BRAINSICK art: Assuage Me of My Fears (2004) and Leave My Fears Unrealized (2007)

^ "Assuage Me of My Fears" - 2004, Pigma Micron 005 and Prismacolor markers on smooth bristol. This piece represents the current (a la 2004) cast of Brainsick, alongside a smattering of themes.

^ "Leave My Fears Unrealized" - 2007, pencil on smooth bristol. This drawing - a revamp of "Assuage Me of My Fears" - was never finished and never will be, though I do like the composition fairly well. I'd like to revamp the concept as a promotional poster for Brainsick one of these days. It will be done!

I'd had a lot of trouble getting my human characters' faces to look right; it was not until I began college that I learned the value of thumbnail drawings.

BRAINSICK art: Angel (2006) and Angels Misled (2010)

^ "Angel" - 2006, Pigma Micron pens, Prismacolor markers, Sharpie, and white out on Borden & Riley marker paper. Drawn while playing the eponymous Massive Attack song on repeat.

^ "Angels Misled" - 2010, Speedball Super Pigmented Acrylic Ink on Borden & Riley marker paper.

Nibs used: Hunt 102, Hunt 107, Hunt 108, Hunt 513EF

A comparison of the same concept and how it was executed during different years. I love creating loose, free compositions for my Brainsick characters and their themes.
