Ngl, the reason I wanted to finally read Ruslan and Ludmila by Alexander Pushkin was because I wanted to know what the heck was going on in these Gennady Novozhilov illustrations. It did not disappoint.

A poster illustration much like a book cover to the poem Ruslan and Ludmila by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. It’s a warm-paletted drawing of two figures. The figure in the front is a young woman with light skin and striking dark eyes and long reddish-blonde hair. She wears a jeweled headband and holds an irregular incurve chrysanthemum. The man in the background is a knight with white-blonde hair, a handlebar mustache, and pale blue eyes. He is dressed all in red and brandishes a sword. An eagle, appearing like a golden coat of arms, appears on his shoulder. The pale-blonde shoulder rides a reddish horse over a field of spears and corpses beneath a soft orange evening sky while a falcon flies overhead. The bones and skulls lie amongst discarded armor and weapons, and elegant wild vegetation blooms all around them, overtaking them. A knight dressed all in red atop a ruddy brown approaches a giant severed head appearing to grow out of the ground, its mustache and hair tangling into roots affixing it into the ground. The giant head appears to be wearing a giant horned helm. Two images of the same young woman, evidently in some sequence. She is golden-blonde. In one image she is seated on a carpet amid a generous spread of delicious-looking fruits and wines nestled among serene wildflowers. Above her is a golden ornament. In another image she is looking at herself in a mirror, wearing a tall dark hat, apparently pilfered from a small goblin-looking man who appears stunned to see her wearing it.

Last month, I attended a shibari-themed life drawing session hosted by Renai Rai, a well-known rigger here in Manila. This session's model was Harley, a good friend of mine, and it was a lot of fun to draw her with Rai's ropework.

Here's a sneak peek of a recent cover I was hired to illustrate, posting the full in a couple days. If you're following the right creators you might have already been spoiled for this one. If you're subscribed to me on P*tr**n, then you've definitely already seen it.

"In place of the future moon, I'll punish you!" Here's a traditional ink commission of Chibiusa from the Sailor Moon franchise. I've always wanted to draw this character, so I was really glad to have the opportunity to.

"Killing's my business. I'll trade a bed for my sword." Ink commission of Sai/Psylocke from Demon Days: X-Men! I've admired the character designs from Demon Days for a while now, and am very much in love with the style of Peach Momoko.

"To love is to be vulnerable." -- C.S. Lewis Here's something very different from my usual work. I typically no longer take on personal commissions (with the exception of ink works from fans), but a friend hired me to paint a portrait of him and his partner for their anniversary.

I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them. This is dragon 1 of 5

Amethyst dragon design sheet I did. I spent way too long working on that faux bestiary page layout, please appreciate it.
