I did a caricature of Evel several years ago when I was playing in a program called ArtRage! So here I am again playing in another new program to me called MediBang Paint. I thought a full-fledged, stars and stripes ode the the King of the Daredevils was due!. This was a fun piece and I really enjoyed reading about him and watching archival footage as I was working on this.

Enjoy!

My friend Austin asked me to make a picture for his project that involves zombies. Sounded like fun so I did it! Was a fun side project.

I never owned one. Never read the comic but something about him is kinda fun to draw. I drew him years ago as a test to see if I could "airbrush" in vector but nothing really since. The  owners of the property recently had and art contest and thought it would be fun. I apparently mis-read or didn't understand the rules and thought part of it was a straight up drawing contest. It wasn't. I felt stupid. You would think that they would have explained it better in the email I received right after I submitted. Nope. Oh well. I kinda like how this turned out tho.

Yup. It's that time. I usually refer to this as a "sketchbook dump" as you know, I am not fond of my sketchbooks. And yet, I keep plugging away at them. Some of these posted today are actually much larger than what is usually in my tiny sketchbooks as I felt the need to draw larger than I have been. I actually like one of these drawing so there is hope.

I came across the concept art for a poster for the original Star Wars done back in 1977(?) by, at least from what I could find to date, Howard Chaykin. It's a cool piece and I thought it would be fun to actually take the concept and finish it. I changed only a few things. The type as I don't think "kids" today really know who Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon are. Shame. I also changed the direction of the X-Wing flying behind Luke as I thought the rear-end of the ship seemed weird to me. I also added a few more.

Hope you like it. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Enjoy!






And here is the original comp:

Captain Pike, Spock and Number One! The crew of the Enterprise as seen on Star Trek Discovery! As polarizing as the show is, the second season with Captain Pike was awesome and now people are clamoring for his own show. I admit that I am one of them! I have always loved Captain Pike and dreamed of what his adventures may have been besides the one glimpse we were given. Maybe the time is now and my patience will be paid off!! We will see.
