Macabre kids’ book art by Gojin Ishihara

From Pink Tentacle...

If I saw some of these pics as a kid, I wouldn't be sleeping.

7 Swords Cover, #10

Digging those watercolour tools.  SAI also extracts lineart in one easy step.  Take that photoshop alpha channels.

William Feist

Done for my buddy Calvin, William Feist from the comic he draws, William Feist, Paranormal Investigator over at Drunk Duck.

Paint tool SAI

I'm officially impressed with Paint Tool SAI's blender, much easier and smoother than photoshop.  Catch is, it lacks things like text that you kind of need for comics.

New toy

Got a new tablet laptop and it is pretty fine,  I can walk around officiously with it and pretend I'm in Sanctuary.  I'm running Paint tool SAI on it instead of photoshop and this pic of Chau is my first attempt.  It seems to implement brush pens much better than photoshop.

Naga

Not sure why she has an axe.  To cut through the thicket of ignorance perhaps?

Medusa

Ooops, gotta go back and get rid of that scan line on the right hand side.

Demon King Parade

Because everyone loves zombies.  Actually, zombies are getting a bit too mainstream for comfort.  Bruce laBruce is crazy, but I thought that Otto, or Up with Dead People made some interesting connections between the mainstreaming of gay culture, zombie culture and what happens to outsiders when that happens.   I guess a political zombie porno movie was inevitable....

Walter

Cover for the compilation of The Seven Swords chapters 5 & 6.  I'm in the process of moving my comics over to Smack Jeeves, here.   Webcomics nation seems a bit like a ghost town these days.

Ace, The Rabbit

Yeah, go Lemmy.

The 'Taur

Or 'Tar' I guess if you are from the US and pronounce it with a silent U.  5 of Clubs

Swamp Witch

An oldie but one I like.  RIP Lux.

Eurydice

3 of hearts.

Apocalypse Trumps

Drawing on Michael Kaluta here for some creepy not-quite-tarot cards.

Cuisine Cops Birthday Card

Guv!

7 Swords cover, chapters 9 & 10

I was fairly over ambitious with this one, but I guess I learned a few things about digital painting along the way.   Wish I had more time just to tool around in photoshop.

Prometheus

Prometheus, 8 of spades and I think his liver is on the wrong side.  Still, probably just some sloppy vulture work.

Kali

The seven of spades, if I'm not wrong. ("You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole")

Hermes

One in a series of playing card myth inspired images, got a few of these now, but nowhere near 52.  Wonder how hard it is to get a deck of cards printed?

Drawing Day 2010: Goatsticks!

Glad I didn't try to draw this one from the front.
