Dual at Dusk

I always thought this pic would be much more dramatic if it were at dusk rather than at night. For a while i couldn't get the colors of the sabers to come out right. They kept picking up the colors of the background. Then i realized that i had the filter on screen rather than normal. DOH!!!! anyway all is fixed. Enjoy

Hello there.

I know I know, this is on my banner. I wanted to add the full size version here. Obiwan was drawn and colored by me in photoshop. The background was taken from Starwars.com and is the property of Lucasfilm Ltd. I am currently working on a new Spiderman pic and hope to be adding it here within the next couple of days.

A City of Heros

I have been playing CoH for 4 years now and love it. Best MMORPG out there I think. I decided I had to draw one of my characters along with a couple others from the Super Group i'm in. This was my very first digital coloring attempt ever. ( I have come along way since i did this) Background is a screen shot from the game.

Naruto

I'm not a big anime fan, but my wife loves it. She asked me to draw her a pic of Naruto, so here it is.

Previously on Battlestar Galactica

The best show on TV right now is BSG. I decided that I needed to add some BSG goodness to my blog. I did this piece 2 different ways. One in full color and then this Black and white with a hint of color version. I think this version makes the Cylon look more menacing. I took insperation for Starbucks look from Tom Hodges as I personally have a hard time drawing the female face. On the left is Helo and the right is Apollo. Hope you all enjoy.

The Force will be with you, always.

Nothing brightens a day like some Star Wars goodness. Thought I would put up the art work I did for the cover of the comic my Bro and I were working on.

Spidey Sense Tingling

Well I just finished the colors on this pic and decided i couldn't wait till tomorrow to post it. The sketch itself took me a day and 1/2 to draw. (making sure the perspective is correct drives me nuts) At first I was going to make this a sunny daytime shot, but after carefull consideration I realized that nighttime with rain was much more dramatic. Enjoy

You Shall not pass....

So i felt like throwing a little Gandalf your way today. Got lazy with the backgroud on this and threw some generic flame back there. I should really look into doing a better background on this one some time in the future. Oh well, hope you all enjoy.

A Long time Ago.....

A while back, my brother and I got this wild idea that we would like to try to create a Star Wars Comic Book. My Brother roughed out a story and I did a few prelim drawings. This is one of the few that I think captured the look we were going for. While the project has been put on hold,(brother is in college and has no time to finish story) I still doodle a bit with the characters we came up with.

1st Post

Welcome to my blog. I hope to be adding new art here every day......well not every day as i tend to get a little lazy. I will try to comment a little on each piece i add as to how i designed it and such. This piece was hand drawn on a 12x18 drawing pad using non-photo blue penicls. I then inked this in using brush pen and uniball vision. Colors were applied in Photoshop 7 using just my trusty mouse. I hate doing backgrounds but am forcing myself to add more and more. Well that's about it. Till next time......
