Jean Gunnhildr

Sometimes I play a game called Genshin Impact. I decided it was time for me to draw my main character, Jean Gunnhildr. This game is done in an anime style, so the Dennis Jones Jean looks pretty different than the Xbox game Jean. Here’s… Continue Reading “Jean Gunnhildr”

Bear With Me

One last “then and now” before I get back to doing real work. I did this illustration back in the ’90’s. I can’t remember now what this bear was supposed to be… he’s wearing some sort of samurai outfit, has a viking braid, a… Continue Reading “Bear With Me”

Nijel The Destroyer

…a figure stepped forward into the pool of light… a tall young man. To say he was lean would be to miss a perfect opportunity to use the word emaciated. He was wearing the traditional garb of a barbarian hero, nothing unusual about that…… Continue Reading “Nijel The Destroyer”

Minsc and Boo

Sometimes a warrior can only trust his faithful hamster who has a brilliant mind and a brave heart.

Elden Ring

My favorite kind of game to play on the Xbox is a third person, open world game where you get to customize a unique character and then wander around aimlessly in a giant world looking for adventure. I just started a new game, spent… Continue Reading “Elden Ring”

2023 Sermon Notes

If you’re an artist and live anywhere near Fort Wayne, Indiana you might want to visit our church. You get a free pen and drawing paper when you walk in the door!!

Ole PumkinHead

So here’s something I think is going to be totally awesome. Rick Cantu is using a picture I did back in 2014 and turning it into a 3-D lighted sculpture. I love it. Ha! The brass tube front legs will be where he runs… Continue Reading “Ole PumkinHead”

Forrester

Bob decided it would probably be a whole lot easier to forage for mushrooms at his local grocery store.

Dewport Guard

I’ve been known to play a game or two on my phone when no one is looking. I’ve also been known to draw the characters in the games that I am playing on my phone when no one is looking. This is Gillie The… Continue Reading “Dewport Guard”

Importing Images Into Procreate

I’m old school when it comes to drawing. I still enjoy using a pencil and paper, but I love to apply color digitally. I’ve been posting 30 second videos on Instagram lately of some quick color sketchbook stuff I’ve been doing with the Procreate… Continue Reading “Importing Images Into Procreate”

Elder Scrolls Online

I play a game called Elder Scrolls Online where I occasionally have to save the world from infestations of dragons, monsters and various other unsavory creatures. One of the things I like about the game is it allows you to construct your own custom… Continue Reading “Elder Scrolls Online”

Painting Ms. Dorothy

I was working on a “LIZARD OF OZ” job and whenever there is high concept involved I have to do a LOT of fast, throwaway sketches to figure things out. Most of these quick ideas never see the light of day… but there was… Continue Reading “Painting Ms. Dorothy”

Coin Flip

I threw a little color onto a referee that was in my sketchbook.

Silver Weasel Warrior 2.0

Back in 2011, my very first post on this blog was my take on Frank Frazetta’s Silver Warrior illustration. A fellow emailed me yesterday and asked if I would make this available for purchase in my ImageKind Shop, so I loaded it up for him. As a… Continue Reading “Silver Weasel Warrior 2.0”

you want me to do WHAT??

I don’t often get asked to do background scenery… well… to put it another way… I have NEVER been asked to do background scenery, so I was pretty nervous when I was tasked with developing six backgrounds for a quirky board game, tight focus, pan through film shot…… Continue Reading “you want me to do WHAT??”
