I made this drawing for the Character of the Week (CHOW) #144 challenge.

The topic was to create a post apocalyptic image featuring siamese twins, deformed and … well you can read the brief at the above link! I never felt like I properly finished the image but I’ve been working some graveyard shifts and didn’t have the time to push it more before the deadline. I really wanted to add a big smoldering gun into this piece because now it looks more medieval than post-apocalyptic. Anyways, I had fun making it!

Below you can also see the WIP sequence:

Here is another dragon sketch which I completed over the weekend.

The above image started out as a pencil sketch which was modified with Photoshop.

These are some quick pencil sketches I made over last week, today while watching some football I had time to paint over these.

I don’t have a good estimate of how long I spent working on these because it was on and off during the day, my guess is about 2 hours total.

This is a quick digital sketch of a zombie concept.

All done in Photoshop, about 30 minutes of work.

A long time in the coming… I started out 2008 (yes, more than a year ago) planning to do a series of dragons. I ended up falling on my face and doing very little work worth showing. Now 2009 is here and I’m starting with a big push, and really the first time I’ve ever pushed a dragon towards a more complete stage in my works.

The above image depicts a great dragon and a woman in a red dress. I can’t reveal anything about the story behind this image yet. CLICK HERE for a higher resolution image.

I used a photo of a young Kate Beckinsale as a reference for the woman in the picture. Mostly for the face and body position, the arm reaching towards the dragon is the part I made up and thus does not look too convincing.

You can see the step by step progression of how the image was made. As you can see towards the end of the WIP the girls arm is too big, I caught this and corrected it in the images above. There were also some minor color corrections which are not shown in the WIP. Related to this I find it somewhat distracting to show the detailed images in the WIP animation… what do others think about this?
