Last Post/I've Moved

You can now keep up-to-date with my drawings at my art tumblr here.

I have a new portfolio up at Behance, and my illustration work can now be found under the name Acramill, along with my husband Michael's.

Thank you to everyone who followed my work here and provided feedback and comments.

Ourulle Pin-up

Ourulle is my Orion character from Star Trek Online (KDF side.)

I took a few liberties with her jewelry since I didn't get good screenshots for references initially.

She's not sitting on bat'leths, they are just a design element. Don't be silly.

Orion Compositions

DtJ icons vs realism

These are for a book about a woman who goes from a drunk to finding Jesus, but it not quite fixing her life. The author's concept for the cover was a triptych. She's passed out drunk/puking in the first image, then kneeling/praying in church, then in the third there will be an asteroid crashing into Earth (to symbolize disaster.)

I am wondering whether it should be realistic or simplistic iconographs. As it's a non-fiction book, I'm not sure an illustrative look is the right choice. Thoughts?

Crimson Kiss- Page 06

Sample page from Crimson Kiss by William H. Mitchell, based in the Imperium Chronicles universe, of the RPG of the same name.

Page 19 can be found here.

The Kickstarter for the rest of the comic will be starting soon, and I'll post a link in my blog.

Handsome Devil Sketch 01

Stylized sketch of a guy I met the other day at the bookstore. He had cool hair and a nice suit, so I asked if I could take his photo. I want to use his look as the basis for a devilish character. If he had black hair, he would sort of look like Mr. Sable from Good Omens.

I will also be posting a sample page of page 6 when it's finished.

Crimson Kiss- Page 19 Color Test 2

Here is a panel from page 19 of Crimson Kiss. I reworked Ramus (the redhead) to improve his pose, redesigned the spacesuit so it looks less like armor, and increased the contrast.

I think I'm ready to color the whole page now.

Space Marines Cover Background WiP

Background for a sci-fi novel cover I'm doing. I just need to add the figures.

Crimson Kiss- Page 19 Color Test

I still want to add some more dramatic shading and inking, but I figured I'd post a work-in-progress.

Crimson Kiss- Color Flats Page 19

I was hoping it would work with just pencils, but now that I see it, it would probably look better with inked lines.

Promo piece for Austin Mansfield's Legion indie game for X-Box 360.

Crimson Kiss Sketches

I might be working on the comic Crimson Rose by William Mitchell in the near future, based in the same universe as his RPG Imperium Chronicles.  He'll be setting up a Kickstarter to pay for the comic, and when he does, I'll be sure to post a link.  I did some basic sketches to get a feel for the characters before starting.

Ramus, the main character. He has powers that allow him to change his arms into claws.

Fugg, the mechanic.

The sketch on the top right is a cat-alien prostitute straddling a wrench. I'll add it as a tattoo to his arm.

My first attempt at GEN, a general-purpose robot. She's too sexy though.

Some more GEN designs. The final will a combination of the elements in these.

A Parvulian. They are tiny aliens that get around in large mechanized suits.

The Blood Prince. He is of a race like the Drow.

The Girls from Alcyone- Suko Sweeping Hair WiP

As soon as I saw this pose I knew I had to do a drawing of Suko with it. I'm not sure if I should leave it rough like this or refine it.

The Girls from Alcyone- Back-to-back

Sigrid and Suko from The Girls from Alcyone by Cary Caffrey.  Taken from their families at a very young age, they were sold to the Kimura Corporation to pay off their parents' immense debts.  They were then genetically enhanced and trained in weapons to become perfect mercenaries. They quickly become friends and grow to become more. When someone attacks the school, Sigrid and Suko have to fight for their freedom and the lives of themselves and their schoolmates.

Sigrid is the story's main character, and what she lacks in size (she's 5'1.5" compared to the other girls' 6') she makes up for in determination and hard work. Her signature weapons are pearl-handled pistols she took from her first kill.

Suko is the best friend of Sigrid.  She loves anything with a blade, though she's no slouch with a gun either. Sigrid bought Suko a katana from a small pawnshop as a gift.
