Samoa Life - Inspired by tattoos from Pacific islanders and even some viking and celtic vibes weaved in. What started out as a pencil sketch from a local art group meetup. This picture is special in that it helped me solidify the confidence as an artist that digital vs. traditional mediums don't have to be that different if you don't want them to.

This art project is also part of the Happy Little Pixels Vol. 1 coloring book which is available via Amazon 

Time lapse video of the artistic process of the piece originally made during the month of July 2018

Here are some zoomed in slices of this project. Showing some of the coloring details and highlights you might miss just looking at the image from a distance.

This project was one of the first projects where I took a traditional pencil sketch and digitized it. Learning to make adjustments along the way along with additions that i wasn't able to do with just the pencils.
