David Fincher's Zodiac

A pretty good film that suffered from a terminal case of fact-itis.
If you want to know what I mean by this comment, follow this link, and read the article(s).
Anyway, I'm almost done with this movie poster homage. I just need to get the copy on there and it'll be all done...

Indiana Jones

...and the Secret of the Sphinx, by Max McCoy.
It's  not a great book. In fact I felt it was profoundly lacking. But I felt it had a lot of potential and it did do a good job at creating some imagery.
As such I wanted to do this little homage.

Native Blood (W.I.P)

Based in the Testament song of the same name, off of the album Dark Roots of Earth.
Chuck Billy, Testaments lead vocalist, is himself Native American and they do the occasional tune about the topic. This particular song is about personal empowerment and becoming bigger (spiritually speaking) then ones transgressors.

The Devil in the Deep

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,

and with strange eons even death may die."
--The Necromicon 

Cthulhu work in progress

Some details of the finished ink. Now I need to scan it in and fill in some of the flat blacks and full colors in photoshop.

Death of a Maiden

Hard boiled, pulp fiction type thing.

The Beast in the Pit

And the colors.

The Beastie in the Pit

I just really wanted to draw a monster. So I drew a monster.
Colors to come.

Electric Crown

Aaaand done.

Live in London

Electric Crown

Aaaaand yet another piece based on a Testament song. I've got the ink on, very minimal ink as this is another high contrast image based on color and shape and only minimally on detail.

Next: color!

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

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.

Works in Progress

          

A lil personal project I'm working on of that 'ol crazy Canuck, Logan. I wanna do one for all of my all time X-Men: Wolverine, Colossus, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Beast and of course Professor X.

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...

Big Cat Diary W.I.P.

Work in progress - finally drew the leopard and the cheetah.

Now it's all about the colors...

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.

Moonraker

Done.
Here's a link to the last state of this I posted (last year).

Vintage Spidey

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.
