LEGEND (LORD OF DARKNESS)

This is like one of my all time favorite fantasy movies, and this movie inspired me to become an artist. I still have old drawings I did from this movie when I was in the third grade, tucked neatly away in an old Ninja Turtle Folder my mom bought me to put my homework in. Fun stuff. I whipped out the old "prisma" color pencils, "See For Yourself" Watercolors, and a Blue Sharpie to render this one. The blurs and text were added with Photoshop. After doing digital art for almost the last seven years, I must say nothing beats traditional mediums. I really missed the textures and feel of the paper beneath my hands. It's great. I'll definitively do more of these.

30 Days of Night

Day-31 Gremlins

Happy Halloween!

Day-30 Army of Darkness

Day-29 Beetlejuice

Day-28 Teen Wolf

Day-28 BRAM STOKERS DRACULA

Favorite scene in all of "Bram Stokers Dracula" is like the first 5 to 10 minutes of the film when the Count turns his back on God and becomes a vampire. Usually I turn the movie off after seeing that first scene. The rest is ok, but I think that first scene was beautifully directed. Not to mention Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, and Winona Ryder are great actors/actresses. Done with Red Sharpie, Red Prisma Color pencil, Faper-castell pens, and See For Yourself Watercolors. Did the Font and enhancements in Photoshop CS5. This is my first traditional medium piece i've done in a long while. I'm not particularly happy with the pose or the proportions, but I think it was a first good attempt since I've been away from pen and paper for so long. My next one I'll try to do better.

31 days of Halloween!

This October I will be celebrating Inktober, created by the amazing illustrator Jake Parker. Everyday of October I will be doing one ink drawing. Since it is the month of Halloween, each drawing will be inspired by a Scary movie, or movie I like to watch for Halloween. Some of them will be my favorite movies, and some I have never seen before. First up is Ghostbusters! I decided to draw one of my favorite characters, Louis Tully played by Rick Moranis, saying my favorite line from the movie.

Also in this month my fellow illustrators Brian and Mel, each week will also be doing their own take on certain movie monsters.

This is my warewolf, but I think it looks more like a warecat, or even Chubaka a little.

This was also inspired by a lovely H.P. Lovecraft tale called "The Doom that came to Sarnath"

... same as Nick, see...

Inspired by "The Doom that Came to Sarnath"
