"Original Monsters" Sketch Card Set 1



This is the first set of 6 hand-drawn sketch cards based on original concepts of monsters not from existing ideas but from my imagination and based on my own fears. The stuff I'm afraid will be around the corner at night.

They are available to purchase individually or as a collection and there will be many more to come. Horror fans, I hope you dig 'em!

If interested in collecting these, please email me raydillonggs@gmail.com and make an offer for 1 or all of this set and/or future sets to come.

Thank you for checking them out. I'd love to hear your feedback!

THE LAST UNICORN Hardcover Collected Edition!

Pencils by my wife Renae De Liz. Inks and Colors by ME! Published by IDW Publishing. Based on the novel by Peter S. Beagle.

This book is really special to us. It was my wife's favorite movie as a little girl and inspired her in huge ways. We got the opportunity to work on this book right around the time we got married, found out we were having a baby, and wrapped it up shortly after our son was born. Renae was working on it all through the pregnancy. We even moved from Kansas to Maine while working on it. It was an epic adventure in our art and in our real lives.


** If you use that Amazon link, it will attach to our Amazon Affiliates account and we get a few cents for each book sold. Not much but still helps our family.

And please help spread the word! We hope to do a lot more projects like this and creator-owned projects. The only way to ensure that can happen is by making this book a big success. Shop owners and fans, please do what you can to get this book in your local store! Great all ages book!

DC Comics: Brightest Day #13 - My Colors!





Thanks to Peter Steigerwald and Aspen MLT I did some colors for a couple of issues of Brightest Day. It's particularly amazing to me that I got to do the credits page, that awesome spread of Hawkman, and with my name right there next to some of my favorite creators.

Droid-x Phone Art with Autodesk Sketchbook

My wife once again blows me away with her amazing Christmas gifts! (Previous gifts like the Axiotron Modbook!) This time with a Droid-X phone, which is going to be huge help this year! With the drawing app Autodesk Sketchbook I'm able to almost work on the level of my normal stuff in Photoshop, save PSDs, and export immediately to blog, email, twitter, etc. In fact, this post was created on my droid, too. Anyway, this is some of the work I've done so far. These are really super fast and still learning on a learning curve. Once I get really warmed up to the system I bet I'll be using this a LOT. Art in the grocery check out, paint at a traffic jam, etc. Score one for productivity! Thanks, wife!!

This was created using this neat 'Mirror Drawing' feature in Autodesk Sketchbook
