Happy New Year! I mean, I guess I already said that and all, and I was really hoping to get an illustrative work done before a design one, but I ended up with the Sparx Corp logo being my first finished project of 2018. It was a long time coming on that project, so it wasn’t like it was disappointing or anything, but still. I like starting my year off with drawings, don’t you?
This picture started as an Inktober doodle!
Basically the idea behind this picture is simple enough… Azra’s an admitted animal lover. He’s not really super open about this fact, simply because, as an animal lover, people would expect someone who feels so passionately about animals to probably have a bunch of them, right? But Azra doesn’t own any. For the simple fact that it breaks his heart every time they die, and most animals don’t live very long, as opposed to Azra who lives, well as a vampire, forever. So he’s already dealing with the heartache of humans having relatively short lifespans in comparison to his own, but all these mini-heartbreaks along the way of something as selflessly loyal as a dog he just can’t stand to stomach.
Well, it looks like the artist calendar is finally dead. I’m not entirely upset about it — I mean, yeah, I’m sort of bummed that the project didn’t come together this year as it would have normally, but I’m slightly glad of it. It’s a bit stressful and chaotic trying to chase after files and get things settled sometimes.

You may know I participate in Inktober… or, rather, try to participate to the best of my ability. Last year I did some really cool things during inktober, and this year has been no exception! In fact, I thought up my work “Decomposition” for an Inktober one year! It took me a long time to finish because it was so detailed, so I just did a little more work every day. I actually think I came up with some awesome concepts this year though I would have never thought of before. Let me share with you some of my favorite drawings and concepts from this year’s Inktober. If you want to see all of them, check out my tag Inktober2017 on Tumblr.
I’m rather a fan of drawing my character Azra this way. I like drawing him looking almost dangerous but also a tad bit… sexy, in a way. This isn’t the first time I’ve drawn him with his tapetum lucidum or probably the last — a very animalistic trait of his that allows him to see in the dark.
