I pray to the F1 motoring gods that this car arrives on the grid in 2026 looking like this (with sponsors obvs). It’s absolutely stunning. Well done #audi

A side view of the new Audi F1 R26 concept. The car that will lead to their first dive into F1 proper in 2026. A silver car cut vertically at the engine line with a gloss black and red paint scheme. The Audi rings stand proud in red on the air intact above the drivers head

Messing with watercolours and inks back in 2020. Another older #Xenomorph piece.

Waist to head creature study. A Xenomorph coloured in various red and orange tones. His belly shows the twisting turning signs of his guts. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper, coloured with Inks, edited in Photoshop.

Another golden oldie Xeno. This was originally from 2011 I believe. I re-rendered and edited him a bit over the years. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper. Edited (at the time) in Photoshop.

#xenomorph #xenovember #Alien #drawing #illustration #pencilart #handmade #creatureart #monsters #fanart
A Xenomorph screeches into the void, looking up into the air. A bust, head shoulders and part chest illustration. His body is toned and built for quick movement and agility. The ultimate killing machine.

A piece showing Lord Vader flanked by all his most trusted bounty hunters. Boba Fett, IG88, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckkus and 4LOM. The Millennium Falcon buzzes across the top of them all. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper. All drawn individually and then edited together as one.

From back around 2019/2020. A xenomorph with more of a beak and larger jaws. Inspired in part by the ‘Deacon’ from ‘Prometheus’

#xenomorph #pencilart #inks #painting #Xenovember #monsters #creatureart #Alien #handmade #darkart #Sciart
Portrait of a deep, Cobolt blue skinned Xenomorph. He reaches a long limb out across the page, four articulated fingers at its end. His long, pointed skull steps down at the front to a set of large, closed jaws. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper. Coloured with ink. Edited in Photoshop.

Brilliant analysis from Jamie and Karun. #Oscar was in control of that corner, the lock up was from the movement of Kimi, not because Oscar’s gone too hard into the corner. Unfair decision. It was a racing incident.

More carnage!

I feel #Piastri is going to get a penalty there, but it also could be an insanely good move.

Carnage as only Interlargos can produce. Lewis damaged and to the back, Bortoleto out again. Poor local lad 😬

They went overboard and fell in love with their own legend. When you landfill $30mil of stock, that should have been warning enough that it’s no longer working.

This guy is positively ancient, originally drawn over a decade ago. The way I render has changed since then making for a smoother overall texture. A more grotesque #xenomorph concept.

#xenovember #Alien #conceptart #illustration #monsterart #creaturedesign #handmade #pencilart #graphiteart
A grotesque Xenomorph design. A long, cylindrical skull fronted by a human skulls facial features. Plated, layered bone run along the top. A mouth full of uneven, jagged teeth. 2-4B graphite on paper.

Jeeesus what an impact for #Bortoleto, thankfully he’s ok but his car is dust. A wild finish to the Sprint. Excellent result for #Lando, and solid result for the #Mercs

Bizarre direction for a rolling start. Can’t see why you’d do that with the weather as clear as it is 🤷‍♂️

Damn, well at least it’s not the actual race. The track never disappoints for action, but that’s the worst happening for #Oscar. The track is dicey. 😬

Interesting to see how the #McLarens will do against a wild Antonelli. Interlargos always brings exciting action

Another oldie for today’s Xenovember. A #Xenomorph portrait study/concept from a few years back. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm A3 paper. Edited then in Photoshop.

Xenovember day 4! This was my first Aliens cover, reuniting me with my Defiance Colorist, Dan Jackson. This one’s special for me because not only was it a return to Alien, but it would later be used as booth and lanyard #art at SDCC to represent the brand.
