Hi Everyone,

This week is kind of a quickie. Silver Surfer is awesome!

That is all,
Rich

Hello internet people,

It’s 2010! Yesterday was national hangover day, which should explain why this post is a day late.

A thought occurred to me while going through my old posts the other day. I realized that I have a strange lack of some very recognizable and popular characters that I grew up with. This month I vow to remedy that, starting with big blue himself.

See ya next friday,
Rich

Hello Everyone,

I’m posting my Illustration early this week because I don’t plan on being around my computer on friday. This week we celebrate Christmas with Kurt Wagner aka. Nightcrawler. I hope all of you have a happy and safe holiday. I’ll be uploading this to my etsy store a little later today.

I’m sure the tree will smell wonderful after that cloud of sulfur gas settles down.

Yay it’s friday!

This one goes out to everyone celebrating the festival of lights, or anyone who has a thing for teenage girls with pet dragons.

As a for even more awesomeness I have updated my etsystore with the original pieces from last week and this week! I hope you all check it out.

Happy Holidays to all of you. I’ll have more festive fun for you next time!

Hey Internet friends,

Today is friday, which means it is the official day of the week in which I update my artblog with a new illustration. I may be able to update more than once a week at times, but I will always have a sketch for you every friday.

This weeks it’s Colossus!

See ya next Friday!

Hello everyone in internet lands,

After a long break I am finally relaunching my Artblog! I have also created a new handy dandy Etsy Store
( http://www.etsy.com/shop/RichEllis ) to sell the originals for many of the illustrations you will see here. I will be updating at least every friday, but this week I will be gracing you twice.

So without any more silly chatter, I will present you all with a watercolor illustration I did to give the Art blog a proper relaunch. Hope you all enjoy it, and I’ll see you all again on friday!

Hey Everyone,

  Since saturday is Valentine’s day I thought it would be a good time for some cheesecake! Hope you guys aren’t on a diet. Have a good weekend everyone!

Happy Friday Internet,

  Oh… My… God… It’s an actual SKETCH!!!  That’s right, this week I decided to stop myself at a point where a normal person might loosely be able to call this a sketch.(*Guilty Pause*)  Ok fine, it’s finished pencils for an illustration.  I’ve had multiple comments from my friends at the studio about the subjective “sketchiness” of the illustrations I often do for the blog. *Cough* *Cough* Colleen Coover * Cough* * Cough*  My philosophy when starting this blog was mostly that these were to be illustrations or drawings I do for myself or about projects and things I enjoy.  If I often go overboard, it is out of pure enjoyment.

This week however I decided it might be nice to show my art in a slightly less finished form.  The subject matter this week is about as nerdy as it gets. A couple months ago I  retired a D&D character of mine, due to my DM having to move to the midwest. This week, I decided that I would do a final sketch of  him as a sort of send off. So… this image is how I would imagine he would want to be remembered. Looking manly with a big sword… and magic… and a cool set of armor… oh yeah and some scantily clad damsels in distress.(Right about now is the part where I  cringe as the world screams NERD!!! in unison.) 

Aiden Harlock Fighter 1/ Warmage 8… We hardly knew ye…

P.S. If you would like to check out more illustrations and character drawings from that game you can check out THIS BLOG. The upshot to gaming with a bunch of cartoonists is that you get some nice Geeky fan art.

Till Next week

Hey Internet land,

  This week I decided to switch up my method a bit and do a watercolor illustration. The subject matter came from The Terry Pratchett novels having to do with the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Specifically I’m giving you my mental images of Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson, and Sergeant Delphine Angua von Uberwald. Like a lot of cartoonists I know, I am constantly listening to books on tape while I work. More often than not lately, it’s been a Discworld novel I’m listening to. I really enjoy Pratchett’s sense of satire and following the progression of his characters. I can’t readily think of any other writer who could handle  literally  an entire universe full of  characters with interdependent story-lines without having it all go completely wahoony shaped. 

See you next Friday-
