More Workshop Sketches

A few more from the last month or so, Aging Starlet, Femme Fatale and Steampunk Professor. Most are 20 minute sketches.

2 For Fun

Here are a couple of new pieces just for fun, a character portrait study of a granny with grit and giant robot taking an oil break. The Apocalypse sure makes ya thisty!

Circe

Larva (yes, Larva) was our model last night in a nymphy sort of costume. It didn't matter, she was great, I added a little photoshop cleanup to hide my mistakes and ended up with a couple decent drawings.

Maid Redux

Sara returns as the French maid, always a treat to draw. These were charcoal with a bit of color, but I couldn't resist adding tone and a wash or two on the computer. (plus I fixed a couple of drawing boo boos after scanning) Oui oui, mon ami!!

Lucky Jack's

Feeling a little down-at-the-heels? Lost the family nest egg on Red 23? Are Crazy Eddie and the boys looking to break your kneecaps?? Well, just stagger on in to Lucky Jack's Jackpot Lounge and take that happy dive into oblivion with Jack's All-In Go-For-Broke Crapped-Out Cocktail! Cheers!

Guilt update

Finally something new, a color piece for the fun of it and a couple sketches from drawing workshop.

Still Alive!

It's been really busy at work so not a lot of time for extra art.

Here are a few workshop drawings to fill the void though. I added some tone afterward just because.

Emma Peel Returns!

"Mrs. Peel, you're needed!"(or "We're needed") was how my favorite episodes of The Avengers TV show began. I wanted to do a new tribute piece with a better likeness than the one from a couple years ago. The pose is right from a production still, but how can you improve on Diana Rigg in a leather jumpsuit! A poster-y piece for fun.

The Z That Stands For Zorro

Or a guy dressed as Zorro, but looked a little more like Michael Jackson. I had to bulk him up a bit and give him a mustache, and voila, Zorro! Sort of. Oh, and his sword was a piece of pipe.

Tanks for your support!

Groan. Anyway, new art for my never-ending post-apocalyptic epic. Who doesn't enjoy a great little tank? Close support for our end-of-the-world army. Maybe this will eventually go somewhere.

So I Lied...

I didn't mess with the original, but Photoshop to the rescue! I couldn't let a great pose and costume go to waste.

Steamy

Stacy posed last night as a steampunk heroine with appropriately complex gear. It was hard to simplify, I just wanted to draw all the details. An hour on each pose would have done it, we were doing about 30 minutes each. It's tempting to work back into them later, but the chance of messing it up is high, so leave well enough alone.

On Patrol

Our hoverbike hero, on patrol for baddies in the ruins of the city.

The Mysterious Swordsman

He was only mysterious in that I wasn't quite sure where he was supposed to be from, he had some funky hand and arm armor and no shoes, so who knows. But it worked, so who cares! I'm always just happy to get a few decent drawings out of a session. By about 7:30 PM, I'm starting to burn out and am thinking about going home but can't waste good model time.

Maid Service

Sarah was excellent last night as the French maid.Great character! I borrowed some gray paper from a buddy just to change things up, it worked pretty well on the last pose. Maybe some painting soon.

Va Va Voom!

Ladies and gents, put your hands together for that Siren of the Stage, the Queen of Burly-Q, Miss Va Va Voom!! Complete with cheesy back up band, she'll win your hearts with her sultry and salty song stylings of yesteryear. Please tip your waitress.

Jungle Rebel GWG (Girls With Guns)

Tiffany was back, this time as an Angelina Jolie type jungle action hero in camo with machine gun sorta thing. It was great, just add explosions to taste. Just had time at the end for a 10 minute portrait.

More workshop sketches

Here are a few assorted drawings from recent workshops.

Road Trip!

Where's the best place to head when the nukes fly? Why, the wide open spaces of the Mojave desert, of course. Load up on fuel and ammo, grab your best friend and hit that Road to Nowhere.
