Skullgirls Weekly Tee

The good folks at Eighty Sixed Clothing chose my design for their weekly Skullgirls tee!

A little bit of context: Skullgirls is an indie fighting game that I'm a big fan of. To support further development of the game, the clothing company Eighty Sixed releases a new fan-made tee every week for purchase. "Squigly" is a upcoming DLC character that's currently in development, and will be released soon, so I wanted my design to be based on her.

I feel so incredibly honored and cannot thank them enough for this. If you like my art, or just want to support the amazing development behind this game, you can purchase a tee here:

It’s only available for one week so get it before it’s gone!

Once again, thanks so much to Eighty Sixed and Lab Zero for this amazing honor!

Quick update on what's been happenin'

I really should start updating this thing again. Problem is, I just got a tumblr so I've been updating there recently. You can check it out at lyssaspex.tumblr.com.

Other than that, I'm currently working on some freelance projects, but I've been told to be pretty hush-hush about them. I've also just started attending college classes this semester to continue my education so I've been trying to find time to squeeze in some personal art, but lately the only thing I managed to work on these past few months was entering in a couple of t-shirt design contests at welovefine.com.

Didn't win the Bravest Warriors contest, but Cartoon Hangover reblogged my design which was pretty neat. The Power Rangers one is still unknown.

Also in the works, is a small comic project I've working on. I'm planning on making a series of gag comics based on my experiences growing up on Staten Island. The only problem standing in my way is figuring out a title and a place where to host it. Here's a peek at what's to come:

So all in all, hopefully things will turn around soon. And maybe I can finally get a table at some conventions this year!

In the meantime, look out for any updates on my tumblr or deviantART.

Double Rainbow

Hey, so like, I guess I haven't updated this thing in awhile huh? Damn, where have I been?

Well, over the summer, I was commissioned by a perfume company to do the artwork for a perfume label as well as a few other projects.

But sadly, since I've been so busy, I've had very little time to draw for myself. Well, except for a few sketches here and there of course.

Also, an official website is still under construction. Just been trying to get the hang of Dreamweaver again...

In the meantime, here's something I doodled up in Photoshop the other day :)
Wanted to play around with the brush tools and see what kind of textures I could end up with.
Also, I may or may not have been inspired by this...

Peace out!

Welcome to the Blyssful Spectrum

So I'd thought I'd jump on the Blog bandwagon to showcase some of my artwork.

For my first post, this is a piece titled Astral Waltz

Penciled on 2-ply comic board, scanned, and then inked and colored digitally in Photoshop CS3.
