The Gunning-Kruger Effect

From Peptuck's "Thaumata." Have had a good bit of fun playing with the setting and taking in some interesting directions.

"When what you need is a hammer…"

Untitled Boat Idea, the result of too much thinking about fishing games and coastal geography. More to come.

Personal work, ended up finding out how quickly I could actually render this out to an acceptable level of finish.

It had been brought to my attention recently that I hadn't been keeping up with my publicly available portraiture. To make up for this, a quick portrait of someone's MechWarrior character. More to come shortly as I attempt to rebuild this part of my portfolio.

Based on a photo of ROK SEALs from @captain-price-unofficially, done primarily with a Pilot Shunpitsu. You can get a lot of rendering done with a brisk smudging with the finger.

Cover for “Wings of the Warriors” by Ultraviolet Combat. Fun to work on, certainly a great distraction given what was going on at the time.

A quick sketch of Gideon, partially to get some fencing pose brainworms out of my system, partially from reading and thinking over the ergonomics of her knuckles, and partially because I’m itching to get my hands on a copy of Nona the Ninth.

Personal work, I wanted to get a basic grasp of a more stylized approach to shading.

Suppose time in service is relative, what might happen with Alyx?

A little unorthodox in places, and very incomplete compared to a proper academic study of the stuff, but I think I came away knowing a fair bit more than I did before this.

I also did a bit of studying-up on anatomy when I didn’t have many places to go.

Commission from just a little while back. Baba Indra of the Bloody Palms.

A bit of a throwback, digging through my old vacation photos and dated accordingly.

As an aside, the Pentalic Aqua can be a little hit and miss on sizing, but they’re an overall great value. You can do the James Gurney thing with gouache if you aren’t able to wipe back colors, but it’s generally not necessary. Until 2020, there wasn’t much in the way of options in the field for 140lb/300gsm books anyway, but the new books from Speedball/Hand Book are promising.

Also as you can tell from the date, this is going to take a turn for the masked pretty shortly.

Trying out an outfit for a SPECWARCOM shooter seconded for work in the Outer Colonies. More later(?)
