Elvis & the clash, album cover recreation commission.

Here's a couple of Christmas commissions that I failed to post. And because of the odd size I wasn't able to take scans....so these crappy iPad pics will have to do.... Lol.

The client requested that I reproduce London calling, by the clash & Elvis Presley album covers in a traditional medium, measuring 12x12. These pieces were created using conte, charcoal, marker & paint.

Sexy Robot Base card art for Contemporary Pinups Puzzle Jam

I recently Completed a trading card set called Contemporary Pinups Puzzle Jams. In this set, i was to complete one half of an oversized card & the artwork would be sent to another artist (steve Lydic) to complete the other half in a collaboration piece. As you can imagine the set was full of girls with there boobs out LOL, because sex sells. Here is the base card ( printed card) art I completed in photoshop, along with the initial marker sketch.

Walking Dead #109 Comic Book Sketch Cover, Sophia.

So, I figured what the hell, lets break up the monotony of all this walking dead sketch card business WITH MORE WALKING DEAD!

This is a (image coics)Walking Dead #109 comic book Blank variant sketch cover of Sophia (after she has turned into a walker) from the hit AMC television show The Walking Dead, By robert kirkman and skybound industries. Done in markers & colored pencils by me, obviously. This puppy is off to be signed by the young actress who plays sophia on the show. I think that there are some finishing touches that need to be done, but I ran out of time and will finish it up, once its signed.

If you didn't know what a blank variant is, its a limited run comic book printed with a blank untreated cover, which allows an artist to put some original work on your very own comic book.

I really enjoyed drawing larger than a 2.5 x3.5 inch card...takes roughly the same time for me, but I like to be able to have room to squeeze in the subtle details, that you cant do as well on a sketch card.



Happy friday! Yay Zombies!

Abraham - Artwork for the walking dead trading card set ( comic book)

So, no time to edit my progress on some of my walking dead cards, gotta leave something for the sketchbook! Heres a drawing of Abraham ( one of my favorite badasses from the comic book) walking away with a machete in hand. Copic markers. This was done for the trading cards set " The walking Dead the comic book 2" i know, how original. This set will be out in a few days & I have some Ap's available! get yours while they last!

Bombshells:Women of War Sketch Card for Bad Axe studios

Here's another one of my Bombshells cards, I think this is the first one I did for the set....anyway, not much else to say, I still have one blank you can commission. This was done with copic markers.

Happy Friday!

" Druid Warrior" BombShells: Women Of War Sketch card for Bad Axe Studios

Well....Its friday... Here is another Bombshells sketch card for the Women of War set being released by Bad Axe studios. I Have a few Returns & AP's are on their way if anyone is interested in a commission.

( return cards are card blanks from the official set that can be commissioned & must be approved by the company prior to final sale, AP cards , or artist proof cards, are pretty much the same except they are specifically printed for the artists on the set, identified by the "AP" marking on the card. AP cards are more rare & can only be obtained from the artist so therefore they are a bit more costly.)

This was done in the usual, Copic markers & a bit of gel pen....

Happy Friday!

War Of the Worlds sketch card for Cult Stuff!

What's this? Could it be? Another Tripod sketch card for the War of The Worlds non-sports trading card Set I'm working on for Cult Stuff? Yup.

This one I did in a sepia tone, inked sepia colored micron, colored with copics & used a little white acrylic paint here and there. Looking at it now, I suppose it could've benefitted from a little black...but hey...there's always next time. I've finished about half of my next 20, all are inked & I'm hoping to have them all finalized by today!

Hang in there, almost friday!

Bombshells Women of War Sketch card

Another one of my Bombshells : women of war sketch cards for Bad Axe Studios. Done with copic markers.

Bombshells:women of war sketch card

Here's another Bombshells card for the women of war set for bad axe studios....don't really like this one, because her boobs are lopsided! LOL. but part of being an artist is recognizing your faults & dealing with them...so...today's lesson is symmetry . LOL. I think I rushed a few of these cards because I was taken on at the last moment when one of the artists dropped out, and they needed them in ASAP, but that is no excuse. Another lesson I learned was try not to sacrifice quality for speed. If you take your time, your going to produce better results.

It is always good to be proud of your works, but don't forget to analyze your work & if you know somethings not right then go ahead & comment on it, people will respect you for it. I'm always am proud of my pieces when I first do them....for like 5 minutes. There are literally very few pieces that I don't hate after looking at them for a while.....pretty much everything I do I see flaws.....but that's ok, its good to be your own worst critic. Anyways, this was done with copic markers & a bit of colored pencil.

Bombshells Women Of War Sketch card

Ok..so the bombshells set is out & I've received approval to show the rest of the 25 sketch cards I did for bad axe studios.I usually like to show these cards in lumps, but in order to prolong it & keep some of the surprise there for the collectors, I'll post them one at a time, until I get bored. I'll be alternating these with my war of the worlds cards.
