There must have been a great cry of excitement when the first idea of pitting Aliens against The Predator came about.
The ultimate hunter, and the ultimate trophy. Being without individual personality, the Aliens provide a large number to whittle through, whereas the Predator has to win it solo.
When I was a kid, Labrinyth was my favorite movie. Mom worked at a video store, so she had free rentals, and I\'d estimate I saw that at least 20 times - which as a lot for me, because I barely watched something twice!
This is those crazy things that pull off their body parts while singing and dancing.
I'm glad Jim Henson made stuff for adults and not kids, because this is actually freaky as hell to others.
The ratio of my pen and ink pictures to shaded ones (either in pencil, charcoal, crayon etc...) has to be about 300 to 1.
Pen, line, cross-hatching, patches of black ink seem to be what I'm drawn to (waugh... Too bad I said that) but occasionally I do some shading to bring out the more subtle 3D aspects.
This one at least combines perspective and the need to do a little planning out before hand. ... Perhaps.

Contact me for comissioned artwork, concept drawings, photographs, this, that and the other thing.
Starting drawing relentlessly around 3 years old. Starting with a huge mural of a town on the wall behind my parents bed, which, to my memory, was found only when we moved. Mom and Dad being quite surprised.
Continued drawing with the influence of cartoons, sci-fi & fantasy movies and comic books, notably Transformers and Batman. Always liked Art class best in school. In the early 2000's completed Joe Kubert's penciling course through the Mail.
Tried my hand at sculpting, painting, computer art, foam puppet & monster costume design, film editing and video game design.
Planning on finding a career in some sort of Arty Vain.
Will consider requests!

Originally, the sketch for this robot had it throwing a car at a cop with his gun drawn.
Thankfully, I had not interest in continuing that picture, and switched the subject matter at the last minute.
