Painted this depiction of Rydia from Final Fantasy IV as a commission. She is highly influenced by Amano’s original character design. Prints are available in my Etsy shop.
Also, prints of many of my gaming themed paintings (including Rydia of Myst) are now available at Level Up Entertainment in the Hamilton Mall.

I’m interrupting the seven deadly sins project for a very sad announcement. Earlier this week, Dorothea Tanning died at the age of one hundred and one. She was a founding member of the surrealist movement. She was an influential in the art world for eight decades. I do not say this lightly, she is my favorite artist of all time. The world is a little less beautiful without her.
Thank you, Dorothea, for doing what you did.

Today’s sin is greed. Despite being perfectly happy and healthy in my apartment, I want an entire house. With a yard, and a garden, and a drawing room (pun intended), and a hot tub, and a bird feeder, and a thousand other things I certainly do not need.
Greedy.

I’ve been painting a lot, but blogging little. To make it up to you, I’ll show some insight into my character. Over the next week or so I’ll post a painting for each deadly sin. The paintings will represent my personal temptations.
Today’s sin is gluttony. I could eat ice cream forever.
Gluttonous.
