D&D Monster Manual Pt. II

Here's another sketch and final from the Monster Manual. The final below is a little different from how it appears in the book. I prefer this version. Again, digital start to finish.

Here's a piece I did for the new Monster Manual that just came out.

yet another WoW card...

I don't know if you've noticed, but I like the animals 'n stuff...
And green. I like green.
I just noticed that this bird and the bear below are pretty much in the same pose, too... hmmm... maybe I need to push my compositions a little more...

another World of Warcraft card

One of my favorite WoW cards of late.
It's digital, for those of you who care.

The Portent

This is a digital pin-up for a friend's comic, The Portent.

Typical barbarian-in-tomb fun.

Hey look! I'm posting something! Wheeeeee......!

(Sorry... it's been a while and I'm happy to get something new on my blog...)

Oros

Thought I'd post my Oros painting that made it into Spectrum recently, along with a couple in-progress shots. The colors are pretty off... these are just digital shots of it on my easel.

Mian Situ head study

Digital head study from a Mian Situ painting. I spent about an hour on it, if I remember correctly...

A sketch from the other day

Just some fun with pencil, paper, and the servants of Beelzebub...
Halloween IS on the way, you know....

And now for something completely different...

I was recently digging through some boxes of old lp records and cassette tapes (yes, I am that old) and ran across these puppies.

I used to tape all my lp's because I didn't want to have to buy copies to listen to them in the car or walkman (old old old...). But I missed having the art of the albums, so I started drawing the bands logos on the little piece of sticker paper you got with each cassette. Of course that lead to full-blown paintings of the album covers on the tiny 2"x3" surface. I remember enjoying the challenge of rearranging the square compositions into the horizontal ones. This was around high school. I've got more, but I don't know where they are.

Anyway... it was a blast from the past for me, but probably a "What the...?" for you.

Here's another WarCraft card...

Need to post more often. Yes. I know. I try...
