Recent #xmen sample pages I drew that for me a portfolio review at LA Comic Con with Marvel Associate Editor last month! I felt the portfolio review went really well and got a lot of positive feedback on these pages. @rickeypurdin.bsky.social #xmencomics #xmen97 #marvel #marvelcomics

I was doing some figure drawing and anatomy practice the other night, when I decided to turn one of the sketches into more of a character design #tekken #muaythai #streetfighter #manga #anime #videogame #martialarts

The final scene of NinjaWitch Issue 5, a broken and bloodied Bozgoth is given a new identity and armor turning him into a new villain. I wanted this to be a homage to the Darth Vader scene in episode 3, but I wanted it more gruesomely medical feeling with old school steampunk equipment #comics

The conclusion of the battle in NinjaWitch Issue 5. I wanted the scene to look big and the destruction widespread with the power of NinjaWitch. Piles and bones everywhere left over from her powers destroying all the demons.Colors @nickcaponiart.bsky.social #comic #comicbooks

More pages from NinjaWitch Issue 5, after the double page spread and the demons are piling up on NinjaWitch. These pages took a lot of planning and a ton of characters to handle #comics #comicbooks #comicbookartist #ninja #magic

Here is the double page spread for NinjaWitch issue 5 with the final colors as well .I wanted to summoned demon hoard to feel huge and overwhelming since I could span it over two full pages. Colors by @nickcaponiart.bsky.social #comics #comicbook #comicbookpage #magic #fantasy

Issue 5 of NinjaWitch has a huge fight scene at the end of it that’s really punchy and a ton of magic and demons ! The first few pages I drew the transformation for the main villain into his true form Bozgoth.He summons a couple of hellhounds to attack NinjaWitch . #comicbook #comics #fantasy

This is the first page from NinjaWitch Issue 5, since this is the opnening scene and showcased magic I wanted it to have a lot of motion for the conjuring for the spiders. I felt it was going to bring the reader in to the story with a solid first page with a bunch of different camera angles #comics

Bigfoot is real, and he’s running from a ‘cryptid’. In Another Dimension a hiker stumbles through a portal into a fuzzy dimension & becomes the stuff of Bigfoot nightmares.

Story by Erik Allen, art by @jkatzstudio.bsky.social, it’s a part of Sightings: A Bigfoot Comic Anthology. On Kickstarter 9/9!

One of the two covers I drew for the up coming Roy Beckwith series has been posted! I wanted to try something different with this cover and draw two characters fighting instead of facing forward towards the reader. #comics #comicbooks #wildwest #cowboy #comicbookcovers #comicbooksrt

Here are my two favorite pages from Hammer of the Gods. It was amazing to draw a full splash page and then a huge double page spread battle scene right after . I really wanted to make the pages big and impactful and go full tilt #comicbooks
