Amadeus Arkham's Uploads

This started as something I was doing for fun, but turned into a very strenuous exercise on how to work with this many light sources.

This color work is probably terrible, but I'm too sick to care.

Another print I did. Get ready, I'm getting close to uploading my worthless doodles rather than finished pieces I've actually worked on.

And~ another print

And yet another print.

Super quick perspective practice doodle

Another print I did for a convention

I've been getting questions about how I create my art here, so I figured I would upload some progress pieces. Here's the first one! I was listening to the Westworld season 2 soundtrack which always makes me want to draw Harvey (for some reason). I wasn't really practicing anything in particular, just doodling. It was fun to just let my hand wander, though I think the sketch was much better than the inking I did.

Another "Sick Day Scarecrow" I did recently getting over a cold. There's too much comic stuff to get into to explain this, but in summary its a parallel universe Scarecrow I decided to design who is more of a superhero. Kinda.

We were having a thunder storm, so I figured I’d do a sketch waiting for my markers to get here. I ended up getting carried away and inking it right away. I put a few layers of fixatif on it, and I'm hoping that'll stop the paint/ink from bleeding too much when I apply the markers.

I have returned! And here are the finished turtles.

A poster I was working on that I never finished. I might go back to it eventually.

I'm currently sick, and whenever I'm sick I doodle Scarecrow. Its tradition (for some reason).

Since folks like the one of Mars, I figured I should upload this one as well. Same concept, but I think the Mars one worked better for the commission.

Next up is the finalized sketch. Specifically when I'm working on prints and commissions I do a detailed final sketch. It makes the inking/painting process a lot faster.

The inks for the turtles

I've been really busy lately. I took a break that was supposed to be a 10 minute doodle break, and this was the result. Well, its the inks of the sketch result. I have no idea if the colors will work the way I intend, but I'll post those after they're finished.

Warm up inking practice doodle. I was practicing a certain inking technique for a commission.

A painting print I did for a convention.

I needed to practice some techniques for some Star Wars prints, so I decided I was going to try to draw The Joker in a more modern tux. Don’t ask, it makes sense in my head. There are a bunch of anatomical errors in this, but it did its job so I'm not too worried about it.

While I was drawing this months ago, my tablet pen fell apart in my hand. It was bizarre and shocking, and then I completely forgot about this piece even existed. The print that almost never was.
