The majority of my work for Avatar Studios is revision! Here's an example of a revision for Kyoshi Warriors cover. Making sure the characters are on model and fixing the composition. Then later doing some clean up and adding effects etc. #art #freelance

One of my early work at Avatar Studios. Sokka concept for Diamond Select Toys. Christie T. helped settle the gesture pose and I added the details. Not quite happy with his face on the final figure...but still cool to have a figure based on the pose we came up.

So cool! I think these artworks were mostly seen from the ai-upscaled tshirt leaks thats been spreading around. I reworked the vector artworks into "painted" versions seen here! Took months getting the coloring style right 😭 now officially out to the public.

I appreciate KS surfacing just how much of this friction and censorship is due to payment processors and I wish more companies would put this stake in the ground rather than screwing over artists. If every company did this, payment processors would have to buckle.

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
