This was my original sketch for the "Lord of the Rings" topic at Drawer Geeks, but I ran out of time. I decided to finish it because I thought it had promise. This was done with a brush pen and Photoshop. The things I tried to focus on this time were limited palette, and no fancy Photoshop tricks such as blurs or fancy brushes. This was done using the pencil tool and a few gradients. Often times I get caught up trying to add more bells and whistles and really eat away my time.

This week at Drawer Geeks the theme was "Lord of the RIngs". I wanted to take some time and try out a few new techniques to try and speed up the way I do things. I also wanted to focus on value over hue, hence the grayscale. I think I'm going to use the Drawer Geeks topics from now on to try and push new ideas and new ways of doing things, at least for me.

This week at Drawer Geeks the topic was "Rednecks". For some reason, this was the first thing that popped into my head. More of a "red necks". I know, I know... Rednecks are obvious. I think I have too much giant monster on the brain or something.

I did a pinup for the book "Aqua Leung", coming out later this year by Mark Andrew Smith and Paul Maybury. The short story in Popgun Vol. 1 was awesome, so I had to take a crack at drawing the character. Inked in Illustrator, coloured in Photoshop. Enjoy!
