Digital Illustration
Here are a few of the projects I've worked on recently.
The completed digital cover illustration
The original interior illustration which appeared in Doc Savage Magazine in the 1930's
Pulp Fan Doc Savage Cover Illustration
At the request of Main Enterprises, I digitally recreated an small interior illustration of the famous pulp fiction character Doc Savage and his five assistants for the Cover of Pulp Fan #6. The publisher was so pleased with the final product that it was also used for promotional prints.
Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman Illustration
Another commission from Main Enterprises is this illustration of Lon Chaney Jr. as he appeared in the classic Universal monster film The Wolfman. This is actually more of a mixed media piece in that the figure in the foreground was done using Speedball Super Black Ink and a Japanese brush on watercolor paper. The background and shading elements were added in Adobe Photoshop. This appeared in the magazine *PPFSZT! #50.
Doctor Nocturnal #1 Cover Art
This illustration was created as a demonstration for a digital painting and illustration class that I teach. Doctor Nocturnal is an original creation of my own that I decided would make a decent comic book. Set during the 1970's, the good doctor is a supernatural detective investigating various horrors of the "Satanic Panic" instigated by such bands as Blue Oyster Cult and KISS. This was digitally painted using Adobe Photoshop.
Demon Attack on St. Louis
Aazurn Publishing commissioned this piece as part of their Apocalypse Portfolio. I was given the complete freedom to select any city and mode of supernatural disaster. I chose to put the city of St. Louis to the torch and show the fleeing residents being attacked by flying bat-like demons. This piece was drawn in pencil then then digitally inked using Clip Studio Paint.
Characters from Greek Mythology
Main Enterprises commissioned this piece as part of their Greek Mythology Collection. I was given the choice of several mythic characters to choose from. I chose Achilles because I wanted to show him as kind of a brutal thug, rather than the romantic figure he's been portrayed as in film. Bellerophon allowed me to illustrated the winged horse Pegasus, as he is the lesser know half of that duo. These pieces were drawn in pencil then then digitally inked using Adobe Photoshop.
