So I draw dinosaurs and fantasy/historical characters.
Waiting for Leftovers
A troop of huntresses hides and watches as a Tyrannosaurus rex gorges on his kill. Hopefully the tyrant predator will leave some scraps for them to scavenge once he's done, but unfortunately his species has territorial tendencies. On the other hand, the tame raptor that the huntresses use as their blood-hound is already eager for the leftovers.
A Knight and Her Steed
A young West African knight, equipped with lance and ankylosaur-hide shield, has to walk her Allosaurus steed by the reins since he's gotten his leg injured in a recent skirmish. Only when it heals will she be able to ride him into battle as before.
This character was inspired by the farari (knight-like elite cavalry) from the Empire of Mali, which dominated West Africa along the Niger River during medieval times. Except of course they ride dinosaurs rather than horses in her setting. Because everything is better with dinosaurs.
Romans Recuperating
Deep in the forests of what will someday be known as Germany, a patrol of Roman legionnaires has settled down to catch their breath. The most fun part of this was giving each of the legionnaires something to do, however insignificant, so that they wouldn't all be just sitting there looking bored.
Don't feel too scared for the Christian dude's safety. Satanic connotations aside, that snake he's about to receive is really supposed to be a nonvenomous species.
Let My People Go
Moses, the champion prophet of the Jewish religion, challenges the Pharaoh to release his Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt. I've wanted to draw a scene like this for ages now, but the release of the Exodus: Gods and Kings movie prompted me to tackle it now. I didn't count the hours, but I am sure I spent far more time drawing and coloring this picture than I have any other art piece I've produced over the years. The perspective on the architecture alone was a major pain in the ass.
Apep Attacks
Ra and Sutekh, two prominent Neteru (gods) from ancient Egyptian mythology, battle the monstrous serpent Apep while sailing through the underworld of Duat.
Sutekh (better known to Western audiences as Set) is often perceived as the Egyptian pantheon's resident villain due to his power struggle with Heru (or Horus), but he was not always portrayed as an antagonist. Other traditions maintained that he helped Ra defend himself against Apep every night while their barge passed through Duat. OIf any entity in the whole Egyptian belief system represented evil incarnate, it would really be Apep rather than Sutekh.
While the long-nosed, long-eared creature commonly identified with Sutekh remains unidentified, I'm partial to the suggestion that it originally represented an aardvark, so I gave my rendition of Sutekh an aardvark motif. Since aardvarks have long claws for digging, the logical next step was to give Sutekh bracers with big claws on them, almost like Shredder from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
You may notice that Sutekh has reddish dreadlocks and lighter skin than Ra. This references a condition called rufous albinism, a poorly-known form of albinism more commonly observed in people of African descent. It's characterized by ruddy-brown skin, reddish hair, and hazel or brown eyes. Some sources claim that Sutekh had red hair and that red-haired people were considered to be his followers, so I thought rufous albinism would make sense for his human form.
As for Apep, his facial features are based off a subspecies of the Gaboon viper called Bitis gabonica rhinoceros, which has larger nose-horns than the other subspecies.
Battle for Jurassic World
We all know it's going to happen. We can only hope it'll turn out every bit as epic as we're hoping.

I haven't been drawing nearly enough. Inking this actually made my hand physically tremble, but by god I finished it.

I don't draw as much as I should, especially considering I hate how I draw yet won't put the effort into improving. So to hopefully push myself I started making a Dragon Age PMV, it'll be the Battle of Ostagar to the song Paradise by Within Temptation. I have like, 50+ pages to sketch still but I'm p satisfied with this one sketch, even if it's super rough and will probably be changed a few more times. Any critiques would be rad, haha.

So right now I'm working on a comic; it's about a hack artist named Andy Dyson who is desperately trying to be popular and relevant.
And just for fun, here's part of a shitty old comic from middle school! I've thought about posting it somewhere on the forum just for laughs, but I like you all too much to make you suffer. I'll just give you a tiny peek.

Can't wait to see the finished version of that Dobson comic!
Okay Kiwis, are you ready for some burly looking motherfuckers that look like henchmen from some Fist of The North Star ripoff anime?
Looks like between my previous manwhore post here and this one I've developed some fondness for drawing muscular dudes with ambiguous sexual preferences. Hope this won't develop into a fetish...

I am in the process of doing a fanart mashup - I'll post the ttwo in a separate spoiler if you want to test yourself on your gaming artstyle knowledge, but I was so happy to have finished one (it represented a lot of work and research into the techniques for thick lineart) that I decided to post it before I do the other two.
Note: The name of the character is "Father Gascoigne" but I have a friend who calls him Father G-Money so I did a version with the nickname. I will be changing it in the final piece.

I was doing up a new commission sheet and I wanted to show the different coloring tiers for it, so I did up this.
