Wheelchair Warrior

Wheelchair Warrior - Lineart

I wanted to draw some fantasy madness and take it over the top, inspired by the art from Torchlight which to me caries a great sense of volume and weight.
However, to twist it a little I decided to make a character which wasn't just a run of the mill hero. Might get around to colour it sometime.

6 hours in photoshop, using a photo reference and the hard round brush.

While painting digitally after a photo of a nude model isn't "the real" deal, or very original, I enjoyed working somewhat traditional. I didn't use any adjustment layers, effects, clipping masks or blending layers, just ye olde round brush. I didn't really time it, but my guess is that it took around 6 hours.
I quite like the outcome.

Oh and the ref was nicked from http://figuresfordrawing.tumblr.com/

Here's some process

Thugxedo

Ink lineart over a pencil sketch and with pencil shading; gangster style.

Signe offered me that I could decorate the first page of her new notebook with whatever I wanted, so I decided to draw one of my series of characters with apparently mismatched looks.
This one became the thugxedo. Ink lineart and mech pencil.

Oh and don't tell her what the left hand means...

Barrel Treehouse

Bringing your sketchbook to long briefings can prove fruitful.

This is kind of an oldie, from late summer 2012. But since my scanner was unavailible until december, this thing has been burning in my sketchbook to get added to the series of treehouses. Kind of extraordinarily for me, I did this without sketch, simply going straight into ink. It was quite the mental exercise, having to plan overlapping items and such in advance.

Farmer Man from Sketchbook

Going to western Jutland, I just couldn't help but think of farmers.

With a nice new set of drawers that we got for Christmas, I finally have a place to put my scanner! This dude I drew this weekend, in my sketchbook, going to western Jutland by train for a thing with my girlfriends family. I guess farmers was what sprung to mind when I thought of western Jutland.

Doodled for a short hour after work. I had fun playing with the clothing, but overall i find the drawing kinda bland. Also even though the snowy white background was thought in when I reached that my doodle should be a man with a map, its still really hard on the eyes.

Treehouse Hamlet

Had some hours to kill in the train and decided to add a +1 to my series of inked tree-houses (the rest which were made before this blog). So unlike the digital things I've posted so far, this was made with a trusty Micron pen and a sketchbook.

I spent a little time after hours Friday having a beer and drawing a zombie.
There' something timeless about drawing zombies, the muscle anatomy, the skeleton and the surface structure just makes for great fun, no matter how morbid they are.

A procrastination demon enters the canvas. "Yarr. Why focus so much on actual designs, when you can bring me to life instead?"

Ca. 2 hours in photoshop, using random photos for startup canvas noise.

Opening up my brand-spankingly new blog with the result of a few hours of doodling. Nothing like deciding to do one thing and ending up doing another.
