Choppin Blades #2, Stomped TPB, Monster Matador Blood of the Matador #2, Drip #1 and Neon Spring
Some awesome recent rewards from @monstermatador.bsky.social @damienbecton.bsky.social @bdepillis.bsky.social @iancinco.bsky.social @rossradke.bsky.social the indie comics scene is eating!
Inked the Emperor Scorpion I drew last month at bug night. Colored pencils and sepia Micron pens.
One of my guiding rules for the next issue of Stomped is “Shin it up!”, meaning, don’t settle for the easiest option, inspired by cinematography from the Shin Godzilla & Ultraman films. The pages I’m working on now were originally talking heads, but I want to push things as dynamic as possible.
The best comics lean into what makes them unique from film, so instead of using wide panels and unusual framing exactly like the Shin films, I’m trying to capture similar energy in the layouts, creating a sense that the reader is in the scene, zipping around the characters.

If I offered 13 spots drawing your favorite musicians for 100 bucks a piece would any of you be interested? The original you'd get would be 4.25 X 5 and black and white. Willing to draw whole bands too for 250 (8.5 X 11)
King Ghidorah
12x9” commission
Brown Micron, Copic markers, Posca white out
I drew some bugs!
Star Bar and the Portland Insectarium host a monthly Drink & Draw with a bunch of live and mounted bugs. Haven’t drawn with colored pencils in a while, so it was fun practice.

Hercules beetle, emperor scorpion, budwing stick insect and praying mantis.
Finished line art.
I attempted this a while back, mostly with artists who worked on Hellboy & BPRD comics. Some styles are easier to riff on than others. I think most of these are interesting failures.
Giant Robot Hellboy!
6x9” sketch commission, assorted pens and markers
Cheetah lady sketch
Shard
OC from my superhero comic SpandEx.
Mostly wanted to try drawing these weird cut out shorts I had a few reference photos of, then practice rendering metallic pink skin.

Contributor copies of @rossradke.bsky.social's Stomped have arrived! This book collects all four issues of the kaiju comics anthology series. I contributed to two issues and the prologue new to this book.

@rossradke.bsky.social AT LONG LAST! IT HAS EMERGED!
WIP and my first attempt, which felt a bit too sloppy.

Rad-Key.
Not that hard but I’ve heard people try to pronounce it Raid-kuh and even Raw-dick. 😆
What you’ve done here is helpful.

@rossradke.bsky.social THEY ARRIVED! Thank you so much, I love these little guys! T.T
Awesome! This is the first I’ve seen that the books are actually going out!

LETS GOOOOOOO!
Started building the third iteration of the kaiju model I plan to use as reference for the next volume of Stomped.
Shout out to my buddy Kevin for doing most of the actual construction. I’m impressed that this thing actually supports its own standing weight!

I hope these two are on your watchlist.
Haven’t been posting much art lately, so here’s me trying to figure out how a striped hoodie works. Used reference photos but decided on limiting to fewer stripes so it reads better when she tiny on the page. Kim from my indie kaiju comic Stomped.
