Death Knight
This is a commission for a Death Knight from WOW (world of warcraft). This is also my first kind of foray in to things that smack of fantasy. Its a bit of work, because i want the outfit to be a very detailed.
Now before you hardcore gamers get on me about it, know its only loosely based on anything WOW. i didn’t research outfits or weapons or anything like that, but it was not part of the brief, so it was not required. The only requirement, which i think i have already full filled is that it rock!
So if you would like a commission, just let me know. Rates found on the commission page.

What is is pointing at?
Got inspired by a Deadpool image earlier today, so i just got around to sketching it out this one is a bit different in terms of it has a bit of color. That is really want i wanted to work on, have the coloring be a bit more punchy and screen printy and less painterly. now i know i can man anything sound better buy just adding a “y” at the end of a sentence, but trust me, all these words and terms are real, even if officials of the world word organization refuse to recognize my knowlegey knowlege. So far this is still just spitting out ideas.
For the one person who may read this post, you can comment and suggest what he is saying and pointing at, the funnier the better. Remember he clinically insane like the three stooges were insane. Which is to say they were Brilliant! Now if i actually get feedback i will be amazed. TALK TO MEEEEEEE!

Nobi-fly in your hair
As the title states, this was done in the middle of the night, creative energy’s meet tiredness. Not that its bad, i am very proud of this one compositional wise. figure may be up for comment, but things like proportion and scale are loose guidelines and not really something to be held in the strictest of regards, unless you like that kind of stuff then ohh well. this one was inspired by my lovely wife, and her affection for animals, dogs being the top of that list.
not sure what direction of colors i would do with it, if at all. this is merely a sketch in which i may or may not go forward with the idea. I have to tell you now tho, that it is a strong contender for what i may be working on next. i think though for the short term at least, i will try and produce a series of sketch with the composition and shading roughed out, but not necessarily any more detail. I could also change that up and next post have a completely color sketch.
Stop signs are suggestions, and perspective should be wholly ignored.

Thor and his hammer.
This is a Thor Sketch i cranked out at lunch. I am think about taking it further, but right now i am content with it being what it is. I want to do many more quick sketches so that get in the habit of working on this stuff.
I am not going to be so cocky saying that i will a sketch a day, or a week for that matter. Truly i will make a concerted effort to do work on a consistent basis. also i will try and use the hell out of those 5dollar words. Since Hero’s Con in Charlotte, i have decided to really push illustration and art to that next level. That next level is not necessarily a professional level, but just one more step above where i am at. Right now i think that all i lack is the grind of practice. the doing it until its second nature, like adding a drop shadow in that right place to make a Design client freak out.
To that end, to any who may actually read this blog that’s not my mom, suggest a character, i will do quick sketch lunch time stuff for free! you don’t get a big copy and it will be a small file, but hey, Inspiration is payment enough Right?

Black Flame sketches
Digging through some old sketch books i found a few sketches i would like to share. This one i believe i had been Reading B.P.R.D. for a few months, and as i know i always am with the Mignola-verse, i was truly captivated by the villains of these stories. In fact you may call me a fan because i just did something i hate other people doing which is taking someones name, adding -verse to the end of it and acting like it is perfectly OK to stick in a conversation. Trust me, i don’t do this all the time.
Going through my sketch books, especially the older ones take me back to a time before i knew how to draw. It also seems that i will be looking back at future sketch books for years to come. Hello, my name is Adam, and perspective is my enemy. we fight, and fuss, but in the end, it will prevail where i do not.

I know if you look at the dates you will see that everything seems to always be moving slow. Well thats how it is. I wnat to move faster, I really do, but I also want to swear off caffine. For now I will have to struggle with that balance of using my own power to complete the task. Well see where it goes. Maybe in the future, this post will be so far down the scale that you wont ever see it.
That is a new thought! Posting something on the interwebs that you hope no one will ever see! I will have to give a offical introduction at some point, and hopefully it will be soon, but until then. progress progress progress.
