Sketchbook 1:
This first sketchbook explores much of the basic design behind dewclaw canine anatomy, as well as some pencil work that was used to build my original site interface.

Sketchbook 2:
More detail into canine construction, this display is most notable for showing the basic design of the Nodachi mech head, which is based on the principle that the head of an Akita is a "harmony of triangles."
Sketchbook 3:
My favorite sketchbook to date. Lots of detailed pencils and some of the better examples of dewclaw canine design in action.
Sketchbook 4:
A deeper glimpse into canine body mechanics, as well as some scans showing how animated pieces within panels are laid out on paper.

Sketchbook 5:
The fan-favorite of sketchbooks so far. This collection reveals some of my original concept artwork for dewclaw. For a number of reasons, I decided to change course and focus more on the sci-fi aspect of the story. Most notable difference: tails.

Sketchbook 6:
Probably my second favorite sketchbook. Nice clean images of what my pencils are like before I ink and finalize the work in Flash.
Sketchbook 7:
This sketchbook focuses primarily on the mecha design for the Dotanuki suit. More of this kind of sampling will be coming in the future.
Sketchbook 8:
Here's a look into some of the panels of one of my dewclaw print comic stories. It also features the pencil work of the "Nodachi Cockpit" desktop.
Sketchbook 9:
A "spoiler" sketchbook of sorts, these are examples of a project that predates dewclaw. The thing dewclaw readers might find interesting is the amount of influence this work had on the development of dewclaw in terms of uniform design and character design.
Sketchbook 10:
Yet another "spoiler" sketchbook. Here are a few select images from the "Battle for Hokkaido" storyline as well as the print story, "Little Victories."
