First, my submission for the theme. Next, a whole lot of poop.
Long time no-post. I've been busy working, so I can't complain. Now that I have a bit of free time, I'm working at a blog redesign and a set of marketing collateral that will reflect those changes. This first illustration is a direct result of those efforts; it's me, puking, and it'll be the information side of my business cards. The pertinence of my puke will not be understood until my blog relaunches. So, yeah, you probably shouldn't pay it a second thought.
The second illustration is one of about twenty similar illustrations I've been working on for a stock art set to be sold at a fine stock art location near you soon. Or so the plan goes. It's a monstrous beast; everything in the set is. All sea creatures. Moving on.
And, lastly, here's a quick portrait of a friend done during the wee hours while waiting for another friend to make his way through traffic. He was late by about forty five minutes, so I'm assuming this took about that long to create.
As always, check out my blog, watch me draw on YouTube, or feel free to contact me if your curious about my process. I like to talk about myself. And it's one of my more endearing qualities.

Terrific stuff!!
I love the linework! Especially the B&W (can't wait to see the rest of the set). Are you doing your linework in Painter? I've been trying to get a similar feathering effect with some of the Pens brushes, but so far I can't quite get them as uniform as I'd like without looking stiff (tried the record stroke thing with a bunch of stroked paths, but it just feels wrong). Any tips?
You can get a similar effect by modifying the variable round oil brush in Painter with the following settings (except for size, which should be much higher than this screen grab).
