Controlling a Genie

This is what happens when I do warm-ups; I usually can't stop. This is kind of old-school! Better go do some work ...

Constantine, Hellblazer

"A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths." - Marina Tsvetaeva

More fun with some fan art and playing with technique. John Constantine's about my favourite comic character; his whole bad /good luck shtick really works for me. He's the ultimate hustler playing against the biggest mark there is. When I picked up a copy of Hellblazer #1 in the late 80's I was hooked and it was another one of those defining moments. Moments like finding his pal Lester sitting in a bath tub covered in insects - mistakenly believing he was having a bad trip - was mind blowing. There was something about the modern London setting that made it unbelievably creepy.

Here's a close up so you can see how messy the whole job is :)

Drawing monkeys is fun

Another lesson I've learned drawing monkeys all day is that they're always funny.

BatMech

To save time, tonight's fan-art speed-paint combines both Ashley Wood robots with Batman. WIP.

Update: Refining and having fun. I'll post updates as they come in.

Alien Horse Whatever

I think this is pushed as far as my attention deficit disorder will allow. Try to ignore the feet for now and I'll get around to them later ... maybe.

Must Draw More Boobs
