Morgan


Just a quick Photoshop sketch. Morgan (from DARK STALKERS video game) Inspired when Skyping with a friend - who was also painting said character. I'll probably be doing more of these. Photoshop color sketches.

Remembering our Veterans


Just wanted to post a THANK YOU to all of our U.S. Veterans, for their dedicated service for our country, families and friends! Having both grandfathers serve in WWII and a father and uncles in the Army during Vietnam, I GREATLY appreciate the men and women in our armed forces, bravely dedicated to serving the greatest country on God's green earth.

Thank you!
