Three versions of Path Between Stars 5. All are still works in progress.

This is "Champion Floribunda". It is 5x7 inches. Here's the final version of the fourth project in the Champions series. The dragon is made with Prismacolor pencils and gel pens over a watercolor underpainting. There are many semiprecious stones and other 3D embellishments.

Here is a set of details from Yantra of Dubious Provenance 2 so that you can see all the lovely eyes. Prismacolor pencil over an ink drawing.

This is "Yantra of Dubious Provenance 2". It is not a meditation aid, as the geometry is deliberately skewed. And it's made of bones, eyes, teeth, and wings. I used Prismacolor pencils over ink to make this monstrosity. There are black agates, lapis lazuli, and manmade turquoise stones.

This is "AvP: Dragonslayer". Finally finished after about 75 hours effort (drawing, inking, coloring). Prismacolor pencils over watercolor wash over ink drawing. Love me some monstrous details!

Years ago, a friend wrote an Aliens-themed "Three Little Pigs" fable in which neither piggies nor Big Bad Wolf came off well at the end...

Spot illustrations for Tremorworks Demongate bestiary. Today: Bakeneko, Baku (art director's notes, not historically sourced...), Cerberus, and Chalkydri. Made with Zig and Micron pens on paper.

Lineart done in 2013 for a DeviantArt contest. Mashup of TRON and the Firebird ballet's pas de deux. I colored it later with Prismacolors, then added circuit boards on a lower layer. The glow is a simple Photoshop effect.

Spot illustrations for Tremorworks: Demongate High bestiary, which included angels, demons, and other entities. These are four of the demons. I used Microns to ink them. #ink #drawing #art #traditional #demon #angel

This is the dragon design for the fourth in my Champions series. I haven't settled on a title just yet. Prismacolor pencils and gel pen over watercolor. Inspired by Mom's orchids and also nudibranchs. #dragons #traditionalart #drawing

This is "Dragons of Every Dawn: Rat". Yes, I've been busy this week! #traditionalart #dragon #rat #mixedmedia #coloredpencil

Finished version of "Champion Terrani et Vermiculi". Not my usual color palette, and therefore a good challenge. #traditionalart #traditionalmedia #mixedmedia #dragon #coloredpencil #stones

This is "Dragons of Every Dawn: Serpent". It will be one of twelve, all of them dragons based on the Chinese Zodiac. Colored pencils on paper, plus gel pen and semiprecious stones. #traditionalart #mixedmedia #coloredpencils #dragon #stones

This is the third in my "Champions" series, and is still a work in progress. I'll be assembling a background with 3D embellishments soon. Colored pencils on paper - among other things. #art #traditionalart #coloredpencils #mixedmedia #dragon #earthtones

This is "Tapestry of the Vigilant", an image that comes from my "Dragon Adventure 4" coloring book. I've enlarged it to 14x17 so I could really play with the detail. #coloredpencil #art #traditionalart #traditionalmedia #fantasy #dragon #featheredserpent #quetzalcoatl #colorful

These are "Path Between Stars 3" and "Path Between Stars 4". Stipple shading takes some effort, but I love the end result. #ink #dragons #space #stars #flght #art #traditionalart #penandink #indiaink #stipple #drawing

This is "Expressions of Light 19", which lineart was completed in 2022. I've added watercolor since then, but haven't gotten around to full color yet. I used Micron pens, then cleanup in Photoshop. ~15x15 inches. #lineart #angel #wings #ink #fantasyart #art #costume

This is Dragon Dance 3. The lineart appears in Dragon Adventure 2, and the colored one was just me having fun. #art #dragons #fantasy #lineart #coloringbook #traditionalmedia

Bugs bugs bugs bugs. These are 2005 spot illustrations for the miniatures game "Hive, Queen, and Country". #ink #drawing #traditionalart #shading #crosshatch #Micron #RPG #creaturedesign

Putting this here for my fellow Android users.

Hot off the drawing table, this is a Strange Angel - a semi-abstract collection of wings and fire. I will be coloring the drawing later; I'll add a bunch of eyes at that point. I made this with Micron pens on drawing paper. It is 9x12 inches. #ink #drawing #traditionalart #angel

Here's another bird! This is "Song in the Sky 6". I've reused this phoenix design several times, because it is relatively simple and lots of fun to color. I used Prismacolor pencils and gel pens. There are acrylic "rain dots", too. #art #traditionalart #coloredpencils #drawing #phoenix

How about an oldy-moldy? This is an Aliens vs Predator piece called "In Her Majesty's Service", from 2004. I had a lot looser inking style back in the day.

I made this for my dad years ago. He's a fan of Salvador Dali, and "Persistence of Memory" is one of his favorite pieces. He described this spoof idea to me, and once my skills caught up, I drew this for him. "Persistence of Star Trek". #Spoof #StarTrek #Surrealism #Dali #soft

Recently read Tanith Lee's "Tales of the Flat Earth" series (halfway through v5). Rumored to be the "source" for Sandman, but not like Sandman at all. Very much unique, opulent, magnificent, and weird. Might have a crush on Azhrarn. Feeling *yowza*; might make art later. Read it if you haven't!

This is "Night Forest Dragon". I don't often make portraits, so this was a fun exercise. I could let my detailing fancy loose on individual scales. #dragon #portrait #fantasy #traditionalart

This is "Fields of Gold 2", a piece I used to experiment with layering. While I typically use two or three layers, this is a rare case where I have layered the subject itself. Takes more work, but love the effect and so plan to do more.

As much as I like space monsters, I haven't drawn any in quite a long time. Got a backlog of dragons to dig through before I can get back to my favorite, the Predator. This one is "Shogun", done as a prize drawing for a DA friend several years ago.

This is "Champion Maris", the image that appears on my profile, behind my avatar. It is a small project at 5x7 inches, and is part of a planned series of small projects.

This is a small piece at 5x7 inches. It is called "Champion Flamme" and is part of a planned series of small dragons with included bibbles. Smaller = more affordable!

Here's the full dragon that I used for my avatar image. This is "Turquoise Paramount", and it is one of the earliest Stone Dragons that uses 3D elements. (Also a personal favorite.) Dragon was colored with Prismacolors over watercolor base. #art #dragon #fantasy #traditionalart

Birdy-things make me happy. I have both line art and a colored version of this phoenix-like critter, "Distant Star 6". Line art is for my coloring book series, "Dragon Adventure". Colored version was done with Prismacolor pencils over watercolor. #fantasy #art #phoenix #bird

This is "Dragon Dance 5", a fun piece that involved most of the colors in my pencil box. I used Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing. #dragon #featherwings #colorful

This is a personal favorite, "Beyond the Outer Spheres". Though there's a watercolor underpainting, this time you can see very little of it. The Prismacolor pencils overtook about 95% of the board. #dragon #space #abstract

This is "Tapestry of the Challenger 3". I used Prismacolor pencils over a watercolor base. There are lots of gel and glitter pen accents, and a bunch of semi-precious stones.

A couple of years ago, I created an eye-searing design for a friend's book promotion project. I had a couple of alternate ideas I wanted to try, and this is one of them - lots of bones, wings, eyes, and teeth! It will be "Yantra of Dubious Provenance 2".

Here's my sole completed project from 2024, The Paisley Dragon. It was a commission for a friend. The dragon was created with colored pencil over watercolor and ink. There are all kinds of 3D bibbles, including semi-precious stones.
