Luxura Sketch Card Samples

I guess I can post these now.  I sent these in for a new sketch card set. 

Process of the Joker sketch card

It took some pics of the card as I was making it, not as many as I wanted, as I drew, I forgot to stop and take a picture.  But you get the idea of the process of pencils and colors and then finishing the colors.  I hope you like it.

LotR Sketchcard - Gothmog (ole Pussface)

Ole pussface himself, gothmog.  Not afraid of anything.

30 Days of Halloween - Day 2

A suggestion from a Facebook friend.  Jack Skellington taking a nice crunchy bite out of a Christmas ornament.  I like Jack, I will probaby do more of him.  I got some other suggestions, I will have to think about how to do them, some of them are kinda "out there"  LOL.

Sketch Card trading - Oran Parker

I got a note from another sketchcard artist named Oran Parker, (Check out his site http://www.oranparker.com/ ) who wanted to know if I would trade cards with him.  After checking out his stuff, I said Yes right away.  He requested Beta-Ray Bill, Abe Lincoln and Hawkman.  None of which I had any experience with, but I thought this would be a great deal.  I had a bunch of things going on travel-wise (see Korea blog-post) so I wasn't able to get to them finished right away.  I saw the cards he did (see his blog post about the trade) and I knew I was going to need to up my game.  Anyway.  I did one of Abe Lincoln "Vampire Slayer", A raging Bill, and Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl.  I did the Lincoln on tan card stock to give it a vintage feel.  I wanted the Hawkman to still feel Golden-Agey so I tried to do it in that style.  I just wanted Bill to look as pissed off as I could.  I did an earlier one, that I will post later, but in the pencils stage, I creased it doing some erasing and so I had to start over again.  I actually did another Abe, but I didn't like the feeling, so I redid it and I think this one is much much better.  I hope he likes them!

A couple of new Sketch Cards - Iron Man and Clone Trooper

 

A couple of new Sketch Cards I did recently.  Mandalorian-Style Helmet of "Captain Rex".  And an Iron Man head shot from Comic Con.  These are available for sale, contact me.

Watto and Qui-Gon

 

This is a sketch I did the other day, I am trying to get better with the Copic markers I have.  I was getting really frustrated with the piece in the middle of laying down the colors, I was just adding color after color and I thought I was really getting away from the look of Watto.  But I stuck with it and I think Watto and Qui-Gon came out a lot better than I expected.  I love surprising myself.  What really got it going for me was laying down the inks afterward.  I started with the jacket and the inks really made it pop.

Battle of the Darth Sketchcards!

 

These are two more Copic Marker sketchcards, Darth Vader (episodes 4-6) and Darth Maul (episode 1).  

Clone Trooper Sketchcard

This is a sketchcard of a clonetrooper helmet from the Star Wars prequels.  I used Copic markers, I am still trying to get used to them.  I never have been great with color, but I wanted this to be a bright piece and I think I got that.

More sketchy-cardy goodness

Star Wars Clone Wars, newest baddie, Cad Bane!  Using Copic Markers.

I am still trying to find a white marker that is heavy and keeps its brightness.  Suggestions??
