I sketched a few Swamp thangs while on hold with my gas supplier listening to what could only be described as interdimensional flushing toilets.

June is almost over so it’s time to clear out the iPad and share some sketches from May.
Really thought Windows95man/Teemu Keisteri (Finland) and alyona alyona & Jerry Heil (Ukraine) would have scored better in the competition, great performances and personal favourites. Would be tempted to do some proper fan-art of these artists at some stage, especially Windows95man… Bambie Thug would also be a lot of fun to draw.
Usually don’t bother much with #maythefourth but thought it’d be interesting to draw some SW characters quickly from memory. Considering how much of the star wars I’ve watched over the years it surprised me how these turned out without ref.
Only a month late this year, not too bad I guess and lets face it, kinda customary at this point. Started doing #alienday in 2019 and my approach to these creeps changes each time… still haven’t quite figured out that tricky Geiger anatomy but love adding all that unnecessary detail.
There ya go, another year, another #alienday, even came pretty close to finishing an actual page of comic art!
Tried something a bit different for Captain Britain using the symmetry ruler in clip studio paint. In hindsight looking at my initial roughs (below) I probably would have had more fun with a heroic/action pose.
Day 09 of #marveluktober is the ever so shiny and somewhat homicidal Death Metal! Believe it or not I attempted a version of this on paper and spent about an hour on it. Needless to say it did not work out so I quickly sketched up something in clip studio paint before going a little OTT with the texture. Some of it works I think… I mean I like the thumb print brush stuff in the background.
Got a little lazy with this one towards the end and relied heavily on the thumb print brush and ink spatter to fill in the bulk of the figure. I’m not entirely sure the composition works but I’m happy with the Mignolaesque background and general horror vibe.
Always loved this character, had some fun with the shading using a thumb print brush and stippler, such an awesome effect.
Here’s some initial sketches trying to figure this guy out, I was planning on a landscape orientation to vary these a bit.
