The Jackal Goblin

The Jackal Goblin is one of the most feared predators known to all living things. Although Named after a jackal they are actually the evolutionary end result of cross breeding between a particular genus of goblin, and that of a baboon. The Joining of these two species resulted in the cunning & vileness of goblins with the agility & ability to reason from their simian side. You will only see the crown of bones protruding from the head of males in the species.

Although they are a relatively small creature (only a bit larger than that of a chimpanzee) it does not limit their ability to be one of the most dangerous and irritatingly difficult creatures you will ever face. The main difference you will notice from that of a regular goblin is their reluctance to face you head on in open battle, instead they resort to guerilla tactics ( hit, run, hide), very seldom leaving the security of the tree tops. Brandishing primitive bows with poison tipped arrows they can topple foes within seconds.

You will never find a Jackal Goblin alone unless sick or dying. These highly social creatures live in small pack communities within the trees, making them extremely lethal in larger groups. Often times you will hear the screams and yelps of warring packs above (usually over territory or prey). Although the sights and sounds of such battles can be terrifying, it is actually what keeps the jackal goblin populations at bay. Whole forests have been burned down, just do bring the creatures out in the open, in the hopes of exterminating them.

The most notable characteristic of the Jackal Goblins ( and where I suspect the name comes from) are the cackling cries made when agitated or excited. When these shrills of simulated laughter & panic fill the air, you best flee, unless you are prepared to lose a few men to the impending onslaught that approaches.

Yes, I made that up....Yes, Im a geek....No, I dont care.

So did I mentioned that I loved Tan toned paper?

Poison Ivy sketch card process pics

Mornin....Another step by step card of Poison Ivy
Card 1) Pencils...start off with a really light pencil, then refine with the mechanical.

Card 2) pre-inking done with a .1 liner.

card 3)added the skin tones with watercolors. I added a bit of green in there, because I wanted her skin to have a greenish tint.

Card 4)went to work on her leaf garment with the copics, and darkened up some of the shading on the face.

Card 5) got all that red hair done with the copic markers.

Card 6)started laying in the background using the wet on wet technique again. laid some yellows into green. Gave myself plenty of room around the figure itself, to make sure the green didn't bleed into the hair. I knew I was going to re-ink & add a white border so the space was fine.

Card 7) Last card....Darkened up all of the inks with my brush pen, also added some additional ink to the entire picture, as I saw fit. also added some background texture with markers & finished up the border with my white gel pen.

There you have it. Have a good one.

Poison Ivy Sketch Card Commission

Well...you know the story already, but I'll repeat it anyway. Sketch card commission as part of a batman/dc themed series requested by my buddy chad. Super cool guy to work with. This one is of the lovely poison ivy done in that cutesy style I do.

Funny story how I started to do characters in this manner. I usually like the darker stuff, demons, blood & gore. Well I had a shop owner tell me that i would have to draw cuter stuff in order for him to carry my art...I of course thought it was lame..but I came up with this style. It took me a long time to get used to & even though its less detailed Its actually harder for me to do at times, but people tend to like it.

This one was done in watercolor & copic marker.

Scare Bears : Poison Bear

Hello there, Here is one of my scare bears ( my take on the care bears ) I've decided to do a series of these guys & make them a little more gritty & dark. They are really fun to paint, & I have about 4 done. I think I will do about 10 of them & then get them over to geeky mammas to see how people react to them. This was done with doc martins watercolors on watercolor paper. also used marker, colored pencil & gel pen.
