"It was a girl called Tinker Bell exquisitely gowned in a skeleton leaf, cut low and square, through which her figure could be seen to the best advantage. She was slightly inclined to embonpoint." -Peter and Wendy, J.M. Barrie. This is a character design of Tinkerbell. #characterdesign #tinkerbell #peterpan #peterandwendy #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #illuatrator #art #painting #paintings #artist #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #commissionme (at BYU)

These are a series of spot illustrations which I made for a card game wirh the working title of "The Mating Game." It is an educational card game to help high school age students understand the biological principle of sexual selection. The cards which I designed represent the biological advantage of "Body Size", being puny, bulky and massive sizes, respectively. #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #art #arist #illustrator #illustration #bear #bears #thematinggame #drawing #drawings #digitalillustration #digitalart #commissionme (at BYU)

This is one part of a commission which I did over the summer. I used washes of acrylic together with a pigment pen on a sheet of heavy water colour paper to achieve the look. #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #artist #art #illustrator #illustration #commission #commissionme #sheep #shepard #sheepherd #acrylic #penandink #connormathewson #connormdoodles #connormathewsonart (at Andover, Minnesota)
