A piece inspired by the sailor scout archetype famous in Anime, manga and also inspired from one of my fave 90s anime back in the day, Ogre Slayer. I’m sure it’s been done before but this is my own personal occult take on it. I enjoy the juxtaposition of darkness and implied innocence. I had no direction for this piece originally but I like where I ended up, this go around. As always sketched it traditionally imported it into Procreate and did the finishes and effects using an Apple Pencil.

Here is a recent commission I did for a client’s project. Think of a mash-up of #TreasureIsland meets #lovecraft horror meets #ArthurianLegends. It’s a lot but was fun to come up with a concept. We went through many iterations before landing on this during the inking stage. I thought it worked and like the story of the image. Please don’t ask me tomorrow if I’m happy with it. #neversatisfied This was a fast one and I was still recovering from #blerdcon and some family issues, so I took a shot and did this piece exclusively with #applepencil #ipad and #Procreate using @claytonhenry_artist’s brush. #wouldhighlyrecommend Overall it was an ok experience to work that way and faster but it reminded me that I will never give up working traditional. #AnotherToolInTheBox For you #processjunkies swipe to see the development work.

Working on some test pages for a comic anthology I’m hoping to have ready for #Blerdcon2024. I’m #still not sure of the look I want. I’m being reminded that the language of illustrations vs the mechanics of comic pages are vastly different and trying to find the balance is always the struggle but fun when a plan comes together. My Mac crashed so instead of using traditional and #ClipStudioPaint, I used traditional and #Procreate and #ApplePencil.

Something I’m working on for #Blerdcon2024. This started off as a rough ink sketch/drawing, I imported it into #Procreate and futz around until I was happy, not sure if it’s the final but this is my stopping point, for now. Might become a print or a part of this year’s artbook. Either way, I’m calling this one The Dark Knight. #NotAI #applepencil #penandink #digitalart #occult #MonsterHunter #forsaken #desertus
