Works In Progress



I am somewhat notorious for starting big personal projects and never finishing them. Here are some recent examples. Who knows, maybe I'll finish them one day!
Gladiator vs. Monster
  This one was mostly inspired by an episode of Deadliest Warrior in which an Apache warrior and a Roman Gladiator were compared and pitched against one another in battle. The Apache won, but I now have a taste for Gladiator arms and armor and a newfound respect for the trident's effectiveness as a weapon.

Steampunk Baba Yaga Cottage - Graphite




Partially colored version of the above


Baba Yaga is quite possibly the coolest folktale character ever. I mean, a house. On bird legs. Making it a Steam Age monstrosity with a quaint flair and a lot of bronze is a recipe for pure, distilled, AWESOME.

Pity I never finished it. I am more likely to go back and finish this  than I am for the others.

Hellhound  
This was supposed to be for the Alphabeastiary challenge "H for Hellhound". I didn't finish it in time and lost interest. Unfortunately, it would seem that they have, too. Alphabeastiary has been very quiet of late.

Spaceships

After watching several speedpainting videos and a healthy dose of Stargate SG-1 over the past week, I've been increasingly inspired to doodle conceptual spaceships in my notebook. I picked out my favorite, and it's getting all polished up in Photoshop. Here's what I've got thus far.

Totally going to use it for worldbuilding on Toria or something. It's about time my headworld got some proper spaceships.

Also, I finally figured out how to draw a straight horizontal line in Photoshop! It's been, what, two years?
