Saint Nick

Christmas Card - Saint Nick and Rudolf
Just in time for the holidays. If you've been a bad boy, Santa is coming ot chop your head off... if Rudolf doesn't bite your face off first. Look out!

Ink drawing, modified in Photoshop. December 2024

I actually used a reference for the elk, the drawing was more complicated than I intended with the figure being obscured by the horns. This was an ink drawing which was painted over in Photoshop. This is done as a Christmas card, may get colored next year.

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.

Hellguard

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?

Hunting Wabbits - Dragon Art
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.

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

A Dark World - Illustration
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

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!
OG Amalgamation Ink Sketch
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

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

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 - Ars Goetia - King of Hell
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:

Carrier Demon v2011

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.
Carrier Demon v2011 Detail
A more gratuitous detailed shot of the back for my own enjoyment. No, I really don't care if you like it.
