Little Dragons

The pair of newborn green dragons had grown to 15 feet from tip to tail. One was obviously bigger but the little one loved to harass and chase. The falls provided them a safe place to spar and hunt the smaller creatures of the forest. Soon their wings would be strong enough to fly and then the real fun would begin!

The Battle of Acid Creek

From the archives. A true Gamma World adventure.

Travelling through the wastelands the mutant adventurers came across what looked like an ordinary stream. The first attempt to cross was met with the realization that the stream was highly corrosive to any metal, and we had a lot of metal. Suddenly a giant crustacean-like creature scuttled over the bank and attacked. Thanks to some accurate fire from the old flintlock rifles and the sting of the electro sword the monster was defeated and its body used to create a bridge to cross the foulness of the acid creek

Creature Double Feature

Tales from the back yard. Something resembling this little guy landed on a leaf a few inches from my face in the garden a couple of days ago. His head was shaped like an upside down saucer and looked like an alien helmet.

This sea dragon was inspired by the spikes of this little beauty that lines the edge of the woods out back. I'm not sure what type of plant it is but Yikes!

Golden Lair

Like the great trickster Anansi, the arachnoid used its cunning and guile to lure the wayward and greedy into it's golden lair. Few could resist the lure of the sparkling caverns and the riches they contained. The man-spider possessed enough magic to alter it's appearance.  Only in the depths of its lair would it reveal its true form and the real nature of its intentions.

White Paintings

Here are a few example from a series of painting done a few years ago. The idea was to execute each painting in a single sitting. The subject revolved around a series of sword wielding figures. Like engaging in a real duel,  the idea was to execute the picture using as few marks as possible. The fewer it took, the more successful the struggle. The more it took the more difficult the paintings became. It was a minimalist approach that kept me focused on simple shapes and most using the most efficient brushstrokes to describe the characters and actions.

Exploration continued

This is another painting from my Exploration series. The sketch was posted a few weeks ago. A few figures may be added and the ship is in need of some detail and design improvements.

Digital doodles

Here are a few digital doodles. It is always fun to try out some new digital brushes and work on simple color ideas. I usually start with a landscape and see what happens.
