This is a character from the Eternal Seven story.

Warrior - Sketch from 2010

Warrior - Sketch from 2010
Another sketch from 2010 that I recently uncovered. I remember working on this one and loving the way it turned out at the time. This was a pencil sketch that was painted over in Photoshop.

Nibru - Character Design from 2009/2010

Nibru - Character Design from 2009 2010
This has been a theme lately with my art. As I've stood this website to showcase some of my art I've been going through some really OLD stuff. This particular drawing was started back in 2010, but at first I couldn't remember the details as to why I even started it. I knew it wasn't my character, if nothing else due to the name. I started searching online and found THIS POST by nJoo on DeviantArt... and oh the memories flooded back. This was almost a meme on conceptart.org, as some random person posted a request to have his character drawn. If you've been on art community websites this is a constant occurrence, which normally results in everyone ignoring it. However, in this particular instance, EVERYONE took a stab at designing the character based on the brief, including some famous artists like the one I linked to. I also decided to do it, but never finished the image. Last night as the memories of this event came back I decided to just push the piece a bit more and get it polished up as I liked some of the things I'd done in that sketch.
And here's the WIP. The entire thing, including the original sketch, were done in Photoshop. Cheers!

Procreate Sketch 2021

Procreate Sketch 2018
There was a period after I got my Ipad that I used Procreate quite a lot. The applicaiton is extremely powerful and certainly something that can be used professionally, a very good alternative to Photoshop. But after a while I of course once again went back to Photoshop where everything is familiar. This is a fairly rare experiment where I wanted to sketch in Procreate sometime in 2018. I didn't have anything in mind, just sat down and started drawing things.

Sword Hand

Sword Hand - Drawing from 2009 updated in 2024
This is a drawing from 2009. At the time I made this drawing I was a member of a team on conceptart.org which was called Doomsday Dream Clan, and we were in the midst of trying to participate in a team challenge. One of our team members was a young kid whose online handle was "Sword Hand" and I made this drawing in his honor. A reference of Adriana Lima was used for the face, but outside of that it was made up. Now about 15 years later I stumbled upon the original drawing while browsing my old archive and had to touch it up. If any of my old teammates stumble upon this, hit me up, miss you guys!

Soul Catcher - Black Company

Soul Catcher from Black Company
This is a drawing depicting my take on Soul Catcher, one of the iconic characters in the Black Company series of fantasy books by Glen Cook. This character starts out as a mystery, and as you progress through the book you find out more about them. One of the terrifying powers Catcher has is the ability to mimic anyone's voice. I love the Black Company series, the characters, the way the story is told from the perspective of the weak, the journeys the company goes through, the triumphs and tragedies... I highly recommend it. This series has served as an inspiration for art and other famous authors were also inspired by the story.

This ballpoint pen ink sketch was made in 2019.

Balo the Burnt

Balo the Burnt
This is an ink sketch which was painted over digitally. The original sketch was very small, maybe 2 inches across, and was made in 2023. However, the final drawing was completed in June 2024. The character is also known as Balo the Runt and if you encounter this name while playing Elden Ring, it's probably me.

The Spear of Destiny

The Spear of Destiny - Drawing from 2016
This is a digital artwork from 2016. This was generally a bad year for me in terms of art, but this piece is one of my more complete ones I made at the time. It was originally NSFW but I've cleaned that up a little with the handy use of a boob strap!

Little bit of trivia, this weapon design and drawing was originally posted online in 2016. Dark Souls III expansion called The Ringed City came out in 2017. That game featured a weapon called The Splitleaf, which Miyazaki ripped off from my art and never gave me credit for. Thanks!

Magicka Character

Magicka Character Drawing
I loved the game Magicka. Can't recommend it enough. Such a wild and unexpectedly cool game back in the day with some really neat little mage characters that have unlimited magic power. This is my take on a character fromt he game. I made this drawing sometime towards the end of 2013 and it was all done in Photoshop.

Alpha

Alpha
This is a drawing made in 2006 or 2007 that was painted over digitally, and updated yet again in 2024. It's actually a drawing I had lost over the years, I could not locate the PSD file for this work, but found a low res image online on one of my other sites. The character is from the Eternal Seven story.

Sorry

This is my interpretation of a character from the Malazan Empire series of books by Steven Erikson. The story begins with Sorry, also known as Apsalar, and she indeed becomes a massively powerful character as the story progresses.

Morgis the Dragon Knight

Morgis the Dragon Knight
Back in the day I used to read quite a lot of fantasy. Years ago it was normal for me to get on a stair-mill in the gym, crack a novel open, and do slow burn cariod for hours while reading away. Sadly this habit has gone away. I rarely do stairmill now, and usually spend time on the treadmill these days. Running is much harder for me though, and I can't read while doing that, nor can I last as long even at a slow pace...

This is a pencil drawing I made in 2012, of a character from a novel by Richard Knaak which is part of a the Legends of the Dragonrealm series. I vaguely remember bits and pieces from these novels, probably need to read the books again to get the details. What was really interesting to me regarding this particular series were the dragons and some of their abilities. The ruling dragons had distinct elemental abilities, and one of the outcast dragon kings was Blue who I believe was an ice dragon. In the series, some dragons could transform into humanoids. They were still dragons, just looking like giant heavilty armored knights. Years later, I don't remember as to why the dragons did those transformations, perhaps to help them make themselves more relatable to the humans. I did find Morgis the Dragon Knight character interesting enough to draw him though. He appears in some of the earlier books, and later becomes a major character in one of the books. Very powerful, if I remember correctly Morgis was actually a son of Blue, and there was a failed love angle in his story that did not have a happy ending. I like it when some endings aren't happy...

Either way, this drawing has been slightly tweaked in Photoshop, but not to the usual extent I like to paint over my sketches. It is actually fairly large drawing, much larger than the usual format for my sketches. I did intend to paint over it, but as with many of my failed paintings, never got around to it.

Anime Twinblade Girl Design

Anime Twinblade Girl Design
This was a character I designed and drew sometime in 2012. I'm not good at this art style, haven't really studied it either. However, I like the way this turned out. It's not meeting the initial goal, but looks cool! I believe this did start as a pencil drawing that was painted over digitally.

Terra Branford and Magitek Armored Vehicle - Final Fantasy 6 Fanart

Terra Branford Magitek- Final Fantasy 6
The design of this character, the art, and the story, is simply incredible and one of the most iconic video games ever. Simple perfection! It seems so crazy to me that years later nobody has really reproduced something similar in the video game world.

I made this drawing in 2021 entirely in Clip Studio Paint. Final Fantasy 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Such a classic...

Cyborg Marine Pencil Drawing 2009
I've always sucked at drawing elaborate armors and clothes, over the years I've improved on that, but this was one of my first successful examples. Pencil drawing done in 2009.

Witchblade Pencil Sketch from 2009
Pencil sketch from 2009. I cut this out and meant to paint over it digitally but never got around to it.
