Meet the ocean's most rugged protector. This original illustration features a battle-hardened whale equipped and ready to patrol the deep.

Satirical painting featuring a man fishing in a large pothole in the road of a typical British council estate.

Papa Ed's prompt: Gritty

Just working on drawing Enna . At some point, I want to draw some gritty skull warpaint on this piece but I'm going to have to do some experimentation to get the right look.

Egg tempera painting

Quick 1 hour sketch working with a limited palette for a moody, gritty atmosphere. I always like to think of the story behind a piece before I start, and this one was a reflection of where I see the world going - a dystopian world in which many parts of the city have been abandoned, taken over by urban foliage, and left to ruin as people flee.

I've tried to bring the feeling of motion into my sketch. I like capturing street scenes and wanted to convey the gritty street alogwith the activity of the tourists and Londoners.
