Here are my latest Dexter samples - one of Jennifer Carpenter as Deborah Morgan and the other of Julie Benz as Rita Morgan. I think I made Deborah's lips a little too big but nailed the eyes. Apart from a little adjustment to the eyes I think I got Rita pretty well spot on.
Here are the commissions for tonight's $10 personal sketch-cards. Both of these are for Chris; he requested one of Christina Lindberg as Frigga / Madeleine / One-Eye from Thriller: They Call Her One-Eye, and one of Devon Aoki as Miho from Sin City.

ANNOUNCING MY NEW WEEKLY ART CAST:
5 for $10 at 10
As of March 12th, 2011, I will be hosting a weekly (potentially bi-weekly) art cast on Ustream at 10pm EST (7pm PST). Hopefully I can keep it consistent on Saturday and/or Sunday nights. Check back on my blog or on my DA page for weekly updates.
BLOG: http://slatermark.blogspot.com
DA: http://sharpiemark.deviantart.com
The next show will be tomorrow night, March 13th, 2011 at 10pm EST (7pm PST)
HOW IT WILL WORK:
- I will have 5 slots open each time and it will be first come first serve. You can reserve multiple slots.
- All cards will be $10 (+$2.50 for postage). Postage is free within Canada.
- As incentive, I will randomly draw the name of one the people I'm doing a card for during the show and they will get a FREE bonus card!
- People can choose their own subject for me to draw - be it a comic book, movie or tv character; historical figure, etc.
- Nothing too complicated: no incredible action poses, these will mostly just be head-shots but they will all be FULL COLOUR!
- The show can be viewed here: http://www.ustream.tv/user/sharpiemark - just click on "Shows & Schedule"
WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY GO!?
All the money I raise from these shows will go directly towards helping me pay for my wedding which will be in August of 2012.
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
If you have any questions or would like to reserve yourself a slot in advance, email me at slatermark33(at)hotmail(dot)com. Subject heading "5 for $10".
THE FIRST CARDS!
Newest Dexter sample sketch-card. I'm actually pretty happy with this one.
Two of my newest sample Dexter cards - John Lithgow as the menacing Arthur Mitchel ("The Trinity Killer"), and David Zayas as Sgt. Angel Batista. I think I'm getting back into the swing of likenesses again - it's a very satisfying feeling. Hope ya digs!
For all you folks who, like my fiancee and I, believe that Valentine's Day is a stupid, commercial-driven holiday designed to sell chocolates, cards and bears nobody really wants, here are two zombies in love. I encourage everyone out there to celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day in much the same way I intend to: pick up some bacon cheeseburgers and watch movies like "Valentine" and "My Bloody Valentine." Enjoy!
Here's an illustration I just finished up this week. I was hired out by a local graphic design company to create an illustration for a major mining company's newsletter. They originally wanted a caveman inserting the latch into the rod, but that later changed into a Regular Joe doing the work with the caveman standing in the background holding the outdated parts. Apparently they thought having a caveman doing the work might be insulting; implying that "even a caveman could do the job." I've included my original concept sketch below.
Here is the coloured version of the base-card that will be included in the
Monsters Freaks & Zombies sketch-card set, coming soon from Cult-Stuff. The good folks at
Cult-Stuff are graciously providing Lance Sawyer and I with some free promotional space for our book, Dreadful - using this image and one of Lance's as base-cards. On the back of each of these cards will be the original Dreadful cover, with all the important information on where to go to order a copy and how to commission us.
