Wow... It's been a while since I last posted. Mainly because drawing my webcomic in colour is so time-consuming.
Anyway, I've generally been levelling up with my art skills so here's my take on the latest Illustration Friday topic - propagate. My first thought was seeds and that let to pollen and I just had to work in some microscopic imagery in the end.

Merry Christmas from the DAMbots
It's Christmas time so here is a picture showing how the DAMbots probably celebrate Christmas.
This is a double celebration as the DAMbots were conceived 2 years ago. And if you look here you can find the first ever image I publicly revealed of them, also a Christmassy picture. Looking back, I definitely think I've matured a lot with my art style as well as my vision for the microscropic robots.
Here's to another 2 years...

Just playing around with some microscopic imagery. This time, some bacteria being attacked by menacing microbots.

Ballistik blasts up your insides.
Greetings from Montreal! I've been here a couple of days and loving it already.
Anyway, here's another attempt at digitally painting in colour. This time featuring Ballistik from the DAMbots.

100 posts!
Wow... finally reached the 100 blog posts milestone.
To mark this ceremonious occasion, a parade (of ants) will march past my house. I've also drawn this little painting showing some biological warfare going on inside the body.

electron microscopic DAMbots
I used the same background for virus and added some other bits here and there to see what it would look like. Not enough contrast to make it work, though.

Slightly more contagious
Following on from my previous attempt for Illustration Friday, here's a new experiment in drawing fake electron microscope images. The painting is of the T4 virus, which apparently feeds on ecoli bacteria, or something like that. I just love its other-worldly look, which shows that the microscopic world is far stranger than anything we would ever find in our own.

Illustration Friday - Contagious
Sorry about the really really long delay between posts yet again. I do have a valid excuse this time, which is that I've been prepping for a move to a games company all the way over in Montreal! This does mean future posts might be a bit thin on the ground for a while but I'll do my best to keep going...
Anyhoo, here is my take on the latest Illustration Friday topic - Contagious. Fortunately this fits in well with the kind of thing I draw regularly for my webcomic. This time I decided to explore drawing in a new way, trying to emulate the style of electron microscopic imaging, which almost works. I'm a big fan of the technique as everything ends up looking like an alien planet.
So do you like this? If you do I might draw some more, but to do that let's set a target of, say, 10 or more comments this time - if I break the magic double figure comment threshold I'll draw another pic like this perhaps. Your call...
