Lara Croft Sketches

A couple of old Lara Croft sketches.

Z is for Ziyi Zhang

The last of my female celebrity A-Z - Ziyi Zhang (or Zhang Ziyi).

Also the possible first in a series of alliterative actresses, which I might do.

W is for Weisz, X is for Madame X, Y is for Yeoh

The next female celebrities, containing a bit of a cheat - Madame X is a copy of John Singer Sargent's famous painting of the same name.

Rachel Weisz; Madame X; Michelle Yeoh




Also included here are a second quick sketch of Rachel Weisz, adapted from reference for the movie "The Fountain"; and a sketch of her co-star in that movie, Hugh Jackman.

T is for Tomei, U is for Union, V is for Varma

The next three in the female celebrity A-Z

Marisa Tomei; Gabrielle Union; Indira Varma

Your Name Here

A 40s style pinup I did for inclusion in a book "Eye Candy from Strangers" - I reworked an older piece that had done a few years ago. There are some bits I prefer about the original, but I'm pretty happy with the new version.

Old; New

K is for Kim, L is for Lima, M is for Mendes

The next three in my A-Z of female celebrities

Yunjin Kim; Adriana Lima; Eva Mendes

Cobb

I was looking through some old stuff, and came across this - a pinup of the character Cobb, from Adam Cogan and Ryan Cody's "Villains" comicbook. I think it was included in an issue of the series.

The original rough sketch:



A couple of progress shots:



The finished article:



Looking at it now, the forced perspective I tried doesn't work as well as I intended, and his left hand isn't very good. I still really like his evil grin, though, particularly since I didn't use any reference

Sorrow

Another collaboration for the back cover to Sorrow issue 2 from Image Comics.

The original sketch was by series' artist Francesco Francavilla, and I then turned it into a painting.

Come Sin With Me

A collaboration between myself and artist Daryl Walker. Daryl wanted me to turn an ink drawing of his into a fauz Pulp/Crime Novel cover.

Original inks; Colours; Final with "aging"

Wolverine redux

A reworked version of the Wolverine picture I did about a year or so ago, which I tightened up for inclusion in Imagine FX magazine.

H is for Hayek, I is for Imbruglia, J is for Johansson

The next three from my A-Z of female celebrities.

Salma Hayek; Natalie Imbruglia; Scarlett Johansson

300

Some paintings (of variable time spent and quality) inspired by Frank Miller's 300 graphic novel, and the movie based on same:

Ephialetes; King Leonidas and some Spartans; a random Spartan warrior; a painting based on an actual statue of Leonidas; more Spartans; one of the Immortals; Gerard Butler as Leonidas in the movie; Leonidas' final defiant moments




The one I spent the most time on, however, was a portrait of Lena Heady as Queen Gorgo (some steps are shown):
