Ripley: What’s this?
Corporal Hicks: That’s the grenade launcher. I don’t think you want to mess with that.
Ripley: You started this. Show me everything. I can handle myself.
[chuckles]
Corporal Hicks: Yeah, I noticed.

Well, it goes without saying the concert inspired me, so here’s my latest reflecting that. I need not only another Oasis but another trip to the West Coast. I also included the photos that inspired this piece.

Finally found the filter I was happy with to put over this matte painting. I included some of my concept art characters in there. I included the matte painting without the filter. Which do you prefer?

Updated another character now that I’m realizing my older characters are starting to look a little outdated. The face is someone familiar because for some reason whenever I try to draw an original face, I accidentally draw my own.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update of this character, so here he is. Just some more adjustments to the hair, pants, and maybe the angle of the front shoe and he’s finished.
Also here is AI doing a horrible attempt at making this look better.

Me: *buys art from other artists*
Also me: *takes months if not years to actually hang them up on walls*
And there’s so many more that still need to go up.

And he’s finished, signed and named. The starting shape was definitely not what I eventually went with, but those are simple guidelines until I get something better.
And let’s be real, you ain’t getting anything this good from “AI Artists”.

Okay, I lied. I used Idris Elba as a reference image for this character, but I wanted to be all sly about it and you all shamed me! Shame on all of you! I’m deleting any and all traces of this image now. It’s gone. You’ll never see it again!
Okay, that’s another lie. This piece is almost done.

A tale of three faces on the same body. This original character is ABSOLUTELY NOT Idris Elba. Do not sue me.

Surface Pen update: I found a video saying that if you smacked the tip against the keyboard lightly, it’ll work, and wouldn’t you know it, it worked!

Started a new piece and of course my Surface pen stopped working randomly. It’s been four years so maybe it’s time to get a replacement?

This year I decided to do some seasonal pieces for Halloween and Christmas, while at the same time finishing up some original concept art, improving a matte painting I did thanks to not changing my printer cartridge, dabbled in some game dev, and printed some new business cards.
