Lamia - Queen of Pain and Desire - from my sketchbook...

Fooling around with designs for the Lamia in my sketchbook....

Thinking about the Lamia...

So I was thinking about who should be the head honcha of my pantheon. I was originally intending this to be the Queen of Blood but while I still like the new design I did for her I thought the mistress of all desire and suffering should be a little weirder than a regular vampire/demoness and kind of... special. Then I remembered the Lamia, who entices men with her fabulous breasts and then tears them to pieces. She also eats babies. Look at her:

Totally crazy and cool! I started playing around with elements of this old medieval design - I thought she could stand up on her hind legs like a satyr... what if she had a snake for a tail, what if she had wings...?

Lamia, Queen of Pain and Desire

A few weeks ago I started thinking about what the head honcha of my pantheon would be like. I like the latest Queen of Blood design I'd done but she just didn't seem weird and... special enough to be the Queen of all the Gods and the mistress of all the desire and suffering in the human world. Then I remembered the Lamia - a fabulous beast from Greek myth and Medieval bestiaries who lures men to their deaths

Picture for David - work in progress

This is a picture I drew today of David, my friend and the man behind The Melting Ice Caps... it's going to end up as part of the cover for his forthcoming single.

Drawing for Moon Trent

A drawing for - and of - my friend the singer Moon Trent. It'spretty close to being finished I think.

The Wolf King ~ latest version

It's not really all that different in terms of the design, but with the horns and the more dynamic pose I'm happier with this new image of the Wolf King...

The Wolf King ~ first sketch

Here is my first try at the Wolf King, who is going to be the head honcho of my race of Gods in the ATASH comics, and Atash's daddy, er, I mean, father. I did this a while ago and wasn't too happy with it but I masochistically thought I'd share it with y'all anyway...
