Koloss Sketches from 2012

Koloss are creatures from the Mistborn series of books. These are giant modified humanoids who have grown to such massive proportions their skin is tearing in places as they become larger, the skin is blue in color, implying the humans used to create them may now be undead. There are armies of them serving the Lord Ruler, posing an existential threat to the main characters in the story.

Both of these pencil sketches were made in 2012 while I was reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. Both drawings were modified in Photoshop, but you can still see their pencil origins. I have wanted to do a bigger painting featuring the Koloss in more detail, hopefully some day soon!

Other Mistborn Artowrks:

War Beast Sketch

This is a recent tiny ink sketch that was painted over in Photoshop. I've been on a kick with these scaled war beasts, the first one I drew was last year, and I've been thinking on how to incorporate them into the Eternal Seven story.

The original sketch, was just messing around when I made it.

Blue Dragon

This is a recent ink sketch which has been digitally modified. This sketch was not very well planned out, I was just scribbling on a piece of paper, trying to get the blue ink flowing from a pen that had not been used for years. At some point a wild dragon appeared! Done in April 2025.

Beholder - Digital Paintover 2024

This is another sketch that I intended to paint over for a long time. The original tiny ink sketch was made in 2022. Finally got around to it in the last week and here's the result. Unfortunately I lost the high-res file in the process of finalizing the image and creating the WIP animation.

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.

Arctic Foxtail Prompt

This was a drawing for a creature called the Arctic Foxtail, a prompt from Justin Gerard on his Twitch Stream. Ink sketch which was painted over in Photoshop quickly. These went into the #letsdrawmonsters category.

The original sketch. This was from the 4th of February 2021.

Demon Back

Digital painting from 2008, made in Photoshop.
