BRENDAN MCKERNAN

Hi tumblr people! I started a twitter for my art and musings! You can catch me at @Brendonomicon - I just posted this Trigun fanart and will have a lot more going up! You can win a fabulous No-Prize for becoming one of my very first followers!

The beginning stages of possibly the most ambitious pieces I've done. Going big!

This is my first foray into Clip Studio Paint - drove myself a little nuts with the screen tones. Otherwise it’s really intuitive and great for drawing and inking directly on a tablet - this was done on a Surface Book 2. It was surprisingly cheap too. 

Tifa! Tried a new process on this one - will post steps.

Fell off the radar for a bit but I have a bunch of art stuff I'm working on. Here are some lineart desk shots - all done on the Surface Book 2.

We are Venom!

“I can do this all day.”

A few more fantasy portrait commissions - some original characters of @xphantoms!

Psylocke portrait commission for @wickedhellion! Message me or email bemckernan@gmail(dot)com if you want one!

I just realized I never posted this - it’s my first ever published 1-page comic, done for Washington DC’s Magic Bullet comics newspaper. I’ve always been fascinated by airplanes and WWII aviation, so this was a joy to draw. Maybe someday I’ll turn it into something longer...

Phoenix commission for @certainmuse! Tried to “MCU-ify” her outfit a bit.

My take on Ela!

Everyone’s favorite rough-and-tumble southern belle and card-slinging ragin’ cajun! They’ve got a new book out that brings the magic. Us old-timers (90's kids...hah) have been ‘shipping’ these two since before ‘shipping’ was a thing.

Hey! Thanks for checking out my stuff! I have considered prints in the past but haven’t looked too far into the legal gray area that fanart prints reside in. I think this year I may set up an Etsy shop for prints --- maybe when the Kylo companion piece to that one comes out (working on it)! So definitely keep an eye out.
