Phaselocked

With the Borderlands pre-sequel out now, thought I would celebrate both, the release of this game and the hours I spent on Borderlands 2. Most of that time was spent on my Siren, Elemental spec. Tons of corrosive, fire, electric damage. Tons of fun.

For this doodle, all I had was Maya on the left. My co-beard Tristan suggested I add the phaselocked enemy on the right...why didn't I think of that!? This doodles was done using all of the normal tools I use, pencil, pen, white out pen, and a small watercolor case with 16 colors. For her arcane tattoos I happen to have a regular blue pen on hand which worked perfectly.

Not sure when I will get to the Pre-sequel but I am looking forward to low gravity physics.  

Chodo Swaggins & Nicolas Cage

Chodo Swaggins a 2nd level Halfling Cavalier and most recent inductee to the Pathfinder Society. He and his trusty companion Nicolas Cage are wild at heart and ready for what ever challenges they may face.

Their most recent expedition to the Temple of Empyrean Enlightenment led to a most horrifying discovery.

Highlights from their adventure

*Spoilers /begin*      

• A heretic priest named Dakang was actually a demon Vermlek and was corrupting everyone in the temple.
• Companion fighter named Dog; (not my dog Nicolas) Almost succeeded in killing himself after being possessed by a haunt. 
• Companion Barbarian named Thick; Took some hallucinogens and attempted a trial that involved inserting his arm into the mouth of a turtle statue. The statue contained hot blades that chopped off his little finger. 

*Spoilers /end*

All in all a disturbing mission, no one died...lots of fun was had.

 

Omnivore Shark

When my nephew Jolon created his mushroom monster, his older brother Dakota also sculpted something. The thing he created was much less...brutal in nature. He described it as a shark that only eats plants...some times small creatures. He eats sucking up organisms with his tiny mouth. I took some liberties with the size of the creature but the idea is still the same. Like I mentioned before, I wish I had taken pictures of the sculptures for reference, next time. 

Labor Day Union Picnic At The Louisville Zoo 2014 EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

An illustration from a day at the zoo during the Labor Day Union Picnic.
This is a fun exercise of not removing the tip of the pen from the paper, focusing more on form and less on detail. Copic markers used for the grey tones.

Lub-lub? Kids think of the darndest things.

An illustration based off of a kneaded eraser sculpture (see: ninja turtle sculpture) my nephew Jolon made. He described the creature as carnivorous with two mouths and can fly to chase it's prey...the terrifying mind of a child. His brother Dakota sculpted something much nicer, I will have it finished soon. Next time I will take a picture of said sculptures for reference.

Threadbending

An ancient and forgotten form of bending known as Threadbending. Derived from a form of Earthbending, Threadbenders are experts at all things textile and fibers.

Half-Minute Hero: Gotta Go Fast (to save the world)

Haven't posted anything in a bit but I assure you I have been hard at it, working on various projects. This one has been sitting in my tiny sketch book for some time and finally got around to finishing it. This is from a psp game called Half-Minute Hero (I played the port for steam) a fun and silly game that is an homage to all the classic tropes from 8 and 16 bit era RPG video games. In it you race against the clock to save the world, the kick is the clock is set to 30 seconds. You must speed around the map at break neck speeds trying to gather gear and killing monsters in order to defeat the boss of each map before time runs out. My version of the hero has him looking not so great as the effects of moving so quickly has adverse side effects on the body. If you have ever seen a human centrifuge machine you know what I mean.
