The Basics


You know, the basics, as in traditional illustration!
Worked out the ol' graphite muscle in these animal drawings.

My favorite by far has to be the Shoebill Stork. What an amazing creature!
It shames me to say that I didn't think this bird existed. The first time I saw it was in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.


They were used as concept in the game and they were fantastic! Later, as I was searching for birds to draw I came upon a picture of a Shoebill. At first I said, "wait...it's a real bird? No, no, somebody must've photoshoped it or something!" but no, It is a real bird. Who ever said games don't teach you anything?

Moving on, I also illustrated a three-toed sloth, and an African gecko.
