Gatekeeper

When I finished sketching this little guy it struck me how put upon he looks, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. A not so sublte nod to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and another in the strange line of creatures I've been drawing for the heck of it, and in keeping with the organic/rocky mix of elements.

I redrew the left hand/claw thing a few times, and I'm none too happy with it. Oh well.

Back to the drawing board.

'Night

Bed Bug

I've been doodling a lot with ball point pen, and here's one of the results. Once it's down it's down, so there's no fixing the stuff that needs fixing, which is what I like about sketching with pen.

I'm not crazy about how he/she/it turned out, but hey, it is what it is.

Thanks for dropping by.

For the fun of it

Here's a little guy inspired by rock formations, and many eyed spiders.

There ya go.

Two for the Price of One

The One That Got Away....

Vampire Study #2

Just an excuse to paint a vampire with a gold tooth...

The 2nd in the little vamp series, they were all created from the same pencil sketch, with three very different outcomes, for better or for worse.

There ya go.

Mr. Teeth

Well, I'm long overdue in getting some work online, so welcome to my blog. I'll be posting sketches and paintings for the next while as I ramp up for the launch of my website. I've been doing lots of work for myself lately and just enjoying putting a lot of my interests to paper, hence the sci-fi twist you see here. This guy evolved into some kind of a vampire who doesn't leave much to chance as far as his intent with those teeth...Pencil + Photoshop.
