Day late, dollar short, etc.

So this was supposed to be a quick sketch to post before Halloween.  Yeah, that failed.
But here it is anyway.  Thanks to Jen for suggesting one of the doofiest (it's a word because I say it is) movie creatures from our collective memories of the 80's.

Fallout-style Japanese robot

Early concept piece for this crazy idea i had.  I have some ideas for the body style, but wanted to get something down now.  This is based on a wacked-out diecast toy from the 50's.  Symbol on the head is the Mon of the Shogun, symbol on chest is the Mon of the particular warlord(actually, it's a current logo for a japanese prefecture.)  This'll have a huge torso and arms for intimidation factor, built on a hover chassis.
I am such a nerd.

Full Nerd

So i got the request to do a "severe businesswoman" drawing for game night.  Game was cancelled, so i drew instead.  The other one is of this character our crew ran into, Oni-chan.  Oni-chan is not long for our game world, he just doesn't realize it yet.  But i wanted to see if i could translate oni-style facial deformations onto something more realistic.  Meh.

Monster Women: #2

Monster Women Magazine presents the lovely Weena, from the George Pal film The Time Machine, released in 1960.  Weena's one of the Eloi, the light-on-smarts but lovely successors to humanity.  ArtRage, minimal Photoshop, drawn on two different tablets.  I've figured out a bit regarding the software, which is most helpful.  Use of color remains...problematic.
As a side note, now I really want to make a plush morlock.  Dammit.

quick self-portrait

  Now if only my beard were actually that tamed...

Monster Women : #1

Monster Women Magazine Presents:  Miss Lucy Westenra, with her pet wolf D.  Been working on this for far too long, finally just calling it.  I get obsessive about...well, everything in an image, so I'm forcing myself to let it go.  Started this about a year ago.  Sheesh.

Started with SketchbookPro, moved to ArtRage, then back'n forth betwixt ArtRage and PS.  Some work on the tablet, some on the main machine.  Full-size is around 13" high, 400 dpi.  I've been making these pretty big (i have various future plans, all of them nefarious).

  Obviously, HEAVILY influenced by old pinups, specifically Elvgren.

Sometimes I have to do a quick(ish) drawing/painting to remind myself that I'm not a complete artistic washout.  This was a couple hours in front of the tv, all in sketchbook pro, on the tablet.  From ref, as usual.  Yes, her eyes and jaw are still wonky.
