#Inktober 23/31 SwampThing. Shoulder is still a mess, so I'm unfortunately quite behind on the daily Inktober pieces and posts. So, I decided that instead of tryin to play catchup like last week, I'm just gonna draw/post whatever I manage to pull off! That said, I had fun with this one! Love me some Swamp Thing. Done primarily with the Pentel Pocket Brush. Oh, if you haven't been keeping up with my lady @theivorybunny's daily sketches, you should! She's totally kicking my ass this year lol! I'm fairly certain she's going to destroy me in the Art Battle at #BingCon this Saturday. Lastly, I'm not sure I've said this recently to those of you following me, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!!!! You are awesome and I loves you! #Inktober2018 #Stinktober #Art #Artist #ArtistOnInstagram #Illustration #BlackandWhite #PenAndInk #Brush #Pentel #PentelBrushPen #Micron #Valade #ValadeComix #HavingFun #SwampThing #DC #DCU #DCUniverse #FinishedNotPerfect #MakeStuff #ProgressNotPerfection #ThankYou https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTPZFABI6_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3surqgzccvpq

So, i rarely ever regram things but i sort of have to do it here. i have been seeing @valade09 working on this for the past couple of days and every time he adds something new i love it even more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This piece is awesome! And Im really enjoying the process of watching it get better and better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art_help #art_collective #art_we_inspire with @repostapp ・・・ Here's the full sketch that I shared a small snippet of late last night. I had a lot of fun drawing this while @theivorybunny was painting some badass sketchcards. If I have the energy after work, I'd like to ink this sucker tonight! No promises though lol. #WIP #ArtistOnInstagram #Art #Illustration #BlackandWhite #Sketch #Sketchbook #SketchDaily #Pencil #Valade #ValadeComix #MyMonster #ConceptSketch #MakeStuff #ProgressNotPerfection #DrawDaily #DrawEveryDay (at Springfield, Massachusetts)

Finished Commission! Good afternoon all!

This Commission piece was previously shared as a Patron Only Patreonpost, on account of my client having not been able to pick it up. Well, he grabbed it this morning, so now I can share it with everyone!

As the people that are close to me know, I get really nervous the night before handing off a commission, and this one was no different. I was legit having anxiety attacks due to my fear that he (or his wife, whom the picture is of and for) wasn't going to like what I did. I know it's just me being hard on myself, but I can't help it, it happens every single time.

Thankfully, he was beyond satisfied, and left here intent on picking up a frame before he went home! Suffice it to say, I am relieved. Of course, I'll be going through the same nonsense with the next two commissions I'm currently working on completing...

It's a never ending cycle with me!

Anyways, I hope you ladies & gents like it! I was a bit out of my element with this one, but glad I stepped up to the challenge!

I hope everyone is having a good start to their weeks!

*Done with pen, ink, brush and graphite on 11x17 bristol.

Destiny from MY MONSTER Finished!

After many trials and tribulations with the camera I managed to get a decent shot of the piece I promised to share today!

This is DESTINY from my comic series MY MONSTER! Although she won't be introduced until a bit farther down the line, I actually created her a few years before Dorian came into existence. In fact, she was originally the main character in one of the first comics I ever drew (many, many, many moons ago).

This piece was also my first experiment using a new fine tipped brush pen I was given by a good friend. Took a lot of getting used to as far as pressure goes, I have to really focus hard in order to not be heavy handed with a brush. That's what years of using technical pens can do to ya I guess lol.

I hope you dig the piece! This is the first one I've done; as I mentioned in last night's post, that my lady won't let me sell because she wants to hang it in our living room. Pretty awesome :D

Anyways, I hope everyone out there is having a fantastical and creative weekend making stuff!  I've got some commissions that need to be completed asap.

Oh, and one final reminder that my ETSY SALE will be over at midnight tonight! Now's a perfect time to get an original piece of art for as low as $20! C'mon, you know you want that E.T ;)

COMIX or STFU!

My Saturday Night :)

Inking a commission of The Invisible Man for someone while ink dries on some other stuff! I just started the ink wash stage, which is so much freaking fun!

Also, I'll finally be posting the finished MY MONSTER character piece that's on the left at some point tomorrow. I really like how she came out. Actually, my lady loves it enough that she refuses to let me sell the original and wants to hang it in the living room! I don't normally hang my own work up outside of my Studio, so her wanting to do that is kind of a big deal for me lol

But I will probably make prints available soon. I think it's about time I started offering pieces related to my OWN comics, and not other people's IP's. Unfortunately, other people's IP's are what people ask for the most, and I needs to eat ;)

Anyways, hope you dig the above WIP and sneak peek!

This is the only way I like to spend a Saturday night :D

Speaking of which, It's only 2am, so I know you're awake, what are YOU doing/working on tonight?

ETSY Shop Original Art SALE! Good afternoon all! I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I am running a limited time sale on all original art available in my ETSY SHOP! All the pieces you see here are have been reduced to $20 a piece, with sizes ranging from 5x7 to 8x10! Each piece is a one of a kind hand drawn illustration done in Ink, wash and white gel pen! I would love to say that I'm doing this to clear out space for new additions, but the truth of the matter is, I need to pay bills. And thanks to some cancellations on Ebay, I'm desperate. So, please take a look, and maybe you'll find something of interest! COMIX or STFU! \m/><\m/ www.etsy.com/shop/ValadeComix You can also support me and my work on PATREON!

"Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

One year ago today, we lost Leonard Nimoy.

Nimoy was such a huge part of my childhood, his voice was one of a kind and I was incredibly saddened at his passing.

This was the sketch I did as a tribute to him last year.

Leonard Nimoy 03/26/31 - 02/27/15 R.I.P good sir.
