Ziggy

Today I drew Ziggy from Battle Chef Brigade. This character was designed by Eric Huang. I've met Eric at a few game conventions while he was promoting Battle Chef Brigade, and he was one of the kindes...

DevilKid and other stuff

I'm back! I had some guests staying with me for the past couple weeks and it's been really hard to find time to make work to post. Finally I'm free and clear, and I can just glue myself to my desk again. Hoping to post more often again!

This one's for a friend Isaac. I f...

Bang!

Finished this one! And not a moment too soon, either. We've had back to back guests staying with us in the past couple weeks, so it's been tough finding time between entertaining people and freelance. Gotta stay disciplined tho!

Really happy with how messy this one turned out, hahaha. I'm getting more and more comfortable leaving things al...

I felt like drawing some violence today.

And sometimes you gotta step away

Damn, finally this painting is looking good, but it's going to take me a looooong time to finish it. Gonna walk away from this one now. I may come back to it in the future, since I think it'd look really cool finished. But for now, I'm going to move on to some other ideas I had floating in my head

Sometimes you gotta start over

Sometimes you can just tell a painting is going down the wrong path from the get go. This weekend was one fo those times. I think I finally have it going in a direction I want, but sometimes you gotta see where something's going, cut your losses and start over

mmmmm, not sure how i feel about this one.

As usual, check out the PSD, dig through the layers to decipher how i draw some of this shit!

Kat WIP

Man, I've really been enjoying doing these, but it seems like I've encountered the demon of never having enough time yet again. My freelance job has begun again and though I thought the work load would slowly ramp up, I've been thrown straight into the deep end. I'm trying to give myself time every day to work on these for atleast 30 minutes but...

Amy Celeste

Today I drew our favorite club girl Amy. Man, she is fun to draw. 

Today's reference image is above, but that was mostly just a starting point. It took me a while to find a pose that looks good with the pose i used as reference (I tend to thi...

Aaralyn!

Gunna post this tomorrow on twitter for the cutie saturday hashtag, but wanted to give you guys the sneak peak. As I've been doing recently, i went out of my way to not flatten the layers, so you can dig in there and check out how I paint!

Another case of a warm up drawing turning into a huge damn project. And now I have to try and color this!

The above photo STARTED as ref for my drawing but the drawing mutated into something completely different. The tough part is that the further...

Knife squad!

I swear this is the last time I do another 3 hour drawing for a warm up! Maybe I'll do a black white drawing next time...

Above are the ref pictures I used for today's drawing. If you dig through the PSD file I'm attaching to this post, you'll fin...

Today's drawing

Man, I hate it when I decide to to a 30 minute warm up sketch and it turns into something i work on for 3 hours. No real ref this time. I've been reading Gunsmith Cats again, and it inspired me to draw some booooooobs. I went out of my way to not flatten layers, so give the PSD a look. It should give you a pretty good idea on how i put this thin...

Trying something new

Decided to try something new today. 

#1 I thought I'd draw something using photo reference.

#2 I decided to get super basic with my tools. Just a hard round brush.

Here's the photo ref I decided to use;

The photoshop file is...

Just Doing some drawing

Hanging out with my family in Maryland at the moment. Had a moment alone and I wanted to draw a bit. Been so busy these days with work and Cerebrawl stuff. Gotta make time to do fun drawings!!!

Sleepy

Been losing a lot of sleep recently. Multiple freelance contracts, animation and UI work on Cerebrawl, and trying to keep this Patreon page fed have really cut into my sleeping hours. I really enjoy painting, and i wish i had more time to do it. I know in the long run I need to keep my eye on the prize and achieve the longer term goals that I se...

2019_04_24

I've had a lot of freelance these past couple months. An amount that's been almost hard to keep up with. Pairing that with the Cerebrawl work I've been putting in, it's been really difficult to find time to work on some painting. I found a little bit of time between freelance jobs, and a lull in animation work for Cerebrawl and I got  to do...

Tactical Fantasy; Black Ops Division?

I've been percolating the idea of a black ops division that would be the foil to the Hungry Hounds crew. Where the HH crew is a mercenary group that engages in above board operations, the Black Ops Division is a shadowy government ...

Jaren Animations

Haven't had a chance to post some of the new animations I've been working on for Jaren. We've been plugging away on Cerebrawl, and I'm really excited to start work on another character. Thought I'd share what I've come up with so far!
