A Ronin stands calmly in a Bamboo thicket contemplating his past. Petals and leaves move around him as the wind moves through. His Katana clutched tightly to his chest. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper.

#comics Avengers Armageddon #1 Written by Chip Zdarsky Art by Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar From #Marvel A strong start, superhero books are great when the stakes are truly dire. Visually it’s stunning. Clever panels, popping action and beautiful detail. Marvel have got this one right.

#Comics MASK #1 Written by Dan Watters Art by @pye.bsky.social Colours by Pierluigi Casolino From @skybound.bsky.social Excellent, exciting first issue. A great opener that felt like my favourite bond movie just before the opening credits. It builds the suspense perfectly. A brilliant start.

A conversation at work today jogged my memory about my love for ‘The Eye of Webbish Bog’. In turn I’ve also found that I have some prints of him left!. He is now back up in the store below. lukeridgeillustrations.bigcartel.com #StarWars #illustration #Printdesign #Creatureart #Traditionalart

The Eye of Webbish Bog sits on the head of his Ogre counterpart. His spider like legs grip every side of his leathery scalp. They live a symbiotic relationship. Surrounding them, still water and chard tree trunks. A mist slowly moves past and around them. Living on the lava moon of Muatafar is not easy.

2-4B graphite on 110gsm A3 paper. Edited and coloured in ‘Photoshop’ and ‘Krita’. Prints now back in my store!

Wow. #Williams take note. This is a special livery. Based around the M2B from 1966. White with a British racing green stripe down the nose to the air intake above the driver. Really smart and striking. Well done @portalmclarenbr.bsky.social #McLaren F1 #Silverstone #BritishGP #Formula1 🇬🇧

Some of the best fun to be had in @nomansbsky.bsky.social currently is being able to build a ship from scratch. To fit pieces together until you find something that real makes your heart and brain sing. It’s a #SciFi fans ultimate dream. #Spaceships

‘Black Knight III’. The third iteration of this ship. A wide and flat body with large engines Sat out on arms on each side. Each side comes to a sharp edge. The cockpit sits at the front with the body pushing out slightly in front on each side. Black in colour with yellow accents. Flying through. Asteroid field in a green gas nebula. Image captured on PS5.

Moving away from us. ‘The Black Knight III’ flys at full tilt through a thick field of asteroids and shards of ancient ice. A planet can be seen in the far distance, the target of this flight. The surrounding space glows with a deep green colour. Image captured on PS5.

Lots on the drawing table at the moment, including this little #Dragonsnake piece. He was just too beautiful in the movie not to immortalise on paper. More soon. ✏️ #illustration #Pencilart #Graphitedrawing #WIP #Creaturedesign #Fanart #Drawing #Traditionalart #MandalorianandGrogu #StarWars

The bizarre #Marvel / #WilliamsF1 collab continues. Greg Land seems to be getting a cover (shame) and these screen grabs from an Instagram post may also be Land too (no idea if these are interiors or just for advertising). Still no announcement on any creative team. No one knows 🤷‍♂️ #comics
