Guns Daily T-Shirt/Hoody Design

This is another T-Shirt design I was commissioned to do by +Gunsdaily , I'm really happy how this one came out.  Go check out @gunsdaily1 on Instagram!  

Modern Spartan

There are a lot of 2nd Amendment related "Molon Labe" spartan helmet art works out there, so I was thinking, how can I do something with the spartan helmet I hadn't seen already.  So I thought to combine the classic steel mask from the spartan helmet and combining it with a current style military helmet often used by Special Forces.  This was done in a little less than 3 hours using Photoshop using digital paint with some photo-manipulation.

Undead Ed

I have been doing sketches of zombie cowboys for a few years now, and awhile back I thought...I should make some sort of character from this idea.  So this is just a little something I threw together for the fun of it.  I thought it might be cool to do this piece like a trading card, so who knows...maybe there will be more?

Join the Empire!!

I have been feeling the itch to do something Star Wars related.  Of course I also am always in the mood to draw something firearm or pin-up related, so I thought...why not combine all three?  After I sketched out the pose for my silly idea, I gave the character a vintage hairstyle to give her that pin-up feel.  I drew inspiration from retro styles of lingerie for the dress and then added armor over it that I pulled from various imperial soldiers from the Star Wars universe.  Needing some badass firepower, I went with a standard stormtrooper blaster.  I then added a splash of "propaganda" to make it fun.

Enjoy!  ...and may the force be with you...always!

Project 1776 Lead Female Character

I have had a 2.5D side-scroller in my head for years now that I gave the code name "Project 1776".  I have pretty much lost hope in the idea of ever making the game, as making a game of its size just isn't realistic without a staff of talent.  I think many of us in the game development world love to dream about making our "perfect game", but the longer I work in the industry, the more I see just how much work and manpower it takes to make even the simplest of games, let alone something the size of extra large, 2.5D,  Metal Slug.  It just isn't possible while maintaining a full time job.

The basic premise of the game is that it would be a side-scrolling shooter (Contra, Metal Slug, Gunstar Heroes ext...) made in very high end 3D graphics but with the camera locked into a 2D angle, just like Street Fighter IV, Mortal Kombat and many of the Nintendo Wii games like New Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong Country Returns.  The gameplay would revolve around firearms and doing fancy combos while jumping, sliding and taking cover.  The story is loosely based around some of the popular conspiracy theorists and their ideas of a future where the government would fail us and there would be a revolution.  The game follows two young, new recruits to this rebellion against a corrupt government.  ...never decided on names for them, so we'll just call them Player 1 and Player 2.  :P 

So here is a concept of Player 2, the female lead character.  I'll likely share some more things from this idea over time, I still enjoy making characters and weapons for the game idea...just a fun excuse to make cool stuff. 

The Yankee Marshal - Comic Version

Here is another image I have made of The Yankee Marshal, one of my favorite people on YouTube.  The last image I made was simply a recreation of his current logo, and all I really did was take what he has and try to make it look more like him.  I thought this time I would make something of my own design that reflects his fun and more "nerdy" side.  Yankee is a big comic book and cartoon fan, so I thought I'd put a bit of a Superman treatment on the logo.  If you see this Yankee, hope you get a kick out of it! :)

Resident Evil 5 Toons

Here is a set of RE5 toons that I'm finely getting around to posting.  I originally drew these back when the game first came out but they were never posted up or finished.  I dug them up last night, re-touched and colored them and thought it's due time they saw the light of day.

1911 Concept

Digital painting of a "Drawn with Lead" edition 1911.  Been watching American Guns and I always enjoy seeing the cool customized hand guns they make for their customers...I guess you could say this might be what I'd have them make me if I was every so inclined. ;)

Military Concept Vehicle

I have been doing a lot more conceptual work as of late, here is a military vehicle of my own design that I decided to throw my Saturday at.  I roughed out the basic shape in a 3D package than took into Photoshop for the digital paint-over and variations.

Even More Fun With Planets!!

Decided to make the planet images a trilogy!  Went with some pinks and purples on this one.  Not sure why, but I like space images that are bright and un-ordinary color schemes.

Fun With Planets

Got the itch to do something a bit more sci-fi than my usual work.  All made in Photoshop primarily with the airbrush, smudge tool and some basic filters.  If you don't know this about me already...I love myself some 1 pixel brush, just saying! :)

DrawnWithLead Draws: Shay Carl & Katilette

Playlist Live 2012 in Orlando; got to meet Shay Carl and his awesome family!!  They are really great people and it was a lot of fun to create this drawing for them, I sure hope they like it. :)

DrawnWithLead Draws: Omar

Playlist Live 2012 in Orlando; We met up with Omar at the Maker Studios Booth.  Omar was pretty stoked about the drawings I had done of Shay and Kassem so I told him I'd make one for him too.  Didn't get footage of me doing the drawing this time, but Jess still put together a cool video for this week.  Check it out below!!

Live from Channel 6 News!!

I just sort of got this idea for a April O'Neil wallpaper one day....so I made it.  I wanted her to come off as a bit more hot version of the April from the 90's cartoon series.  One of the more fun pieces I've worked on for sure.

Forsaken World Commission

This is a desktop wallpaper I did as a commission.  It's based off the online RPG "Forsaken World" which has a very Asian art style so it was a good excuse to do something a bit more "anime" then my normal work.  Enjoy!

DrawnWithLead Draws: Kassem G

Jessica and I recently went to Playlist Live 2012 in Orlando.  While we were there we met up with Kassem G and I showed him a sketch I drew of him while he was on stage doing his thing.  I told him that I would color and finalize the image and send it to him....so hey Kassem, here you go! :)

Check out the video Jessica made here:
