Toy of the Week - Tiamat

I'm going to try my best to keep this "Toy of the Week" feature going. I have plenty of toys to do it but sometimes I get a bit busy and tend to slack off on my online duties. So if I miss a week let me know and I will get something up asap. All toys that I post will be from my personal collection. I have been collecting toys since I was a kid so I have a lot of them. OK lets start this thing off shall we.

Tiamat from the classic Dungeons & Dragons toy line by LJN Toys Inc. will be this weeks toy. He is dated 1984 and he is awesome. Dungeons & Dragons was one of the coolest toy lines to come out of the 80's. The sculpts were beautiful and the features were great. I still think the cartoon is amazing. I wish this toy line would have kept going but alas all good things must end. Anyway go here to find out more about this cool as hell toy line. http://www.toyarchive.com/DungeonsDragons.html

Albrecht Durer: Art in Transition

I love the old woodcuts by Albrecht Durer and I was especially inspired by the apocalyptic series that he did. He truly inspired a lot of my works so when I found out that they were showing 100 of his pieces at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts I had to go. I went on the last day of the show and it was well worth it. I can't believe how great of an experience it was. The detail that man did in his works was just incredible. Thank you for all of your inspiration Albrecht. I am honored to have seen your work up close. It was a humbling experience.

Dinosaur Hydra

Dawn of the Dead Tribute

This is a commission I did of the original "Dawn of the Dead" movie by George Romero. I also added a couple close ups so you can get a better look at the details. It's not movie accurate so don't get all up in arms over it. I just did certain zombies and elements and mixed a lot of stuff together.
Let me know what you think.

Porkanthrope

This is a werepig. I originally did a sketch of him in my 30 sketches of Halloween in 2008. I really liked him so wanted to redo him with a little more time and detail. He will be a main creature in a short story for my comics which will hopefully be done by the end of this year. Have one story done so far. anyway this was hand drawn with pencil then inked. I colored it in photoshop.

Friday the 13th

So I went and seen the new "Friday the 13Th" movie on Friday the 13Th. I have to say that I really liked it. The new no nonsense approach to Jason was great. It combined the first 4 movies from the original series but without the 80's cheese factor. I wasn't expecting much when I went to see it but was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The opening sequence was a crowd pleaser and got the audience pumped for the rest of the movie. It was a great time had by all. I'm not one to tell you the story or what happened so you will just have to see it for yourself.

Here is a tribute drawing I did a couple years ago for the franchise.
