Monster Making 101 FIDO

Hello my horrific fiends! it's Monster Makin' 101 time an I'm the artist on it what no way! Dan was nice enough to offer me the chance to be one of the artist for the Monster Makin' 101 section over at Horrornewsnetwork.net an being the nice guy I am I took him up on the offer. For my Monster Makin' 101 piece I picked to do a piece based off my new Horror Movie Fan Art line. A classic new zombie movie called FIDO so sit back an enjoy the 5 easy steps that I take when making a piece like this.

Step1: I take a colored led for a mechpencil usually green or any color that I have. The reason i do this is just to get the general shape of the piece together. Also the colored led doesn't show up on grayscale scan once it's all inked an finished."the scan not the best seeing it's done in color scan but yeah ha ha"
Step2: The next step is I take my 4H lead art pencil & I will go over all the green an start mapping out the hair an nose,mouth, eyes etc. Note never press hard on the lead or put alot of time an detail into it just yet, cause if your like me you might change it about 4 times or more before your happy ha ha

Step3 & 4: This is where more of the fun stuff starts to come in, I usually do this all in one step but I thought i would break it into two, to well make it longer ha ha. This is where you start adding more facial details to the eyes an what ever other detail you might like to make your piece come to life more. Then once you get the detail done you start working on the shading for the piece. With this one I had a general idea where the shading would be so I mapped out where the blacks would be an then added the detail from there. Also in this step you can add in a background if you want to have one, I just added in a basic one to take up most of the boring white space.
Step5: The last an final step for me, seeing I don't add my own colors yet. This is where you make the piece more bold an make it "pop" more with a nice layer of Black ink, For this step I used a 0.1 Staedtler Pigment Liner for the whole piece 11x14' alot of ink ha ha. All & all I think it's a great piece an great for my Horror Movie Fan Art line of pieces. I hope you all enjoyed it folks, give it a shot if you dare!

Deviant Art Contest Entry

Heres another older piece from a year or so back when I was still doing superhero work. This one was done for a contest on Deviant Art that I came across for One Eyed Joe comic I think thats it can't remember now haha. You had to create your own character fighting One Eyed Joe so I created Eh-Man! Overall I'm still have with this piece, not perfect by far Eh! Man stomach area could be a little thicker for my liking an some other small details but I thought I would show it anyways, hope you like it folks!

Spawn sketches

Here's some older spawn sketches that I did up. I never got around to inking them, still have them on desk some where with all the other sketches ha ha. The first one is of Spawn him self of course. Always been a huge fan on him, one of the reasons I got into comics in general he's just bad ass to me. I hope you like it folks!Next is a piece done up of The Violator another very cool character in general I think, an was a lot of fun doing these up. If I can remember correctly I did them both up the same day while watching the Spawn Animated cartoon series, which kick ass I might add ha ha.

Swamp Thing

Heres another piece from last year sometime, my first ever time drawing Swamp Thing. Always been a fan of Swamp Thing he's a very cool character an alot of fun to draw. Not to bad for my first time drawing him I think, of course not perfect but still a decnt piece I think. I might to a better version of him sometime too just have to wait an see! I hope you all like it folks!

Some Older Clive Barker Sketches!

Heres some older sketches I dug out of my picture vault. Only done about a year or so ago but still old to me haha. These are all inspired by his writing. I am a huge fan of the characters he creates he has some very awesome ones. Also a big fan of the NightBreed series have some of the comics an the movie is pretty cool too! I'll start of first by showing off some NightBreed inspired work I hope you like it folks.

Heres a piece that I did of Pinhead from the Hellraiser series, a very cool character all around. This piece was done with a more cartoony look then the others, at least to me it does with the shape of the face an stuff. This was around the time when I was deciding on doing more cartoony or real looking stuff, an well I went for more real darker stuff an I'm glad I went with it, I personally think the stuff of late hasd been the best stuff i've ever done an it just keeps getting better in my opinion. I hope you enjoy the Pinhead sketch folks. I plan on doing a Candyman piece in the future like my Fido,Nightmare On Elm Street & Addams Family pieces too. Not sure on when that will be though.

Man-Thing Quick Sketch!

Heres a Man-Thing quick sketch that I did up today for someone, only had about 2 hours to spare, so it was a little rushed but mainly only with the water, so I might go back an fix it up a little bit when i can get some more free time. I think I only own one issue of Man-Thing so i'm not that familiar with his look, but I looked some stuff up for referece & I think he has the same look as all the others do, so hope you all like it folks!

Older Stuff

Tonight I thought I would take some time out to post some older stuff from a couple years ago, haha seems so long ago. I'll started off first with a piece I did for fun of a Slapstick comic page. I think from issue 2 or 3. He's a fun character to draw so I thought it would be fun to do an for practice on drawing pages an panels an such seeing this was back when I was just getting into comics. This was also back when I was deciding which paths I wanted to go Cartoony or more real looking an superhero or Horror stuff, an we all know which one I went with haha.Also heres another older piece, that I did for the Deadmen & Poodleskirts comic series. This one is also a couple years old now i'm thinking. It was a pin-up cover sketch, looking back on it now I can see a "Huge" art improvement as least I do personally, this is nothing compared to my Fido & Addam Family pieces in my opinion of course. I still think it's a good piece, i'm just alot happier with my stuff as of late. This piece also when colored an stuff was gonna be a Tales From The Crypt homage style cover.

New Monster Makin' 101 quick sketch

So this week a new monster makin'101 sketch was posted on up Horrornewsnetwork.net so being the normal user of the site, I did my own quick version of it, it's really rushed an i'm not all that happy with it, I might do a better one later on this month if I can get more then a couple hours free time to sketch.

The Addams Family

I also used a statue that I found on the web for reference on this piece. Hope you all like it folks!

The Next piece is the first sketch from Comicmonsters.com new colum "Monster Makin' 101"The Idea is to have artist show how to draw a monster an have the people on the site if they want re-draw it using the easy steps shown.
