Raptor 4k Wallpaper + Poster

Finally finished with this beast - went through a few changes but basically stayed the same from the initial sketch. Dinosaurs have always been fun to draw and mixing it with a more psychedelic pastel color palette seemed like the right mix. I've attached the 4k wallpaper and process as well as a high res 18x24 poster file for anyone who wants to get it printed for their own personal use.

Grayscale 3 - 4k & 8k Wallpaper

Third design in my grayscale wallpaper series. Been having fun with these looser no-color designs and will probably continue doing more alongside the usual color pieces - might even try some blending of the two.

Let me know what you all think of these so far, and enjoy the wallpapers! 4k and 8k resolutions included in case people have bigger monitors.

Alphabites - Letter T

Most of the designs so far have been side facing up to this one so it seemed appropriate to try something looking directly forward. Inching closer to the end, only 6 left!

Grayscale 2 - 4k Wallpaper

Another black and white wallpaper - had a lot of fun with the first one and just rolled right into doing another. Still keeping the design looser than my usual stuff - let me know what you all think and if you want to see more black and white designs alongside the usual colorful works.

I included the process in a single sheet as well if you wanted to download that and see the whole thing from initial thumbnail sketches to the final piece.

Update: Reuploaded the wallpaper, should w...

Alphabites - Letter S

Going with more bright tones for this one. Inching closer to the end, only seven left!

Greyscale Monster - 4k Wallpaper

Trying something a bit different with my workflow for this one, keeping the linework loose and only sticking with one extra tone of grey for details. I find it closer to the energy of my sketches versus my usual detailed finish work. I might try more stuff like this in the future, so let me know what you all think of this one!

I've included the 4k black and white version as well as an alternate with a touch of red to bump up the contrast between the creature and background.

Enjoy!...

Alphabites - Letter R

Only eight left - slowly but surely we're getting closer to the end with these!

Alphabites - Q

I tried to make a more complete creature with this one, almost like a centipede mixed with a praying mantis. More to come, we've only got 9 left and then the whole thing will be done!

Alphabites _ Letter P

16 letters down - we're getting closer! As I've been working on these each week I noticed how my color section works, and looking back you can see I generally gravitate towards more reds and blues. Even when trying to purposefully stray away from those colors for a change between letters the next one always seems to head back in towards those reds and blues.

 I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, I tend to always start with primary colors as a base then work from there, it's just been ...

Wallpaper WIPs: Raptor and 3 Monitor Desktops

Works in progress - the dinosaur wallpaper is coming along, working on finishing the raptor lines then coloring him in before moving on to the background. I'm really liking the pastel colors for this one so hopefully those stick until the end, there's a nice contrast between the main character and background.

And a second update - been a while since I posted the first of the 3 Monitor wallpapers but I've finally starting picking away at it again! This one may take a bit longer in betwee...

Alphabites - Letter O

The letter O is all finished up! Went a bit more cutesy with this one to break things up but it still has the same feel as the rest of the letters so far. We're past the halfway point by a couple letters now, just need to keep on trucking until they're all done.

Alphabites - Letter N

14 of 26 done! Still having a lot of fun with these, they're great experiments in finding new ways to create monsters within the constraints of each letter. Letter O is net up!

Mutant Raptor Wallpaper WIP

Working on a new wallpaper design based around an old raptor illustration I had done. Here's the rough base for now.

HYPA HYPA BEAST

EDIT: I missed the tongue layer in the original post so I corrected that and also added another version without text in case anyone wanted that too.

A fun little illustration based around combining my Hyperbeast character and the band Electric Callboy, which ended up being this 80s looking workout monster. Hope you all dig it - I have included the high res version as well as the linework file in standard printing paper format (8.5x11'') if anyone wants to print it out for coloring.

Alphabites - M

Halfway done!

Alphabites - Letter L

Just about halfway there!

Another letter down.

From the Vault: Organ Opera 4K Wallpaper

Another oldie - the design of this one was mainly influenced by the collaborative works of HR Giger and Martin Schwartz. I really dig how those pieces meshed together and wanted to try something with a similar palette in my style.

Added in a grayscale version as well in case anyone wanted a version with no color - enjoy!

T-rex Sketch

A rough t-rex drawing based on an ink sketch. I've been trying to sort out my ideas first in my sketchbooks before jumping straight to the computer. It's a great way to warm up in the morning and get out some bad ideas or ideas you think may have looked cool in your head.

Catnip Linework + Full Color

Finished up this one - I wanted to make the image size the standard legal printing paper size (8.5x11") in case anyone wanted to print out a copy of the linework and color it in themselves.

Getting back to these - Reworked this one, will be onto the rest soon enough.

Hand Head

Illustration from sketch to final lines and colours. I wanted to keep the colours pretty basic and have minimal lighting as well. I think the end result turned out alright, the lines around the mouth are nice and chunky and you can't go wrong with red and blue. Enjoy!

Messy Dinosaur Finished

Messy Dinosaur WIP

Happy New Year everyone! Over the break I sketched some dinosaurs that I thought looked cool and wanted to combine a couple of them. Here are the results thus far - the linework is pretty much done so next step will be colours. Stay tuned!
