A pencil rough for a commission piece for my friends at TPK Games. This is a decimated party of Elves that have died in the proces of killing a small army of Gnolls (Dog-Men) and some Ogres. Exciting stuff as I wade back into the awesome world of Tabletop RPG artwork.
I’m working on this pinup right now for uber cool writer Russell Nohelty and his current project Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter from Viper Comics. “Ichabod” has been getting great reviews from Aint it Cool News , Word of the Nerd, Fellowship of the Geeks, One Geek Nation as well as My Comic Network. I’m really excited to be a small part of this project and to support the project as a pinup artist as it hits the Comic Con circuit this year in Trade Paperback. Could it be that this humble artist will have a piece at the San Diego Comic Con in 2012?
Thanks to all of the awesome backers from the “Through the Eyes of Grizelda” Kickstarter Campaign- we have been able to fund the project to get it completed, and very soon sent to publishers around the United States! A very old and cool friend, Matthew “Donger” Hammer, donated $150 which entitles him to a personal piece of artwork of the characters from the story- so here is the progress picture of this unique piece of artwork I am creating for him!- Amon Kadesh and Grizelda in their younger days- enjoy! I’ll put the inked update on here when it is done.
This is a pencil sketch I did of my Mom and our new Baby- Blaine Walker Lenox at the NICU in Danville, PA after he was born on Friday the 13th (4/13/2012) with a small hole in his left lung- rest assured true believers, he is all healed up and at home as I write this!
The second page of pencil work for a short story I am doing for the Independent Anthology Book : “The Gathering”. Items of note- I was pleasantly surprised with the hand compositions in panels 5 & 6. Also, this page had 8 panels to get all the assigned story in, I thought I was able to convey it pretty well with as much content that had to be compressed into this space. I also included a scan of my thumbnail as well to show the creative process from where I start on complicated pages.

A page of pencil work for a short story I am doing for the Independent Anthology Book : “The Gathering”. I was really pleased with the layout, and the opening eye on panel #3.

So my “Evil Triumphs over Good with a Satanic Cat Monster” Story with David Paul topped out at a symbolic 13 pages, and with Grizelda getting petted by her consort- the Necromancer. Just makes you get all warm and fuzzy on the inside! Now that the pencils are done, I’ll begin the india ink process once I’ve had a chance to look at the pages for a week for corrections and edits- have any edits or things that you think could look better- please email me, or post with comments and thoughts- thanks!
The penultimate page of Grizelda- The Great Beast transforms back into our little cat/narrator, and the Necromancer celebrates his hard fought victory over the forces of “good”- while going a little more casual at the end of the story.
More of what you’ve come to expect of Grizelda.
More Magic Occult Violent Madness from the Dark World of Grizelda!
