Frogman and Otis

I recently finished a commission for the online comedian: Frogman!
He wanted vector logos done of his dog, Otis, and him with variations.

commissions are open

I'm currently working on building a computer, a solid desktop workhorse, for digital painting and animation. In order to do that though I need to save up a lot. That's why I'm opening up commissions for the time being.

This chart is just for digital sketches/drawings. If you're interested in commissioned pieces for web design or physical printing (such as paintings/tshirt/etc.), this is a different process which I would be happy to discuss via email. 

If you're interested, feel free to send me an email at paigehwarren@gmail.com.

Ms. Graves

Before Christmas, I was commissioned to do a pin-up. I wanted to give her something a bit more elegant but still sexy.

Happy New Year!

Pin-ups

Since the first one was so popular, I sort of accidentally started doing pin-up commissions. I've done three more so far as a promotional thing.

Each of the ladies who won a pin-up loved the end result! Because of that, I've been advertising pin-ups for commission and I'm having a giveaway to get the word out. If you're at all interested in commissioning one or  know someone who would love it, please email me at paigehwarren@gmail.com. Remember: each pin-up order must be PG-13.

heart of hearts

This is going to be a slightly more personal post so if you don't want to deal with that, then keep on scrollin'.

I'm the happiest I've been in years. I'm not exactly sure how it happened or when exactly it clicked but I finally got it. I was making my life (and the lives of those around me) so much harder than it needed to be. Life, and by extension: art, is not supposed to be a back-breaking, epically sober ordeal. If the point isn't to have fun and make the best of all of it, then what good is it? I get to spend every day drawing or painting or hanging out with a group of close friends who care about me. (Legit! They even find it entertaining when I'm being a complete pain!) Even physically, I feel good (healthier food and exercise is pretty nifty)! Heck, I'm not even all that scared of 2012 anymore. I'm really happy. This is not to say that I don't still have down days or "no hug" days but when I take a second to stop and analyze why I'm upset, I honestly know that it is just a passing thing and I'll be fine. Life is good.

And on that note, back to pretty pictures:
(it's safe to read again, scrollers)
This is piece number 4 of the Body Modification series. I kinda messed up 3 and stretched out the back but I was kinda bored of it anyway so this might just end up being 3:I left the easel in there to give a sense of the size without having to get out my ruler (it's late, I'm lazy. Shush.) This is based off of a very real bionic heart which is far from miraculous but still pretty amazing. I still have a lot more lineart to do but since this piece is more about the Art Nouveau aspect of the series, I want to put a lot of energy into the frames. I'll have some more work to post later this week since I'm headed downtown tomorrow to get some scans done on the big flatbed and I have a commission from someone on deviantart that I should probably get done.
