Something for Nothing


Bad day all around today. Was in a miserable mood tonight, so decided to just draw something without it being for anything. Not for work, or as a study, or a contest. Just a drawing to get some of the blahs out.

Bela Lugosi's Dead


Quick painting for a GameArtisans contest. Do a portrait of a horror character like an old fashioned portrait.
I did Bela in one of rembrandt's poses, I tried to do brushwork like Frans Hals, but don't think I nailed it.

New Personal Project Starting

Warhammer 40k Chaos Space Marine.
Just did a real quick pass in zbruh to get heights and scale.

The guy all the way on the left is my height (5'6") the Marine is the 7'6" the various 40k forums seem to agree is the "official" height. He looks positively massive compared to a normal person.
