Some quick thumbnails for my villain’s secret evil lair! Wanted to try out some new styles and techniques with this. The first image in green is cold drawn with no reference, the second image in red I drew with some architectural references from mid century modern space-age buildings, and the last image I tried drawing over an existing landscape and again used Frank Lloyd Wright houses for inspiration. Interestingly I actually prefer my first cold drawn image, but I feel like I learned a lot from the other two. . . . #conceptart #art #visualdevelopment #visdev #environmentdesign #landscape #layout #evil #evileye #villain #secretlair #evilhideout #solitaryfortress #illustration #procreate #sketch #thumbnails https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmVrs8Dr36/?igshid=s3fgpwm6uxnv

Finally getting around to posting my wedding pictures! It was hard to choose which to post I love them all ❤️ thanks a million to my sister and very talented photographer Lindsey @lindseydeannephotography if you ever need a photographer she’s amazing! Thanks again to all my friends and family for helping to make my wedding happen. When Covid hit it threw all our plans down the drain. But the wedding turned out better than even our original plans and it was truly all thanks to everyone’s help. We are so lucky to have such great people in our lives. Also thanks to Men’s Warehouse for getting my husband looking sharp despite the shutdown and Covid! He was so handsome @menswearhouse . . . #wedding #covidwedding #covid19 #marriedlife #justmarried #covid_19 #weddingmagic #happilyeverafter #weddingdress #tuxedo #blackbyverawang #galinasignature #weddingpictures #weddingphotography #thankyou #blessed https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZfDMqjitI/?igshid=kbae1uth3oy0

Repost! My friend had me redo my wedding dress illustration so I could remember all the positive moments of my wedding. Having a covid wedding was tough for sure. But it was also wonderful! I had so many family and friends support us to help make our wedding happen, and it was truly a magical experience. In all honesty my wedding turned out better than I could have ever planned even before covid happened and I wouldn’t change it for the world. It was a good lesson to remember that even when things look dark, there’s always light to be had if you know where to look. For anyone curious I’ll be posting pictures of my wedding in my next post! Thanks again to all my family and friends who helped make my wedding happen during this crazy time, my husband and I are truly fortunate to have you in our lives 😘 . . . #weddingdress #wedding #illustration #weddingillustration #covidwedding #covidwedding2020 #covid #covid19 #weddingmagic #weddingdrawing #weddingdreams #happilyeverafter #happilymarried #thankyou #weddingstress https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHS8DkjXtX/?igshid=6fsjke34usc1

Taking up the challenge from @diana.sketches to post some of my old school work from 2016! These were homework assignments to create characters that would fit the universe of @dreamworks how to train your dragon. I didn’t realize how much my work had improved until I started looking back! Even so, I still like these drawings. I challenge @cwkleinart @kayelynndrawz.shop and @justineprebich to post drawings from 2016 . . . #draw2016 #chickendragon #characterdesign #howtotrainyourdragon @dreamworkscareers #homework #conceptart #sketch #pencildrawing #pencilandink #nicomarlet #oldtimes #illustration #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hp321DTQt/?igshid=16nel30793bq3
