so far i havent torn out a single page yet, hopefully i wont have to =).

This is a sketch i did for a picture i was asked to make. A band called Ruth Ruth (http://www.ruthruth.com) wanted me to draw them some girls for their site. No money involved though heheh, they sent me their newest album.

and here's the final image. The image they wanted was actually 720x210, but this one is larger cropped version to post on my site.

[sodomizer]

Dude, that mask on page 8 OWNS SO HARD. Awesome detail on that... I'd love to see you do something really morbid with that style.

The fight club sketches are super sick too man, great job! :)
Oh, and almost forgot.. that clown with ink wash is tight too! lol

[Arwar]

thanks for the feedback =)

Main Loop - this is actually my first real commission. Im going into my freshman year of college this fall, and i had to turn down some offers for commissioned work.

Awesome style, delicate shading, lots of eye-catching detail, This is the style I want to emulate <3

Love the Fight Club pics. Hell, I loved all of them but the likeness of the FC characters was dead on. The pic of Ed Norton hugging Meatloaf is great. Before I put two and two together, I thought it looked like John Cusak.
At any rate, Nice work. OOH- I loved the clean look of the chick on top of the robot.
