Pole-tergeist!

Pole-tergeist!

Gives a whole new meaning to jack-o-lantern!  

I wanted to have this one done on Halloween but I ended up spending a little more time on it.  It was fun taking a break to do a month of themed one.  But now that the month is over, I'm gonna get back to some more fanart pinups...

Count Drac-Ooh La La

I hear the guy really sucks.  ah ah ah.

Wanted to do something a little Vargas-esque.  I mean, if I had gams like that, I would also let them glisten in the moonlight.  

I wanna do at least one more monster boy before the months over, cause these are fun AF.

Whatcha howling at?  I bring it to you every lunar cycle.

Having fun with these Halloween themed pinups.  I like the limited palette and I wanna try some more like this.  Gotta get some cover roughs done today but now I'm thinking about what monster hunk to do next.

Roy Harper - Final

Finished up Roy this morning!  I'm very happy with the colors on this one.  Red and pink are one of my favorite combos. Also, someone needs to make these booty shorts.  Got a desktop and a couple phone wall-papers attached below.

Still need to put together my process notes a...

Clive - Final!

Hey Patrons!  I just wrapped up my steamy Clive and Cid pseudo-book cover.  Actually really pleased with how this turned out.  If I could have my way, I would just do sexy pulp covers for the rest of my career.  I've got wallpapers attached below and as always, I'll have the e...

Did a more refined doodle of the Badonkey kick Ryu.  Honestly, Dan and Ken are my favorite part.

Pinup Boys

Pinup Boys

Been taking a little break to draw some cute original pinup boys.  It's always speedo season for these babes.  


I'm gonna do that other Ryu one, the Badonkey Kick, cause it's cute and I want to. Don't know if I'll paint it out fully, but I'll at least do a drawing.  Stil...

Inprnt Store update and Nightcrawler edit

Howdy folks!  

Just added the Nightcrawler, Rictor and Sunspot prints to the INPRNT store!  There's also a sale going on with some real low cheap worldwide shipping.

I made some minor adjustments to Nightcrawler as well, so I'm reuploading wallpapers for him.  I'm wor...

Ryu Process Video and Process Notes

Ryu Process Video and Process Notes

Took a stab at putting a video up.  I have very rudimentary editing software, aka, the default one on windows.  Ha!  Want to explore that more.  Figure out how to make it a little more professional looking.  2023-07-12 01:41:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Finally got these boys wrapped up!  Took me a bit to figure out how to resolve the background and composition. Drawing scenes with multiple characters is hard.  Haha.  Lots of little things to balance.  It was a good exercise for me to do a piece with a bit more complexity tha...

Ryu/Ken Wip

Ryu/Ken Wip

Sploosh-ouken! Some WIP on Ken boy. I’ve been doing this initial phase with a brush called Gloaming. I really like it cause it’s a little textural but still easy to draw with. I like when I can use the same brush for lines and colors.

Had a couple covers to wrap up but I couldn’t wait to get going on Ryu. The love for the Ken splashing scene and the Badonkey kick were about matched. I’m starting with the Ken one, but I think I’ll still draw the Badonkey one cause it’s too fun not to. I’ll at least do a nicer drawi...

The original fighting game beefcake, Ryu won the poll. It was neck and neck with Simon Belmont but Ryu won by a hair. Here’s some of the ideas I was thinking of. “Badonkey kick, but my pants KO’d”. “Hurrican kick, but my pants KO’d again!” “Bandaid Ryu”. “Ken’s water Ha...

I just have cowboys on the brain, so meet Buckaroo Hank.  Loves finger guns, leather accessories.  Hates pants.

Video Games it is!

Video games won the poll!  Let's draw some classic game hunks.

A couple people recommended Simon Belmont which is a great suggestion, so I added him in.

Finally saw Spiderman last week and it lived up to the hype and so did Miguel's assets. :-P

Been drawing a lot lately but hating everything and scraping it.  Bleh.  It's not uncommon to hit little phases of feeling like I'm not drawing well, so it'll pass.  I know most artis...

Poll Time!

Been a minute since I did a poll since I did two characters from the last one.  Like I said in the Rictor post, I think I wanna do some original stuff first, but of course I still want to do my fan art thing.

Let's try something different this time and pic a theme first.

Rictor - Time Lapse

Rictor - Time Lapse

Graphic design is my passion.  Hehehehe.   Got the Time-lapse video attached down below.  I realized half-way through painting that his lower torso/legs were way too small.  It's funny how you'll spend hours staring at a piece and not even notice.

Rictor Final!

He is finished!  Honestly, I think they need to make Rictor being a skater boy canon.  Pretty happy with the way this one turned out.  I'm glad you all like his fuzz.  I think this is one of my best in terms of body hair.  I love body hair, but I don't like painting it an...

More Rictor progress!  He's more or less finished so I just have the background and the rock effects to wrap up to render.  I wanted to use colors from his X-Force look to pepper throughout.  Something I'm really please with, which is hardly noticeable, is the slight transparency o...

Pixie Design Exploration

Been busy with deadlines this week but I wanted to take some time to explore more pixie designs. Whenever I doodle around, I always want to explore poofy, messy up-do’s. I thought this one looked blossom/petal like. I also like the idea of giving them all unique, body hair designs. You usua...

Rictor - WIP 02

Making some progress on Rictor.  I had a pretty solid color rough to start with so instead of doing any new sketches, I just went straight into painting on top it.  It's hard to keep the energy and attitude of a nice a sketch when you redraw it(at least for me) so I like when I feel con...

Meet Chip Tease! So awhile back I started turning that pink merman guy I drew into a pinup original pin-up character. Did a really rough turnaround for him some time ago but I wanted to clean-it up. When I did that merman piece, I got so many comments about him looking like a male counterpart ...
