Korra & Asami Art Nouveau Portraits

A pair of art nouveau portrait commissions I had the pleasure of doing last month. They request Korra with water elements and Asami with mechanical elements highlighting their relationship. I’m really happy with their expressions looking at one another.

These drawings were done on separate 9 x 12″ bristol paper using Copic Multiliners.


Xena Art Nouveau Portrait

Art Nouveau portrait of Xena Warrior Princess for my lovely friend’s birthday. I never got to watch the show (didn’t get to watch much tv growing up) but I think I would have liked it. Not sure about trying to watch it now…?

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.

“Jazzy Aric” Overwatch Portrait Commission

This was a very special commission made as a gift for a friend’s son for his 18th birthday. Part fanart, part portrait, it combines the birthday boy with his favourite Overwatch character “Jazzy”. I was told that he loves his gift and its going to have it framed and hang it in his room.

Dr. Sketchy’s Life Drawing with Tease Rex and Miss Maple Rose

Gallery Notice : Images have either not been selected or couldn't be found

From no life drawing to two sessions back to back! Sketching Tease Rex at Dr Sketchy’s Melbourne was an absolute blast! Perhaps the first ever burlesque dancer? The evening than heated up with the lovely and crimson Miss Maple Rose.


Covert Characters Life Drawing – From Dusk till Dawn Session

Gallery Notice : Images have either not been selected or couldn't be found

First life drawing session for 2018! Sketching the beautiful Ferri and Wanda the snake in From Dusk till Dawn Santanico Pandemonium tribute! Very rapid sketches because Wanda kept shifting positions. But a great challenge to shake off the rust.


Happy Lunar New Year! Year of the Dog

Happy Lunar New Year!

May the Year of the Dog bring joy, prosperity and strength.

I look forward to doing these horoscope illustrations every year!


Paintball Pin Up

A paintball pin up drawing birthday gift for a friend. I may clean up this drawing and color it to produce a limited run of stickers.


Hellboy Art Nouveau Portrait

Hellboy Art Nouveau Portrait

Mike Mignola has been an inspiration to me not only for his amazing art and storytelling but for his craftmanship combining the two.

A reminder I still have a few spot open for commissions – details here


Sniper Wolf Metal Gear Solid

Sniper Wolf of Metal Gear Solid ink drawing done as a gift.

I know very little about these games except for one experience years ago of a cut scene so long we had time to make lunch, eat lunch and clean up before it finished.

I’m really happy with this drawing. Sometimes just a few lines suggesting shapes rather than illustrating lots of details really works.
