Ghouls N’ Ghosts, Bionic Commando, Boktai, and the Turbografx / PC Engine favorite Legendary Axe.

Proof that sometimes a splash page ought to be broken up into individual images when it comes time to color them.

Famicom / PC Engine Corps. NES / NEC Squad. The Nintendo / Turbografx Gang. Etc.

Samus Aran, one digital, the other traditional. Well, sort of. The color is Photoshop in both.

Digital line and color over a throwaway Colerase sketch on a Moleskine. Fancy pants.

Down Megabit Lane.

Random sketches and illustrations from the past few months. Top one’s actually pen and ink over Colerase pencils, in an actual sketchbook. Blasphemy in the modern world of Cintiqs and production schedules, I know. Don’t tell any animation line producers or reps from Adobe.

Random Samus illustration. Doing calisthenics.

So it’s been awhile. Some recent Draw This In Your Style projects from over on the Instagram. (And yup, this is a reupload. I have no idea how ratio’d things get here if you don’t post every minute, so this is partially a test to see how bad it’s gotten.)

Second set of panels, for my tens of viewers.

And one fresh off the presses. Forgot the sound effects, but didn’t overlook the cursing, take note.

Here’s another oldie, from a year ago. Heavy influence from Soldiers of Fortune / Chaos Engine, SNES era.

Here’s one that I forgot about. Simple color stuff is when I’m happiest I think; it’s also probably the most difficult since there isn’t that extra level of detail to distract from the drawing itself.

Mixed media. Photography by Instagram photographer and anime aficionado @karasushirow (@superkitsunecom).

Well shoot, guess I never posted these here.

My version of Space Harrier.

Some fun production stuff I did w/ Mr. Ben Bates for his Powerstars series.

Character designs and story by @benbatesdraws . Pteranodon ship design by @dustinweaver

Some lame comic panels I did of Eastwood and Bronson playing cops & robbers. Or, detectives & detectives. Something like that.

Some recent #drawthisinyourstyle’s that I did over on IG. Original #skyfishking concept and design by @jakemorrisonart (am unsure if he does his work in CG?). Additional inspiration by @meekius. (This one’s drawn for sure.)
