Edward, Horror Art Sketch Card

Edward is a horror art sketch card based on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Done in ink and marker. This is a limited edition print (out of 20), signed and numbered on the back. All prints of my Sketch cards are laminated for durability and to protect from people with beer.

The Host, Horror art

Hello, this is an ink and marker sketch card I did for a horror art set of original monsters. There is a story behind this one as well, he is only a side character and this is going to require a bit of explaining. Imagine if you will a race  of insect like female creatures who require the use of technology and male hominids to reproduce parasitically.
They use technology to transmit sound frequencies to prospect host to make him angry, eventually gain control of host on some level. This eventually leads to host arriving at nest, he then is cloned with modifications better suited for young female creature. Full control over host's will occurs when he kills his former self, host being cloned with female creature inside performs drone functions of the nest. When it is time for birth host walks to the edge of the center nest, and the parasite liberates itself from its fleshy host as illustrated here. This is part of my Fire Heart world one story and is Copyrighted by Vincent Russell. On a funny side note back in 2006 I believe I would draw different scenes from this story on wrapped christmas presents and I think my aunt thought I was crazy.

Ghoul, Acrylic Horror Painting, 5x7

Here comes Ghoul the last as of now from this stretched faced horror art collection. This one has brown skin and blue eyes. This one is done on 5x7 canvas panel and painted with acrylic paint.

Watching, Acrylic Painting 5x7

Watching is yet another one of the stretched face paintings. This one is red with yellow eyes. Have one more to post and I'll be done with these series of horror paintings for now.

Sam, Stretched Face Painting

Sam is another one of the stretched face horror paintings I did. Same story, acrylic paint, canvas panel, glossy finish and time. This beautiful horror painting is done by a horror artist who does art and loves arts, now buy art (Googlized lol)

Midnight Prowler, Original Painting

There goes another one of my stretched faces. As before it's 5x7 acrylic painting on canvas panel. Green skin and yellow eyes and teeth this time.
I should turn these into postcards.

Ruffian, Acrylic Horror Painting

Ruffian is another one of my 5x7 acrylic horror paintings. Mossy green skin and yellow eyes and teeth were my choice of colors for this creepy fellah.

I seal all of my painting with a protective layer to prevent accidental scratching. After a wall with my work fell before the art show, and none of my paintings got damaged I consider it a must. Added benefit of the seal is a shine that acrylic paint doesn't usually have.

I just turned ruffian into a postcard and greeting card in case someone want to get these and give it to... your grandma? At least that's what I would do if I didn't want to be invited to any family gatherings ever again.

Now I just have to turn the rest of these cute little guys into greeting cards. Till then, you can always buy originals.

He Who Lets Evil In, Horror Painting

He Who Lets Evil In is a horror painting done with acrylic paint on 5x7 canvas panel. This is from a series of paintings all done on the same size panel. I'll be posting the rest of this nightmareish art in the near future.

I decided to paint these small paintings after I got so much good feedback on mirrors I did earlier. I decided to paint a smaller and more affordable versions since many of my fans don't have enough money to be able so drop a few hundred dollars on a painting. With these I can keep my fans happy and keep on doing what I love most, horror and fantasy arts of all shapes and sizes.

Just added this one to my red bubble, it can not be purchased as a post card or greeting card.

Cyn-thet-ica, T-Shirt with Fantasy Art

Cyn-thet-ica is my latest t-shirt design as of today at least. This is another fantasy character I created. This t-shirt is available in a few colors, depending on what you prefer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I would like to thank everyone who have taken an interest in my work, thats very cool of you. Now for the symbols, the bird is the Phoenix and represents life from death, and is placed above all as a standard for the conquering of death with rebirth. The Onk to the right has several meanings, first the circle represents the endless struggle of life to survive no matter what, devouring It's own tail. The tautan cross part symbolizes a bladed barbed weapon in which unwavering faith in an ability to succeed in slaying death will lead to victory, the enemy being represented in the last icon on the bottom. They each represent different aspects of the same Idea, however there is a story to this as well. Cyn-Thet-Ica is a side character in one of a series of stories in Fire Heart (copyrighted), all this applies directly to her life. At a young age as a queen, she had to make the toughest decision of her natural life. To save herself and all her people from a chemical weapon set into motion by an imperialistic robot nation. Forgoing their carbon based bodies for synthetic ones, so that they may survive genocide and thrive to claim victory over their attackers.

Kor the Troll T-Shirt, Horror Art

Kor the Troll t-shirt is my horror art tee-shirt and it is now on  Red Bubble. This horror art is done with ink and arranged, colored on the computer. The basis being a comic book concept that I have put much time into, it is the story of Kor the Troll and how fear of what we are can blind us to what we become. I'll be working on this horror story soon, so it'll be out there. I'm working on another graphic novel at the moment, so it will take some time before I can get to this one. I'll be posting here when I'll start working on the art for it.

