Yup, more practice.

Experiments

I know very little about skintones/color theory, etc. Experimenting to try and figure some things out.

Also a leisurely reprieve whilst trying to recover from a pinched nerve (resulting in shooting pain the length of my dominant arm.

practice continues.  trying different tools than I normally use in Sketchbook Pro.  From ref.

Goofin' off

So, I finished another paying gig a week or two ago.  October-January was INSANE for me, and my recharge plan is essentially "Play Fallout 4 until collapse.  Wake up and repeat."  It's worked, kinda.

These two are both quick(ish), messy sketches from ref photo's.  Drawn whilst watching the new X-Files & hanging out with my family.  Seems that I'm always jumping between work methods; whole bunch of digital, go straight to pencil/pen/whatever.  Too much drawing, go make something in the workshop.  Too many handmade books, go write something.
I'm pretty lucky that I have the space/time/ability to jump between some fairly disparate stuff, as the mood hits.  One more, that is not 40s/50s:

Also building a Fallout 4-related item.  Will update after I get some problems solved.

Happy Halloween

Quick(-ish) piece done this evening.  After spending the last month working on game maps, really needed to get back to something more figure-oriented.

Practice

Just completed another rpg-map gig which means it's time to draw something other than terrain, if only to remind myself that I can.

Monster Women Magazine Trading Cards - Base Set

All nine images in the base set. Clean versions.

Monster Women Magazine Trading Cards....coming real soon-like to a Kickstarter near you.

Monster Women in-progress

Shadow-Lass!  Simply because I wanted to try painting blue skin.

monster women in-progress

From 7th Voyage of Sinbad.  Good 'ol Sadi...I pretended that Sokourah's spell also made her younger.  This was painted specifically for the MWMag lunchbox.  Yes, really.

Monster Woman card-backs

Ahhh, extra (unnecessary?) artwork.  I've been fighting a Silvar painting for months now, and wanted to make sure she was included in this project as "Space Giants" was a very significant influence on my formative years.  I've similarly been struggling with a Satanico Pandemonium painting (on my 3rd version, which still isn't working), so likewise I wanted to make sure she made it in.  Still potentially doing a Princess Aura (mix of Ornella Muti and the old serial version) as well as a Brigitte Helm for these.  We'll see how it goes.

Monster Women in-progress

Clea, girlfriend of Doctor Strange.  Apparently she borrowed his Cloak of Levitation.  No word on the Orb of Agamatto.

Monster Women Magazine Presents: Miss Lucy Ferra!

Okay, so this cover I made up out of whole cloth.  There's a fumetti titled "Lucifera", but that wasn't at all what I was going for.   Also dated this issue for the year & month I was born, since Lucy's my own creation and I have no covers from the 70s planned.   Just wanted to paint an old-fashioned devil girl.
