I loved working on this. Next up is a horror/villains piece in this style

New artwork alert. I've been wanting to draw a Gremlins piece for ages, and finally have. This took a couple of weeks and is drawn on A3 Bristol board paper. Really enjoyed working on this. I will be getting prints ready for Comic con Wales in 2 weeks.

I drew this Terminator skull on the weekend. Quite pleased with how it turned out.

10/07/2023

Batman montage from all individually drawn Pieces. Not overly convinced by the background. So will probably change that, so this won't be the final version but I wanted to upload anyway.

10/07/2023

I tried creating a Batman montage from all my Batman drawings. I'm not overly convinced with the background. So I will alter this and change a few things, but just wanted to upload this version anyway.

Here come the Men in Black, Galaxy defenders!! Really pleased with how this one turned out.

Getting some artwork ready for print. Here is a drawing of Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly.

30/06/2023

Just watched the new Indiana Jones movie and I thought it was fitting end to a mostly incredible film series. Indy will always be my favourite movie character and I thought Dial of Destiny was a fitting ending for his character.

Having completed drawings of all the Doctors individually, I've tried to do a montage of them all on photoshop. I've done a couple of designs, but I plan on doing more versions of this. Doctor Who

While nowhere near finished as I plan to draw all doctors, the TARDIS and a few villains, but as I had finished the five modern doctors I thought id have a go at this. All five drs were drawn separately then added to Photoshop. The background was created using many Photoshop brushes and effects to create a kind of time vortex.really pleased with how it turned out so I can't wait to get all the other drawings done. With Doctor Who everyone has different preferences and favourites. Some love the new some love the old, some love both. So I now plan different versions of these when everything is finished.

Doctor who project update. More Doctors done plus a couple of monsters. Still a fair way to go.

Photos from Asylum Artz's post 11/05/2023

Current project is a big Doctor who piece. I plan on drawing every Doctor individually as well as a selection of monsters, aliens and villains and putting them together in a montage on Photoshop. Long way to go on this one, but I've started on other doctors and aliens. Hopefully it will turn out good. Doctor Who
