Making my biggest yet John Bauer tribute here, even without using any of the usual texturing flourishes that I lifted from the old man a while ago.
Also, real heads will notice my new favorite screentone here ;)
I'm still not even sure if the cat is actually IN the game, but if memory serves, think this baby was the very first Cantata character portrait I finished!

The first character here was authorized to become a homage to Devas from First Knife, and I actually got to design their full body for the in-game sprite. You can catch a glimpse of them in the game's trailer!
Been trying to get this gift commission done for almost a year T__T, and now my boy Ramba is finally here! The composition references a specific page from Gundam The Origin manga, but I can't really call this a full-blown homage.
Also, this probably does double-duty a...

The human faction of Cantata echoes quite a few of stylistic choices that I made in my own take on Dune (the series of illustration was basically what got me hired for Cantata in the first place!)

Big day, big release (well, in small bean game development terms, that is XD). I wish I was in a better place mentally to properly enjoy the day, but even in my sorry state I can feel tiny corpuscles of joy flowing into my veins.
You could get the game on Steam right now, and I would really appreciate your purchases and opinions on the game and my work in it. As for...

I actually showed this cover here back in last December, but now it FINALLY makes sense to show it with all of its actual comics regalia, in full color and dressing (with color process above)!
So yeah - coming out September 6th from Mad Cave, Crusader #1 by Matt Emmons 2023-08-12 16:35:15 +0000 UTC View Post
HOOOH MAMA, that was a tough one to pull off, but I think I managed to get to the other side almost unscathed! Was really firing at all cylinders here, and still only managed to fit 2 or 3 less characters that the old man did--

Well, now when the new trailer for Cantata is released (and game itself will follow it be!) and the big triptych used in it is out there in the wild, I thought I might share the coloring process for the piece! You could see how much I was struggling with the palett...

Well, you should've known that this was gonna happen, too ^___^ Available in 3 different print versions!
And btw - the original is already sold! But if you feel like getting more Kamen Rider art, or maybe a Shin Ultraman commission - don't hesitate to reach out.

I watched the movie last Saturday, and my mind and body been buzzing with prana ever since. There's something truly elating to me in this film - the grit and grittiness, comedic brutality of violence and emotional honesty of its characters' heroism - that just gets to me at this moment of time.
I was crying Ichimonji's tears, and I knew I'm gonna watch the movie 10 times more. 2023-07-25 13:53:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Lord help me, I'm back on my Kirby bullshit! <3 It's gonna be a few more of these in the next few months, and my heart is literally racing thinking of them all.

We ended up not going to Montenegro, after all (C'est la vie! Also, we're still gonna go there for the Herzeg Novi festival in September *fingers crossed*); instead, I'm working on something pretty weird!

This commission been one of the few I've been really intimidated by while also really, REALLY looking forward to - and as I kept thinking of it, and then actually sketching it and finalizing it, week weeks passing between each of the stages, its complexity grew in my mind.
Thus, a full color poster version! Because I really enjoy working in color nowadays. Available as print 2023-07-21 08:44:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketch/final:
XINO #2 is finally out, so I think it's a good time to remind you about this comic by sharing all of its pages in colors.
And now, process freaks, when you feel the craving to actually READ the whole thing - go and snatch the issue in your nearest comicbook store! ^___^

Missing my friends back in Russia so much, but at least I know that they continue covering themselves with tattoos designed by me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm really sorry for being somewhat absent from this Patreon page this month - personally printing the two of my long-awaited (by myself XD) fanzines, and then promoting them definitely took its toll, and now the heat wave hitting Europe and our attempt to go on a week-long trip to Montenegro at the end of the week (at the peak of the fucking heat wave!) is definitely gonna...

While there's no comics progress to show yet, let's have a bit of TTRPG Bestiary fun, eh? This one's gonna be a 50 characters/creatures commitment.
(Yes, I'm addicted to finding ways to draw work in nice little sketchbooks, and you can do nothing about it!)
Continuing with my completely asinine plan of having a commission done for every seminal volume of Hellboy OR B.P.R.D. - and this one is a doozy <3
Some original art I have for sale right now. $200-400 a piece, DMs always open ;)
Can't even show half of these online, because they haven't been properly revealed yet!
And yeah, I'm not selling any of my recent comics originals yet, mostly because I'm just about to give up and go try to partner up with some original art vendor again. Without a representative, I feel like my commissions well is about to dry up (especially with twitter and...

A bit of a housekeeping and update on my current commissions list: I’m hoping to have everything from my current pile of commissions requets done in June-July, so we can start thinking about getting some new art pieces in! Including these already existing sketches (some already shown here before), each of which coould easily become yours 🙏🏻😌

Little addendum to this post - even more colored work from Jason (along with previously shown pages in 100% finalized colors).
This really feels like two Lego parts perfectly clicking together - never before me and Jason were so perfectly in sync as we are here <3
Page 4 especially blows my mind, again and again - all my attempts at pulling off a sort of "painte...
