Internet Curmudgeon and generally a bit of a shambles of a human being.

Looks like I'm getting an influx of new followers. Hi all!
Introduction time. I'm Lee ex VFX artist and animator. Formerly worked at Cartoon Network and on shows like Clone Wars, Gumball, Walking Dead, Luther and Lucifer to name a few. Nowadays I just do art for fun and to chill out.

Afternoon all, took a break from drawing after Xenovember and margarita alcohol poisoning on Monday night 🤣

But here’s a Penguin sketch based on reference maquette on a Facebook daily drawing group.

#art #character #penguin #batman #sketchbook #pencilart #drawing #copic #bskyart #fanart
A pencil and marker pen sketch of Chester Cobblepot aka The Penguin from DC Comics Batman series. The character is highly stylised to look like an anthropomorphic emperor penguin in human form. Wearing a lavish top hat, monocle, fur lined coat, bow tie and waistcoat. The characters nose is long, thin and comically oversized to imply a penguin beak. While the head is squashed and wide nestled in rolls of neck fat

Day 2 of #dreadcember and I clearly hate drawing noses :D #darkart #timelapse in the reply
A melty faced zombie lady portrait. One eye staring into the camera, mouth and lower lip dropping. Framed in long hair

Since it suits the season, here's one of my favorite Animal Crossing illustrations I've done! Making a snowman is...not easy ☃️🔪
It's also available as a print: www.inprnt.com/gallery/arom...
#art #fanart #animalcrossing ##どうぶつの森
Fan art illustration of the Animal Crossing video game. In a snowy area, a character dressed in festive red and white clothing looks up at a series of badly-proportioned snowmen. The one closest to her has an angry tick mark on the side of its head.

I love margaritas. And retro music concerts …

My hangover is going to be epic tomorrow

I’d also like to, in advance, apologise for any Blue Sky messages (I’m not calling them skeets ever!) after this point as I have currently drunk nearly two pints worth of Margarita cocktails

I think the last time I was at Wembley Arena, Wet Wet Wet were at number one

It’s funny how life rubber bands back with a snap after the kids move out to go to university.

You find me and the wife in Wembley arena about to party like it’s 1987

More creature commission work.

This spider guy was actually an unwanted design for a previous commission that ended up being perfect for a different piece of work. Moral of the story, don’t throw work away, it all has its place.

#creaturedesign #pencilart #commissions #sciart #monster 🕷️
A massive spider-like creature. Lower half a familiar spider form with 8 legs, large abdomen and four digit claws. The top half a more human form, with a further two arms, overlapping scales across the body and an insect like face with mandibles and large eyes. Pencil on paper.

Morning all, I'm not the most festive of people at the best of times. But after several radio stations have clearly lost their collective minds and gone full Christmas songs back to back, I've gone from mild grinch to being mentally capable of cheerfully drop kicking an Elf in the face.

The final piece for Xenovember! 30 days of the #xenomorph, and to celebrate, I figured I'd round it out with something I've never really given proper dues to...

Last day of #xenovember! I got 2 images because I was dissatisfied with the original after completing it, so the final image is at right, original to left.
TY to @superactionfunboy.bsky.social , @spidersamurai.bsky.social , and @cartoonbeardy.bsky.social for their month long inspiration! #darkart

So I finished a month long art challenge, ordered one of my last Christmas presents, did some tidying up, and will “celebrate” all of this by…

Happy day 30 of #xenovember ! Last day! And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my piece isn’t done! 😂 here’s some of my rejects to tide ya over while I get to finishing this thing :)
A loose, cartoonish rendition of the big chap. Goofy smile, Igor like standing pose An ink drawing in a tiny sketch book. Head and shoulders of an alien. Highly interpretative with huge, roundish head A colorful painting of the Space Jockeys head Another weird deacon variation. Pointy head, eyeless, skullish features

#Xenovember Day 30 Challenge Done - the month comes to a close so I went old school working from reference. Lambert is about to get some unwanted attention.

#Art #DarkArt #Alien #Xenomorph #Film #HRGiger #Horror #HorrorArt #ArtChallenge
A digital painting of a scene from the movie Alien. The titular creature stands on the left of the screen mainly in shadow, looking to the right. Parts of its biomechanical skeleton is highlighted by strong light which intensifies the shadows making the creature’s features hard to define
