Sketchbook

I work in traditional media (pencil, charcoal) and digital media (Photoshop), creating book covers and illustrations as well as pin ups.   

I love comic book art and pen & ink work on classic titles like Savage Sword of Conan. I always hated how they made women warriors look like weak serving wenches. That’s why I draw my own female fantasy warriors and make them muscular, like the male heroes I grew up reading about.   


  

The “Darklaw” Cover

Digital Painting, Adobe Photoshop CS4 

This high-res digital painting required a lot of air brushing, smearing, stamping, cloning, sponging, dodging, and burning. All done with mouse. No kidding. I’m still not proficient with my graphics tablet, but use it now for inks. 

When the book is released (from Drollerie Press), you’ll also have the map and portraits inside.  


    

Old Art

These are 11″x18″ charcoal and pen & ink on textured paper. These are from back when I was a teenager, long before I discovered the joy of Photoshop.

Darklaw: Hold Fast the String Memory Sequence Pencil   

PENCIL From Darklaw: Hold Fast the String

Original Pencil on Bristol Paper, 14inx11in, posterized in Photoshop. This is a one-panel memory sequence from Darklaw: Hold Fast the String. What our character Avestine did with that bottle will be the point of the memory. This will be inked and colored so the tone is completely unnecessary — I just enjoy creating these pinups every once-in-awhile too.
