Happy Monster Couple

From the very first moment he met her, he was transfixed by her single, languid eye. She was attracted to his short stature and large, silky-smooth eye lens coverings. Even though he finds it tickles too much, he lets her slowly drag her wet suckers across his eye lens coverings because it relaxes her so. She puts up with the fact he wears a shirt and tie even on the weekends. In return, he doesn’t bemoan the fact that she has to go on solitary egg-laying missions every three hundred and three years.

They are the perfect happy monster couple

Gas Mask 1 - W.I.P.

I'm calling this half finished so I'm going to throw a 'work in progress' onto the blog seeing as I haven't had a chance to post anything for a few weeks.
This is the first digital painting that I'm actually 'painting' as opposed to digitally 'tinting' a grey-scale drawing so I'm learning a lot with this piece.
I should [hopefully] finish it before the end of the year, the signature is already a year out of date (thinking about it, I'll paint a new signature over the top!)

Found a couple of Sketches

I was sorting through a pile of part-used pads of paper and found a couple of sketches from 2009 that I'd forgotten I did. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the sheet of creature sketches but not so happy to be reminded about my early struggles with marker pens.
I still haven't got near to mastering the marker pens. That medium is on the back burner for now.

Cycle Of Greed

I haven't done a lot of sketching over the last month or so. So this is a warm up piece to keep the 'pencil rust' at bay.
The message isn't very subtle but isn't a comment on anyone or any area of my life in particular. It could even be my subconscious warning me about my own greedy thoughts.

Wheeled Droid

Here is a bit of a return to more proper sketching, where I don't try and render the whole image.
More of a standard sci-fi theme as well. A wheeled droid having it's curiosity piqued by a ladybug.
