the artwork for. You can actually buy this CD on Amazon, right now. People are actually buying things with my artwork on it- I feel absolutely fantastic.

[Zest]

Hoo lord, it's been a while since I posted in here. To make up for it, here's some fanart.



I was inspired to sketch this late last night after joining Pottermore and wanted to try coloring it this morning. Hufflepuffs have the coolest dorm in my opinion- it's a real shame JK Rowling wasn't able to work it into the books.

[Gibbo]

Hehe, nice... can't go wrong with squiggly magical effects

[Angie]

Nice! Be careful with the brownish yellow tones though, they're looking sort of gray/black in the darkest tones on the image.

[Zest]

Thanks, guys. C: And Angie, by the darkest tones, are you talking about the ones at the top of the page? I totally see that now- would it just be a case of making them more saturated?

[Angie]

Yeah that should work!

[Zest]

Gotcha. C:



Since Hats was awesome enough to draw her Pottermore self and mine as wizards, I decided to return the favor, as well as practice color some more and fiddle with texture brushes.

[MyHatsEatPeople]

BEYATCH

I love you for this, you wrothless hufflepuff you.

[Zest]

Daww, thank ya. C:

BUT AT LEAST I CAN SPELL, RAVENCLAW. Where's all your booksmarts now?

[MyHatsEatPeople]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Zest]

Work-in-progress for a fan project, involving something that rhymes with "Shmonic the Shmedgehog".

[Kinu]

That, and everything else here rocks, Zest.

[Gibbo]

What are these shmonics you speak of, this is a mysterious mystery.  |8B

Dig your style Zest!

[Zest]

Thanks a bunch, you guys. C:

[Zest]

Here's a Work-in-progress illustration for a parody zine about Power Animals. My animal was the Owl, keeper of knowledge and blackmail.

[Zest]

Working on more color samples to use for job applications. This time I'm using FunFetus' excellent Dr. Blight intro comic. Below is the in-progress coloring.

[Charlie]

Dude those are looking pretty solid so far.

[Thresher]

I think if you made the tentacles green and had them kind of dragging the green in with them you'd get some nice colour pacing there! But they are looking real solid.

[Zest]

Thresher, sorry for the hella late reply, but I did change the tentacle, and it totally made the piece better! Thank you. c:

And here's some more color work, this time from a sci-fi horror pitch I found on PencilJack.







The (long expired) job listing asked for a colorist with a painterly style, so I decided to give painterly style a try.
