On the Rocks

An exercise in stark lines and bold, limited colours. Traditional inks with digital colour. I drew this while watching a Harry Potter marathon on TV while going thru old Joni Mitchell pictures of all things.
Enjoy!

Fun sci-fi robot. The point of this one was to use a limited colour palette. I went with red, white, brown and black. Traditional inks with digital colour.

This is a redesign of a character I conceived way back in high school (or maybe even junior high!) so of course he’s basically a rip-off design wise of popular characters like Batman, Black Panther and DC’s Wildcat. The idea is the character was immortal and dated back from pre0history, so the sabre-toothed teeth came from an actual sabre-toothed tiger. Or at least that was the idea.

Nice little, somewhat retro space girl with minimal colour palette.

Perhaps one of my most complex digital illustrations to date. I tend to do more comic book style drawings as I find I can do them much faster, but every now and then, I try for something more. This was one that turned out quite well.
Started out as a pencil sketch, was scanned, cleaned up in Photoshop with colour done on both my iPad using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop on my trusty old iMac.
Enjoy!

This was originally put together for Threadless contest for Marvel Characters. I chose Black Widow (pretty obvious). While it didn’t win anything, I removed everything that made it the Marvel character. And viola!
Deliberately left slightly sketchy, this piece was done entirely digitally with a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Enjoy!

A fun, cartoonish image of a swordswoman after a battle. Great fun playing with the colours on this one. The line work was all done traditionally with a tiny bit of digital cleanup. All the colour was quickly put in place in Photoshop. Wile a little rough in places, I think this one turned out pretty good. She might show up in some later works…
It was really annoying typing out this article. Autocorrect kept trying to change “swordswoman” to “swordsman”!
Enjoy!

A rare piece of frank from yours truly.
This bad boy is Venger, from the cult 80s cartoon classic Dungeons and Dragons. I was never allowed to play as a kid, but I remember the cartoon being fun, and thinking that Venger, the main bad guy, was pretty cool looking.