Embers of Madness T-Shirt

Embers of Madness is a visualization of insanity. It may be considered that fire purifies evil, how ever animals trapped by fire go mad in panic. This is a creature who's mind is encircled by flame and revels in the chaos of his erratic mentality. This thing that was a man, and had been dead, had seen the edge of perception only to be pulled back to life by a sense of vengeance. To topple all living enemies in pillars of fire, to bring the inferno at the edge of all sight into view for all who have wronged him.

This comic book style artwork done in an attempt to capture this element of insanity which in truth is almost all that is left of this character.

Acrylic Fantasy Painting. Talon, The Teeth and Wisdom.

This is a fantasy painting, based on a concept about an elf who wakes up believing that the war he was a soldier in, still continues. He discovers that both sides were the same and the means for a third party to gain power. When this elf discovers the political leader he fought for is part of this third party, he attempts assassination only to discover two others with as much reason as him to kill the political traitor: a dwarf and a halfbreed of super intelligent telepathic forest cat and domestic breed. This cats name is Wisdom and is the closest thing to being the last of the full breed forest cats. The elf becomes his Talon and the dwarf is dubbed The Teeth. Together they flee a failed assassination into the enchanted mushroom wilds, This is what I had hoped to capture with this acrylic painting. If you enjoy good fantasy art then I believe you will love my work, this is the first in a series acrylic paintings and Illustrations based on this concept.

Monster Portrait

This is monster portrait drawn in pen and ink. I did this one recently and thought it wasn't scary enough, I was told by others however that it is too scary, so I guess after drawing all those monster drawings I got a bit desensitized. Would like to update you on my recent state, first of all I was in the gallery this past week and it was an incredible experience. I'm glad I ended up in Erie, there is so much going on here in terms of arts.
For the next few days I'll be working on a 2 page comic that I want to submit to Heavy Metal magazine in hopes that they will love my artwork as much as I love their magazine, or at least love it enough to publish it. Well, I'll be going back to my work.

Do you Want to be a Hero?

This drawing is a sample of a portrait of a fantasy/comic book hero. I drew it yesterday from a picture of my wife. We were thinking about this character for some time now. This is a character called Lida of the Woods who is a child of the nature and fights to protect it. She has vines around one arm that she uses to block and attack. The other hand has a glove on it to protect that hand when she strikes with a dagger.

If if would like btw me to draw you as a fantasy character or a comic book character just send me a photo and a description of a character you want to become and the rest is up to me. For details go to my custom portrait post at Unnerving Nightmare shop

Portraits

I have drawn portraits before, but haven't tried making a living of of it until now. Over the last few days I drew 2 portraits in different inking style and priced them according to the time it took me to draw them. At the moment they are actually very cheap as far as portraits go, in the future I'm planing to increase the price though, I mean honestly, $50 for a portrait? Thats just too cheap, but I have to start somewhere.

Comic Strip

This Is the first page of a comic strip I'm working on. I will sell prints of this page in Unnerving Nightmare shop on etsy as this page is a story in itself. The rest of the story will be drawn though, eventually... This comic book/graphic novel will be about a man who in the proces of killing monsters became a monster himself. I'd like to bring your attention to the eyes of the monster that just got slain in the middle of the page. What do you see in them? Who is this monster? Wad he always an abomination? The eyes drow a very good picture about this monster being not all that bad, he just got cought up and couldn't find his way. Death was his only way out, and death he got.

5 Faced Mirror

Horror painting done on a mirror frame. I love doing stretched faces, can you tell?
This one is not as scary as the one with 3 faces, but it's enough to get old ladies to make disgusted face and walk away. Better yet, old man to turn away from it as soon as they get a glimpse with the look on their face that reads "I didn't see it, I swear I didn't see it, God please don't send me to sell for looking at it, I didn't see anything." If I god a $1 for every person that got disgusted after looking at this painting, I'd be rich.

Mirror With Three Streched Faces

 

Painted mirror done in acrylic paint. Faces stretched  Around the mirror give a very cool effect when you look at your self in the mirror.

I painted this mirror about a month ago. Got good reactions out of it, people loved it, especially the red face. Actually red face is what people usually saw and didn't even noticed the other two. Hope you guys love it as much as I do. 

PS: sorry I didn't post anything for so long, didn't have Internet access. 

Single Page Story, Fire Heart

This wasn't intended to be a part of the same Fire Heart story, but it is the same character and principle. The characters on the top strip, in the middle are from another story I plan to work on in the future called Lida of the Woods. The two stories are not really connected in the way this strip might suggest, but once again have the same principle. What can I say, my ADD does strange things to my art sometimes. For those who know me well, and have heart about my recent adventures, however this strip and the appearance of characters from other stories will mean more.
