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.

Nibru - Character Design from 2009/2010
This has been a theme lately with my art. As I've stood this website to showcase some of my art I've been going through some really OLD stuff. This particular drawing was started back in 2010, but at first I couldn't remember the details as to why I even started it. I knew it wasn't my character, if nothing else due to the name. I started searching online and found THIS POST by nJoo on DeviantArt... and oh the memories flooded back. This was almost a meme on conceptart.org, as some random person posted a request to have his character drawn. If you've been on art community websites this is a constant occurrence, which normally results in everyone ignoring it. However, in this particular instance, EVERYONE took a stab at designing the character based on the brief, including some famous artists like the one I linked to. I also decided to do it, but never finished the image. Last night as the memories of this event came back I decided to just push the piece a bit more and get it polished up as I liked some of the things I'd done in that sketch.
And here's the WIP. The entire thing, including the original sketch, were done in Photoshop. Cheers!

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.

Sword Hand
This is a drawing from 2009. At the time I made this drawing I was a member of a team on conceptart.org which was called Doomsday Dream Clan, and we were in the midst of trying to participate in a team challenge. One of our team members was a young kid whose online handle was "Sword Hand" and I made this drawing in his honor. A reference of Adriana Lima was used for the face, but outside of that it was made up. Now about 15 years later I stumbled upon the original drawing while browsing my old archive and had to touch it up. If any of my old teammates stumble upon this, hit me up, miss you guys!

Beholder Drawings 2009
This was the year in which I went back to an old concept regarding Beholders, having these really bright burning central eyes. The drawing above was done for COW #156 (Creature of the Week) prompt on conceptart.org with the prompt "Red Hot Doom." Below are a couple of sketches with the same theme.

Black Tooth Cave Dweller
This was done sometime in 2009 as a COW (Creature of the Week) #154 over at conceptart.org withg the "Hanging Upside Down" prompt. The idea is that this little cutie hangs in caves, waiting for guests to arrive.

Naga
This started as a really cool ink sketch. However, it scanned horribly, there's something about the ink which reflects during the scan process and makes the entire image look bad. I actually made this drawing sometime in 2023 and have been fiddling by painting it over in Photoshop in an attempt to make it look decent. I'md rather happy with the end result now and want to move on to other pieces.

Zalei Ironhand
This is the original, first art, of a character from the Eternal Seven story. The concept has since been refined, but I love this old pencil drawing made sometime in 2006. Color is a simple overlay done in 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!

K'Chain Che'Malle
Pencil drawing of a creature from the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson. Made in 2011, it was one of my finest artworks that I am most proud of.

Silchas Ruin
A character from the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson. While he isn't my favorite, he certainly comes close.
This was all done in Photoshop, sometime in late 2014 and early 2015.

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!

New Sketchies
I've been busy lately working on a major drawing. Something much more complicated than anything I've ever done before.
Meanwhile, here's a new set of ink sketches, I'm considering painting over the middle one.

The character on the right was inspired from some random drawing I encountered online. Ballpoint pen ink, made in 2018.

Carrier Demon - Digital Painting from 2007
Carreir Demons are an original concept of mine developed sometime in the 90s. They are the torturers of whores and prostitutes in Hell. Their standing in the hierarchy of Hell is rather low, they are merely a step above regular devils and demon grunts. But Carrier Demons are physically very powerful, more intimidating in stature, and as common amongst all demons, immune to the fire element despite their ability to manifest in actual flesh.
Victims of Carriers get strapped to the demon's spike covered back in a prone pose, unable to move. The spikes of the demons have incredible regenerative and healing properties. Despite the pain inflicted upon the victim during the strapdown process, the spikes ensure the victim retains some fragment of sanity. Once the strapdown is complete, the Carriers go about their business in Hell, and their victims get raped, eviscerated, shredded, only to heal up to experience a new form of torture. This goes on until the victim's very soul gives up over time on the eternal scale, and is consumed by the demon...
This was a pencil sketch which was painted over in Photoshop, made around 2006, 2007 timeframe. This is also one of my first full digital illustrations. I have never been good in terms of backgrounds and no painting symbolizes this more than this one. This is also one of the first posts I made to this blog, I'm very proud of this creation of mine.
