LARP Character Portrait Commission

Another different kind of portrait commissioned by my friend of him as his LARP/ Swordcraft character. He made most of his costume as well as his healer equipment himself.

Copic Multiliners on 9 x12″ bristol paper. For the the very fine details of the face and beard I had to use my smallest pen- 0.03 nib


Battle Chasers Red Monkia

Red Monkia – Pistol wielding charming outlaw from Joe Madureira’s Battle Chasers.

Joe Madureira’s art is a major reason why I started reading the X-Men comic books as a kid. His style has so much movement and when he drew characters they seemed to be more solid and more expressive. They reminded me more of animation, which I loved, then any other comic art I had seen at the time.

I’m not much for video games but I’m tempted to try Battle Chasers: Nightwar firstly because it looks amazing and secondly to final see his comic book characters move.

The Opal Knight

The Opal Knight -Raven hair woven with pearls, armour shimmering like mother of pearl in the sun, armed with a sword that’s blade swirls with opal fire. Do not be dazzled by her. Do not be fooled by delicacy and grace. She is harder than stone and swifter than lightning.

Finished ink drawing with some photoshop edits. Inspired by traditional Armenian costume and pattern.


Sweet Violet Fairy

Sweet Violet Fairy loved to paint the forest floor with her vibrant flowers spreading their sweet aroma.

The second of my fairy illustrations done in Copic Multiliner pens and white colored pencil.

Common plants, edible, medicinal or merely weeds are still beautiful.


Dandelion Fairy

Fairy of the Dandelions, playful and small, likes to see her wishing seeds dancing in the air.

Copic Multiliner pens and white colored pencil on brown paper.

From concept and reference to finished inks this piece took about 3 hours.
