Looking forward to the Ninth Jedi! I’ve been hoping for a series of it since the first Visions short.
"It's not the years, it's the mileage," Here's some old Indiana Jones pieces. It's been some time, I need to draw him again soon.
Recently finished rereading the 2014 Mighty Thor run, still one of my favourite comics. I love Jane Foster’s arc through the books, eventually becoming Valkyrie. Had to draw a piece featuring some of Marvel’s Valkyrior.
Illustrated this Wonder Woman piece after catching up on reading Dark Knights of Steel.
I seem to have been collecting franchises that start with S. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stranger Things. I feel like I need to add more to this list. Quick, who needs a Sherlock Holmes, Sailor Moon or Superman cover?
Been a fan of the books for ages so it’s about time that I drew some Mistborn fan art.
A quick Hera Syndulla piece. I bought a set of mission patches from Galaxys Edge a couple years back and decided to give her a Top Gun style jacket with them all on. After all, Star Wars is all about cool jackets.
A collection of recent comic book covers I’ve illustrated. If you like these I’m currently available for work!
Here’s something I’m totally cool and calm and professional about. I GOT TO DRAW DA TURTLES! here’s my cover to TMNT #23 out this October!
The last and probably my favourite cover that I got to do for Pathfinders! It was such a joy to work on this book.
I've been drawing a few characters from DC's Absolute line recently. Here's Catwoman who just had her first issue drop last week from Che Grayson @ssnyder1835.bsky.social Bengal and team. It was a great intro and I'm really looking forward to seeing where the story goes!
Zatanna, the Mistress of Magic! I’ve been catching up on some comics recently and read Zatanna Bring Down the House, which was great! Realised that I hadn’t drawn Z in almost a decade so I had to rectify that.
The Adelphi Rangers I’m a sucker for X-Wing squadrons, and naturally a big fan of every time Adelphi Squadron shows up.
The Absolute DC Trinity Had to do a Batman and Superman to match the Wonder Woman I drew a few weeks back.
I’ve been working on this Mighty Nein piece on and off for a while now and it’s finally finished!
While struggling to figure out a composition for another piece, I started absentmindedly sketching random things. Eventually emerging with this piece! An unnamed pantoran Jedi, exploring a snowy world.
Mandalorian and Grogu! It’s always so fun to draw these two. Itching to draw a bigger piece but I think I’m gonna hold off till I see the movie.
Obi-Wan and Satine: on the run. I have a lot of things on my Star Wars bucket list, but very near the top would be drawing a comic about the year Obi-Wan and Satine Kryze spent on the run. (I'd also be very happy if it was an animated series)
Star Wars but it’s just Lancelot and Guinevere. This is probably still my favourite medieval/fantasy Star Wars piece to date.
It may be May the Fourth in some places buts it’s already the Revenge of the Fifth in Aus. Here’s a piece inspired by Maul: Shadow Lord.
Perfect way to end my May the Fourth is getting a sneak peak at the Mandalorian and Grogu!
‘They were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.” - Star Wars Novelisation Happy Star Wars Day y’all! I wanted to do a Rogue One piece since later this year we will be celebrating its 10th anniversary.
‘Capturing Memories’ A Clair Obscur @expedition33.bsky.social illustration inspired by Norman Rockell’s Triple Self Portrait.
My concepts of Revan and Malak, trying to make them feel more archaic - bulking them up, crossguard lightsabers using bronze, copper etc colours instead of silver and black. Revan took a lot of inspo from feudal Japan and Revan from the bulky Middle Ages armor- like the bevor protecting his face.
I designed Bastilla’s robes to show a progression from Old to High to Prequels. From battle robes to pathfinders to peace keeper.
a bit of a project to redesign some KOTOR characters. Making their designs align more to Star Wars design language whilst keeping the feel of the Old Republic.
