Anyone else ever feel this angry?

#angry #rage #frustration #cartoon #clipstudio #myart #stickerart
A cartoon drawing done using ClipStudio of an exaggerated angry face. Steam bellows from the ears and nostrils of a very angry, red eyed, sharp toothed, evil looking S.O.B.

A cybernetic cyberpunk fresh from the iPad. Thinking of turning him into a sticker because he’s such a looker.

#cyberpunk #cyborg #clipstudio #jamesjimbojim #art #character #punk #anarchy #retro
A cybernetic cyberpunk stands and grimaces menacingly. He has a bright fluorescent mohawk that starts of purple and turns green. He’s wearing retro 80s sunglasses, purple singlet, camo pants and fluorescent green socks with purple high top sneakers. His right arm and chest is robotic and silver with cables that run to the back of his head. He’s total trash.

Any Revy fans? She’s one of my favourite high octane, short fuse characters. ‘Black Lagoon’ is definitely in my top 10 manga. #manga #blacklagoon #ink #sketchbook #mangaka #anime #drawing #sketch

Designing up a little anime inspired sticker just for fun. Expressing my frustration at being a cog in the capitalist machine. #sticker #anime #art #design #sketch

Wanted to do something analogue (non-digital) so opted to draw and ink one of my favourite manga heroines - Rally from ‘Gunsmith Cats’. #manga #gunsmith_cats #gunsmithcats #sketch #ink #myart #anime

Some character sketches for a strip that never came to fruition.
A character sketch of 3 cartoon characters developed for an IT themed comic strip that was never finalised. The three characters are Zam, Trent and Kassie. All sketched in pencil in a cartoon style.

Another sketch from the back catalogue. Goth girls have the best fashion sense. #goth #gothgirls #sketch #cartoon #drawing #gothic
A pencil sketch of a cute goth girl with long black hair, her fringe covers her eyes and you can only see her nose and mouth. See wears a skull hair clip on one side of her hair and a spotted bow on the other. She has a spiked choker on with an accompanying bat necklace. She has a cute corset on above a short black skirt on with jagged hem, thigh high opaque black tights and knee high black boots.

Making plans for the weekends watching. Two classic cyberpunk themed anime from the late 80s early 90s. Can’t wait! #anime #cyberpunk #gokumidnighteye #adpolice #neotokyo #animation #japanime
Image showing the covers of two anime DVDs. The first is AD Police, a cyber punk classic that inspired the anime series Bubblegum Crisis. The second is Goku Midnight Eye, another cyber punk anime. Both are from the late 80s early 90s.

Big G likes to draw. #godzilla #gojira #kaiju #draw #cartoon #sketch
A photo of a classic Godzilla toy holding a green pencil and posed to look as though it’s drawn a cartoon style illustration of Godzilla destroying a city.

Some days are hard going and can leave you feeling like a corpse. Today has been one of those days. #cartoon #zombie #zombified #hard_day #drawing #sketch
Sketchbook open to a page displaying a black and white full body cartoon of an open mouthed zombie reaching out toward the viewer. A set of black ink uni pin pens sits close by.

An old sketch from 2020. A concept piece that I need to revisit, refine, and finalise :-) #sketch #sketching #art #sketchbook #artist

Trapped inside on a rainy Sunday afternoon seems like the perfect time to assemble some Fireforge Ashigaru Shooters. 1 company armed with arquebus, 1 company armed with yumi (bows). #fireforge #ashigaru #samurai #sengoku #japan #miniatures
