Nebula 1

Feeling a little better - still not 100% but getting there. Here's another quick little space scene. I wanted to make it a little brighter than the first one and played around with the lighting and textures on the dark clouds and asteroids.

Galaxy

Nora asked me to draw a galaxy for her, so being the good and caring daddy that I am,  I started looking into how to do it with Procreate (the art program I've been using on my shiny new iPad Pro). And oh boy, did I hit the jackpot. I found 16 free, downloadable space art brushes that allow me to easily draw a variety of star fields, nebulae, bright stars, etc. So, with just a little playing around, I was able to make this for her. I'm very happy with this first attempt and I'm looking forward to really seeing what I can do with this in the future.

Banana Two, Standing By

And here's the one for my nephew.  He likes Star Wars and monkeys (who doesn't), so of course I had to combine the two...

Day 5 - Walkers Sighted

I've fallen behind on Drawtober because I was working on Pax! Expect to see some quicker, rougher pictures for the next few days (maybe even multiple pics in a single day) as I try to catch up. Here's Day 5, illustrating a scene from a favorite movie in my style. My style apparently is 3D stereo pairs, and if you cross your eyes and merge the images into one, you'll get the effect.

Day 1 - Jestbot 1300

Today's challenge - a medieval robot and its operator! Behold, the Jestbot 1300 - everything you would ever want for your twelfth-century entertainment needs!

Father-Daughter Maps

It's been a while, and when posting this I realized the previous post was the big 800!

Anyway, tonight my youngest and I went to a class at the library about making fantasy maps with Photoshop. It went very well. Here's her map of the land inhabited by her stuffed animal friends:

Not bad! (I helped a little with Strawberry and the Minion, but most of it's all her.)

I did one, too, but ended up going a little overboard with some of the filters and things. I guess I just can't stay away from the space stuff...

Volcanic Alien Landscape 1

Started doodling around tonight on this alien landscape. Obviously it's not done yet, but it's almost midnight so this will have to be a work in progress. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
