Alone in the Dark

John Prisk - Alone in the Dark
"...Where the Demons are Torturing Me..."


An homage to the classic thrash tune Alone in the Dark by one of the very few metal bands I still like,  Testament.

The version I've linked to (A re-recording off the album First Strike Still Deadly) was not sung by Chuck Billy but rather by Steve "Zetro" Souza, formerly of the band Exodus. Steve sang on this re-recording because, at the time, Chuck was undergoing treatment for throat cancer (from which he has fully recovered).

Anyway, enough of the thrash metal history lesson...

Monsters



A pencil drawing from my sketchbook. I like how it turned out so I'm gonna ink 'er in and then throw some digital colors on...

'Ol James Howlett

John Prisk - Wolverine

So this is the color scheme I finally settled on. I felt that the original color scheme was just too intense, too much, so I decided to dilute it down a bit.
Wanna see the other version? Just ask and I'll post it. Otherwise (while I may post the original at some point anyway) this is the one I'm going with.

Big Cat Diary

John Prisk - Big Cat Diary
Done.
*SIGH*
I really liked this show and I wish they would A) produce more episodes and B) make the episodes they did produce available in the bloody United States...

Skeletor

John Prisk - Skeletor
...From The Masters of the Universe.

This is part of a larger poster. The background is just there to fill the space and wont (at least I'm not planning on it) be part of the finished piece...

My version of his costume is a little different than the original. The changes I made are pretty minimal, but I gotta admit that I like mine better.

Vintage Spidey

John Prisk - Vintage Spiderman


Aaaaaaaaannnnnd done.
As stated earlier I wanted to combine the older cover designs of my youth with more modern lines. I "vinteged" her out in photoshop to add to the vibe.

Starting the new year off with a bang.

Vintage style Spidey comic cover. A classic villain and a classic layout (the lil faces in the circles, ala Steve Ditko style from the 60's) when combined with the colors that I will ultimately put on her will make for a traditional looking Marvel comic cover.
That traditional style will be juxtaposed with the more modern style of line art and I think that will look great when complete.
We'll see when it's done, right?
More to come.
