Recent commission and a few self portraits, etc.

Hail all, finally gotten around to this whole blog thing, finally thought it the right time to go ahead with one.
So I've got a few things to start this off with. First is a recent commission, which entails me doing a bit of work for a local Halloween Haunted Woods that a lot of work is going into. I've got one part of it finished, which is the poster used for advertising.



I'm working on 3 other images to be used for this, which I will post here when I have all 3 finished.
But I do have a few self portraits I've done in my spare time to put up here.

One more thing, a personal character design project. My brother got the idea after seeing the 1881 painting by Henri-Paul Motte of Cardinal Richelieu at the Siege of La Rochelle (a print adorns the cover of my sketchbook) and we both thought the Cardinal looked totally badass in his robes AND armor.

So he dug out a leather cuirass we've got around, plus his leather trenchcoat and a few other accouterments, dressed up in it and then a little photoshoot occurred, me taking the pics. Then I decided to look at the pictures and draw a front and back view in Photoshop. The result is the following:






I'll be putting up more stuff soon. Until then, I'll keep drawing.
