A few work in progress shots of a character sheet I'm working up for Phil to work on. Once I'm done with these base views I need to draw the top view of the arms, and some flyouts for the bits of detail on him. After that, hopefully Phil can start modelling while I finish illustrating the hat, cloak and scarf to go on over the top.

After that, I can work on the remaining three character sheets for this character, and the three or more other ones I have planned for this particular IP. In between, I can work on the astronauts magnet ball for Son of Colin!

SPACE MARINE!

Three WIP pictures of a Space Marine piece I decided to start on after completing Space Marine. Started out with a Crimson Fists marine then decided to start shifting it to a Space Wolf at the last minute.

Quick thing I knocked up over about one hour, two beers, and a conversation with James. Mostly to play around with a brush I'd made after I got home from work, since I hadn't really done anything with new brushes for a while. It's always fun to see what chaos you can make with a new toy.

Knocked the top two out over about seven or eight hours total, after being asked to do them for a Skavenblight Gazette issue that was technically due out something like weeks ago. Had fun with them, although I'd like to have spent a few more hours on both of them to make them feel more like something I'd be truly proud of. As always, I had trouble nailing rat heads. They're easy to draw when they're on a rats body, somehow it looks wrong when I do it on a mans body.

The second picture is four images to accompany a short story in the same issue of the SBG, I rushed them out pretty fast a few weeks ago because I thought they were all the issue was waiting on before being published. Not so! I like the figure in the lower right one, and something about the brushwork on the barely visible rat god face in the top right appeals to me. Not really at all proud of the two on the left  though, particularly the first. It doesn't match up at all with what I had in my head.
