Faceless Knight - I had a
dream many years ago, and I saw this sucker in it. This particular
drawing is quite old, and in my opinion, a tad sloppy... however, I
still consider it one of my better ones. |
|
|
Vector - I invented this
guy when I was six. He's evolved a lot since then... indeed, he's
changed a bit since I drew this particular image a few years ago. It's
become a tad messy sitting in my drawing folder, but I think that just
adds character to the image. |
|
|
Couple - I drew this, and
my buddy Chris shaded it in (before I had developed any real sense of
adequate shading). One of our best collaborative works, even after all
these years. I've since tried to adopt his style of shading, but then
ultimately I moved on to my own style. |
|
|
Alien Creature - Just a
funky creature that I wanted to draw. I got the idea for the
triple-jawed face from an InQuest gaming magazine, and the rest
just kinda grew from there. |
|
|
Elven Mage - Nothing
spectacular... really just playing around with different body poses.
Some feel that his right bicep is too big, but I disagree... the left
bicep looks smaller because, A: it's stretched out from the position of
the arm, and B: the human bicep is more prominent on the inside of the
arm, where it attaches underneath the pectoral muscle. |
|
|
SPOOFE - A self-portrait of
my fictional alter-ego. This one is very old, and I've since drawn a
better picture (which you can find later on in this art gallery). |
|
|
Spirit - This particular
image was an old excercise in perspective..... I tried to make her
upraised hand seem far larger, while the rest of her body disappeared
into nothingness. Didn't quite come out how I wanted, but hey....
that's what experimentation is for. |
|
|
Mercenary - An
unspectacular work. Kia, my best friend, told me once to "draw
something". So I did. Took me about an hour, maybe an hour and a
half, total. |
|
|
Daemon - When I was
younger, I always like dragons and demons and things with bat-like
wings. This was really an excuse to draw just that. Inspiration was
taken from the daemon enemies from Ultima VI, and I slapped some
wings on it. |
|
|
Acid Trip I - Back in High
School, one of my favorite activities was drawing "acid
trips"... essentially, a jumbled mismatch of odd shapes, objects,
figures, and themes, all mixed together in a chaotic mix. I drew this
one for a friend, Jennifer Rahn. |
|
|
Daemon Girl - Remember
playing Diablo? Remember the succubi that inhabited the lower
levels of hell? Well, they inspired this particular work of art. |
|
|
Akcezzarblopthk - I had
this one done when I was in the middle of my "mutant freak
monsters" phase. This one started out as just a goofy goblin, but I
just start throwing on body parts willy-nilly. |
|
|
Boba Fett - Yeah, everyone
knows who the hell this guy is. This was my first attempt at "rub
shading"... rubbing the image with your finger to blur everything
together. My technique improved after this piece... |
|
|
Dragons - I tried to draw
two dragons in a bit of a... *ahem*... "loving" embrace. I
don't know if it came out or not... it kinda looks like they're fighting
or something. Oh well. |
|
|
Turbak - Another in my
line of "mutant freak monsters". I had developed the tradition
of giving them weird names, hence the title of this piece. I was
inspired by the look and feel from the original Doom games. |
|
|
Flingo - The third of my
"mutant freak monsters", although I've been told that this one
looks pretty funny and rather "friendly" in a way. I wanted to
make it look like a really big bug with even bigger boots. |
|
|
Alien - A xenomorph from
the ol' Alien movies. Not much else to say about this... I've loved
those movies for my entire life, and I've often drawn numerous pictures
of the aliens. This one was the last - and best - one. |
|
|
Executioner Chick - Thank
Kia for the name of this one (really, it's not like a lot of brainpower
was needed). I just wanted to draw weapons, and someone holding the
weapons, and I thought it'd be interesting if it were a woman that was
doing it. |
|
|
Secret Agent Man - At the
time, this was a new one for me... a realistic-looking (sorta) guy with
realistic-looking clothes holding a realistic-looking gun? It's simple
and rough, but I still like how this one came out. |
|
|
Predator - Remember that
mid-'80s movie with Arnold Schwarzeneggar? Those beasties were called
"yautja", and, like the Aliens from the Alien series,
I've always loved these suckers. This one is a bit off in that I think
the yautja is too bulky and muscular... they would be leaner and
trimmer, more agile than buff. |
|
|
Spider - This was inspired
by the description of Shelob the Great from the Lord of the Rings.
I'm proud of it because this picture actually scared the shit out of
someone who was extremely arachnophobic, which tells me that I managed
to get a good spidery likeness in there. |
|
|
Centauress - *GASP!*
Breasts! Naked ones, at that! Feh. This one was an anatomy excercise...
making the woman both very strong, feminine, and equine, all at
the same time. |
|
|
Duct Tape - Yup, it's a
woman tied up with duct tape. The irony of this (mildly twisted) image
is that it was drawn during a Christian Loving class. |
|
|
Sally the Robot - I drew a
robot, and named it Sally (because of the mechanical-looking
"hair" tendril thingies). An interesting robot design... I've
been considering using it in a story sometime. |
|
|
Vector & the Dragon - I
drew this just to piss off Kia, who loves dragons. What better way to do
that than to show a dragon getting the back of its throat blown out? |
