Featured Creature: Moonlit Were

I'm going to take a break from the Devil's Square focus for a bit and pursue some straight up creature sketches.  This week we have a more painterly were-creature.  I've been so controlled with my compositions lately, I wanted to try something a little more organic and expressive.  I also haven't been getting nearly enough practice painting in Photoshop, so I've added that to my to do list.  Expect more in this style.
 
This piece also has an element of whimsy in it that surprised me once I'd finished it.  The overwhelming darkness of the world lately has been a bit much for me so I don't mind a bit of whimsy here.

Saturday Sketch: Golden Age Ian Karkull

One of Doctor Fate's earlier villains, Ian Karkull plagues Doctor Fate and the Golden Age Green Lantern well into the modern age of comics.  During their first encounter, it is Doctor Fate that causes Karkull to become trapped in his shadow form.

Featured Creature is Two Years Old!

Today marks the second year of Zombie Bites Featured Creature!  Here's a bit of creepiness to celebrate the day!  I had a bit more planned for celebration, but my recent computer woes threw a gigantic wrench into the works.  We'll see what the rest of the month holds.

Crawling towards Connectivity

My computer issues are on their way to being solved, but it may be a week or two before I'm back up to full speed.  I haven't gotten my Adobe suite back up and running yet so Featured Creature and Saturday Sketch will be on hold until I am able to create again.  Things may be a little choppy here until I can get things back in order, but I will be back to semi-regular posting.

Computer delays

This weekend I had a major computer issue develop with my laptop. I don't know when I will be able repair it, but until that point I'm afraid things will be on hold here.

From the Archives: Dark RPG Versus

Here we have an armed man struggling with some shadowy denizen.  This piece is from a older portfolio that I had created to present to RPG companies.  I think White Wolf had just exploded at the time.

Featured Creature: The Devil's Square, Dr. Liam Hofstadter

Drafted into the service by the the Department of Extranormal Phenomena, Dr. Liam Hofstadter has become the unwilling agent of the secretive agency.  Though primarily a man of research and writing, the longer he stays within the department the more he finds himself drawn into greater and greater physical danger.  His research and his actions within the DEP will inevitably lock him onto a collision course with the Devil's Square.
