wow new art. honestly I have no idea how this one survived, with a power outage literally 10 minutes before I was done, which eradicated 5 crucial layers.

real paper doodles. different pens. I'm ashamed to admit that often the 5 bucks cheap one can compete with premium ink pens. To a certain degree, it's just not about the pen.

Donald Kingsbury sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/kingsb... was born on this day, so here's some related artwork (artist: Sparth, David B Mattingly, Paul Orban and Chris Foss). The 2nd is the cover art for "The Moon Goddess and the Son"; the 3rd from the June 1952 issue of Astounding for "The Ghost Town":

I wish I could bake in the sun like this. Oh yea, but ... Seattle.

Titan

A SW Mandalorian inspired piece.

More postapo stuff incoming ...

Obsessed with water reflections. Always.

I'll add a small dose of my glitchy landscapes here too.

Science fiction abstraction

Procreate Pocket iPhone sketch. Painting on an iPhone has its quirks and challenges, but for some reasons the limitations are weirdly addictive.

My friend Robogabo is on Bluesky. ❤️

saw a 'post a monster' type post, somewhere

Little critters i love

I really need to post this one as a reminder to move my butt and do more in this style.

Let's give that new network a go! Here's a page of the graphic novel I'm working on. #Saunterer #graphicnovel #procreate

I'm going to post some old stuff first I guess...

Real paper and ink sketches. A few months ago, Peter Han gave me a Karrapo pen. Finally gave it a more extended try with a full page, and wow I'm loving it. I need to buy more.

dreich Mileships wip
