Olga cosplay fake comic study(?)

I really enjoy this MGS2 Olga cosplay photos from this person here (My Japanese is very poor rn, so I cannot read much)

but I really enjoy this likeness of the character, so I wanted to do a little study piece where I fuse some of these photos together and make something a little unique and get myself to draw a background for once (I'm going to have to do a lot of that for VANCE SUBPRIME, so I need to brush ...

commission wip

wip of a character sheet commission for my friend Elias aka RoofPsycho, of his cool OC, Lu :)

drawing guns is pain pls send help

Meryl Timelapse

Meryl Silverburgh sketch

Sort of from memory and a small fusion of the 08' model. Ive only ever played about 300 hours of MGSV and a bit of a MGS2 emulator, but I want to change that. Ideally, I get the HD collection and play it on my PS3. Yoji Shinkawa character design is just delicious..

Tried a different approach with a very loose sketch with some new brushes by Richard Anderson aka FlapTraps, and I really like it! I usually tie down my sketches really early because I can't help but finesse with the sketch, ...

crop top

Doodle from last night, that sketch just says "its 3am and im beat but i need to force my hand." Got back into looking at Robert Valley's work, especially since I've been doing a lot of comic stuff and a bit of animation recently. Been reading his Massive Swerve sketchbooks almost everyday in hopes I absorb his immense skill. God, his work is tasty... You can def see the influence here with those gradients haha. Trying to steal yet be true to myself. It's giving me some ideas going forward wi...

VS teaser 2

Recycled the somber Alyx for some extra VS promo material.

DREAD

Samus piece I did for a collab on Twitter. Fun piece where I tried to be like older Ashley Wood and Phil Hale paintings. While I was doing this, I wasn't liking the way the line art was coming out, but I wasn't even done with the damn thing yet.. Turns out, I'm pretty happy with the results here. Just keep going, take your time.

Samus WIP

Metroid Dread samus sketch for a collab on twitter! Gotta have this done by the 6th for the release. I've been dying to draw Samus in her new suit lately and this is a very good excuse. Also trying to work on stronger compositions even for just single figure pieces. Not sure what i want to do with that left arm yet.. I was instructed to at least have her facing right.

One day I gotta do my interpretation of her Zero Suit if Dread doesn't have that already. Either way, i'm gonna draw tha...

Introducing...

Doctor Sorina Vulpe is a particle physicist who wishes to defect from the Combine.

Original sketch and title variant follows!

Stay tuned!

VANCE SUBPRIME wip

While making model sheets of our chars for height comparisons mostly, I thought about making some cards for each of the characters for fun as possibly as promo material, inked and toned of course. I got another one cookin' but I can't show you yet!! Still thinking about what kind of information I want to put on them. But I might show these sketches as some bonus content at the end of the pdf along with other vis dev and concepts. Ok, Fran, get back to thumbnails!!! 10 down, 20 to go.

Ink Commission

Recent b&w commission for NealSFM. He requested some concepts for Gordon and Eli for the events taken early on in Epistle 3. Comfy cozy Eli and a sad cold Gordon, HEV not suitable for cold climates :( . Eli was kind enough to give him his beanie. There we're talks of doing Mk VI HEV concept w/ climate control, but we'll see!

I still have an ink comm slot left for anyone interested. 

Lots on the burner

Cooking up a lot of different stuff for commissions, VS thumbnails/cover art and what not, and hope to show a recent ink commission soon! I still have one ink commission slot left for anyone interested.

Also want to give a warm thank you all for being here! Your interest and support of my work and my HL fixation means the world to me :) <3

First VORTAL BOND update (?)

So, VORTAL BOND, I have not formally announced this comic project publically at least. So, let me introduce it.

VORTAL BOND [working title] is going to be an HL Freemance doujin/comic one-shot, p0rn with plot, essentially.  It takes place right at the end of Ep1 and into Ep2 in White Forest. It's more focused on the non-combat and more intimate moments of our heroes, not to say there won't be action! I'm very proud to say it's a collab between me and my friend Eli...

Chellyx

The main goal here was to have their titties touch, ngl. This sketch came out much more loose and organic and then my original drawing, and I'm pretty happy with that approach as well as the result. Very different from the original sketch. Mission accomplished.

 Four different versions bc I can't make up my mind!

DECAY

old thing of the favorite resident scientist lesbian aunts

little peak of what i'm working on

Wraith Ink Commission

A couple of Wraith skin variants. Skin of choice was up to me, so I picked Quarantine 722 and the commissioner requested an Airship Assassin as a variant, the second image. 

This time I allowed myself to redraw over my initial sketch a few times. I have these hard standards for myself, as if out of principle, when drawing, the first line is almost the final line and doing redraws of something means I'm not skilled.. its very silly i know.. I was watching a twitch drawing stream for...

Moments from the White Forest Lab couch

It's to spite Magnusson, really. 

I wasn't expecting a big response from this on Twitter. I was very shy and anxious about posting this on my main, but it wasn't quite hot enough for my alt. I think I was worried a bunch of anti-Freemance people would come kick down my door despite already making a decent amount of work with these guys. The original sketch in classy Col-Erase blue pencil follows, as well as a rough sketch of Alyx's face I kind of like. I'm a big fan of sketchi...

ALYX BOND: RUNWAY 007 Workshop Cover Art

Sometimes I feel absolutely weird about posting almost nothing but Alyx all the time but i guess that's why you guys are here, right?
The very first thing I did for Eagle One's RUNWAY campaign. EO has previously uploaded recreations of some the GoldenEye64 maps with HLA assets, and, to put it nicely, I really thought their thumbnails could be improved. I offered to redo those thumbnails but this is how I found out about the upcoming RUNWAY demo, a much more ambitious and longer campaign. I...

Draft Complete

All 30 pages of it! It started out as 20 but we couldn't bear to cut down otherwise we'd have to omit lot of cool stuff. Welp, next step is panels/thumbnailing and write notes all over this thing. 

the cake is (not) a lie

Part of an art trade I did with Rachel Redacted on twitter. She request Rattmann enjoying some cake and she drew me a lovely Alyx with her pet snark!

Dragon Con draw

Coming to you from my hotel! drew a somber Alyx for something VS related during the car ride to Dragon Con.

New HL merch!

New mini-stickers of the gang and the Boreal Alyph Alyx concept art print are up in my store.

alyx bond spice

I had the opportunity to design an alternate reality version of Alyx as James Bond for an ambitious HLA mod campaign, Alyx Bond: Runway 007, inspired by GoldenEye and the Bond films. (you can play the demo, Complex, in the HLA workshop now!)

Yes, I drew lewds of an Alyx design I made for a James Bond inspired HLA mod. she's alright, this life

ALYX BOND: RUNWAY 007 | ALYX BOND concept

I had the opportunity to design an alternate reality version of Alyx as James Bond for an ambitious HLA mod campaign, Alyx Bond: Runway 007, by Eagle One. It's inspired by GoldenEye and the Bond films. When I heard about Runway,  I fell in love with the idea of Alyx as Bond, naturally. So when I joined the Eagle One team, I really wanted to create my idea of what Alyx would look like in this alternate reality. It started out as a fun thing I wanted to do for my own enjoyment sin...
