Original title, no? Anyway, long time lurker and so on. This is my little spot on the PA forum where I will post random illustrations. Some that are just practice/for fun, some that are for ongoing projects. I am entirely open to constructive criticism. There's always something new to lean. Here we go!
The Hulk - A for-fun/practice image. Tried some different coloring ideas in this one.
This was a quick portrait for my most recent D&D characters. He was a humanoid triceratops pirate. He didn't even survive the first adventure. Oh, well.
This was for Illustration Friday. It was a quick turnaround as I'm trying to increase my speed (I am a sloooowww illustrator. Ugh.)

What are your goals? Who are your influences? Is there anything you know you want to work on, skill wise?
My influences are a lot of comic artists (Kirby, Toth, Carl Barks, Don Rosa) and other cartoonists like Maurice Sendak and Edward Gorey. I've been trying to expand my art studies though.
As far as things I want to work on: I hate the way my coloring looks. I don't know what it is that I don't like but it just bugs me. I also need to work on getting things to be less stagnant. I want to increase the dynamics and excitement, y'know?
American Werewolf in London - This is the first thing I've inked by hand in probably a decade. I'm using Inktober to improve my speed so I'm only giving myself an hour to do these.
This is a small piece of a bigger picture. I'll post the rest as I go. Dungeon scene with a kid hero fighting this beholder.
After a Kirby corner on an old X-Men Comic
Quick post-it sketches of two guys I saw at the bar on Thanksgiving. Yes, I carry post-its with me. Yes, I spent Thanksgiving at the bar.
This is a D&D guy from probably 5 years ago. Still looks kinda cool, to me anyway.
No, seriously, I need it! It's a major award.
I've been messing with pixel animation a bit. It's nothing major, just a guy based on the Megaman run cycle. I've never done anything like this before so it was fun. I've linked it so as to not anger the image size gods.

I think that your stuff is a bit goopy in places, and would benefit from a little more balance between hard edges and the curves you like.
This was me goofing around during a bad case of artist's block.
This was a weird little "for fun" comic based on an event that happened to me at a bar. They're anthropomorphic because I felt like drawing animal guys. I still don't know why she tried to give me golfballs so forcefully.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Here's some new stuff. The dragon was a warm-up piece but I like 'im. The mascots were a piece a did for the Pittsburgh City Paper.
These were all warm up drawings. A couple are more "complete" than others. The dragon I might finish out to have printed on baby clothes. Babies need geek stuff too, right? I did a quick portrait of Marc Maron while listening to his podcast.
I like the last one too, though I'm having a little trouble interpreting if his eye is open or closed?
