Concept artist in the video game industry by day. Creating new worlds and characters for personal projects by night. Based in Japan. Here to share my traditional and digital art journey.
Usual suspects Gotham-style. Hope the cops don't have an eye for detail, or Batman and Nightwing are toast.

A friend pointed out that Azrael was a bit of a deep cut. Is that true? I thought Knightfall was pretty well-known.

Fun with pen, ink, and watercolor. #ComicArt #Batman #Ink #watercolor

Some watercolor sketches. The paper in this sketchbook was clearly not meant for watercolor, but hey, sometimes you just gotta do it.

More on doing art studies. One of my favorites is movie frames. Focus on composition and color, keep pretty loose otherwise.
This one is from Sicario. DoP: Roger Deakins.

Respect the Chef! A fun little piece from a while back. What could've possibly happened there?

There are different ways to do studies that yield different results. Try this: take the pressure off and just paint a simple study that features some different materials.

Another one from Rome. Gouache this time in my craft paper sketchbook. The way the shadow of that tree fell on the building with those irregular windows just begged to be painted.

A quick painting from my trip to Rome a few years back. Really dug these little trucks that were zooming around delivering vegetables and the like.

Drew this for the SMV Hub anniversary challenge, using their Rococo Shogun design. Cool art community on discord.

Just an old-school dumb violent samurai chop-a-thon scene. Pen and ink on B4 manga paper.

Here's the preliminary sketch for this previous post. Its a mix of rough line and silhouette blocking. I think if you can get a clear silhouette read at this stage, the final image will generally work.
