Norse Goddess Freya – Pencils

Last artwork of 2016- and this one was TOUGH!!  The chariot, perspective and cats were a challenge to say the least.

I loved how this one turned out, but it was not easy.

Enjoy Freya- the Norse Goddess of Love and War in her cat chariot, with her cloak of falcon feathers and necklace Brísingamen .


SUN WUKONG “MONKEY KING” INKS

The transfer to pen and ink led to multiple changes here- especially with the 4 hands that Sun Wukong has.

Very complex anatomy and angles on a monkey that is “sort of” human…  a challenging project indeed.

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!

Isis and her Sacred Hawks Pencils

Another Egyptian Goddess for my upcoming book series on Mythology… Stay Tuned True Believers…

So what’s the deal here…

#1- Taking back some great work done for a project that never went anywhere and re-purposing it …ask me for the story sometime!

#2- This project is also about taking back the name ISIS!! Isis was worshiped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers. Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship (although in some traditions Horus’s mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children.
