Sketchbook page

2007-11-08T23:46:00.000-05:00

When people ask me what I like to draw when i'm not drawing for work I usually don't have an answer. I rarely draw for my own amusement anymore. Well, in an effort to change that here's a recent page from my sketchbook that has absolutely nothing to do with work. I have no idea what the sketch is about, it just kinda came to me.

ZOMBUNNY!

Don't lie, you know you wanna pet it...

NEW POST!

2007-10-22T12:27:00.000-05:00

Not a trick, not a mirage, actual new art! The're just some sketches done in blue prismacolor pencil on scrap paper.

I know, i'm a bad blogger.It's been far too long since i've posted any new art and you're not gonna get any this time. You do get a pic of Erica and Casey, they sat next to me at Dexcon last weekend. Don't they look soooo happy? Check out their websites: caseyhallen.com

Request

2007-05-16T15:33:00.000-05:00

Because Chris Schoenthal requested it, here's Peyton Latham from Warlord. I did this painting fairly quickly, maybe 3 or 4 hours total time put in. At that time i'd work on 3 paintings simultaneously. That way while one painting was drying i'd have others to work on.

All tied up

2007-04-07T12:41:00.000-05:00

More black & white art from True 20. I like the odd way these two contrast and compliment each other.

ROCK & RULE

2007-04-03T17:37:00.000-05:00

Rock & Rule came out around the same time Heavy Metal did in the mid 80's , unfortunately it never developed the same cult following. Which is why I was so excited to see it out on dvd. I Just got the Collectors edition and it's amazing. It's got 2 versions of the movie and a bunch of extras. You have no idea how hard it's been to find a half-way watchable copy of this thing . Usually when it airs it's the edited version that's chopped out alot of the fun bits. Some of you might think it's a bit dated but this is really one of my all time favorite pieces of animation. Oh, and the soundtrack is completely badass. Cheap Trick, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Debbie Harry and Earth Wind and Fire....
Hey, don't look at me like that, if I say the're badass then the're badass.
Anyway, I did these just for fun. I wanted to see if I could get the look down. Track down a copy for yourself and see how I did.

It's been awhile...

2007-03-27T21:32:00.000-05:00

Things have been busy. Eventually i'll be able to post some of the stuff i've been working on. This one is from True 20 from Green Ronin. I've got more black and white stuff to show but I think i'll ration them out over the next few days.

Is an explanation really necessary?

2007-01-28T03:41:00.000-05:00

Mr. Grabski, why did you draw that sexy girl?

Because she was there.

El Laberinto del Fauno

2007-01-22T03:02:00.000-05:00

I saw Pan's Labyrinth this weekend and it was amazing. Guillermo del Toro promised a fairy tale for adults and he did not dissapoint. It was dark and beautiful and horrible and sad.... but in a good way. If I have any complaint it's that i'd like to have seen more of the fantasy world. When I came home I did a few scribbles of the characters. I wouldn't be surprised if they start showing up in my sketchbook more often.

Older Stuff

2007-01-19T02:12:00.000-05:00

Too bad I can't post some of the recent stuff i've been working on but untill it's published i've gotta keep it under wraps. Here are some pencil drawings I did a while back. They were for an RPG whose name I can't remember.

Warlord poster

2007-01-03T23:01:00.000-05:00

I wish I had photoshop back when I painted this. It would have come out very different. Still, I think it kinda works, in a comicbook/team pose kinda way.

What would I have changed? Ah, but that would be telling....

Sketch and Finish

2006-12-30T15:27:00.000-05:00

This was for the Legends of the 5 Rings CCG.

Sometimes I like my sketches more than the finished painting. It's not that the painting is bad or not what I was trying to portray. It's just that some subtle little thing gets lost somewhere along the way. It's usually in the face. The curve of a lip, the glint in an eye. Well, you be the judge....

MUTANTS & MASTERMINDS

2006-12-26T19:21:00.000-05:00

These were done for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG from Green Ronin Publishing. It'd been awhile since i'd done any superhero/comicbook type drawings, which are my first love, so it was a welcome change of pace. They were also among the first things i'd colored in photoshop.

portrait study: Stacey

2006-12-18T19:44:00.000-05:00

I don't do studies nearly as much as I should. I like this one, mostly because Stacey is easy on the eyes. Drawing cute goth girls is always fun.

More WARLORD

2006-12-11T23:56:00.000-05:00

Here's some more Warlord art.

First post, WARLORD Art

2006-12-11T23:23:00.000-05:00

I've been thinking about putting up a website to use as a portfolio for a long time but i've just never gotten around to it. This is my first step to actually doing something about it. I'll be posting finished pieces as well as sketches and studies. This first piece is from the Warlord ccg. I'd tell you what he's called but I rarely pay attention to the characters' name since they more often than not change it before publishing.
