2: Sakura from Street Fighter

 

3: Red Sonja

 

4: Project Ruin (Character Concept)

Thanks for tuning in. Lots of great things brewin around  in my brain right now. I’m excited to get them all down on paper so I can share.

Friday..? Night .. …? Frenzy

Alright gang, sometimes Christmas comes early, and sometimes Friday Night comes late… this is one of those times. Due to abnormal circumstances I was unable to dump yesterday so heres what youve waited for so patiently.

 

1. Project Ruin – Concept for a character of Royalty/Nobility who is capable of more than people know.

 

2. Fanart – Luigi goin to town. Perhaps this is why he gets so little screen time.

 

3. Quick portrait – Lillith (Darkstalkers)

 

4. Quick Portrait – B.B. Hood (Darkstalkers)

 

5. Foreshortening Practice

 

6. Project Ruin – a highwitch (witch of noble descent) (Some inspiration from Poison Ivy), breeding a creepy “children-of-the-corn-like” army to do her bidding.

 

7. Fanart – Samus Aran. I always loved the character and realized its been over a decade since I’ve drawn her so…

Had a hard time findin time this week, but I made it. Stay tuned for more work in progress, and hopefully I’ll get some new completed pieces up here soon too!

Branching Out

Wanted to play a little bit more with loosening up my style and setting more of an atmosphere with a piece so thats what I did this evening after I finished my daily figure drawing. I took pictures along the way so I can share the process.

(Side Note: Not sure why its stretching the images, its never done that to me before, but its 2am so they are staying that way for now. If you click on the images they will show at their correct dimensions.)

Started in my sketch book with a quick sketch:

 

Once I had a decent idea of where I was aiming I switched over to the Bristol board and resketched with more detail:

 

Usually I would ink next, but decided to do some shading first, the thought process being that I could be more efficient with my lines once I had a more solid idea of the lighting:

 

So after loosely shading with Copics I went back in and inked the lines:

 

Finally I went in and did the background:

 

And thats it!

I actually would have gone back through to do hi-lights but my paint brushes are in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping. I think it came out pretty well I already know some things I intend to do differently (like making sure I dont run out of my W3 :P ,  using a wash for the background, planning the background a little more.)

Heres to effort and growth!

Femme Fatales

Heres a series that I started a while ago. Intended to be 4 pieces it took me forever to get to the second piece, (after a few failed attempts.)

The finished products will be 4 movie “seasonal” posters, modeled stylistically off of the old 50′s poster illustrations. The subjects are all woman just before… dispatching… their significant others. Each piece is intended to be fairly subtle, at first look the scenes should seem fairly pleasant, maybe even a little sweet, until you look a little closer.

I threw the first poster together back when I finished the first image, but the poster part was rushed and came out really bad so that’ll be re-done.

Summer:

 

Winter:

Spring and Fall to come. Stay tuned!
