I’ve been doing a lot of commission work lately (have just sent off some images to Goodman Games for the DCC RPG and to also a bunch of images were just sent to kiltedyaksman who is currently authoring his own mega-dungeon project, plus some other stuff on the workbench at present), so it is fun to get do do my own thing, too, when I have the time. To be busy is good; to be really busy and inspired is better!
Between drawings for clients, I’ve been working on some drawings of gods/demons, inspired by the sacred/profane stuff from medieval art, Asian art and elsewhere that I like so much. I’m also trying to polish my pen-technique and have more fun with the line work. This one is pen and ink and, for now, I call it “Death God.” Pynchon had some interesting things to say about shit and death in “Gravity’s Rainbow,” if you haven’t read that massive book yet, pick it up — although you probably won’t thank me for the recommendation. That book sometimes felt like a punch in the brain while I was reading it — plus it is also really fucking long.
In my ‘drawing a day’ notebook, I drew a “hell god” today as well. Yeah, you can see his dong; so what?
