Five of six! Had a lot of fun with this one; peppering his look with evil little easter eggs. The guitar here is modeled on the B.C. Rich guitar "Beast," but with the edges filed down into axe blades 🤘
Any guesses what the arm tattoos reference? I'm a sneaky lil guy

These stories have existed for the entire history of comics. Creators deserve a stake in characters they create (yes even legacy characters).
Also design work in comics is very often treated as an 'invisible' part of the page rate. That's $0 earned to create a new character from scratch -

Three of six! Derpy Frog Murder Bot was a lot of fun. Go to draw on my old tech drawing experience a bit for the firearms which wa a nice throwback for me. Tried to push my foreshortening a bit with all the and I think it's the strongest with this guy

The second of the 6 characters. You've heard of the Scorpion King, but have you heard of the Spider Queen?
Had a lot of fun working out the anatomy here and how to go from lady to spider. Spider bits based loosely off of the wolf spider.

Pretty excited to share these guys! All 6 are part of a secret, unannounced project I've been working on in-between comics stuff for the better part of a year now.
I hope we can talk about it soon but for now it's just the characters!
I'll be sharing more in the coming days

A lil Rob Battinson sketch I was able to sneak in between classes recently. Wasn't going for a likeness necessarily, moreso just an attempt capture his kind of angular aspect. Went with a more traditional suit than the one in the Reeves film too, for reasons
idk Happy Halloween!

Tolktober day 10: Isildur
I don't usually draw in negative so I was excited to try it with old Izzy here. In the context of the lore it's hard to not sympathize with the weight of his choices. Tried to honor some of that anguish and shame in this piece while still not exactly letting him slide.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival
‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival
The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia
There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI.
And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries. Continue reading...
