A sketchbook lays on top of an open art portfolio. The sketchbook shows a half-inked drawing of an angry looking dwarf king with a bajillion braids holding an art staff. Two black and white comic pages are visible in the open portfolio. They include images of a masked woman, a dwarf in armor, and three young boys.

Pondering the void as it ponders back
11x17 pen and paper
#surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #GrimDark
Pen drawing with a large black void filled with eye and star like structures in it with tentacles of night hovering amoung insectoid biomechanical forms and structures that flow to the right towards more structured forms dominated by a large or very close feminine figure. She is staring at the void while surrounded like ancient Egyptian mythological type figures with animal heads. The entire world is ancient structures carved with runes and organic shapes growing over them.

I think people frequently forget, too, how easily text and screenshots can get butchered into a 70 page callout. It is stunningly easy to make someone look awful with a little (or a lot) of inventive cherrypicking.

So. Before you engage, consider your own backyard. Are you safe?

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Wars or Trek, LOTR or Marvel

Interstellar is one of my top comfort movies.

I had a great time working with my client Paolo last year to develop a screenplay treatment and synopsis for his historical fiction project set in opulent Italy on the brink of World War II. Now I'm proud of him for publishing with Barnes & Noble for the novelization of his story. Available soon!

Two dwarves cuddling. One is a brunette with his hair pulled in a bun and spectacles. The other is a blonde and wears a crown. Dwarf warrior relaxes while seated, holding her mace loosely in her left hand. A gnome embraces an unconscious dwarf, staring up at something off-camera, concerned. A serpent hisses in the background. Two panel comic of a point-eared dwarf in his workshop, ministering over an unconscious elf.

Full color digital art illustration with a detailed background (actually a comic page) from my Out of Memory webcomic. It is a dark fantasy and horror comic (with a tiny slice of sci-fi) about a pacifistic warrior and his journey to find the truth about his family. The drawing depicts the morally ambiguous character "Yaoshe Baiqiao" (aka. "Yao") sitting leisurely in a traditional Chinese-style room. He is an influential politician and schemer who appears to be allied with the main protagonist. He is an elegant bishie (pretty boy) who appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with long, curly medium purple hair that extends past his shoulders and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing an elaborate red and purple outfit that resembles traditional Chinese hanfu and is holding a pipe that is shaped like a serpent's head in his right hand. Yao’s outfit is extremely expensive and is decorated with a good amount of gold and gemstones. His boots and sash are especially elaborate and have large, teardrop-shaped rubies embedded in them. Yao has an enigmatic smile on his face. A large wisp of pink smoke can be seen emanating from the mouth of the pipe. Created using Clip Studio Paint. Series cover for my Out of Memory webcomic. It features Kurosawa Makoto (黒澤 誠, "sincere black marsh") / Zhen Xinyi (真 心意, multiple meanings), one of the main protagonists in Out of Memory, facing off against one of the main antagonists, Baiqiao Yaoshe (白橋 妖蛇, “demonic snake of the white bridge”). A warrior with reality-warping powers, Xinyi is a pacifist who sees violence as a last resort. Yao, on the other hand, is a charming and manipulative prince who can be ruthless towards his enemies. Xinyi and Yao have a complex relationship that departs from the standard hero - villain dynamic. From the Out of Memory - Prologue. Princess Sheng Feng is shown falling from a great height, as the building she was hiding in is shown crumbling in the background. The brooch she wears at her waist emits a powerful light. Shortly after, a small white phoenix emerges from the brooch, and Sheng Feng reaches desperately for her. The phoenix grabs onto the back of Sheng Feng's collar, breaking her fall. They turn to face a large Chinese-style house, which has ominous wisps of smoke emanating from it. Character profile / illustration from my Out of Memory comic. It features several major characters, paired with their enemy and/or rival. The top row feature “Makoto Kurosawa” / Zhen Xinyi and “Yaoshe Baiqiao.” Makoto is a man who appears to be in his twenties. He has blue hair and light blue-purple eyes, and is wearing a black sleeveless top with a hood. He is smiling and appears to be beckoning the viewer. A crow is sitting on his left shoulder, giving the audience a side-eye. “Yao” is a pale man who appears to be the same age as Makoto. He has wavy purple hair and pink eyes with white pupils. He is wearing a dark red outfit that resembles a Chinese hanfu, and is wearing gold claws on his right hand. A large, purple serpent is shown behind him. The second row features "Gyoku Kurosawa" / Jade Scorpion and a villain whose name hasn’t been revealed. Gyoku is a dark-skinned man with wavy white hair and jade-green eyes with a ring around each pupil. He is wearing a black sleeveless top with gold trim and fancy shoulder-length gloves. Pinned to his cloak is a fancy, green and gold brooch that resembles a scorpion. He is looking to the side and appears downcast. The villain is a light-skinned man with black, pupil-less eyes and crimson hair tied in a ponytail. He's wearing a white blazer with gold trim and black faux fur. He is looking over his shoulder towards Gyoku (off-screen) and sports an ominous grin. The third row features Aisling Jespersen and Alba Ardiente, the main characters of the Heap Arc.
