Hey all!
Here's the final version of the Veil comic that I've posted previously, I figured given the tariffs that are incoming for print in China and the amount of time I've been sitting on this that it's time to just release it!
I'm working on StarVeil and some other comics too - lots incoming!
Thank you all so much for supp...

Hey!
Hope you're well, wanted to practice the approach I used on the Wizard but some a character a little simpler to see how the speed would go, this is a couple hours - I'm happy considering I didn't try anything I was too hyped on.
The high res of this one is attached!
Thanks as always for your support!

Hey!
Working this one up, found a new approach that I'm very happy with - this one goes all the way back to my MGS painting where I did that watercolor look. I stopped doing that approach because I never really like how the refinement of that approach ended up looking, so now I'm taking the same approach and instead of rendering in Clip St...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I've started work on StarVeil, the script is coming along - here's some concepts, the characters are just doodles now but it's just a matter of working through it all with iterations and silhouettes.
If you like any of the ship designs, let me know!
Thanks!

Hey!
Here's a concept I played around with, playing with a start in CSP followed by Krita and Photoshop and more CSP.
Thanks!

Hey all!
Hope you've been well! Since my last post I've finished the comic and I've worked up a few meatier posts that are up to date with how I've been painting all my works for Diablo IV if you've seen those. This here is my current painting process, simplified somewhat, only because I don't do a full paintover at the end there but other...

Hey!
Hope you've been well! I worked this up today to see if I could take the approach from my Knuckles video process that was up on here and apply it to my current process working on illustrations like the ones I've been doing for Diablo IV. This one was relatively quick, around 3 hours, mostly focused on texture throughout and speed when...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I wanted to share some process for my Vivi drawing as well as my silly Kupo thing - PSDs are attached to this post with all layers intact.
The Vivi is more or less my comic style and the Kupo was me playing around with some more textured brushes for fun!
Thanks as always for your support!

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's a collection of inked pages from my comic Veil that I've been doing during the regular live streams. We're nearly wrapped up on this one, got about 3-4 pages left currently - then it's just a matter of coloring them all up which is the easiest part for me, I get to add in some cool backgrounds and paint around...

Hope you're all well! I'm still hard at work on the comic, there's lots of wild pages coming up that are gonna take a little bit to get right - here's the first of them(the goddess) followed by a few other bigger pages. Once we're done with those things get slightly easier haha - they're doing some heavy lifting conveying t...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's a small batch of the pages I have so far for my "Veil" comic from my StarVeil series, still gotta nail down a name for it - I worked up the story years ago for this one and am finally working my way through to the other side! I'll also be hopping onto other comics going forward from here.
These pages are...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I'm happy to say that I've finished this one - any changes I would've done would have to be addressed at the initial planning stages of the painting - so rather than continue to push and make it something it's not I'd rather move on to the next image and share where I ended up here for you all. Feel free to download ...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's a little update for the Samus illustration and the Gundam illustration - been making some progress on these, definitely liking the less color on Samus but figured I'd also render a version that would be more "commercial" looking as well. I'll post up some process for these once they're done!
Thanks as al...

Hope you're well! Here's a handful of things I was working on recently - some random sketches, comps I started up on and little style experiments!

Hope you're doing well! Here's an original character I worked up for you all, this one is called The Magus - he's a spooky skeleton mage who lives in the belly of the red dragon's corpse, sucking up all that remaining magic dragon juice that's left over.
This was a pretty quick character, I wanted to see if I could take my...

Here's a few images I've been working on, the Naga is a character designed by Mossa(I found the concept via pinterest) - I thought it'd be fun to try a more limited value range on this one as well as incorporating more of my Clip Studio process with the watercolor looking brush(similar to that old Metal Gea...
