Gladiator

This is a character I designed sometime in 2010, my recent search through my old files uncovered it and I decided to refine it. I don't normally work with lineart, I prefer shapes and to work with shadows, so this is different from the drawings I typically crank out. In the end I couldn't resist and put some suggestion of shading onto this drawing.

I've ran into a moral dillema recently when it comes to these drawings and where to put them on the page. Their origin is way in the past, but what I am doing with them now I did not used to have the skill to do in the past, so I am going to put them down as current work if I do drastic refinements over them such as this one.

Here's the WIP. What I had was the old sketch done in pencil, I cleaned it up refined it on a separate layer in Photoshop. About an hour of work went into this process, which doesn't include the original art but as you can see that was just a quick unfinished sketch. I have no idea if references were used for the original sketch as I don't even remember making that drawing, but I know it's mine because my notes were on the same page... Thanks for visiting!

Ghost Woman

This is a recent ink drawing that I reworked and colored using some fun techniques. The character is inspired by the very anatomically correct japanese animation style art... Original sketch and painting were completed in 2024. Cheers!

The Spear of Destiny

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!

Bar Refaeli Portrait

Digital portrait painting done in 2010 for practice. Years later, Bar Refaeli still looks amazing.

Fire Mage

This is a character I designed sometime in 2009 as part of my Eternal Seven story. The drawing has been touched up multiple times since the initial sketch, to the point where I think it just needs a complete rework.

Portrait from 2012

This is a pencil portrait of a woman made in 2012, a reference was used but I don't remember of who. The portrait was modified in Photoshop later, and you see a digital/pencil blend here.
