Dia De Los Muertos

A sugar skull inspired card drawn on "The Day of the Dead".

A tassie devil card drawn while I was in Tasmania - continuing my "animals in top hats" series I guess.

Haven't been drawing much in the last few months but have managed to finish these cards that I'd pencilled a while ago.

A couple of machine angels

Another Dex-Starr and a Mythos beastie

Lovecraft

It was HP Lovecrafts birthday this weekend so here is a Lovecraft trading card (didn't get time to colour it but I probably will eventually)

Some more trading cards
B'dg the squirrel green lantern,
G'nort (I keep hoping he will be in the Green Lantern movie but I'm not holding my breath - BTW don't really understand why they are sniffy about humans joining the lantern corps when they let squirrels, dogs and cats in!)
Magneto drawn after I saw X-men:First class again
Random doodle card
Lego hell
The Fifth Doctor (was going to be a fourth doctor card for JB but I couldn't get a likeness so ended up doing a couple of Peter Davidson sketches)

The Dapper Dr Zoidberg

Every time the Rubbery men are mentioned in "Echo Bazaar", I get this mental image of Dr Zoidberg from Futurama wearing a top hat.

Krypto

Krypto - watercolour pencil and inks

I found to my surprise that I didn't actually own any watercolour pencils (think I might have given them to Mum who likes watercolour painting), so when I got called in to do an extra shift at work, I treated myself to a set of them as compensation.

Again with the Kittehs...

Dex-Starr the rage-vomiting, red lantern cat...

Cthulhu

Streaky the supercat #2

Found this tiny easel at the art store for a few dollars - it's exactly the right size for the cards.

Trading cards again...

Streaky the Supercat (any resemblence to any other cat purely coincidental)
(coloured pencils, ink and copic marker)

Insect Queen - did a few "Harry Clarke" inspired cards - I usually just keep drawing random patterns until I get something I like. (coloured pencil, ink and metallic gel pen)

Mr Growler - card for Nik (coloured pencil, copics and white ink gel pen)

Drawing Day - Superpets

Drawing day was a bit of a write off as I was just too tired to give it a decent effort - however I did make a start on my Superpets series - only finished Ace but did a couple of other sketches.I was most excited that Ace was on a recent episode of "Batman Brave and the Bold" - also Amanda Connor draws the best superpets ever...
