Demon - Pencil Drawing from 2009

Yup, made this in 2009, still one of my favs.

The character is a lesser demon from the Eternal Seven storyline.

Rudolph's Nose is Red for a Reason!

Yes, it's red because he rips faces off!

Merry Christmas card from 2011!

Demon Wing

Ink sketch from 2011, which has been modified in Photoshop to give it a more 3D look.

Hellguard

This is a pencil sketch that got painted over in Photoshop, made sometime in 2008. At the time I made this it was among my better illustrations and showcased my level as an artist. When I look back at it now there are many things I would change. Maybe this just needs to be redone!

However, this drawing was a huge step up for me in may regards. First off it was inspired by the work of an artist who went on to work for Blizzard. While making this illustration I feel like I actually learned a lot, even though it didn't necessarily translate to a better artwork.

This is also one of my first images I started doing WIPs for.

Hunting Wabbits?

This was a digital painting almost entirely done in Procreate. I set about drawing the tree with a blue color pallette, then added the characters at the end.

More detailed shot of the dragon.

Memento Mori - Album Cover

This artwork was done as a cover for an album by Seeing Seven. The actual album can be found on Amazon and on Apple Music. Majority of the work was done in Photoshop.

Pencil sketch of the main character.

Another painting of the character done in Photoshop as part of the comission.

The actual album cover and CD after completion, comfortably resting on the tablet they were drawn on. I was happy with this result, one of the rare comissions I took.

A Dark World

This is a digital painting which was done in 2016 but then beefed up in Procreate sometime in 2018. My goal when I created this was to illustrate a fantasy landscape, with strange land shapes and a sense of mystery. The mage character is inspired by the video game Magika, and is featured in quite a few of my sketches where I like to add a figure for scale.

Amalgamation

This is probably the first time in the history of this blog that I am actually posting current work! This guy aims to answer the question "what would happen if your already thick neck grew an extra set of arms?" ... and stuff!

This is the original ballpoint pen ink sketch from 2022. As you can see it didn't change much between the original and the final painting which was done with Photoshop.

Becoming

This is a digital artwork entirely done in Photoshop in January 2021. At the time I was working through a serious artist block, COVID was raging around the world and we were in lockdowns. Even though I was doing fine, I had a serious problem sitting down and drawing. For me art was always an outlet, to let my dark engergy and emotions go, and to do something not so destructive. But even though I could sense that I needed to draw I really struggled to do it.

So one day I somehow forced myself to sit down and draw, and this is what came out... No references were used. Little did I know that it would open a floodgate of art over the next few weeks and months.

The Sea of Blood and Tears

This is a personal illustration which was inspired by this: I'm fine - by Goshun.

A NSFW photo was used as a reference for the figure.  Done mostly in Photoshop, sometime in 2021. 

Ars Goetia 61 - Zagan

Zagan, one of the nine Kings of Hell.

A very powerful entity who commands over thirty three legions of demons. Listed as the sixty first demon described in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He is classified as both President and King, both titles symbolic of the power and sway he has within the infernal abyss.

When summoned, Zagan often assumes the shape of a winged bull, but will transform into a man some time after being conjured. He has the power to turn water into wine, blood into wine, and back again. He also has the power to turn any metal into coins. It is said that he can impart great knowledge upon any man, and even turn a fool wise.

Personal illustration from 2021, done in Procreate and Photoshop.  Here is the WIP:

One with the shadows and fire

There can be no shadow without light. Ink sketch from 2022.

Faebruary 2024

I decided to color this one, digital updates made in Photoshop.

Dark Fariy ink sketch, obligatory Faebruary 2024 participation.

Carrier Demon v2011

This is a pencil drawing which was colored in Photoshop and probably my favorite take on the Carrier Demon concept. Made in 2011, one of my best art years.

A more gratuitous detailed shot of the back for my own enjoyment. No, I really don't care if you like it.

Crystal Clear

Digital painting from 2009, though it may not be obvious a reference was used for the figure.

I N F E R N O

Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin!

It's a quote from Dark Souls, the Ringed City, but it spoke to me in ways that are depicted in this picture.  At the time I made this artwork I wanted to push myself, to see what I can actually do as an artist.  I worked on this a long time, and I'm rather happy with the result.  Looking at it now, there are things I would change, but I suspect more art in this vein will come in the future.  

This digital painting was made in 2021.   

Detrail 1 is the angel being dragged down into the inferno.

Detail 2 is the big demons on the ground.

Detail of Flyer! These guys in and of themselves were in line with the usual quality of art I produce in a full piece, here they are just lost in the big picture.

Another flying little devil.

The last of the gratuitous detailed shots. This artwork was entirely done in Photoshop and on stream. A print is available for sale in my artstation shop. Hope you enjoyed!

Tree Spirit

This is an ink sketch from 2020, slightly modified in Photoshop. 2020 was a bad year for me when it came to art. This is actually the only sketch that I saved on my machine from that year that was even worth showing.

Hope

This is a ballpoint pen ink illustration I made over the last week. It represents hope. Speaking of hope, I hope 2024 will be a better year for art. I am feeling the urge to start drawing again despite all the distractions and demands placed upon me. Cheers y'all!

Fallen

Digital illustration, September 2018.

This drawing was almost entirely done in Procreate on the iPad.  

Thanks for visiting!

Cake for Dessert

This is a scene from the Eternal Seven story.

Drawing was done in 2008, but to this day it's still one of my favorites.
