Warrior

This was an ink drawing I made in April 2025. Modified in Photoshop.

Mermaid - Ink Sketch from 2022

This is an ink drawing from 2022. Modified in Photoshop.

Saint Nick

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.

Two Headed Dragon and War Beast

These are two sketches from earlier in 2024. I've been very busy at work this year and don't even have time for sketching during meetings. I do intend to beef both of these up, just not sure when it will happen. They both look really good in the real world though, very difficult to photograph or scan properly.

Spider Rider Ink Sketch

This is a ballpoint pen ink sketch made in 2024. The drawing is tiny, about 4 inches across. I intend to either paint over or redo this at some point in more detail sometime in the future....

Gone Fishing

This is another sketch that I really wanted to paint over and I just haven't gotten around to it.

Demon Spell - Ink Drawing from 2014

This is one of the drawings which reminded me how much I used to like using inks...

Ink Portrait Sketches

These are sketchies from 2014 done for practice.

Demon Wing

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

Kissable

Ink drawing modified in Photoshop, made sometime in 2022.

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.

Empath Demon

This is an ink drawing from 2015.
 

Ironically, this is also my most stolen artowrk. I've seen multiple instances on the internet where this artowrk was claimed/stolen by other artists, in some instances generating quite a lot of likes and comments. Once again proving I'm terrible at marketing myself and generating exposure for my art. It's ok though, at least I'm making the art. Maybe long after I'm dead my art will be worth something. For now it's just a release for me, and that is the ultimate point in art. Cheers!

Ascending

This is an ink drawing from 2015.

Fashion Souls

I played Dark Souls 3 PVP quite a bit, I got into it during the Rona Lockdowns and invasions appealed to me very much.  There's a running joke in these games that armor doesn't matter (actually not true), and that you should always go for what looks good (actually kind of true)... 

Just before Elden Ring came out I made a NG+ character at SL150 intended for TRC dry-fingered assaults.  The initial build was pure strength, but I ended up switching it around to be mostly focused on Demon Greataxe and was truly a dark/chaos build with options for pyromancies and quite a few weapon swap options... but what appealed to me most was the look of this character, here are the mandatory items:

1. Sunset Helm - the crooked helm worn by Hodrick
2. Harald Legion Armor
3. Harald Legion Leggings
4. Gauntlets were whatever you could fit, but I also went with Sunset here.  

The initial look of the character was intended to be funny.  The real funny was how good this armor combo is in terms of absorption and actual looks.  I know it's in the eyes of the beholder, but this was my ultimate fashion souls char.  

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.

Long Tail

A long tail can really be useful at times, and problematic at others. You can step on it, even trip on it! But hey, you know what they say? It's the motion of the ocean!

Ink sketch, 2019, colored in Photoshop. This is my usual workflow. I often doodle and come up with different ideas and characters, then if I like them, I push them more in Photoshop.

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.

Dragons - Ink Sketches from 2019

Here are a couple of sketches I made in the year of our Lord, 2019.

This one is a baby dragon on top of an egg that hasn't hatched yet. This sketch would serve as a basis for a digital painint I made a couple of years later.

Dive bomb! Dragons are never far from my mind. I grew up roaming the hills looking for lizardss and snakes. I love scaled things that are cool to the touch! Do you feel the same way?

Scaled Hounds - Sketch from February 2019

One of my favorite things to do during meetings is to draw. Sometimes people think I'm not listening, but I can breathe and chew bubble gum at the same time too!
