It took me forever to complete but it did win several awards in a couple of art shows...so...I thought some people may enjoy it. Oils on hard canvas board. Original size is 12 x 9.]]>Cowboy Bebop Halloween Again.. by TerryXarturn:uuid:9f578d58-ed07-7f1d-a1d4-4685bbeb4b842008-09-09T15:25:12-07:00Hey there! I was finally able to restore my old hard drive that crashed a while ago and found some old art. So yeah...it's an oldie...but I thought it was cute. My weak illustration of Spike and Ed. Enjoy!!
edit add: if anyone wants to take a crack at coloring this, I would be honored. Just let me know and I will send a high quality download!]]>Christina Aguilera WIP by TerryXarturn:uuid:41b01c21-c805-15a7-87b6-31ab4e85527a2008-09-01T16:51:30-07:00My current project. Oil painting of Christina Aguilera. The only part finished so far is just her face. I still need to complete her hair, top and background. Oil painting on illustration board. Drawn first in pencil, sealed, acrylic paint base with finished oils on top. Hair, top & background are just base acrylic right now. I will finish these areas with detailed oils.]]>After a Day at the Fair by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:8bac11b6-eed5-55de-278c-3e52da2017c12008-01-16T15:42:21-08:00Wow...
Its been a while!
I suppose I've been busy with school and stuff and upcoming exams (since its my last year and all...
I'll try and post more often...
Anyways, Ichigo and Rukia are going home after an exciting day at the fair
Ichigo carrying all Rukia's winnings of course!!]]>Mad hatter Kenshin! by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:3b5dfc63-c1a6-b6f0-36bb-fc5eaaf70dc72006-07-10T02:43:20-07:00Wooh! Finally! A little later than promissed but I'm back!
I always imagined the Mad Hatter with rabbit ears...No idea why.
(colouring on computers takes soooo flippin' long...)
Why I made Kenshin the Mad Hatter I'll have to figure out later, but I think it has something to do with his outfit violently clashing with his hair!
(clashing colours rock! I wear them all the time....)
...I still can't draw hands...at least these look a little better that usual...]]>Jun's got game! by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:93157df2-b50d-ae28-3eac-a1b129318b392006-06-16T13:38:05-07:00Feeling guilty about my lack of activity iI have posed something to make myself feel better...

This was just a very quick sketch I did of Spike from Cowboy Bebop. I was going to bring it to a complete finished drawing but I liked the rough sketchy feel of the drawing and decided to leave it as is. Enjoy!]]>John Lennon by TerryXarturn:uuid:ecac8020-aa93-faae-f7c2-b7fa712981b52005-12-10T09:35:20-08:00Hi Folks! Since this week was the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death, I thought I would post a drawing I did of him a few years ago. John was and still is very special to me and I still remember the day he died like it was yesterday. Many of the young people here probably weren't even born yet but believe me it was as big as the day John Kennedy was killed. It was a horrible day and I still cry every time I think about it. The reference for this drawing was a screen cap from the movie A Hard Day's Night. It was completed with Derwent soft graphite pencils ranging from 2b to 8b on heavy weight medium textured Strathmore paper. Once again my scanner tends to read the texture of the paper more than the subtle shading so it looks a little rough but I think you get an idea of the drawing. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to answer! Thanks for reading!]]>Cowboy Bebop Thanksgiving! by TerryXarturn:uuid:ae566e42-3601-b33d-cb3f-f0ef179b5e902005-11-18T09:46:39-08:00This was a fun Cowboy Bebop sketch I did a few years ago as a Thanksgiving greeting on my website. I thought since Thanksgiving is around the corner it would be fun to post it. The drawing was done in pencil with color added from PhotoShop. Just a quick fun drawing for Thanksgiving with my favorite Cowboy Bebop characters. Enjoy! :)]]>Dana Scully, FBI by TerryXarturn:uuid:a045c738-433b-5418-23ad-bdf0604048af2005-11-18T09:31:11-08:00Hi everyone! This is a portrait of Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully from The X-Files I did a few years ago. Drawing was done with Derwent graphite pencils ranging from 2b to 8b on medium texture Strathmore drawing paper. Unfortunately, my scanner seems to read the texture more than the subtle shading so it looks a little rough with some shading lost. But I think you get a general idea of the drawing. Feel free to ask any questions and enjoy!]]>Fox Mulder, FBI by TerryXarturn:uuid:0161b5de-95d8-518b-cec1-9dc2ddc45f7e2005-11-18T09:25:01-08:00Hi everyone! Here's a portrait I did a few years ago of David Duchovny as Fox Mulder from The X-Files. Portrait was done with Derwent graphite pencils ranging from 2b to 8b on medium texture Strathmore drawing paper. Feel free to ask any questions and enjoy!]]>JetxSpike, Partners by TerryXarturn:uuid:59137aab-d968-c848-7df5-6890e9d8f0d92005-08-10T18:12:50-07:00This is a work in progress. I'm not big into yaoi but I received a request (and some money, yea!) to illustrate someone's Cowboy Bebop fan fic. This is a preliminary sketch I presented to her and she liked it. So next I have to ink & color and finish the background (right now it's just a VERY rough draft) I threw some mood lighting in with photoshop for now. But I wanted to get some feedback here to see if I should really continue with this piece. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of this genre so it's hard for me to draw. Of course, this is very tame compared to what I've seen *shudders*. Any comments or constructive criticism is welcomed. Thanks for looking. Hope I didn't gross anyone out! LOL!! I also have another pic for the same fan fic coming shortly. You've been warned!! LOL!!]]>Cowboy Bebop -Living in a Dream by TerryXarturn:uuid:afcaa7b3-669d-1dd5-22f1-320490ca6dc02005-08-10T16:48:45-07:00This is a drawing I started a few years ago and never finished. I finally decided to try out my new Copic Markers, Micron Ink Pens and prismacolor pencils and then added some finishing touches with photo shop. The pic is based on Spike's feeling of living in a dream and knowing that he would die very soon. Faye comes to him as an angel in his dream (yeah, I know, kind of corny) but I always felt that under all their fighting and bickering, they really did care for each other. They were just too stubborn to admit it. Just my opinion. I know that Bebop can be interpreted many different ways. Oh well, hope you like it! Thanks for looking.]]>Scuzme and Gir by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:1693ab70-a141-26b9-f3ea-f45527dbf02f2005-08-10T13:28:53-07:00here you go! hope you like it!]]>Me! *again* by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:5b6c5e1e-e958-d4ba-48e6-2b93085265492005-07-03T03:55:36-07:00a more updated, realistic me compared to the first picture of me]]>BURN IT! by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:0906cc66-e494-f555-7cb5-e3f0c60f0db12005-06-25T12:53:03-07:00...not much to say about this either....-_-]]>Hypocrite! by Obsidian_spiriturn:uuid:868028e9-209c-6cec-5146-6a140e1fdf182005-06-25T12:17:24-07:00Annas gonna kill him for wearing one of her skirts....<br />

I haven't been around in awhile and someone asked if I would draw Jolie. As luck would have it, I already had a drawing I did of her a few years ago. Sadly, the scanner picked up the texture of the paper more than the shading. So the delicate shading doesn't show up very well, but I think you get the general idea. Thank you for looking!
