I've been drawing on physical mediums for over 25 years, most of which were lost through multiple moves being in the US Army. I'm finally making a switch into digital artwork.
All digital artwork featured here is created by me using Adobe Photoshop, an XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro V2 drawing tablet, and a collection of custom digital brushes developed and refined for my own workflow or downloaded.
I do not use AI generation in my artwork. Every piece is drawn, painted, adjusted, and finished by hand through my own digital process.
To help protect my work once it leaves my hands, I will also use Glaze 2.2 on all artwork before posting it online or delivering completed commissions. This adds an additional layer of protection against unauthorized AI training while preserving the visual integrity of the finished piece as much as possible.
Whether it is personal artwork, book-related illustration, or commissioned work, my goal is to keep the process human, intentional, and original from start to finish.
