The Machinist

Well, I'll admit I struggled with this guy but atleast I got through it. I borrowed a color scheme from the predator. He won't miss it.

R. Mika

I tried to sit down and handle up on my Machinist colors, but didn't get anywhere. So I took a break from it to try and stay productive. I find that if I get hung up on something its therapy to find something that I can more easily deal with. So I broke out a pencil sketch I had lying around of Mika and decided to ink it. I hadn't colored it like I would normaly because coloring just wasn't working for me that day. So I just settled on laying down some flat colors and playing around with a texture. Eventually I'll have them both colored.

Keep forgeting to post

Yeah, I realized that I didn't post something today. Not like I have schedule or anything but it helps to stay on top of things. Who knows for sure who these people are. But they who wear these white mask are supposed to be all sorts of sinister individuals.

Real Gangstas don't burn

Alright, I admit that I had a little fun with this one. Other than the fact that his face is Frylock just putting the flame effects on was a treat. I remember listening to alot of Wu-tang while I was working on this guy. Old dirty bastard was my inspiration. I just felt like he was the right kinda crazy to use as reference while I worked.

Dazzler XXL

Had this sketch sitting on my desk for a while. I got the idea of converting it to vector art back when I was working on my White Wolf work. Its done in the style Bawidamann uses for his pinups. I really dig when people get the most out of vector styled graphics. Vector can seem to corporate at times. When people use it in there own work, I'm often impressed. As for Dazzler herself. I remember sitting at Revolvers old studio and thinking "what ever happened to Dazzler?". I dug her, even as a kid. When Adam Hughes did those Power Girl pinups, I loved them. After that, I decided that if there was a character out there that nobody cared about that I loved, I had to draw them.

The Freaks come out at night

Ok. This was one of my favorites for two reasons. The first being obvious. The second is that when I first put this piece together, I made it a daytime scene with the sun being directly behind the summoner character. I got my notes back and found out that the bandits that are attacking Jade(the archer character) cannot come out in the light of day.(much like Zartan) I had to come up with an answer and remembered the intro to Darkstalkers where John Talbain howls at the moon in the opening. Yep, I used it. Everytime I see that moon I think of him.

Cave Dwellers and a BIGASS'd Dwarf

Another piece I put together for white wolf this year. These were pencils for a comic page. I was told to re-draw the dwarven female be cause she was too "badonk a donk' for the editor. No worries, since its not going to be printed may as well show it on the ole blog.

Pimp Wreckage

Dam!! I thought he looked like he was up to something before in the inks. Now I dunno if he's gonna sing or beat me to death. Prolly both:)

A Swirl of Wyld Madness

Another of the pieces for the Exalted book I worked on. If it isn't obvious by now, I plan on milking my work that I haven't shown till I get some more sketchs done.

The Courtier

This was a piece that I had to put together for a White wolf games Exalted book. It's in grayscale and all the exalted work I have done thus far is also. I always am a bit shy about showing stuff like this on my blog, but its gonna be seen eventually. If it causes a stink I'll take it and any others I post down.
