Done, and easily the best thing I’ve drawn this year. ‘Predator’, portrait in 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper.

A predator states back at you, his mandibles twitch as he snarls. One eye is milky and scared from a previous conflict. His dreads flow down his shoulders. Black and white.

‘The Boy and the Heron’

A little piece I’ve been chipping away at for a few months. A personal piece, a homage to a beautiful, engrossing Ghibli animation.

I work almost exclusively on ampersand claybords. I use graphite powder, and pencil on the claybords. My art is very stylistic. 🖤🤍

This guy is positively ancient, originally drawn over a decade ago. The way I render has changed since then making for a smoother overall texture. A more grotesque #xenomorph concept.

The Ronin. My first big piece of 2026.

My time with #GhostsofYotei inspired me to have a go bringing my own Japanese warrior character to life. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper. Edited in ‘Photopea.

#illustration #characterdesign #conceptart #Pencilart #handmade #graphiteart #Traditioanlart ✏️
A warrior, a Ronin. He stands amongst the bamboo thicket. Holding his bare Katana to his chest. He listens to the wind moving through the grass around him. Petals of nearby flowers swirl around him. His robes flow from his shoulders, his mask and hat, battered and beaten from war, hide a face that’s seen many a conflict.

It’s #Tolktober day.27 - Darkness

I went in my own direction for today, designing a Nazgûl that fits the title of ‘darkness’ in the world of #Tolkien. Prompt brought to us by Elliot Wells and Harvey J Harrison (Instagram).

A hooded figure, only his lower jaw is catching any light under his hood. A iron crown of spikes rise from his head, through his hood. In the centre of his unknown face sits the one ring. The one item that has brought so much madness and terror. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper.
