Hello new followers! I’m shocked by the quickness, but thankful you’re here to see my work.

This is HERMIT, my favorite painting.

A digital painting from the inside of a monster’s mouth. Angel, clad in nothing but gilded wings, attempts to free an old broken man from the inside of the maw. Teeth, tendrils, and pincers overlap, with fleeing pidgeons.

Lil video timelapse of the Dan Ketch painting I did. I try to build the values in an underpainting so I roughly know where everything is going to sit before adding details and colors.

I made an inspirational greeting card with a spinning Ken Masters. So to all those frustrated out there: "Don't give up because I am... Shoryuken do it!"

Dan Ketch Ghost Rider, on Procreate. Was fun to paint this sucker. I’ll post the timelapse soon. Lemme know if you want me to break down how I made this as well!

Thank y’all for Just King Things it’s been a pillar to my sanity over the last few years. Plus you were on the money about The Tommyknockers being a good read.

This is a simple thing, but the way this phone call from UNCANNY X-MEN #185 is depicted is pretty brilliant, actually.

Not sure if I still have any traction with this these days, but would anybody be interested in commissioning artwork? 🎨

And here’s a lil timelapse of the process of painting this. I love Procreate! It’s helping me practice my in-head visualization. It’s not as concretely valuable as using references (please do!) but I love the experience of rendering the surfaces in my head to really comprehend the lighting.

Jerry’s done! Living proof that you don’t have to be a miserable fan all your life. Surround yourself with good kind people y’all. ✌🏻 Big thanks to @evandorkin.bsky.social for all the Eltingville stories and giving one of them a happy ending.

A full color portrait of The Eltingville Club’s own Jerry as a grown adult, still loving Magic the Gathering. His big smile reflects the golden glow of the Magic cards in his hand. This is his joy now.

Yeah, I’d argue it’s better. I once showed a friend Wondershowzen and just felt bad in real time. 😂 Xavier is definitely better as a straight absurdist approach to the American problem lol

Did more work fleshing out the values and surfaces on that Jerry painting!

A value painting of The Eltingville Club’s former member Jerry experiencing the joy of his love of gaming, with the magic cards in his hand glowing from it.

Nostalgia is a pair of shackles people put on willingly. If people wanna reminisce about the 2000s so bad let em watch Wondershowzen and see where the abyss was at the time.

Why does his man’s hairline look like it’s censored?

first thing i drew and wrote after coming out of my month long brain haze:

a wall with bullet holes in the outline of someone with an obvious boner. misc bullet holes dot the rest of the cracked wall and a poem is written on the right side. it goes:

i’ll live my life stupidly and without any honor

i’ll never change for anyone, not even my mother

i’m standing right here with my big stupid grin

the firing squad never shoots straight

so why should I give in

Shel Silverstein for the shellshocked. Great work as usual. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

I don’t wanna live in a world where you can’t say puns that are just downright god-awful.

Life is punishing enough.

Working on an underpainting of Jerry from Evan Dorkin’s Eltingville Club as a more adjusted adult.

An early step of painting a portrait of Jerry from Evan Dorkin’s series “The Eltingville Club” as a well adjusted adult. Eyes closed, mouth wide open in smile, Jerry’s holding a hand of Magic cards in neat matte plastic sleeves that seem to glow in his hands. An additional back light source highlights the contour of Jerry’s head and shoulders. He’s held room in his heart for joy, and let it grow into a foundation of his life now.

DICTATOR DONE
Street Fighter’s Karin Kanzuki is a bad motherfucker who don’t take no shit, and will caddy laugh in your face. 💅💅 My favorite main because that’s aspirational.

Find your inner bad bitch and rise above these goons.

#streetfighter

A pen and ink sketchbook drawing of Karin Kanzuki putting M. Bison (Dictator) in a chokehold, with him tearing up. Both fighters are worn for wear, but Karin clearly got the better shots than her Psycho Crusher combatant could put down on her. I used hatching to shade the characters, which I drew in a anime-influenced style. It emphasizes movement, because Street Fighter characters need to flow.

A neat lil timelapse of my Kenpachi Zaraki painting. The track used is “Creeping Shadows” by the incredible Shiro Sagisu. Stay creative!

Evan OOZE @evanooze.bsky.social · Feb 21

Aaaaand done! There’s a lot I learned while making this, and I look forward to the next painting!

A painting of Kenpachi Zaraki from the shoulders up, clad in red light against a cloud and dust battlefield background. His eye gleams with delight with the promise of battle.

More development over the underpainting! I’m loving how this is coming out. Painting on a screen surfaces makes a huge difference painting confidently. Almost makes me wonder how I worked all this time without it. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Feel free to ask any questions about my process so far!

A painting of Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach, eye and teeth gleaming with menace and joy for the battle.

Fiddling around with Procreate and painting Kenpachi Zaraki, my favorite Soul Society Captain in Bleach. Dude was straight to the point and dodged the monologue.

A digital underpainting of Kenpachi Zaraki, smiling at the camera with violent glee.

Very pleasantly surprises by “The Book of Clarence.” Life’s made better with knowledge and some kind of faith.

Fun lil snake piece I did a coupla years ago. I start all my sketchbook works with ink directly, but with this one I started with the color marker. It was a fun exercise to visualize the bends and overlaps of the serpent before rooting them in with ink.

A shaded ink drawing of a nude woman, with a long snake wrapped all along her body. The serpent is a dark forest green in simple silhouette that cuts in front and behind the women’s body as she joyfully engages with the creature.
