Part one of two of the sketch covers for the Kickstarter to LORDS OF THE COSMOS #1 which you can check out here !
Sun Wukong “Monkey King” Pencils
A detour into ancient Chinese Mythology with the fabled “Monkey King”, Sun Wukong, of the tale Journey to the West.
Most of the art for this character is very humanoid, and I wanted to go real monkey, which was visually cool, but really hard with the odd anatomy, especially on the hand-like feet.
Enjoy!
GREEN BERET WITH NIGHT VISION GOGGLES AND HK 416 MACHINE GUN – INKS, CLIENT COMMISSION.
This turned out with the low light extreme lights and darks looks that I intended from the pencils. I always have thought the low light night vision images of soldiers were very dramatic, and I wanted to capture that here. The wrecked building silhouette was something I experimented with in the M.D. Geist art I did here a few months ago. This building outline is more of an integral part of the composition on this piece and this time I went farther with that process than I did on the M.D. Geist image. I think the building outlines in solid black technique is a nice new addition to my inking style.
Green Beret with Night Vision Goggles and HK 416 Machine Gun – Pencils, Client Commission.
A modern day warfare client commission. Very fun piece to do with low light and Chiaroscuro setup for the inks.
“Robot Girl and Ghost” : Realistic and Manga Versions- Submission Pencils
This is a project I was asked to do a few months ago, still in process waiting for feedback prior to inking it from a publisher. I did it in my realistic style, then was asked to make it more “manga” so here are both versions in the pencil phase.
Predator and Hounds – Inks
The textures on the hounds proved the hardest part of the entire inking portion of this project- and the helmet on the Predator was also tricky!
Enjoy!
Predator and Hounds – Pencils
Love the Predator movies so this was a treat to do. From a pencil detailing standpoint the Predator’s armor was a challenge and his hounds were complex as anything you could imagine! Overall the difficulty on this pencil artwork was high, which made the final outcome that much more satisfying!
The hardest part was the foilage of all things, but I went with some outlines and silhouettes to save time and make it look sharper.
THE HUNT IS ON!!!
Robocop Vs. ED-209 Commission – Final Inks
In it’s full pen and ink glory, some of my favorite childhood characters slugging it out…. Who will win?

Robocop Vs. ED-209 Commission – Final Pencils
A technically difficult project I was able to pull off. I have always enjoyed these two characters from 1987, and so far, this has been a fun project to work on!
