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...

Unnatural Selection

Flotsam and Jetsam Unnatural Selection - John Prisk


An homage to a band I really like, but their one album I couldn't stand, unfortunately...

After Brad Wright

John Prisk - After Brad Wright

A little thing I did as an homage to artist Brad Wright. He does some crazy cool stuff and you should check him out if you get the chance...
Anyway, this is me, tipping my hat...

Coloring is Fun

Kids Stuff - John Prisk

Kids Stuff - John Prisk

Kids Stuff - John Prisk
At the behest of my niece, I did some stuff for her to color.
She wanted bunnies, kitties and dragons... I'm still working on the dragons.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider - John Prisk

Ghost Rider has always been a Marvel character I thought had a ton of potential, but was never quite used/applied right (in my opinion). There's been some cool stuff, but this character could have had a much greater story arc thus far...
Anyway, it's another W.I.P.

Three Days of Darkness (W.I.P.)


A work in progress. Based on the Testament song of the same name.
There is more rendering, coloring and texturing along with an additional element I have yet to doodle up for it...

Farewell, My Lovely

John Prisk - Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely

Based on the Raymond Chandler hard boiled detective novel of the same name.

The story revolves around Philip Marlowe, an L.A. based private detective (center) as he investigates a variety of interrelated situations. Situations which involve, among others, Moose Malloy (left) and his lady friend Velma (right) for whom he is desperately searching, and a whoooole boatload of crime and corruption.

John Prisk - Farewell My Lovely


The lines for a little thing based upon the Raymond Chandler book of the same name, featuring his hard boiled pulp detective, Philip Marlowe.
Colors to come.

Aliens

John Prisk - Aliens

A re-working of a slightly older piece, redesigned to be reflective not of just the Alien franchise, but of the movie Aliens (the second in the series) in particular.

Admittedly, while I wanted to do this as an homage to Aliens, I used the tagline for the first movie on the franchise, Alien.  Mostly because it's a bitchin' tag line.

Empire

John Prisk - Queensryche - Empire
Yeah... A lot of art based on music these days, and especially a lot based on Queensryche tunes.
Colors to come...

Anarchy X - Redux

John Prisk - Anarchy X


This is a reworking of the piece found HERE.
In the end I felt the previous version was a little too busy and I didn't like how I had ultimately rendered Dr. X.
This version, I feel, better represents the musical interlude on which this image is based.
