Sketchbook: Amelia Shadows, the not kids version

For some reason I had the urge to draw the original adult version of Amelia this morning, so... you know... here you go!

Hahaha! Yeah, I forgot about the musician! If you get the urge, his book The Marquis, is amazing. Utterly unsurprising he's become Del Toro's go-to.

Love this! That face has a bit of a Guy Davis vibe which I dig, too!

The making of is way more interesting than the final product...

Bit late today, but feeling absolutely rat-shit and been sleeping most of the day.

Xenovember day 18! Queens are rad to draw. They don't make a tonne of sense to me, but they're rad, and still one of the best special effects put to screen.

Xenovember day 17!

Resurrection is... not great. Love the idea. Don't love the execution. Romulus is essentially a more "ALIEN" Resurrection and I love it because of that, but I do admire the swings Resurrection took. Like this ugly thing.

Xenovember Day 16 (I think - I dunno, sleep and time have become an abstract concept to me now).

This was the second cover I did for @darkhorse.com's #Aliens : Resistance, once again with #color #art by Dan Jackson.

Been loving these, man! Totally stole Xenovember from you (because it's the only thing I have enough art of to post while I'm drawing other things I can't post...), so thank you for that, too!

'Beneath the Tress Where Nobody Sees' is Patrick Horvath's gruesome graphic novel NPR's Ayesha Rascoe asks author and illustrator Patrick Horvath about "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees," his graphic novel about an ursine serial killer.

I had the huge honor of doing an interview with NPR Weekend Edition Sunday’s Ayesha Rascoe!!!

Xenovember Day 15! Had some pretty great news from editors over the weekend (will share when I can) and I'm on a roll on Event Horizon #5, so I'm keeping this one brief!

This is one of my favourite panels from Aliens: Defiance #6 (I think). More at the link below:

MULTI ONLY!

Fucking WHAT? And five hours long isn't... Yeah. I loved the writing in Cold War, Advanced Warfare, even Infinite, but they were involved. The core Woods/Mason was wavering on me the more 2 went on, but at least it was lengthy and still well written.

For fuck's sake... Mind you, christ knows how many games are using generated textures these days, too, but that's a whole other thing.

Guys, I'm like... one of the eight dipshits that actually likes playing CoD games for the campaign (I've NEVER fucking played the multi). What's the word on the BLOPS 7 story? Or should I just line up BLOPS 6 which I haven't played yet(because I dug Cold War)?
