Goodbye.

Today my grandfather passed away, and I just wanted to go home and be left alone. On the way though, I looked up and saw this in the sky. In your lifetime, you can probably count on your hand how many times you've seen one. What are the odds of me seeing this the day I hear news about my grandfather?

Maybe he was trying to say goodbye to me.

I love you too Grandpa.

Face Sketch

I've been so busy with work, and other side projects, it's hard to devote time to personal art. I try to make some time before I leave from work for some personal sketching or whatnot. Took about 35 mins. to be content with this.

It's the start of a new year, so I need to get back on track :)

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a good Halloween. I have a buddy coming by so we'll more than likely be playing some games and watching movies.
I don't know what I was going for with this but the spirit of Bawadimann and Gil Elvgren came through, which took about 30-40min. max.

But nowhere near as close.

Have a jolly Ghoul time!

'nother face

Just another sketch of a face before heading to bed.
Need to do something more dynamic if I work on another head sketch.
About 30 mins, give or take to make it look decent...

Here's to Monday.

Repleasure

Got the title from a verse in a song.
Just wanted to draw a face...think it came out okay.
I'm tired and need to shake this mood I'm in.

So here's looking towards the new week.

Paint before sleep

This took a little less than an hour to do. I'm not so great with background speed painting but, this was something that I tried to flesh out from my head, which isn't easy.
To me, there are some things in life that you just can't reach or attain, and at times this picture pretty much sums it up for me.
I can't wait for this week to end.

Lobo

I loved when Simon Bisley worked on this guy during the late 80's-early 90's--his art brought so much to the character that I easily became a fan. This is pretty similar to my Cable pose--dead bodies and all, but I wanted to see if I can do a better one than my previous one, can't say I succeeded, but who am I to say? Wish I added a giant shiv to give it more of a homage to the x-mas special aside from Santa.

HB pencil with an H mechanical for details.

p.s. chains are a pain in the butt.
