Spiral! Another cumulative warm-up nearing completion. She's been on my to-draw list for a while. Very glad to finish her!

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 -
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

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.

Cyborg ballet elf ninja! Can't talk much about this project yet but I got the all-clear to share some of the character designs I've been working up! I had a lot of fun with all of these-- this lady was the first I did of the 6

Extra slides for.. details 🤭

Choose your fighter

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.

@rogueprintco.bsky.social 's Tolktober is officially underway! Here's a WIP of my contribution to the project!
