From the pages of GRIZ GROBUS - check out MIRAMAR by Simon Roy and Stefan Tosheff on Kickstarter, right now! Because Captain Sarita SAYS SO!
Few ruminations on this drawing its...

And there's our gloomy kid again, too!
Yep, it's THAT guy again! :D
I think I'm just 2 more entries away from the end of the series (thus, very close to actually completing the zine). And tbh, I'm not sure whether I should get myself busy with another tiny project over the rest of this month and possibly continuing into November, or just focus on my regular work and schedule. #Gundamtober as a social media thing brought next to zero new subscribes to this Patreon, and as much as I hate being mercantile, I a...

Piece of art made for a friends' project pitch! ^___^
This one was done digitally, as I tend to do with big and complicated tapestries in color, so the process for it was pretty peculiar.
Zeon grunts in Gundam are always just so lovely, with the most punchable kissers! I wish I was able to fit some of the ugly bastards from Black Tri-Stars - or maybe even Dozle himself - into the zine T__T
But I had a already finished Z'Gok that needed a pilot, so we get this guy:

Gone so soon T___T
There he is, the pampered brat, man with a thousand faces, hero of the revolution!
(I keep forgetting to take a picture of "raw" pencils, or even multiple pencil photos, because this one had actually two different iterations oh Char's face, and first one absolutely sucked)
My second favorite Gundam guy, my boy Daryl!
Harry is probably my favorite character design in the entirety of Gundams, Akira Yasuda is simply undefeatable.
Don't we all love him, folks?
This one makes me happy about my recent dive into halftone shading, because look at how less expressive the initial version of the portrait (without face shading) was!
This series will mostly consist of my older Mobile Suit drawings followed up by newly made MS pilot portraits, but It's a nice chance to retouch a couple of old character portraits, too! This one was done a couple of years ago as a gift to my fried -
I'm finally using Inktober as an excuse to finish my Gundam zine, whoooo!
This month's series will mostly consist of new Mobile Suit pilot portraits + retouches of the previously drawn Mobile Suits itself.
EXTREMELY happy of what I did here, phew!
Original:
Decided to go with traditional pencils on this one, so I only used sketch printout for my basic composition layout and cover design based on the original:
It feels like it's been ages since I drew my last commission, and it's so good to be back!

It's been pretty quiet on $5 tier here recently, so here's a nice little surprise for everyone on and above it - Dropbox folder with every drawing done for the project, 50 creatures total (freaks, ghouls and bughuuls!) , fresh out of the oven. And of...

Aaaaand, it's done! 50 characters, almost 2 sketchbooks cover to cover. Two days of intense scanning, cleaning, editing and toning ahead! ^___^
(Returning to usual commissions broadcasting ASAP, too!)

Closing in on the end of the project (42 out of 50 characters done, I even had to switch to another sketchbook!)
Also, the skeleton could be my favorite thing I've drawn ll year. I just feel him
I don't feel really strongly about this thing one way another (because, as I often have to reiterate - I don't care about piracy, plagiarism, "art theft" and other completely normal digital background things that modern artists are supposed to care), other than maybe a slightly icky feeling that someone betrayed a bit of my trust here? Like, a sort of socia...

This is not a joke, alas. Twitter is dying, being completely useless for work at this point of time, and "twitter surrogates" like Bluesky or Threads are still at their toddler phase, so I've been struggling with getting new commission work for a while. Commission tiers here been anemic for quite a while, too, but I can't blame anyone for it - most of you already had multiple commissions made for you anyway, my attempts at reaching wider audiences are more or less futile, an...

A bunch of new sketches (while I'm experiencing post-Montenegro mental clarity and creative high) - mostly exploring the smaller inhabitants of our world (as we did for Vol I 4 years ago).
Animals, plants, foods, drinks. An approach like this (taking such a huge time frame to develop a book's feel, its je-ne-sais-quoi rather than just churning out pag...

I'm stressed out as hell while trying to tidy up my work and my life, so here's a little General Maintenance update to sort out some of my responsibilities!
1. Zines/Comics Festivals: if you ordered any of my new zines earlier this Summer, right now they are either already shipped to you (and you should expect e-mail with your tracking # today/tomorrow), or will be shipped to you in 2-3 weeks from now. I'm also thinking about reprinting the two...

This series of drawings is actually a triptych featuring antagonist characters from a very long-running D&D campaign of my client and his friends, and it's so good to see them all together!
