Ammonite concept for a project. Went a bit farther down the line than I was initially thinking. Was only going to ink and maybe gray tone it. Was fun painting though. Maybe add some ornaments (spikes) and barnacles next go round. #ammonite #paleoart #illustration #digitalart

Enfys Nest and swoop bike. I don’t do much fan art but I was taken by the armor design and the cloud riders. I was feeling a bit rusty as I haven’t had much opportunity to draw as of late. #starwars #enfysnest #enfysnestswoopbike #solo #soloastarwarsstory #fanart #illustration

Work in Progress - PBY Catalina

  In the next story, my main antagonist is wealthy and a bit of a private financier.  What he’s financing and why, is the big question that pushes the story – so no reveals on that here.  But!- He does have his own float plane.  I knew a while back that I wanted to derive the character’s transport from a WWII era PBY Catalina.  My grandfather was in the Coast Guard during the war and was part of…

Been a bit tight on time going into these last days. Happy Halloween! #inktober2016 #inktober #inktober2go #webcomic #deepdivefive #pizza
