FAN ART AND COMMISSIONS 
These are works from 1998-1999. Which are some of my more mature works. 
Except for commissions, they are finished CGs. 
The years 1995-1997 are much more elaborate earlier works, which are 
scattered on various other sites out there. 
 
 

FAN ART FOR ZONGTEN  -  THE FIRE GOD -   This one is a fan art for my favorite manga artist.  It's not watercolor at all, but a CG.  I was interested in playing around with  transparency.  And a wet, wet, shirt   seems sexy enough.  Now that I realize it, most of my  work does to various degrees  have a seductive quality to them, don't they?  I prefer white backgrounds.  It's hard to find a proper setting,  when I don't have one in advance.  As a result, I messed up the ones below.  They are too dark.  But then, olive complexion isn't too bad.

THE COMMISSIONS 
These are drawn to the client's specifications. Airbrushed & painted by hand. 
I take commissions seriously, and these do take a week from planning to execution. 
Lots of thought went into these.  
 
 

THE NORIKO MERMAID  - from GUNBUSTER-       Click open the image to see.  This one is my all-time favorite.  The shadows and the semi-transparent  wet shirt over the mini come out well.  This is not a cell work, but acrylic & airbrush  on 11"x14" bristol board.   In the original, the tail shimmers even more  iridescently and is worked in 3 layers of paint.  Come to think of it...  Actually, the entire figure is worked in 3 layers.  There is the base coat, the shadow, and then  the highlight.  Some details needed to be added  on to the 4th layer.  For example, the tail fin is laced over with  white ink lines; same thing with the scales.  I like mermaids. Working on the tail is the best part.  After the basic painting is done, I had to  reink all the black outlines, since the original  outlines were by then all covered up by the  paint layers above it.
