Robot Girl

During the summer of 2018, there was a hashtag on Instagram called #drawthisinyourownstyle and I wanted to participate. This was NOT my original design, just my interpretation of someone else’s work. In fact, this isn’t even the image I originally posted. I felt the symmetry need some work. This is the final result. About 90% of the work was done on my iPad. Just a basic pencil rough by hand and a bit of Photoshop cleanup afterwards makes up the other 10%. You can see what I had originally posted to Instagram here.

Enjoy.

Elf

An experiment on two fronts. First, I wanted a distinctly female face without it being overtly feminine. Helps with making the elf feel otherworldly. And it was also an experiment with a very quick and dirty way to get some digital colour in without spending a ton of time.

Inks were traditional and colour was all Photoshop magic.

Enjoy!

Sabre

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.

Enjoy!

Eyes up Here

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!

Woman in Red

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!

Swordswoman at Dusk

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!

Commissions!

So, in an effort to give me some more drawing practice and earn a little extra cash, I’ve decided to open up some commission slots!

I’ve attached some examples of what I’m after for now. They fall under 4 main categories: Social Media Avatars, Black and White Sketches, Black and White with one Extra Colour, Digital Painting, and Robots. I have Robots as separate category, as they can get extra finicky and I think that deserves a special price point. All hand drawn pieces will be 8 x 10. Social Media Avatars should have a pretty tight turnaround and will be done fairly loosely – they are generally only seen small and will not have a lot of detail in them. Digital Paintings will take the longest. Notice all the example are waist up or portraits? That’s all I am doing for now.

Please note the prices DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING FOR PHYSICAL PIECES. I will add to the price once we’ve agreed to subject matter and I know where to send the piece.

I also reserve the right to refuse service if I deem the requested subject matter offensive. Sexy pinups are okay, but not nudity. I will also not tolerate anything demeaning to woman or minorities, or anything overly violent or crude.

With the exception of Social Media Avatars, digital flies with be watermarked with my info (name and website).
