Oldies But Goodies!

Here's an image I started a while back... finally got around to finishing it. I was trying to go for a 1950's era singer and I knew from the get-go that I wanted a sepia color scheme.

I couldn't decide which one I liked more, so here's both.

They vant to suck your blood!

I recently saw an X-files episode about vampires and rented Priest, so I felt the need to draw some vampires.

I'll post a colored version soon, as well as some other  drawings.

Batter up!

Over the last couple of weeks, during my free time, I been working on this piece and a couple of others. It started as a doodle but quickly turned into a pain in the butt. I struggled a lot with the pose and trying to make it feel right. At one point I thought I had it, but then I re-watched David Colman's character design DVD and then I started to ask myself so many questions about the design, feeling, what reaction I was getting from it and if it was what I wanted. It eventually became so complex and frustrating that I decided to try to get back to my initial drawing and stop thinking about it so much and just draw.

I'm still bothered by a few design aspects but I'm glad I got through it and managed to learn from my mistakes, hopefully. 

My favorite part of completing a piece is getting to color it. With this piece I tried something different with the rendering and I think it paid of.

P.s. Save Versions! (had a little mishap and lost a chunk of work)
