Slowly this thing develops. I had to fix the crotch of the stillsuit and then I didn’t like the arm. Then I started working on the face and unexpected things started happening. Even though they were my original intention, I liked where it was going so I continued in that direction. I liked Villeneuve’s DUNE so I used that suit design as well as the crysknife and sandstorm. For the larger piece I have waiting in the wings, I might make my own design choices for stillsuit and character design. Especially for Baron Harkonnen and Rabban (can I fit Feyd-Rautha in there?🤔)
Anywhere, this is almost done. Another day of drawing and then inking.

I’m not really a details guy, but I keep making the choice to draw things with so many details! I have a new brush coming. I plan on inking in a bunch of this with that.

Ok! Serious attempt at this #Dune piece after dicking around for too long!. I had an idea and even though I don’t love the idea and composition in terms of execution; it’ll be mostly an exhibition of draftsmanship, which I’m not super comfortable with but, that’s the only way I can show off the #TimotheeChalamet caricature. So I did a proper sketch instead of just drawing directly on the board like I’m some sort of “Jack Kirby” or something. Pft!
With that said, while drawing the first sketch, I went for something more in my wheelhouse, an impressionistic montages with an influence from Toppi, Klimt and Mignola. That’ll be my treat for doing a dope portrait! 😁
I also added a couple drawings I kinda forgot about:
A promo drawing of Shani the Wanderer back when I was working on that and (probably) the first drawing of Bug-Man, when I stole my sister’s college notebook and turned it into a sketchbook.
Enjoy.

I saw this manky little motivational video on Insta saying to draw for just 10 mins a day and it’ll make a world of difference. I know that if I draw before my day at work, I am definitely in a better mood.
So I’m sitting in bed with my makeshift drawing board (an idea from @terrymooreart), a bunch of index cards, a mechanical pencil, and extremely tired eyes and I started drawing. Just random shit, nothing great. I can go to sleep now….
… once The Last of Us is finished.

I made a replica #StarWars prop out of epoxy clay. It’s my first time using the stuff so it was pretty slow going. A lot of sanding and sculpting with a dremel rotary tool (so I’m sure my lungs are now how they would have been if I started smoking in high school) and I have a lot of clay dust on my floor.
It was fun!
I’m probably going to donit again. Next time, I thinknits going to be Monster Clay and resin casting so I wouldn’t have to sculpt the prongs individually. Or maybe…
… gasp!…
…3D printer!!!
We’ll see where I go with this. I do like sculpting, though.

I did this to blow off some steam. I’ll have real stuff to show soon.

In the spirit of posting more, I found these copies of a comic book I got printed to convince the writer to print more comics. It so happens that I never sent the books for him to see and my nefarious plan did not come to fruition. Though, having found the books on my shelf, I am reinvigorated in my want to make these books a physical reality!
We have 12 issues of CHOLD OF THE SUN published (on Amazon) and I would like to create a collected book with all the bells and all the whistles that could be put out telling the whole story of Samson and Adriana and Hercules and the Sea People and all these other characters from antiquity mashed up into a fun and, frankly, STRANGE story.
Anyway, this was long. Tell me if you’d like to see more. I did the cover to this issue. It’s probably why I got it printed.

Listening to the casual racism of Babylon-5 while getting ready to transfer some art on bristol, I felt like I really needed to do an ink warm up.
