Art by Sam

I draw art for fun. Maybe you'll like some. Any/All pronouns I'll be working to get more of my recent art up on the Redbubble soon.

Rocky, 2026

Watercolor and Pen

Saw Project Hail Mary today and was drop kicked out of an art slump by the insatiable need to paint this little guy who is one of my new favorite characters. I love Rocky so much, at least partly due to being a geologist. The moment I got home I literally sat down to paint him. This was just a little painting, but I'll probably end up making another, larger, more detailed one when the movie releases on streaming and I can pause to get all the close ups and reference images my little heart desires.

Is this months late to this trend? Yes. Do I care? No.

Star Trek: Enterprise edit to the Boots trailer song. Enjoy. This took longer than I care to admit

[samdrawsthings]

I also do editing sometimes

[samdrawsthings]

Test for a current wip. These were both quick sketches, so they look a bit different from each other. Accuracy wasn't the goal here. I wanted to see if I wanted to try doing full inking first or ink after like I usually do.

Left is ink after paint, right is ink before paint.

Chaos, 2025 Watercolor, gouache, and pen

I am really happy with how this turned out. I started playing Hades recently and I'm really enjoying it. The art of the game is soo good and I love the designs. When I first met Chaos I wanted to just chew them, their design is so good! I had to paint them.

I tried messing around with the border with them because it seemed to fit for them. I think the end result worked really well. The background was the hardest part and I had this sitting unfinished for days as I tried to figure out what I wanted to put.

This is a phone photo, and I really wanted to post this painting after scanning it in. But the watercolor paper is larger than the scanner at home. It's also larger than the scanner at my local library. And too small a scanner would not work for this piece. Staples had a big enough scanner but, uh... I'll post how that turned out below the cut.

Staples made them white

Here's a sneak peak for you all of a piece I've actually been working on for a few days. There's still a lot more to be done, but I think they're looking really good so far.

If you couldn't tell, this is fan art of Chaos from Hades. I started playing the game recently and I love their design so much.

Iguanodon, 2025 Pen

This is a sketch of one of the Crystal Palace Iguaodons. They're so inaccurate and I love them so much. I actually got to see these guys in person and it was amazing.

Prize Pumpkins, 2025 Watercolor and ink

Did a plein air painting. Insane how big some people can get pumpkins to grow.

Talon, 2025 Pencil

Was at the library with some time to kill and saw the Court of Owls Batman comic run. Decided to try doing a rough panel redraw. Reference below cut.

Sagittarius Rabbit, 2025 Pencil sketch

Rough sketch for today. This one is actually based on this post (link to my main blog which rebloged it with this drawing as well). Might do this one better later, but this is a quick sketch to get the concept down.

I'm not very good at drawing animals as you can probably tell.

Hand Print, 2025 Colored pencil

Look, the prompt today was supposed to be rocks, but I saw a destiel edit that made me cry so here we are.

Imperfect Geometry, 2025 Pencil

October 4th drawing. This was technically tomorrow's prompt but I didn't have a lot of time or energy today for art. The prompt was geometry. Done using a compass and ruler

Wheel of Fortune, 2025 Watercolor and pen

3rd piece of art for October and the one that's taken the longest so far. Prompt today was Tarot. I got a new travel set of watercolors in preparation for an upcoming trip and wanted to test them out. Meant to post this yesterday but decided late last night I wanted to add more detail to the pentacle so did that part today. Explanation of symbology below the cut.

This is Hellblazer fan art. The bottom figure is John Constantine himself. The smoke from his cigarette is forming the clouds along one side. The other figure on top is the Golden Boy, who is his twin brother in an alternate universe where John died instead of him. The yellow smoke his hand is in is a visual representation of synchronicity, specifically how he used his powers of synchronicity wave traveling to affect John’s life for the worse.

The Golden Boy is on top as he is seen as the perfect brother while John is on the bottom as he is seen as the imperfect brother who gives into sin. However, the pentacle in the middle, representing the wheel of fortune itself, is inverted for the Golden Boy but upright for John. Part of this has to do with my own personal feelings on the two of them. John is a bastard but he does at least care about people generally. He doesn't try and put people in harm's way, even if he is willing to do so. He's not perfect, but he's not pretending to be. The Golden Boy, however, sees himself as perfect and is very egotistical, not seeing any flaw in himself or any viewpoint other than his own. He causes direct harm to John’s life and tries to get John to merge with him to become more perfect and powerful.

Sword smear, 2025 Digital art

My prompt for today was sword. Wanted to try a classic smear frame sort of style. Think it turned out alright.

The Lamb, 2025

Crayon and pen

I'm going to try and do an art piece every day for the month of October. Not following any official list, making my own as I go. So this is the drawing for October 1st. I recently started playing Cult of the Lamb and it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Chol, 2025 Digital art

This is a few days late but this is the 3rd attack for Art Fight I did. Character is Chol Braveheart who belongs to Deerling1234. Alternate eldritch version below the cut

[samdrawsthings]

Purroa, 2025 watercolor and pen

Second attack for artfight. I tried using some new metalic watercolor paint but you can't really tell because the scanner didn't pick it up. Oh well. Just imagine shimmer on the jewelry and in the scales. Character is Purroa who belongs to JasnaRosa.

[samdrawsthings]

Granate, 2025 Colored pencils and pen

This is my first artfight attack and I think he turned out pretty good. Character is Granate who belongs to Heilith-mt.
