Just a warm-up.

@Brandon: When you digitally color in your art, do you use a mouse, or do you have a graphics tablet?

That's you, right, Makayla, if I'm not mistaken?

I drew this in December 2010.

@ Makayla

Definitely a mouse. I remember once experimenting with a graphics tablet back in adolescence, but couldn't get the hang of it.

I might have more artwork after Thanksgiving.

And this was what I warmed up for. If it seems like I just suddenly started in the middle of a story, that's because I did.

Oh, and it's transparent for now. I'm coloring it in later.

Another MS Paint concoction of mine; this is the Press Your Luck player's area!

^ I like that background. It looks like it could belong in a cartoon on Cartoon Network.

Some crossover fan art of Dr Crobeci finding something. You can guess what it's crossed over with.

Hatshepsut on the Warpath
Although the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut is best known for her peacetime accomplishments, like most New Kingdom Pharaohs she was not a pacifist. Early in her career she did lead a number of successful military campaigns in Nubia and the Middle East, and she would have rode and loosed her arrows from a chariot like this. The Egyptians did not invent chariots, but once they acquired them from Middle Eastern invaders in the Second Intermediate Period, they improved on the design to better fit their desert habitat. For one, the Egyptian chariot was smaller than lighter than others, for example the bulky chariots used by the Hittites in Anatolia.

It should be needless to say that the zebras are my creative license. I chose them over horses in part to enhance the African flavor and in part because I thought the idea of a zebra chariot sounded novel.

Unfortunately I think I messed up Hatshepsut's nose.

By Candlelight

I know its not great and the face looks a little off! I was just playing around with lighting. I was out of sketching paper until last night. Wifey picked me up a sketchbook. Not sure if I will get some drawing in today or not, because I am feeling sh***y.

^ I like the placement of the shading, most of all on her nose and under her eyes.


Achilles vs Memnon
The Greek demigod Achilles charges and prepares to clash with King Memnon of Kush (or "Aethiopia" as the Greeks called it). Most artwork that I've seen featuring Achilles in a one-on-one duel pit him against the Trojan Hector, so I felt his earlier confrontation with Memnon deserved some artistic attention for once. A common theme uniting the two fights is that Achilles slew both of his opponents out of vindictive rage for his fallen comrades (Antilochus in the case of Memnon and Patroclus in the case of Hector). Apparently revenge was a big thing for the warrior cultures of the ancient Near East.

I was actually stumped with a choice of weapon for Achilles given his pose. I was originally going to choose a sword, but his helmet would have obscured most of the blade, so ultimately I went for a spear. Unfortunately it looks shorter than it should since most of the shaft is hidden by his head and shield.

Tshomba the Bakongo Healer
Time for a new original character!

It is the late 17th century. Tshomba is a healer and mage from the kingdom of Kongo on the Central African coast, but she has joined the dashing English privateer James Swann for a life of overseas adventure. Their various escapades have attracted the unwelcome attention of the ruthless bounty hunter Don Gallego, so Swann and Tshomba escape to a remote island deep in the equatorial Atlantic. Not only must they brave the island's indigenous dinosaur population, but Gallego has under his command an ancient Egyptian sorcerer whose most potent powers are not magical.

Tshomba's story actually came to mind after a recent dream that juxtaposed the characters from Pirates of the Caribbean with dinosaurs. At first I wanted to use Captain Jack Sparrow himself for the male lead, but I switched to a wholly original story since I have more creative freedom that way (and honestly Captain Jack, while funny, is too morally confusing for my taste).

This isn't a finalized design for Tshomba. I actually want her gown and head-wrap to look a lot more polychromatic as that's how I describe them in her story, but somehow I didn't feel ready to apply intricate Central African patterns to larger sheets of fabric.

Figured I'd post some of my old artwork:
