Head over to @elayarson to get my new shirt for him! A little goth, a little punk, and a lotta vampires! They will be print to order for a limited time so get one while you can! #shirt #limitededition #elayarson #goth #punk #synth #art #bobradshaw #merchandise #fashion #tshirt #horror #80s #vampire

Slowly filling in all the core shading. Building my layer structure for importing it to photoshop for color. #wip #process #shirt #bannersaga #videogames #videogameart #shirtdesign #shadeing

Inking my man Bolverk for @bannersaga . His inks are coming out a lot looser and heavier than the trio design. I think in part its due to the different stylistic intents. They’re more Dream Evil/Hammerfall, Bolverk is more Dimmu Borgir/Amon Amarth. I want him to feel a bit like he belongs to a different band. #bannersaga #heavymetal #amonamarth #dimmuborgir #napalmrecords #videogames #videogameart #vikingmetal #berserk #process #wip #shirtdesign #brutal

Very excited about my upcoming designs for @bannersaga . Getting to play with such a rich cast of characters is the stuff of illustrator dreams. #shirtdesign #illustration #art #videogames #bannersaga #battle #epic #metal #frazetta #drawing #process

I should have waited to post my reaction to The Last Jedi later. I should have given it time to process. It’s REALLY good. Not your typical Star Wars film and that’s a good thing. Luke has some of the best character work he’s ever had. 

One of my friends commented this on Facebook: “ I think Luke’s characterization and choices in the third act are some of the most authentically Luke Skywalker things they could have done. People who wanted some super jedi Luke (and if what he does isn’t super jedi I don’t know WHAT is) are forgetting that this is the same man who defeated the galaxy’s greatest evil by throwing his lightsaber away, not picking it up. Luke has always been a terrible fighter, but he’s great at saving people. Rian Johnson absolutely got it. And he brings Luke to a place where he gets it too.  Even in his self loathing he’s so mature. His history lesson about the Jedi was AWESOME. Right out the door he’s pulling down the idolized pillars of Star Wars myth. His acts in the finale are like him placing a cornerstone for the future. He’s stripped the jedi order to the dirt it was built on and his last act is to show everyone what the jedi should REALLY be about, to build on THAT. “

Hi. This was me. I said these things.

Eat it, Billy. There’s only one King in Hawkins. @uncle_jezzy has my favorite character arc in all of Stranger Things. #kingsteve #steveharrington #joekeery #strangerthings #king #art #wip #drawing

My girlfriend got my Dracula shirt from @teevillain the other day! Which also happens to feature her likeness! I'm wearing my first TeeVillain shirt from a few years back and a @sevenkingdomsofficial hoodie! #relationshipgoals #teevillain #Dracula #artist #model #shirts #shirtdesign #art #selfie #sevenkingdoms #metalband #napalmrecords #awesome

I started this four months ago at least. Finally coloring it. Keeping it kind of simple and flat. Resisting the urge to over render it. Aiming for soft pastels over my usual neons. #alien #xenomorph #love #romance #monster #hrgiger #Ripley #sigourneyweaver #pink #nostromo #beautiful #embrace #art #illustration #shirtdesign

Today it's my boy @elayarson and spooky witch stuff. Been sitting on this piece for a bit waiting for a direction to hit me. I realized it needed to be smaller and framed. Gonna use solid colors for the robes and background to save myself some headache and create focus around the details. #synthwave #gothwave #dark #darkart #magic #workinprogress #wip #drawing #fantasyart #horrorart #witchcraft #spooky #doom #doommetal #merch #shirtdesign

Most of the process for the demon girl sketch I’ve been noodling. I have no idea why it drops the last five hours into a half a second frame but all those highlights and adjustments at the end did not happen that fast haha! #art #artwork #video #process #heavymetal #metal #demon #devil #blacksabbath #doommetal #wicked #succubus #illustration #drawing #skull #gothgirl #hail

Jumping between multiple projects. Not unusual for me. I get burned out really fast if I’m working on one thing for too long. Just how I’m wired. #mhb #monstersholdingbitches #sexy #nsfw #wip #process #blackandwhiteonly #procreateapp #figure #monster #scifi #horror #metal #heavymetal #deathmetal #shirtdesign
