Hey all! Welcome to 2023 🥳
This was the last commission of 2022 for a longtime supporter and friend - Shizu_Kasu over on twitter (and here!)
This is basically their OC Shizu in World of Warcraft DragonFlight guise to be used as a ref guide for future commissions/art trades/YCH etc etc. I don't normally do these charact...
2023-01-08 14:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs the title says... Happy New Year guys and girls! I hope you've had a fun festive period 🎉
It's kind of nuts to me that I've had this little account running for nearly a year already, so with that in mind, what would you guys like to see more of from me in 2023? Be that types of art, different rewards here, physical reward...

One final piece just before the clock strikes 12!
Featuring Phi Rose as a Krampus hunting, Honey Birdette rocking badass with a big knife. She'll kick it's ass.
I did the rough in sketchbook on desktop and then all the line and colour and finishing touches in Procreate on the iPad, so there's a janky timelapse for this one for ...

So this one was suuuuper fun (and naughty!)
Client wanted a secret santa gift for a friend but wasn't quite sure what direction to go in. After reading through some of the likes and dislikes of the recipient I figured a bound position with some toys would be fun. That lead to a little back and forth figuring out the details and...

As some of you are aware I've been out of action with the flu for a week; it's been pretty rotten but when I've felt alright enough I've been working on this piece. It's inspired by a few different things, but initially by a shot from Mercedes (which I can't share here as it's on her subscription page) I've taken it off in it's own directi...

Sorry this has been slow coming; I've been sick with the flu that's going round and it's kicked my ass :(
I wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone for all the support this year, whether here or on other platforms. It's been a shitty year for a lot of us but you guys have stuck with me through it all and that means the world. ...

Super Fan folks had a step by step almost real time update on this piece as I was doing it. It was a fun experiment but if I do it again I'll be sure to schedule it so folks can follow along properly :D
These are the exports that'll be going on socails next week :)
2022-11-27 16:54:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, what are your thoughts on Artstation as a platform? I have a sfw pro account on there that I never use and I'm thinking of transitioning it over to be an HRB account. I thought it would mainly be a gallery and hopefully a place to gain a new audience, but also it'll enable me to sell prints and offer discounts for patrons :...

So while I was away for work I got asked if I'd be interested in doing a charity piece for Movember for a local comic shop here in London. Of course I said yes but I had NO idea what to draw at first. On the second day of the convention I was sat noodling around on the ipad and then this idea of Harley Quinn with a moustache tattoo o...

Hey guys - long time no see, sorry I've been quiet. I've had a week and a bit away for work and I've been ill, plus my family stuff is still going on so it's been a little chaotic here.
Some of you may have seen this on socials a couple of weeks ago - I never got the chance to post it here but here it is at last without IG/Twitter co...

Hey all, sorry this upload is late. I hope you all had a great halloween - to attempt to make up for it, everyone gets the high res versions of these 2 outfits (I know it's not much of a consolation prize, but there's not much else I have right now 😭)
Of these two outfits, which one's your favourite?

New piece for Mercedes! She's taking part in a boxing event this weekend and I wanted to do something to celebrate that side of her. My idea was to do a super amped up almost video game version of her, and that informed the presentation too - super slick, glossy, and over the top. She thinks she looks a little Rhonda Rousey esq...

This was the original idea for the save a horse joke. sort of. it went through loads of changes and I struggled with getting the style to work for over a year, but here we are - a cowgirl on a big... yeah. can't say it for platform reasons lol.
I'm still not sure if the third version will go public, but we'll see. :...

Soooo this was a blast! They said to me "You like Lara Croft right? And you've done a few latex illustrations lately... How would you like to combine the two?"
I was like "You had me at Lara" 😅
This had the potential to be a real struggle, tattoos, shiny surfaces, crazy lighting and a likeness I've struggled to g...

The last Dai Jin commission went down so well with the client they asked for another, this time in a new outfit with a new weapon and all sorts.
I'm liking the direction my style is going lately, even though it takes a good day just to do the inking.
What do you think? Do you prefer the slightly looser 'pencil' style, or these ...

Commission for a good friend of mine to celebrate Jennifer Wilde passing 10,000 followers over on instagram.
Initially inspired by a photo of Jen by Arrow Photography London, the idea was to create a Vogue-esque cover image complete with trade dress (and a few other bits and bobs)
I really enjoyed working on this one, getting the lig...

So this one started life as a joke inspired by Mercedes. She posted a story on IG well over a year ago now of her in a cowgirl outfit doing a pole routine to the song "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy"
Now, my initial joke was way dirtier (and when it's finished it'll be on the super fan tier 😈) but because I got carried away with the ...

New commission for a friend on Twitter based in the "Conan: Exiles" game universe. Super happy with how this turned out!

My friend Kat is competing in the PCA First Timers Body Building competition today (Sunday 25th September) and I wanted to make her something for fun to help lighten some of the build up to the big day. She's a huge She Hulk fan, so I put this together for her :)
It's also a tribute to some of the amazing work Jen Bartel has done/is ...

So waaaaaay back in February I got inspired by a videoclip shot by Arrow Photography. It featured Jennifer Wilde sans clothing wrapped in a pretty transparent sheet, and my mind just went "ooh make it red!"
The thing is, my mind also went "The see through-ness is hot... maybe do that too!?" And so two versions of the same image were ...

Hey guys, here's the FF14 commission files I shared on Twitter/IG
Commissioned by one of you here (thanks so much mate!) This was a fun piece for their partner of their FF14 OC. I delved back into a more comicbook-esque inking style for this one as I felt it would really benefit from that cleaner look.
What do you think?
2022-09-25 13:07:58 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Long time no see (or at least it feels like it!)
I just wanted to apologise for the lack of updates. I do have work to post, and it will be done asap; I've just been uber busy with life stuff and dayjob work, not to mention a few commissions too. This week is a bit of a nightmare for that, but hopefully either ...

I really wanted to get some of the feeling of the actual WoW artwork in here and I'm so happy with the result - held by tentacles and being lowered into the gaping maw of some unimaginable toothsome demon...
Super cool commission for my friend Shizu (thanks dude!)
He gave me pretty much free reign to do whatever I wanted here and initially I thought a super close up splatterfest would be cool (final slide for the initial sketch) but after a bit of back and forth we ended up going with a big hero shot with all the fire and energy blasting good...
Hehe I'm not but I couldn't resist the pun.
Soooo I'm a little slow to uploading this here because this week's been manic - sorry about that! Here's the latest from this batch of commissions for BlueFantasy17 over on Twitter. Go check them out if you're into 3dx and illustration stuffs :)
This was fun to do something a li...

Hey guys - had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Miss Black Reign on an illustration this month. She gave me complete freedom - which honestly for me was a little scary but it's ok! Of 3 options she chose this sort of dark sorceress vibe and off we went! Really fun piece and if you don't follow her you should get that ...

Managed to squeeze this in last week. I'm not entirely happy with it, but the character's creator liked it so that's good enough for me :)
DTiYS - Draw this in your style ;)

Just wanted to check in with a quick update.
I've been having a little dig into merch - Patreon's fees and the way it all works are too much for me to be able to handle at this stage with the following I have here so for now that's out of the question.
However, I'm looking into InPrin...

A little bit different for me this one - I haven't drawn cars for fun in YEARS and Poppy owns an Evo VIII so this was a blast!
We didn't really know what to do about a background but when I suggested a Japanese hillside we went for it. It's a combination of photo cobbling, hand painting, texture overlays and a little bit...
