Been using Instagram a lot this summer, gonna try and keep the blog up ass well, but Instagram is kinda easier to post - especially just sketches and doodles. Account name is @Jamesbiard

My new jam.

Drawing some new DC Comics-themed Overwatch skins.

Flying wako macaque

Friday night life drawing!

A one-line, a 15 minute and a 30 minute pose from life drawing last night.  Not a good likeness in the face - still rusty - but I felt better this time out and I feel like I got all the proportions pretty bang-on.

Flying Monkeys.

A winged Aye-Aye dragoon from the Napoleonic Wars.

Flying golden snub-nosed monkey with a close combat knife.

WIP of another winged monkey.

Started this guy and I'm posting it to make me do my studio work so that I can finish it.  If that makes sense.

Work before play is fine, but twenty minutes of play can make starting the work easier.  And then you get to play more.

Drawing my character from Fallout 4

Minnutemen General, psychobuff addict and wielding a serrated Chinese officer's sword, my Sole Survivor tends to run into every situation huffing chems and swinging for the fences.

Also she eats the dead.

Luftwaffe Lemur

He has a flame-thrower.

Gonna draw my own army of flying monkeys.

The more I draw, the more I find that specific reference is the best thing ever.  Wanna draw a flying monkey?  Make it a Lion Tamarin WW2-era pilot outfit and Thompson submachine gun. 

Finished for Printing

First time I ever really did some hand-drawn font stuff... not 100% happy with the kerning and whatnot but all I have to do is another dozen or so attempts and I'll figure out how to do them properly.

Couldn't sleep.

Plague Doctor

Line-work for a piece I'm doing for a buddy. Markers to this point, watercolours to come.

Cossack on a corythosaurus.

Self-imposed character design process

Working on a character: a hobbit/halfling innkeeper who is also a badass. Just exploring the idea, did a dozen teeny-tiny thumbnail sketches for poses and twenty-some palm-sized sketches trying out different dress shapes and styles (did not scan everything). Some fancier/richer stuff that looked good but I wanted to do something a simpler / more home-y for her.

Frog fishing

Passing this one off to my buddy to paint.  Been super busy getting back into the teaching swing.
