Hello! I am a 1st year Animation/Illustration Student at San Jose State University.

Hey san jose, cool! I go to the life drawing session there on friday. I like the life drawings, theres a good sense of weight in them.

[Jonathan C]

Thanks KT.

Ive been watching HBO's Game of Thrones. It's one of most visually stunning television shows and the story is soo good, I had to do some fan art.

This is my depiction of Khal Drogo and his wife Daenerys Targaryen.

Khal Drogo is the leader of a forty thousand man army. Daenerys is forced to marry him, She is of royalty so the marriage creates a bond between the army and her royal family. Her son will play a very important roll as he will have the blood of both sides in him.

Some sketchbook pages and a Halloween doodle. Happy Halloween CA! have a fun and safe weekend!

[AdrianNagorski]

Great Scott! loving the amount of work here and how much effort you put into your studies

Game of thrones was a great drama, i like pausing it for 30 seconds and just doing a face or a pose gesture, but at your level i'd say your way past that sort of stuff, i did like the take you did with Kalisee.

[Trixtar]

I totally like your sketchbook
Still not feeling comfy giving feedback on people's skills, but I really like what you're doing here.
And I better start watching that Game of Thrones soon.
Btw, when you say "speed paintings", how long do you spend on a painting?

[Sushy]

Really cool sketches here You should update more ^^

[Kellye]

Love that Halloween pinup girl, very nice! These are very good. Also a big fan of the Game of Thrones fanart, but I'm totally a harlot for GoT.

[Jonathan C]

Kellye - Thank you
Sushy - Thanks, Ill try ><
Trixtar - Thanks Trixtar, I replied in your sketchbook
AdrianNagorski- Thank you, glad you like it
