Hey!
Here's the latest on the comic I was working on previously(maybe a few months back), I wanted to pick it back up and start knocking out some panels. All of this was done in CSP, I'm attempting to imply as much detail as I can so I don't end up overworking everything, but it's difficult to not get lost in the weeds!...

Hey!
Been a minute! Hope you're well! Here's a quick step by step of Rikuo of Darkstalkers for a larger illustration I've been messing with here and there. This has mostly been practice in refining my approach using Krita as my main rendering program, I really enjoy the chrome brushes and am continually impressed by the...

Hey!
It's time - the November Character Concept Challenge begins! This time around I want you to create a themed team of 3 characters that come together into one singular character. This is a total of 4 concepts - these can be loose ideas, if the challenge is too daunting to create 4 final images then please feel free t...

Hey!
Been awhile! Here's something I've been working on for quite some time, all the pieces are starting to really come together, but it's been a pretty massive undertaking so far. This is the next cover for the TTRPG Blackbirds - I'm juggling quite a bit of characters/scenes in this one so it's been a matter of really ...

Hope you're well! Here's something I worked up for Hasbro not too long ago for the Hasbro Pulse release of the Power Rangers x Street Fighter figures - the idea with these was to reference official Street Fighter artwork in terms of posing and whatnot and instead use the Power Rangers fighting game designs in their...

Hey!
Hope you're well! To keep with the Halloween theme I wanted to work up somethin fun, enjoyed this one but definitely had issues figuring out the composition(if you watched the stream for this one you likely saw me struggling!). I spent the majority of my time rendering this one in Krita in grayscale and finished it...

Hey!
Today I wanted to share with you some process behind the Serpentor box art I created for Hasbro Pulse! This one was a lot of fun to work on, honestly one of my favorite jobs ever in terms of the freedom and execution, I was given a ton of funny/cool reference from oldschool G.I. Joe comics as well as tons of stills...

Hey!
Happy October! I'm going to do my best to create a series of Halloween themed images this month, hopefully I can tap a bit into the classic look of all these monsters and make some cool stuff. This one was done mostly in Krita and rendered up and colored in Photoshop(for the most part). I'm experimenting with paint...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I'm back from vacation, decided to get right into working in Krita again - this one here was a quick thing meant to explore a bit of the back and forth process I've been enjoying going from Krita to Photoshop to Krita to Photoshop - rendering in Krita has been really fun, the energy you're able to...

Hey!
Hope you’re well! I’m currently on a trip with the family but wanted to share something I was playing with on my iPad while away. Tried doing a quick loose approach to the pencil/watercolor look I’ve been using in CSP - I don’t have a super great grasp on my iPad work situation, it’s definitely not ...

Hey!
Thought it might be fun to show a couple loose things I've had resting on my external hd for a little while - most of these are just loose thoughts or the beginnings of comps/ideas that I then abandoned for something else along the way. I really enjoy just messing around the playing with character shapes and lighti...

Hey!
Hope you're well! This one was kinda interesting, I did this cover a few months back, right about where I started using Krita - I submitted the initial sketch that was done in photoshop, I wasn't thrilled about it so I decided to change up my approach to hopefully get some nice energy goin. When it comes to Marvel ...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's somethin I've been playing with a bit here and there - basically I painted up 4 random characters to try different types of executions with the rendering process - I'm pretty happy with most of em, I think a mixture of render in Krita followed by further grayscale render in Photoshop with m...

Hey!
Hope you're well! This is a quick thing really, played around in Krita pushing the rendering a bit more than usual and finished it up in Photoshop - I recorded the whole process, you should've gotten a link to that post as well as this one!

Here's a full process video, no commentary, to accompany the other post that just went up of the Red Earth - Leo step by step + layered PSD.

Hey!
This one is fairly simple, just spent some time last night on live sketching a Ocarina of Time composition in Krita and CSP to some Donkey Kong music, no commentary!

Hey!
Hope you're well! I wanted to share with you a bit of what I've learned for my current approach - this one feels pretty tailored toward doing a more stylized/textured realism that I like, it has some of the softness of a more realistic type of art but with a bit of tooth that you get from traditional - I'm pretty h...

Hey!
Hope you're well! I've been playing with a straight digital pencil approach, applying color to the pencils and then coloring after the fact with some rendering in a gauche style on top. I'm pretty happy with it so far, I think it's looking pretty nice rendering wise. The pencil brush is attached below, it's a CSP b...
