Happy Halloween!

Something monstery from the sketch book--Gill-man from Creature From the Black Lagoon, easily the coolest of the old Universal monsters. Freaks the hell out of me.

Bebop

Youse wants a drawing of Bebop on All Hallow's Eve Eve? Duuh, sure thing, boss! This is kind of a Halloween post, right? I mean, Bebop's a monster of sorts. You decide!

One final Hack/Slash sketch card

Last one I'll throw up, for now--a nice blood splattery one, because 'tis the season. This one was a lot of fun, layered red acrylic paint on over an ink and copic drawing, then used a toothbrush for the spatters of blood-rain or what have you. Almost didn't want to give this one up.

Another Halloween Hack/Slash sketch card

Another of my recent sketch cards for 5finity's series of Tim Seeley's Hack/Slash in finer comic shops just in time for Halloween. Pigment pens, copic markers, white out pens, love of the game.

Hack/Slash sketch card

Just in time for Halloween, 5Finity productions have released a sketch card series of Tim Seeley's Hack/Slash. I have 16 in the mix this time around. Lots of fun to do--the most fun came from covering everything in blood with copious use of red copics.

Real Magazine cover work

Here's the cover for volume 5 of the Elementary Edition of REAL: The Canadian Kids' Magazine, out later this month I believe. One of my interior illustrations was appropriated for the cover as well, which is awesome. I'll probably end up posting some of the interiors weeks from now, too.

Leonardo Leads

After a brief turtle-break I decided to come back to the Ninja Turtles and finish off the quartet with Leonardo. Somewhat unfortunately, I did this right after finishing up a kind of big and rather cartoony illustration job, so I think the inking style especially is kind of different from the ones that came before it.

A big part of the reason I ever started drawing as a little kid was to try and be able to draw a really good Ninja Turtle. Getting there.

No Bad Dogs

Piece I did for the short story "No Bad Dogs" written by Laura Best, appearing in volume 4 of the grades 4 to 8 edition of REAL Kids Magazine. Wanted to stick this in my portfolio eventually so I figured I'd share it here as well.
