Hey!
Hope you're well! I wanted to share with you a couple progress shots for the current pieces I'm working on - the first is something I've been playing around with doing for quite some time - Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam - I was mostly trying to figure out a cool composition to display both Char and the Red Comet without resorti...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I wanted to share a small batch of ideas I've been playing with - firstly, I want to start sharing more of my sketchbook work and try and explore some new concept ideas(feeling the Halloween coming!), I got a wip of a painting I started of a single character shot as well as some looser ideas playing with crustacean i...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's the latest process on the Cowboy Bebop illustration - I'm going to be adding Ed and Ein followed by the ship and some details to the background. So far I'm pretty happy with the progress, can't wait to wrap this one up. From this point on I think my pieces will come together pretty quickly using these steps. I...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Things are coming along nicely with the Cowboy Bebop piece, I've rendered up Jet and have sketched in Faye, Edward and Ein. Also, I included the current progress on Bloodborne - Laurence is basically completed, I now just need to do a pass on the Orphan and render Laurence's hand - but it feels good to essentially ha...

Hey!
Hope you've been well! Here's something I've been working up - I wanted to try and revisit my approach to rendering more anime/cartoon aesthetics into some type of realism. Once I started working in this particular process I found that I could likely apply it to classic anime and make it look rendered without creeping over into uncann...

Hope you're well! Here's the latest update to the Bloodborne piece - finished Ludwig, Maria, Living Failures and am currently working up Laurence's body for the final. Orphan of Kos is the next after that followed by final render on the hunter and the frame - after that's all done I'll paint over the frame and finish with fog and atmo...

I wanted to share with you an update to the Bloodborne piece - the frame is completed and I've started the final paint over for all the characters, feeling positive about this after not feeling positive about it for a really long time!

Hope you're well! This is gonna be a pretty quick post, I painted a realistic Goku, he unfortunately looks a bit like Dr. Oz, but I wanted to share my process! Also, I attached the brushes used and the high res if you want to take a look. I tried to keep my values more in the mid range for this one - at least in the skin. Was fun prac...

Hope you're well! Here's something I've been meaning to do since 2018, this is the start(well, this is the 2nd page) of a short story I wrote/designed/thumbnailed and never got around to finishing. Back then I had some hesitancy about what brush and style I'd use for the final comic - but now I feel like I'm more than ready to knock i...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Been playing with a lot of style ideas for these concepts, I'm really enjoying the process and I think this approach has yielded some decent results - I'm aiming for a homage to the classic retro design books I've seen from Super Sentai shows - I love that marker/pencil look with inks. This one ended up looking more ...

This is something I was working out last night/today to try and experiment with my grayscale approach - I'll do another post with a step by step showing exactly how I got here, but I basically got carried away with a sketch and decided to take it to finish.
