Commission: Glam Rock Gorilla

I GOT A COMMISSION OF ALL THINGS. The Dude von Doom gave me this mock-up from something I think is called Hero Generator.


I did a page of sketches first, which I streamed so that he could see how it was developing. There was some discussion over how the guitar should look, and Pablo, another of the creators for this character, eventually came up with the banana side-bit which I quite like.
After that I did a blue-line sketch using one of the poses I'd sketched out, trying to keep it active.
Inks and color followed, and I used a gradient style to shade I'd seen used well before. (All that stream-watching is paying off!)

The background is a combination of textures. This was fun to draw, if a bit time consuming.

Did a lot of concept art for the story Kait and I are working on, and one requested Steampunk Inspector Gadget.

Oh god my hand hurts.

Starting a long overdue revenge story on Drawchan. Time to channel a little Frank Miller.





He murdered a bunch of (innocent?) drawhores. Myself included. Justice must be served. Even if I've gotta get dirty to do it. BC

AT LAST I PARTAKE IN THE TIME HONORED TRADITION OF THE PANTY SHOT.
Not my neko-catgirl-desu-desu-nyaaaaaaaa~ , the lovely Junk just keeps making characters that GODAMMIT I WANNA DRAW.
Also I am toying with how Bon should look as an older dude. Kinda makin' me think of Willem Dafoe here a little. The tattoos are veve for Dhambala (chest) , Baron Samedi (closer hand), and Papa Legba (half-turned hand) . Bon's big into the voodoo, being a Louisiana boy with some close personal experiences. And I can already tell these tattoos are gonna give me trouble, but they're such a nice touch I don't think I can part with them (or try to convince my co-writer to, more accurately.)

Streamed some ~TRADITIONAL MEDIA~ last night, which was an awkward process of dubious visibility, but the poor suckers who came along for a watch seemed entertained. I'll have to get an honest to god webcam and a better set-up if I want to make that a more regular process at all.

In no particular order:




Color and the wolf-guy were requests.

Work in progress. Wrote it as I went, with a brief IM hashed out intro that I need to illustrate. This is why the dialogue sucks and feels clunky. Gonna rewrite a little after some sleep. This was meant to go somewhere frivolous but kinda wandered into dark waters. The curly-haired Cajun belongs to my co-writer Kait.

Edit: Blogger seems to have made it tinier than it is. I have found the image size limit, I see.

I can't stay away from da voodoo. Voudan to be technical. It's such an interesting pantheon and jumbling of colors into something that is just so incredibly VIBRANT. The Ghede alone are awesome and coarse and raucous.

So I spent the past two nights doing some general research and picking and drawing a Loa for Victor. I picked Baron LaCroix, Baron of the Cross, one of the leaders of the Ghede.
Messed around with sketches and finding little details, like sunglasses with one lens popped out, sacred colors, that kinda thing.
Finally grabbed a sketch I liked..
..and digitally inked it (with heavy anatomy tweaking) into this.
A lot of fun and something I'm rather pleased with. I do have some rum. Maybe I should leave a little bit out as a mark of respect.
