Of Fire and Ice - Stibnite

This is a sketch from 2012 that also had another figure in the background. The drawing got heavily reworked and was never published before. I colorized it for the #Huevember2025 challenge over at Cara.app

The challenge was to use certain hue or color in an artwork on a specific day. On the 19th and 20th day of November the hue was "Stibnite" which is a grey-ish metal alloy which is toxic. The hues shown in the color picker for the challenge were very blue-ish though. I decided to use both a color layer to shift the drawing's colors to the blue and a gradient map with the dark values mapping to stibnite but the lighter values being mapped to warmer orange and red hues which were also part of the overall color pallete for the month of November.

The character is a fire witch.

Amanita the Axehead Assassin

This character design started as something akin to the mushroom people from Mario world, but as I went along I changed it to look more like a metallic weapon that's fused on or part of the head. Really enjoying working with pencils again last couple weeks.

Cleaned up and revised digitally, but I wanted to keep the intial pencil sketch look.

Elven Prisoner - Drawing from 2014

This is a painted over pencil drawing from 2014 that was never finished and never published. There was no particular reason I made this drawing, just a sketch.

Here's the work-in-progress animated GIF showing how the drawing was altered. The actual sketch wasn't anything special, but I liked it enough to paint over it. No references were used.

Something different, done in 2021 at the height of Covid for a challenge from Stumpy to draw something in the style of MegsMashables, here are links to both of them:

Fun to work on this, cheers!

Figure Study from 2008 - Luba Shumeyko

I used to do these studies a lot more. This was entirely done in Photoshop. The original reference photo was NSFW, recently retouched to make it more internet and general public friendly. Luba Shumeyko is on Instagram or you can search for her on the interwebs and find lots of cool shots. I ended up referencing her in other artowrks such as THIS one.

Lady - Portrait Ink Sketch from 2019

This is my take on Lady from the Black Company. The series by Glen Cook is one of my all time favorites and I can't recommend it enough to people who like fantasy.

This is an ink drawing I made in 2019, no refs used.
