Figure study

Doing some more figure studies, trying a classical approach. I'm pretty happy with this one. I'll probably go back and work on it some more, so let's call this part I.

You want your sci-fi creepiness? Well I got your sci-fi creepiness right here!!

Summer break as a kid, home alone for hours on end, I took solace in whatever campy horror/science fiction movies I could find on TV (Ice Pirates, I'm lookin' at you), and many stacks of comic books. Paired with shelves full of my older brothers' hand-me-down fantasy and sci-fi novels with their incredibly illustrated covers, I had a fertile imagination for all things dark, dystopian, and awesome. 

This is sort of an homage to those days, as I sit at home on this scorcher of a summer break.
