Tattoo design - from text to doodle to digital

A friend of mine on twitter had mentioned wanting a tattoo, and had something in mind but couldn't quite get what was in her head into the world, so I offered to design a little something-something for her.

So I quick whipped off a design on some paper with my very limited palette of Copic markers. This was done on a sticky-note style pad of paper. Same general size and all that, it just wasn't sticky, so a non-sticky sticky-note, right?


Not exactly what my friend was looking for, but she liked it - said it was a spin on the design she hadn't considered before. I'll take that as a compliment. Below is the digital version.


If you're unfamiliar with the character, it's a representation of Richard the Undead Warlock from the webcomic Looking For Group [LFG for short] by Ryan Sohmer & Lar deSouza of   Blind Ferret Entertainment.

Pneumonia Pno More!

So this cough I'd been fighting since Christmas turns out to have actually been pneumonia.
Got some meds and am now kicking Pneumonia right in the silent-P.
One side effect is they make me dizzy.  Another is supposed to be hallucinations. So I'm really hoping all that talk about a new tv series about an animated Brids of Prey where I get to voice a couple of villains if true.
Which it isn't, because I just made that up.

Something else I've just made up is this piece here.
The always awesome Lar deSouza had tweeted something about wanting to see other artist's old works, to see how far they've come in their abilities and craft. I don't have any paper&pen sketches anymore of these guys, but figure it couldn't hurt to re-create them digitially.
Well, I've been drawing these two since I was 8 years old.  Sadly, I cannot recall the name of the "hero", but the "villain" has always been Hornible.
And if we're honest.. what can be more villainous than putting ice in someone's drink while they're off to the loo? Well, lots of things, really. But it's never the big things.. but a piled-on heaping helping of small things breaks people..especially heroes, right?



Done in Manga Studio 5 with Ray Frenden's brushes. You can pick up all of Ray's brush packs for something like $20 - completely worth it.
