If you don't know the fantastic Gabby Ortiz, you are missing out big time! She's a great wrestler, huge Philly sports fan, and incredibly friendly/nice to her fans.

I was struggling with some serious artist block, and wound up drawing her to break through it.

Done in Procreate.

"Chrissy, this is for you."

Old dog, new trick.

Painting (traditional and digital) has always kind of escaped me. My brain works in lineart, not blocks of color...so I've been working on that. Here's today's practice: one of the most badass scenes in four seasons of Stranger Things, and the process. Eddie Munson was easily the best character of the season. I'll try not to spoil any more for those who were late to the season like myself.

Done in Procreate on my iPad Pro. Thanks for looking.

Happy Earth Day!

I was hired to be the in-house artist for a start up company that launched today. They are carbon negative right out of the gate.

The company is called Deranged Chicken, and can be found at http://derangedchicken.com. They're all about eco friendly fashion, and tye first few items are up in their shop now. New products will be added weekly.

Here's some of the promotional stuff I've done for them. Mostly not my usual style, but still mostly fun to do.

🎶I Don't Love You Anymore🎶

The world is fucked up and scary right now...so here's a drawing I did of John Cena dancing in his underwear to brighten your day.

I've been asked by numerous people to go back and do illustrations for the episodes of Peacemaker I didn't already (basically 1-6), so I figured "what the hell". Hope it makes you laugh, at least.

Here's Episode 1.

🎶You Can't Kill My Rock 'N Roll🎶

Probably the last #Peacemaker peice for a bit, but I had to do something for the finale. Easily the best hour of TV I'll get all year.

I'm going to miss this cast dearly while waiting for season 2...especially John Cena's Peacemaker. I grew up with/in toxic masculinity and it's been a real challenge, since I now have kids, to purge that shit. I don't want my son to grow up as fucked up in the head as I am, so I'm trying very hard to be better. It was weird relating to that part of Christopher Smith's struggle in a way I really wasn't expecting out of this show. That whole conflict between what a man "should" be and what a man CAN be. Fucking weird to have a character I really hated at the end of The Suicide Squad become one that I really came to care about over 8 episodes.

Anyway, sorry for the novel. Enjoy the drawing!

PEACEMAKER ART DUMP! 🧜‍♂️

I haven't been very active on tumblr lately, but I have been drawing a ton of stuff...so here's some Peacemaker artwork I've been doing because the show is spectacular and I'm now very sad the season is over.

Everything here was drawn in Procreate and Medibang Paint on either my iPad of Galaxy Tab S7.

I haven’t drawn Leela in waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, and I missed her.

So here’s my favorite savage taking on some Daleks.

Drawn in Procreate. I really am growing to love that app despite it’s shortcomings (looking at you, layer limit and absence of some basic features). My Note 10+ has been mostly a pocket sketchbook to rough out on lately.

Happy Easter, tumblr...have a zombie Jesus!

Drawn in Procreate, condemned by my extended family.

"I have been a voice with no body. A body, but not human. And now a memory made real. Who knows what I might be next?"

Drew this one after my second or third watch of the WandaVision finale. Which, while fantastic, I think wasted one of the most heart-wrenching moments of the MCU. "GOODNIGHT CHAPS"?!

A Family Outing.

I originally just did this one with Geralt, but he looked lonely. So I decided to add Yennefer and Ciri.

I've been devouring Witcher media like crazy during the quarantine. I played Witcher 2 back in the day a bit, but now I'm all in. I read/listened to all eight books, watched the Netflix series, all the comics, and have beaten Witcher 3 twice now. My NG+ is a thing of beauty right now. Very excited that Netflix is planning a prequel series and an animated movie.

Done in Medibang Paint on my Galaxy Note 10+.

Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer!

Hiya, Tumblr! Long time, no see! Haven't posted here in a long time, and thought I would start again. Here's a drawing of Abslom Daak, who we all know in a big fan of (beard added because, well, I felt he needed one).

Hope everyone is doing alright during the current apocalypse.

An old drawing of Eleven, Amy, and Rory. Drawn in Autodesk Sketchbook.

Feel like I'm drowning lately, and I'm usually pretty good at maintaining. But lately...woof. It's like constantly being crushed at all sides.

Took a little bit of the weight off my chest just scribbling this out real quick.

[ragnaroktopus-ink]

Happy New Year, Gang!

That's it, no smart ass comments. Just hope you all have a good year.

Death Fae for a story I'm working on. Think tiny, buxom Grim Reapers mashed with The Furies. My wife loves them.

Done on my Galaxy Note 8 in Medibang Paint.

So, I love Hellboy. Mike Mignola is one of the reasons I started drawing. I'm super excited about the new Hellboy movie...

...but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why they went with THAT trailer after months of news that the movie was going to be more horror-centric. There's so much bitching right now from other Hellboy fans about it. Me? I have faith the movie will rock.

Anyways, sketched this out real quick. Medibang Paint on my Galaxy Note 8.

If Bradley Walsh didn't break your heart in this scene, I don't think you're human. I expected to draw something with The Doctor fighting giant spiders after watching this episode... not something super sad, but hell if he didn't make me forget I was watching TV for a second there.
