Behold, a pair of Clip Studio Paint sketch sets based on some of the art requests suggested by the fine folks of the $5 tier! (Time for the $3 art request post, looks like.) I'd hoped to add a few scans of older con sketches based on the Devil Kei/ Angel Yuri and Harley Quinn requests, but guess what? My ancient version of Ph...

Yet again, I'm doubling up with this week's set of life drawings from random photoref.

This promo illo for the fast-approaching Emerald City Comic-Con was posted by the con's Twitter account earlier this week, so I thought I might as well post the work stages here, too.
Note that the idea is that Emp is freaking out about the looming event, whereas 'Jette isn't, or at least not in the sa...

As usual, the focus for these pieces and sketch sets will be on Clip Studio Paint digital-art tests, but with a slightly different, two-pronged approach over the next few months:
1) First, while I'm quite c...

Got no time today for a detailed post, so above are a few (relatively) rough sketch sets drawn for a commissioner who was cool with such loose artwork, along with the later Empowered pages that reused poses from those sets.
Finally, the last piece in the gallery above was drawn t'other day in C...

I recently unearthed the tattered remnants of my comic collection from early childhood, and stumbled across a 1976(!) issue of Marvel's Black Goliath that might well have been an indirect influence on Emp's supersuit from Empowered. (I say "indirect" because I haven't ...
