A couple recent 8x10 commissions.

Goofy as Sherlock Holmes with Pluto searching for clues.

Goofy as Jacob Marley scaring Scrooge McDuck as Ebenezer Scrooge.

Mahalo for the commission Patricia.

The Drink & Draw theme was Trolls. We all remember the pencil toppers right? Well my mind took it to a dark place....

As Hank Hill would say, "the boy ain't right."

Yes, I actually recorded it if you really want to watch it being sketched.

In sketch mode at jam today. There's something about Photon in the MCU... I can't quite put my finger on it. ;)

Watching "The Marvels" got Kate Bishop stuck in my head so this was me working that out of there.

Trying a leaner, more hippy build.

Metropolis Revisited

I spent the night and a good portion of Saturday in bed, heavily covered to sweat out a bug. When I came up for air I drew this.

I was practicing sci-fi elements again with a feminine aesthetic. Then I thought, hey, make her gold like Futura from Metropolis! And here we are.

9x12 Ink, marker, and pencils on Niltech warm tone paper. Available for purchase. I think I'm going to digitally modify a little and upload to the various print on demand sites.

Trying to enjoy a day off watching Blue Eyed Samurai and drawing this strange piece. It's more playing around with sci-fi elements to try to get comfortable doing it.

I call it Slim Tech.

#scifiart #cyberpunk #cosoart

I've always liked the armor designs in World of Warcraft. This is an attempt to draw something along those lines. If you're unfamiliar, a Drow is a basically a dark elf. They typically have white hair, but wanted her to have darker hair so I cheated on that. There are dyes in D&D after all. 😃

Stardust

"Though the billions of people on Earth may come from different areas, we share a common heritage: we are all made of stardust! From the carbon in our DNA to the calcium in our bones, nearly all of the elements in our bodies were forged in the fiery hearts and death throes of stars."
~NASA

Chilled Royal

Started this at Jam yesterday, woke up and finished it this morning. Based on the title "Frost Giant's Daughter."

Don't ask her to "let it go." :D

#cosoart

Did this at a Comic Jam. More playing around with this heavily textured handmade toned paper.

How does "She has Risen" sound for this?
#cosoart

More putzing with a sci-fi feel and playing with colors. Trying to wire my brain to be able to do sci-fi type details.

Done while killing time at the Comic Jam Hawaii art exhibit at the Downtown Art Center.

The first image I call Digital Gorgon since the look was actually inspired from my previous Medusa/Gorgon drawing.

The second I call Synth Bladesman.

#scifiart #scifi #niltech #cosoart

mind won't shut off so here's what I did to keep me busy for a couple hours. Playing with random patterns and mixing markers and pencils. Plus is more experimenting with the handmade tone paper I picked up.

Let's call it "Magic in the Patterns." Why? I don't know, it just sounds good to me.

I thought I'd try out some homemade paper (link is below). I figured Nancy Downs from "The Craft" would be a good subject to test out this paper. It's also suitably Halloweeny.

Initial impression is that I like the look and feel. The only drawback is it's not great for any sort of rough erasure. But I think I'm going to like it overall.

From a witch themed drink and draw. I got a little too ambitious. Even having a head start of 30 minutes on the pencils I still had to finish the inking after the end of the 2 hour stream.

The coloring was a bit slow too due to the roses.

This is sort of an alternate universe take on the Elphaba where she wins. Think of it as The Wicked Ruler of Oz

The Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw theme was witches. This my AU Elphaba, The Wicked Ruler of Oz. I got a little too ambitious so even with a half hour head start on penciling I still had to finish the inking after the end of the two hour stream. Colors will have to come later.

#SgtStryker #johnwayne #cosoart

I like to do this every now and then. This is a snapshot of about 6 months of drawings. A lot of artists specialize and develop very strong personal styles. Me? I'm all over the damn place. Between weekly themed drawings, random events, and the occasional commission, I draw a wide range of topic. Add to that, that I like experimenting with different things and I end up being a very, very, eclectic artist.

What do you think?

A recent commission of John Wayne as Sgt. Stryker in "The Sands of Iwo Jima"

I copying photos so I sourced multiple images to create something wholly new. An ai generated image helped with the pose. A Sketchfab model helped with proper hand placement. Extrapolated Wayne's head from about 3 or 4 images that were close to the angle I wanted. The fatigues, belts and rifle (M1 Garand) are based on photos from the period. The backpack is entirely made up and not accurate.
#johnwayne #cosoart

Ran a coloring/drawing station for kids today. This something I did to kill the time. Playing around with greebles (random details) in sci-fi type art.

The face I call "Sinister Tech"

The one with the cape scarf I call "High Fidelity"
