Hi I'm Dragonbat and this is my portfolio



This blog post is something I use as a portfolio of the illustrations I do.
If you like them, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at


I am an illustrator with years of experience and quite a few commissions under my belt. I am always open to offers of work and I am very flexible.

A foggy day over the castle


Here is a nice picture of a flying horse swooping through the pink magical fog above a castle

I have been away from illustration friday for a little while and it is good to be back. In the meen time I have been working on animations. They are so time consuming.

Animation

I'm animating again, and this time with my own blog new animation blog at http://animationbay.blogspot.com and this is the first animation I uploaded..


One thing that I find annoying about blogger is that it converts animated gifs into jpegs and so renders them lifeless, I'
m hosting the animations at metacafe right now as a workaround. They are a profit sharing alternative to youtube and my stuff seems to get more views as well.

Latest work, produced for a client



Some designs for a client to chose from. The best one will be worked up into a logo.



Update: The client chose the version with a robot as the I in the youtube channel name the logo is intended for ( http://www.youtube.com/user/SimChao ).
I think it's a great idea and I hope they like the finished image. I'll update this post one way or the other. The image here has the dragon bat studios watermark which will of course not be a part of the final logo.

Another interesting promotion option this one is Zazzle

I am always on the lookout for some way to make money from the images I am producing. By the way I decided to start a new sequential art blog, well a comic book really at http://planetskrimshaw.blogspot.com/ and this zazzle thing my just be a good idea
create custom t-shirts at Zazzle

I saw this widget working on the penciljack site and was impressed but it seems to be taking an awful long time to load on my site. No idea why.

Skrimshaw page1


I have decided to start a comic book. It'll be about a colony of robots that have lost contact with human space and who inhabit a planet where humans are a dim memory. What happened to the humans. That's the idea anyway.




It is available on a portfolio website to buy as well, who knows, perhaps it will be a project that I will be able to keep up with. I hope so.

Wrinkles


It's illustration friday time again and here is the illustration I've chosen. The creaturehas interesting lines on it's face. More posts and illustrations.

I'm really enjoying illustration friday, I think it is a great impetous for artists out there.

Imagekind

Here is another site I have discovered who will act as an outlet for my art. This first image I have placed on the site is a nice drawing of a fantasy pirate castle which I have had some positive feedback on over the years.
