"Its A Trap!!!!"





I thought I'd take a break from sketch cards today to start showing some of the pieces that will be showing at my buddies Vaporizer shop grand opening this friday in costa mesa. Its going to be completely Star wars themed, so you'll see some of my older works, plus some new stuff I've been working diligently on this week. Today we'll start with a little Admiral Ackbar. I'm trying to be a little more loose with my artwork, a bit more artsy I guess. Let me know what you think!

These are two of my older pieces that will also be available.





This work will be showing and available for sale at VaP Vaporizer Shop in Costa Mesa.

"Amongst the Red weeds" War of the worlds sketch card for cult stuff.



Here is another war of the worlds sketch card, done in copic markers. I decided to depict a moment from the novel, towards the end where the protagonist is walking amongst the quickly growing red weeds that seemed to sprout up uncontrollably when the martians first arrived.

take it easy!....I'll have progress pics starting with my next 20 WotW cards.

"Look!" War of the Worlds Sketch Card for Cult Stuff



Here's another somewhat scenic sketch card for The war of the worlds set I worked on. Created with Copic markers, & a brush pen.

I entitled this one "Look!" because that's what I would imagine the little dude is saying. Well, actually I would imagine he's saying Holy $hit!, but since they didn't use that terminology in that region/era "look!" will have to suffice.

Happy Friday!

Bombshells: Women Of War Sketch Card



Good morning, here is another Bombshells sketch card for the Women of War set by Bad Axe Studios. I was trying to go for that traditional pin-up look, but wasn't too fond of how it cam out. should have put more detail in the pupils of the eyes, the collar bone is non-existent, and although the hands are correct, they look funny because the bottom few fingers are cut off. I also think I used a little too much colored pencil on the face, because it looks a little too gritty for me.

Anyway, those are my gripes....what DO I like about it? Hmmmm.....maybe the clouds?

Done with copics, gel pen & a couple prismacolor pencils. Gotta get back to drawing more zombies....take it easy!

War Of the Worlds Sketch Card for Cult Stuff



Another war of the worlds sketch card done for Cult Stuff over in the U.K. Again, I have drawn a martian getting ready to feed. This card is a little farther away, and as I have said before, the martian is just a little too cute for me. I used a simple blotchy red background for this to make the grey skin tone pop. Done with copic markers, gel pen & a bit of acrylic.

Happy Hump Day!

"The Hammer" Bombshells:Women of War Sketch Card

Tripod Sketch Card for Cult Stuff's "War of The Worlds" set



Hello all, I figured I'd start monday off with another sketch card from Cult Stuff's War of the Worlds set, featuring a tripod disintegrating & blowing stuff up!Done with copic markers. Based on the novel by H.G. Wells, although this one deviated a bit because the machine isn't holding the heat ray, its just emitting it from under its hood. I chose to illustrate it this way because I like to visualize the same thing in many different ways. Sometimes this is my Downfall, because when somebody gives me a general description my mind can run wild with a 100 different ways to draw something, that I tend to overanalyze & it may slow me down. I've always wanted to do conceptual work, that way I can just get out all of the different designs in my head & only render out the ones the client wants.

Anyway, On a side note, the Company Cult Stuff who I'm doing the cards for has decided to use my Steampunk tripod as artwork on one of their promo cards promoting their set.


Promotional trading cards are limited prints of cards usually distributed at a special event such as a convention, and this tends to be the only way to get them, that way the attendees have are the only ones allowed to get their hands on them, making them a bit more rare for collectors.

I was also notified that one of my cards was used in an add for the set in Non-sports update magazine(NSU) which is a publication dealing specifically with non sports trading cards.

I'll post both promotions when I have approval.
