Concept art for a project i’m working on. See me, this and others at #Blerdcon on July 12-14 at #HyattRegencyCrystalCity and visit our table A-114 this year.

Here is a recent commission I did for a client’s project. Think of a mash-up of #TreasureIsland meets #lovecraft horror meets #ArthurianLegends. It’s a lot but was fun to come up with a concept. We went through many iterations before landing on this during the inking stage. I thought it worked and like the story of the image. Please don’t ask me tomorrow if I’m happy with it. #neversatisfied This was a fast one and I was still recovering from #blerdcon and some family issues, so I took a shot and did this piece exclusively with #applepencil #ipad and #Procreate using @claytonhenry_artist’s brush. #wouldhighlyrecommend Overall it was an ok experience to work that way and faster but it reminded me that I will never give up working traditional. #AnotherToolInTheBox For you #processjunkies swipe to see the development work.

Working on some test pages for a comic anthology I’m hoping to have ready for #Blerdcon2024. I’m #still not sure of the look I want. I’m being reminded that the language of illustrations vs the mechanics of comic pages are vastly different and trying to find the balance is always the struggle but fun when a plan comes together. My Mac crashed so instead of using traditional and #ClipStudioPaint, I used traditional and #Procreate and #ApplePencil.

Something I’m working on for #Blerdcon2024. This started off as a rough ink sketch/drawing, I imported it into #Procreate and futz around until I was happy, not sure if it’s the final but this is my stopping point, for now. Might become a print or a part of this year’s artbook. Either way, I’m calling this one The Dark Knight. #NotAI #applepencil #penandink #digitalart #occult #MonsterHunter #forsaken #desertus
