The Broken

The Broken - John Prisk

Something from my little 5x8 sketchbook that I liked, so I gave her some color...

Thinly veiled social commentary,

Mountain Beastie

John Prisk - Mountain Beastie


The Beast of the Mountains...
Or whatever. Its just a little thing (literally) from my tiny 5x8 sketchbook. I liked it so I colored it.

Fantasy Worlds

John Prisk - Fantasy Worlds


A little ballpoint pen doodle from the sketchbook. I kinda liked it so I threw a little digital watercolor on it.

Agony

Agony - John Prisk

Another musically inspired piece. Again by the thrash metal band Testament on the song Agony off of their early 90's release The Ritual.
It's a song about prisoners of war in the Viet Nam era.

The Shore

The Shore - John Prisk

Digital output masquerading (sorta) as traditional art. The figure outline is traditionally done, but the rest of it digitally rendered.

Gojira

Godzilla - John Prisk


My homage to the movie from last year. I quite enjoyed it, caring little for the criticisms I heard.

Jurassic Worlds

Jurassic World - John Prisk

A sorta vintage-esque thing about a sorta vintage-esque thing. Dinosaurs you see.

I want to add some copy to this and turn it into a cover piece to a fictional Jurassic World travel brochure. But as of now it's as finished as I want it to be...

Spiderman V The Lizard

Spiderman/The Lizard - John Prisk

Sorta loosely based on McFarlane's Torment storyline from the launch of the Spider-Man title back in the 90's.
Very sorta loosely based.
Mostly it was done just because I wanted to do some Spidey stuff...

Three Days of Darkness

I procrastinated enough...
Another homage to the thrash band Testament.

To Boldly Go...

USS Enterprise - John Prisk


Another work in progress; this one based, quite obviously, on Star Trek.
I have a fair amount of rendering and texturing to do here, in addition to possibly doing a different planet for this one. The bottom gap is blank for now but will ultimately have some Star Trek related copy in it...

A Work in Progress

Blob Guy - John Prisk

The amorphous blob guy making an appearance in a new w.i.p.
Colors, copy and textures to come.

Weird Mars

John Prisk - Weird Mars

A work in progress.
This one is going to be "vintaged" out when all is said and done. The header of "Weird Mars" may change if I think of anything more pulpy...

Vintage Swamp Thing

Swamp Thing - John Prisk


Faux-vintage of course, but it looks somewhat convincing, no?
I've liked the character ever since I got some old issues illustrated by the great Bernie Wrightson when I was a kid. This was drawn kinda small in a sketchbook, so it suffers a little from scale, but I thought it would look cool as a vintage cover...

Childhood Hero

Flotsam and Jetsam - John Prisk

"...Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life. Didn't know what I had done 'til I turned on the light..."

As the copy suggests, this is an homage to the band Flotsam and Jetsam and their tune Childhood Hero, off the album Dreams of Death. The whole album tells the story of a kid/guy who is afraid of what he does (thinks he does) to others when he falls asleep...
Childhood Hero seems to be the impetus of the characters problems. He, in the course of a nightmare, is awoken suddenly by his father who is subsequently shot by the boy as he is in a state where he can't quite yet discern dream from reality...
