This week’s character debut isn’t just a villain as much as he’s THE villain. The Inquisitor looks like some crazy villain from yesteryear because that’s what he’s supposed to look like. The problem is that he wasn’t as crazy as he appears and will have a major influence on current stories and characters. The pictures […]

Hello. My brain power has been reduced to that of a voodoo-flavor zombie due to a sudden and abrupt shift in day job work schedule. My cunning plan to start the month with lots of black-and-white artwork of my characters was ruined by being too sleepy to draw straight. Sadly, that means I only have […]

Here’s today’s crossover update with ScrollBoss. I have the Thing sprite that I previewed last week and it includes an work steps animation that shows the sprite being worked on. I also have a quick pic of Bomberman that I penciled at the Black Friday event in All-American Comic’s Warren, Ohio store. Check out these […]

It’s nice to finally have a non-crappy picture of Star Sapphire on the site. I’m unsure when I’ll be able to fully color this but it should be before the end of the year. I’ve been getting commission projects from people that I already know and that’s been helping me to hammer out my commission […]

I spent most of last week working on two different commissions and getting a few things ready for the joint Illmosis/ScrollBoss update on Thanksgiving weekend and feeling like I’d been run over by a freight train due to sinus issues. I tried to work on a character design yesterday even though I spent most of […]

Extra hours on the dayjob and working on a commission (that you may see next week) meant less time to work on the scribbles. I finally turned the pic of Arthur (from the Ghosts ‘n Goblins series) into pixel art and fixed a lot of the mistakes I made with the helmet. I also made […]

This week’s update is shared with my ScrollBoss gaming site with new stuff being added there Friday along with today. All of the updates share two things in common: Horror (for Halloween) and early NES games. The Castlevania 1 version of Medusa follows Death into the gallery and Death himself returns in a scratch-made sprite. […]

The 25th Anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System caught me by surprise so I felt I had to celebrate somehow. The picture of Mario here is a slightly improved version of the picture I drew on the evening of the anniversary but didn’t like. The original version was NOT good enough to show that night. […]

Yes, there was a ghost monster involved in last week’s update but the main attraction of this week’s newness is really getting into the Halloween state of mind. It’s the Bubble Head Nurse from Silent Hill 2, a game I’ve never even played. Yes, I’ve drawn something from a game that isn’t over ten years […]

Yes, that was Ms. Pac-Man’s 1st maze in the picture I posted last weekend. The pictures of Ms. Pac-Man and Sue that I drew and colored a few months ago now use different parts of the maze as a background. I’m getting a bit better at sorting things out in Inkscape before bringing them into […]
