NEW VIDEO LINK!!! https://vimeo.com/340638155

This is a dance/performing arts video based on my Afrofuturist character designs for Niara Sakho’s clothing line ETO (Embrace the otherworldly) and it also features and my cousin Sarafina Beck (1st performer). It was great working with these two talented artists!

Book 2 is taking shape! Still in early stages, but I’m excited about where it’s going… looking forward to sharing more about it, hopefully sooner rather than later.

(Artwork glitches made by me in the moment, no scripts.)

TONIC (n.) - Badass, cybernetically-enhanced, industro-punk star of the dark future.

A WIP of my previous line-drawing post, this is my newest artwork for Color of a Mirror, featuring my main character!

Really trying to stick to my love of minimal, restricted color palettes (plus leaving it mostly black-and-white fits the noir feel of the book). A lot of work for me to figure out the lighting and materials--and then leaving her cybernetic arm disconnected was a late decision; I really like the asymmetry it provides, but I also love how it fits with her character arc.

This armor she's wearing is part of her concert attire, a reclaimed outer-space exosuit painted in a red-glow-in-the-dark finish. It's a piece of her character that I've always had an idea in my head of what it would look like, and to be able to finally visualize it like this is so much fun.

More progress to come on this.

(Painted entirely in Photoshop, with some 3D lighting reference work in Daz3D.)

If you want to see Tonic's vibe from a music perspective, I have an ever-evolving playlist on Spotify. Periodically, if I hear something new that feels like her, I'll add it in, but overall I try to keep the flow nice.

And if you haven't had chance to read the book, there are still physical copies of the first printing or e-book, both available through my website.

Made this one for a trading card distributed by https://www.starwars-universe.com, the Star Wars french fansite, at Cusset 😊 The posture and proportions are a bit weird but I'm happy with the result😊 made entirely with coloured pencils. I'll try it again.
