SHE-HULKIE

This is the fourth piece in my series of twisted super heroine costumes. As I've said before the idea is a prostitute trying her luck at a comic-con event. This lady is making sure that a fanboy knows that she is green all over.

CALVIN'S CANADIAN CAVE OF COOL!

This is the header art that I did for the blog CALVIN'S CANADIAN CAVE OF COOL. I am a long time follower of Cal Heighton's entertaining blog and in that time I have gotten to know Cal fairly well. So when he asked me to do artwork for the blog I was quite excited about it.

Cal's interest range widely and creating a single image that encompassed it all proved a challenge. I wanted it to be loaded with awesome stuff, just like the blog, but at times it threatened to become so overloaded as to be incomprehensible.

I chose to depict Cal as a mythic figure with a vaguely "steampunk" flavour. Like King Arthur on his way to Avalon, Cal needed to be surrounded by female figures. I chose two of his favourites: Selena Gomez and Kat Dennings. There is a third in the background. The tiny figure of Christina Hendricks waits patiently for Cal to return to the Cave of Cool.

Like any action hero he had to have a commanding presence in the exact center of the image. I did base the facial features on a picture of Cal but obscured them with the goggles and the aviator's hat. The epic whiskers are all his, though. The leather coat he wears is based on my daughter's bomber jacket. She calls it her "Adventurer's Coat" and I am only slightly jealous of it despite the fact that the thing doesn't fit me at all.

I had so much fun making this image from scouring through literally thousands of references to blocking out the perfect composition to painting all of the tiny details. I was very pleased with the way it turned out and I was very happy that Cal liked it so much. It has been vary well received over at his blog. Check it out.

ENCOUNTERS #4

The PDF edition of this magazine has just been released. I know the thumbnail is small but guess who did the artwork for the cover? You guessed it! I also did all the interior illustrations. The stories are really good especially "I Regret That I Must Eat You" by Tom Barlowe.


Pick up a copy if you can. It's well worth it. You can find out more about it here.

BATGIRL HO!

The second in a series. My wife says these ladies look like prostitutes trying their luck at a comic-con event, which struck me as really funny. I will probably do more as I get time between assignments. They're fun. This one was done in Corel Painter X and took about four hours.

Here's the previous one.

MY WIFE RE-DISCOVERS THE '80'S

I came home for lunch yesterday and found my wife wearing this outfit. It started out as just something comfortable to wear around the house but I told her it looked like some of the clothes she used to wear back in the '80's. I told her to try on some of the boots that she had and we both thought these just made the outfit.

I wish I could say that she wasn't wearing the outfit for long, but you know we're a respectable middle-aged couple and don't engage in that sort of spontaneous activity the way young people do. ;) ;).

Nevertheless I was inspired to paint it. Had to to it from memory as the outfit is now in the wash.

SPEAR GIRL

I have just finished one commission (two in a row, actually) and am about to move on to another. In between I decided to cleanse my palate (but not my palette) with a quick painting. You'll probably recognize the figure as my Minimalist Fantasy Pin-up drawing I posted a while back. Here it is in full colour with a background.


Done with Corel Painter X. About two hours' work.
