'Logan's Morning Sake; interrupted' Had this image pop in my head as I was drifting off to sleep. Logan walking off a stab wound from an assassin while in Japan; but he's more irritated that his sake was knocked over. My wife thought that victim in the back was Professor X which was a funny concept. Not my best ink work; still pretty rough in places but it was a fun challenge.

'Acceptance' - I've had this image in my head for a few years and I could never really capture what I had in mind. Pure spirits come to take ones that pass into the great beyond. The main spirit being a large purple tiger with blue eyes. Might be a bit more sappy from what I usually draw; but ogres are like onions. I even put in a little something for my mom. Originally an ink sketch and painted in Krita.

'Little Hellion' Just a quick rough sketch and digital painting. I didn't want to put too much thought into it, just belted out the sketch in an hour and painted it in 3. This was painted with mouse and keyboard mind you, my digital sketch pad is a piece of crap. Kind of inspired from the Diablo games. Came out more anime than I was aiming for but that's quite alright.

"Judgement time." A fairly quick and rough sketch of the ultimate lawman; Judge Dredd. Recently finished watching the final season of The Boys and was inspired by Karl Urban, even though this looks more like Stallone. Tried to keep Dredd somewhat comic accurate. I might have gone a little too rough and a little askew with some things, but drawing is a continuous lesson. And don't get me started about coloring; it's my weakest trait. Painted with Krita.

'The Night Unfurls' -The night sky looks to consume the realm with envious eyes.

My submission for the Lexington Ren Faire art contest. A quick ink drawing painted digitally. Fun and aggravating at the same time.

Pinhead needed a little color. Tried to make it like the Hellraiser IV Bloodlines cover as much as I could. I even edited his face and made his head wider to match better. In the original drawing I made his head a little narrow. But that let's you know that I didn't trace anything!

[necropolishobo]

"We have eternity to know your flesh." Pinhead - The Hell Priest; Lord of Lament. Recently saw the development diary for the Hellraiser game that's coming out and I'm very much looking forward to it. And I realized that I need to pay tribute to one of the coolest and most sinister characters created. Thank you Clive Barker and Doug Bradley! The drawing wasn't as complicated as I thought that it would be, although this is the second iteration as the first one was crap.

'Nemesis' Recently played Resident Evil 3 Remake and had to sketch this guy out. I gave him the original head from '99 because it scares me more than the new one. I remember my older brother playing the original over 20 years ago and I was terrified of the Nemesis. Belted out the ink sketch yesterday and digitally painted him today through Krita. About 9-10 hours total work. STARS!!

Quick little painting I did of an Illithid. You never forget the first time having one of these guys suck your brains out. The colors pop out more in person. 5-ish hours in acrylic.

Scarecrow is back! I wanted to see if color would add to Dr. Crane's demented behavior. And after staring at this image for some time, I see a very twisted Kevin Bacon. Sorry Kevin. But he would make an interesting Scarecrow. Painted in Krita.

[necropolishobo]

Scarecrow. "The doctor is in." I went through a series of thumbnails to find a scary enough face. Always came off too cartoony until I settled on something that scared me as a kid (still gives me the willies today) The severed head from Ghostbusters 2. Also tried to give him a surgical apron and some gloves since Jonathan Crane is a doctor. Might have gone a little heavy on the ink but it seems to work out.

[necropolishobo]

Killer Croc.....again. I put so much detail into him that he needed color. I wasn't too sure about the purple tones but I think they work well with the dark teal.

[necropolishobo]

Killer Croc. 5-6 hours. I used Deinosuchus as reference to make him feel massive and intimidating. I definitely put more thought into him than Clayface.

[necropolishobo]

Clayface. Quick 2 hour sketch. Been a little while since just an ink drawing.

I was going through some of my old artwork and came across my Forza 3 decals that I made almost 17 years ago. Spent hours making those decals that never saw the light of day. I remember specifically listening to 'Additional Controller' repetitively as I think it's the best track in the game. Corrupted hard drives and red rings of death made sure those files were lost forever, save for these few images I took back in 2009. If I remember correctly, you could make decals with 1000 different layers. Optimus and Birkin I turned into stencil art which made it easier but the Left 4 Dead decal I was most proud of, trying to put in as much detail as I could. A lot of people on Forza had their decal work stolen and sold through other profiles, hence why I never shared them.

'The One True King' Did some small refinements and darkened the background while still making it cohesive with the rest of the image. Wanted the foreground to shine more. The more I look at this, the more nostalgia I get for the Primal Rage games and toys. Sorry for kind of reuploading this piece.

[necropolishobo]

'The One True King' Painted in Krita. Took about a week and several iterations. Wanted to pay homage to the true King of the Monsters (no shade at Godzilla) Kong has always been there for as long as I can remember.
