Brain Buster isn't the brightest of the Ugly Styx gang. To be perfectly honest he just wants to get to the farm with all the rabbits

Our version of the Death tarot card depicts characters found in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. Here, you'll see The Headless Horseman riding his horse of death toward the terrified Ichabod Crane as he pleads for mercy. His horse wears the traditional flag found in Rider-Waite’s Death tarot card. The white flower on this flag symbolizes purity and immortality, and it’s five petals represent change. In the background, you'll notice we've used two lofty, twisted trees in place of the traditional two towers. You will also see the moon instead of the sun as it rises over the horizon.

This was supposed to be a quick practice/study with digital airbrushes, with ref from a photo, but I immersed myself in it, so it quickly turned into an actual full-blown painting lol. [Recycled an old background for this to make things a bit easier lol] Tbh, it turned out better than my usual 'hard-brush-then-blending-tool' method. The soft edge of the digital airbrush makes for a smoother transition from light to dark (and vice versa). Done on my phone in about 6 hours total.

A concept for a (promo?) poster that was floating around in my head, inspired by Gowan in his new Criminal Mind Costume that he rolled out during his recent solo tour. I'm also trying to go for the 'animated movie poster' style for the colours on this - think any of Don Bluth's film's posters or even a more obscure one like Nelvana's "Rock & Rule"(where the other main inspiration spark came from for this!) Done entirely in Autodesk SketchBook in about 12 hours total from sketch to finished product. Art ©️ Illia St. Onge Original 'A Criminal Mind' character/concepts ©️ Lawrence Gowan

"They Tried To Reform Me...." Decided to render up a graphic thing based on the sign alluded to in the beginning of the video - and now also graphic novel - for "A Criminal Mind" by Gowan Found what font was used originally by putting a screenshot of the plaque through a font identification app, then it grew from there... Used both realism and comic book elements in this (realistic shading on the typography and comic-book-esque linework for the rest) Linework and typography rendering done on my laptop, colourization and other elements finished on my phone - both in Autodesk sketchbook . Colors end up being more vivid on my phone anyways.
