Vintage "Zombie Comix"

Yup. More "vintage" work based on music. In this case it's based on White Zombies song Electric Head Pt.1 (The Agony).

Not much else to add I guess...

The Indiana Jones Adventures

This piece took me FOREVER. In all I'd say I spent nearly a month on this one.

But it was fun, I am a big Indy fan and this was a project I've wanted to do for a long time now. That being said I'm sorta luke warm on the results of this effort. It has a lot of elements I really like, but some I do not. Luckily the beauty of photoshop files allows me to go back and edit this if I am inspired in some way in the future.

The original title of this one was Indiana Jones and the Idol of Dinosaur Island. I changed it to just Indiana Jones Adventures when I edited out some of the "Dinosaur Island" imagery that didn't work well with the rest of the piece.

The Dark-Bat-Knight-Man

I got the inspiration from this one from my image Bound By Ego. While I was working on that one the brick wall just screamed Batman to me. So I did this.

I think I need to rework a few elements in it though...

Abstract Expressionism and Epiphany

This is basically what I was thinking of (minus the header) for the cover of a sketchbook I'd like to try and get published.

The drawing is fairly simple - it only took about two hours to pencil and ink. The digital colors took quite a bit longer.

Death - Redux

This little guy is an older drawing. I first uploaded it HERE. I decided the colors needed attention. The background in the original was a little to distracting due to its sheer volume. So I reworked that and went on to work in some textures into other parts of the image to make it a little more gritty. I also added in a benday dot pattern into the whites of Death to make that part pop a little better.
Over all I think the rework makes it a better image. I mean for what it is. Drawing creepy stuff like Death can only be so cool before they become kinda dumb.

All in all though I like the revisions.

I spent about an hour reworking this image.

Earth Like

I have a simpler variation of this one up as my profile picture on FaceBook. When I first envisioned this one I was thinking of an E.L.E. or an extinction level event. I had a VERY large bluish photo manipulation of an expanding planetary nebula that looked to be ready to impact the planet.
However it was a bit gaudy.
This more subtle blue emanating from the backside of the planet is much more appealing to the eye.
This is the same planet that appeared in an earlier space scene of mine. This time I was experimenting with a new way to add in a more convincing cloud cover on the alien world. I think it works much better then my previous attempts.
The background star field is a Hubble Space Telescope image of M13 - The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules.

Bound by Ego

Hammerin out some more fine arts oriented ideas I've been mulling over lately. It's more social commentary as I seem to be stuck on the artificial nature of the modern human condition.

In total this took a number of days to get to this stage, mostly due to playing with ideas. I didnt know exactly where I wanted to go with the original drawing and through some extensive experimentation I ended up here.

I'm happy with the result.

Meet the Creeper

Done as a little homage to Rob Zombie and the Song Meet The Creeper off his album Hellbilly Deluxe. I'll color this one in someday, but not today...

GO! Team Venture!

Just working on my horrifically weak design skills.
Okay, not JUST... More importantly I was having some fun. I love The Venture Bros. on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim.

'Nuff said...?
