I made this portrait of Bodybuilder and model Eric Janicki back in January 2017, it was the most difficult and most time consuming one yet... I developed a lot of techniques that I currently use on portraits, and I think it still looks great!
I'll be posting all the files next Tuesday, I need to find them all and my hard drive is a mess lol π

I use these brushes to ornate the backgrounds and create fancy effects on fabrics or clothes, I just use some in the Captain Rogers' BG I've collected them over the years and now I'm passing them to you, use them wisely π

The idea was to make his dick soft but heavy looking, kinda like when you first whip it out of the jockstrap and it stills semi-hard, a full erection was a bit to aggressive and with that look in his eyes it has to be more of a tender moment... Or maybe I'm reading too much into it πππ

I wanted to make this piece sexy and heroic, so I combined the Baroque ornaments with the shields and eagle motives, all in a classic Art-Nouveu structure... This pose reminds me of a Michael Angelo sculpture, kind of erotic but classy lol π

For this I used some classic elements from my favorite style (art-nouveau) and added the captain's shield and some american symbols and color scheme... Also, the brocade effect takes it a little closer to art sacro so I added the halo in the end to accentuate that vibe.

I like to have the beard and hair in a separate layer so I can color them together and have a clean transition, the beard is always going to be a little lighter so I use some color samples from the skin on some key areas, like the cheeks and around the mouth... At the very end I add some extra shine for that expensive looking, celebrity hair.

The shiniest part of the face is always the nose and a spot on the forehead, so that's usually my first step and I work from there to the rest of the face and then to the body... Also I use two almost identical shades for the highlights, one is more saturated and vibrant, and other that's more gray and muted to simulate light reflection from the skin.

When there's a a hard shadow in the body, I like to block that first and blend it later... If I start building up the color slowly like on the rest of the skin, it lacks depth and looks off.

This time I started with the nose... is the hardest part on Chris' face, the I build up the shadows around it, it looks a little ashy at first, but I'll warm it up later. Also having the beard in a separate layer was super useful to divide the face in smaller, easier to tackle portions.

This file feels a little simple after the Batman one, but it has the Jockstrap on a separate layer so it stills fun!

Now tell me it doesn't look appetizing... and I know what you're thinking, I did save some time by drawing just one hand and hiding the other in the back π

I really like how this color palette gives a soft blush to the skin, kind off like a vintage pinup poster... enjoy π

Everyone loved the Captain America commissions so much that I decided to make one for Patreon! this is my 3rd time drawing this handsome man and I have to tell you, it doesn't get easier... but I think he came out pretty good!
I went for my favorite version this time: short hair, full beard, smooth body and large dick! this is the SFW version wearing a Jockstrap just like you decided in last month's poll, and I kinda love it, I think I could design underwear as a hobby lol.
The ba...

4 years ago I used to like thicker lines, I was still learning some techniques that I've mastered since, so it's a little rough...
From time to time I like to go back to the stronger lines, and then slowly they get thinner and finer again.

This was also one of the first times I tried to document the process, at least the coloring part.

Back in the day, my Photoshop files were a little different, and you can see the beard effect in separate layers.

Made in 2016, this portrait was the first attempt of the "halftone beard" I was trying to find an easy and quick way to make stubble. I think it looks good but I don't really use it anymore, Back in the day I was still enjoying that synthetic, digital art look... now days I go for an organic feel.
There are some obvious anatomy issues and I didn't spend that much time in the background, but at the time I was very proud of this and I learned a lot making it.

Another throwback doodle... this one has never been completed.
At first, the idea was to reflect my insecurities regarding my body and the type of man I was becoming; my beard never filled up, I have minimal body hair, no muscles, I'm short, weak and skinny... So according to the men in my family, I was not "man enough".
I was trying to find some inspirational message to put in this drawing but then I got fat, and that brings a new set of issues, then I got skinny-fat, and after e...

I'm working on a different kind of illustration, I'll be testing some new coloring techniques and I'm stepping out of the usual subjects, is based on a random photo that I found on Tumblr years ago.

I really like this flat yellow background, I've noticed that I go full art-nouveau super busy or simple and empty... I don't do in the middle π€£π€£π€£

All the variations lined up, it was a lot of time getting all this done, specially with that intricate suit design, but I'm pleased for now lol.

I use this brushes a lot in all my Art-Nouveau backgrounds, they're a nice way to add texture and depth with an organic element that is not flowers, they're a little old but a very good size and very versatile, I've collected them over the years and now I'm passing them to you, use them wisely ππ

The first one is without lines, very soft and painterly. The second one is right before the highlights, and the 3rd is fully rendered.

I really like this utilitarian take on the Bat-suit, my favorite of the entire franchise, followed by the all black "anatomically correct" suit from Batman Forever.
This file helped me to organize the elements in my mind before adding all the color and FX.

I have to admit this wasn't my favorite drawing to ink lol, just the suit took so long, but I think it was worth it in the end... The bat ornaments in the frame are inspired by "Camazotz" the Zapotech Bat God of destruction and decay. π¦π¦π¦

The challenge here is to not over do it, is easy to get carried away when adding shine to the muscles.
