Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider

Flaming...

Not sure why, but i got it in my head to draw Ghost Rider. I love the way parts of this turned out, and on the other hand i hate the way other parts turned out.

Let me explain. i love the line work of the top, i hate the ink work of the bottom. it is one of the those problems that did not present itself until every thing was said and done. I tried to clean up the blacks in post, but i came to the conclusion that the wash like nature of the blacks added something. I think i need to work on my strokes a bit more(ha).

Well, for your enjoyment. here it is. Comments welcome

Sketch: GALACTUS WORLD DEVOURER

galactus

World Devourer, word.

I am Devourer of worlds, unstoppable and inevitable. I am nether good nor evil, i just am. my herald speaks for me, so hear him. i am Galactus.

He is one of the most odd charaters i know of, and his original incarnation is the only one i can thing of as true. They have tried to update, and make the concept a bit more… Real? but it never works. Galactus to me is a giant purple mofo, who eats worlds. he just is. and here is just me sketch of him. not sure if i will take it further, but i might. you think so? let me know.

Concept… Sage Dog!

A sage dog

Yes, those are antlers

Sage dog is not what I am calling it officially, but it is its code name. I picked it out of nowhere to hide what it really is!

This is some concepting work i stopped to do while working on other projects. I tried to play with a few lighting techniques to get make it a bit more dramatic, and to basically reduce the amount of black i was going to use. I may color this in the future, but really i wanted to work out the tones and that’s it. This was done with mostly pin and ink, with the grays added by marker. i am enjoying working on the smooth press Bristol board more than the vellum. it takes the line better.

let me know if you have any questions.

Its a Turian, sucka!

Turian

Turian, studyed.

As you may be able to tell, i might have come across a copy of Mass Effect 2. I also might have been playing it for large streches of each day. I am really digging the game play and storyline. What i didnt care for about the first game, they fixed, while at the same time, keeping what i liked about the old game. If you have a chunk of your life free, i suggest you play it.

This was just to play around, to break from some work i was doing. i got some brushes and ink and had some fun. I am getting the feel of using a brush to draw with instead of a pen. I still love pens, but i can see the appeal of this process. for those of you that have played the game, this is not any character specifically, just me playing with the race of beings. I might concept some different styles and looks. Let me know what you think.
