Hail Megatron

Drow Warrior

This is a colored version of a commission i have done. I enjoyed it, Having to deal with the reverse of some of the common things, like really dark skin, and light hair. It was one of those things that kept me guessing. This is for a friend who is writing a story about this character.

Using the new inks that i am sure i absolutely love now, I found that more than every I enjoy working on real paper and ink. It is not forgiving at all, but it is very intimate. the one drawback is the scanning process, i just cant get it to where i like how it scans in. the real thing is so much more… real. go figure.

Hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

Avatar Aang!

Finished it! just some simple markers, it needed to be done. Its a little brighter and happier than i originally intended, but, what are you going to do?

This was a bit more difficult than i thought it was going to be. I kept having a charlie brown head! But in the end it all came together. Let me know what you think.

Victor Von Doom

You are in the Presence of DOOM! This is my loving tribute to Victor Von Doom. This is less is Techno master self, and more his arcane magic self. I might work on one that is more of the full attack armor and general bad ass-y-ness custom. Let me know what you think.

and for some reason, i now look at it and think he is holding some very potent cheese. I think he might be doing that, and it might be doom cheese. only the best for Latveria.

real american heros

Had a little flashback to the 80’s. My two favorite charaters in G.I. Joe. Snake eyes (which is every little boys favorite charater from then) and his opposite, Storm Shadow. Nothing cooler than Ninjas. Except maybe pirate ninjas. But i digress. Trying to play with the light abit. Ying and Yang as it were.

I may have gotten carried away with the black. but its all in good fun.

Next up, we will have some more concept sketches. but as always, hit me up if you want some commission work.

LOB-STAR! Johnson.

Its lobster Johnson! From the Hellboy Universe, so if you might want to find out about it. I have been playing around pentel brush pen… the kind the all the greats use. pretty much i know these are sloppy, but its getting use to it. it flows like a brush because it is a brush! now on to our next commercial for things i use. or not.

I have been getting back to where i want to use a lot of blacks in my work. i find it fun and challenging to play with them, see what i can get a way with when i dont want to fully form something. i am sure there are offical art terms for it, but they escape me, because i am not a collector of words, just images.

and insults. i have a vault of insults that i go to when i really care for someone. its not every day you can accuse someone of being a communist witch in cahoots with the inquisition… and that is not even the most valuable of gems.

Let me know what you think.

The Doctor and Companion

Its done! using some Experimental methods to help speed up the process, i have decided to play with the coloring of this one quite a bit. Tried to be less painter, and more digital. I like how it came out, and i have been looking for the an appropriate image to use the glowy effect in.

This if you have not guessed by now, is The doctor, with the last seasons companion. Catherin Tate (she is very funny, looker her up). I am sad to see This doctor go, but i am interested in what the new series will be like. Yes, i have a love of some WHO. I have slowly been working my way thru some of the older shows, spanning WAAAAAY back. so there may be more doctors in the future.

And if your looking for prints, you can pick one up in Baltimore, Oct 10 and 11. Going to be sitting at a table drawing things, come by if you want.

The Demon, Etrigan!

This is another demon work. i tried to reduce some of the details and colors and stuff. i have to say it is a bit different, but i think i like it. I think next time, this would be a place were i need to get a black brush pen. i like working with a sepia color, but it isn’t solid enough in my mind to hold the shadows like i want.

i am pleased about the the loose coloring i did. i think it adds more overall feel of it. May happs i will try some variations of coloring this way, with differnt types of lines and line work.

tell me about it…

Gorilla Grodd

Because you didn’t ask for it, or didn’t demand it, the real deal Gorilla Grodd Commission! Got in in me to do this one up. this one has a guest appearance of none other than the Flash. Not sure if the whole Flash Rogue thing will keep going, but super intelligent apes and there need to rule the world seem to have somewhat of an appeal to me i suppose.

Anyway this one was larger than most, wanted to really get into facial details. any who. questions, comments and what not. all things needed to know. let me know what you think, and get a handy dandy commission of your very own.
