Date: 2/18/11

I saw a TV a commercial for a Balinese cultural exhibition that showed a still from what turned out to be a Balinese shadow-puppetry show, with dark silhouetted figures backlit on a screen. It inspired me to produce this.

Phoenix (Strings of Fate)
Image Size: 118 KB, 679 x 822 pixels
Media: pen, Photoshop 5, Painter 5.5
Date: 6/22/01

This is a character from Jen "Tochi" Wang's webcomic Strings of Fate. This is really just a reinterpretation of a piece Tochi did. Several people have pointed out how much she came out looking like an Ah! My Goddess! character; it's funny that it didn't occur to me while I was doing it.

See You Space Cowboy... (Cowboy Bebop)
Image Size: 113 KB, 707 x 574 pixels
Media: Micron Pigma pens, Adobe Photoshop 5
Date: 11/14/00  

The background was originally done in Painter (she's supposed to be reclining on the couch in the Bebop's main lounge), but it looked terrible and I was out of time, so I blurred the heck out of it and covered it up with lots of pretentious text.

Media: pencil, Adobe Photoshop 5

Sith Witch (Star Wars

Media: Micron Pigma pens, Adobe Photoshop 5
Date: 5/00 

This is my take on the design of a "Sith Witch" in the Art of Star Wars Episode I book by Iain McCaig. Doing this piece taught me that lightsabers are actually white, with a colored outer glow.
