This is the final inked version of the “Ichabod Jones:Monster Hunter” Pinup for Viper Comics and Author Russell Nohelty. Really thought the Monster’s hand and forearm brought out the creepy element, also the flabby/decomposing left tricep as well really had a nice grotesque skin quality to it.
Another pencil rough for another commission piece for my friends at TPK Games. This is a landscape concept of a place for executions and general sacrifices to evil gods- you know the stuff they blamed D&D for getting kids to kill themselves in the 80’s? Well nothing beats a demonic ritual and mass execution- note the pools of vomit and excrement under the dead people hanging from the trees- technical accuracy is what makes the “evil” so damn “good”- cheers!!
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?
The final inked image of Amon Kadesh and Grizelda the Cat from “Through the Eyes of Grizelda”. Overall I was really pleased with this piece- especially Amon’s left hand on his magic sword!
A look at some of the full color finished art from “Through the Eyes of Grizelda” that will be available soon on this website as an autographed poster. Awesome work all around from Dani Kaulakis (colors) and David Paul (lettering)
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.
My 6 month journey to bring THUNDARR the BARBARIAN to life as a poster with multiple characters from the classic 80’s cartoon is complete- with some great digital editing from Kristen at JARU and some sweet retro lettering from the Prince Of All Lettering- David Paul- this thing looks like it jumped out from a dark and twisted future world… I present to you, my tribute to this classic from yesteryear!
The year, 1994. From out of space, comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man’s civilization is cast in ruin. Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old. A world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice. With his companions, Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword, against the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!
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!
Here is the inked “Villains” side of the Thundarr poster I have been working on for the last 6 months. Some great characters and ink work. I was really happy with some of my experimental textures to have so many over lapping characters look unique and stay separate while bunched up together. I really liked the lizard man’s scales and Gemini’s neck and head device.
