Babes of Sword and Sorcery

This week we pay tribute to those girls of sword and sorcery.  Following are some sketches and finished art of various types of warrior women, just ready to take on all comers in knock-down drag-out fighting.  Get your sword in hand and le's go.

The spice of Life!

Here is a smattering of art, quite a variety of old and new, that hasn't been posted before.  Enjoy!

This is queen Nemone; a scene from "Tarzan and the City of Gold."

This is an unused cover I did for Alter Ego magazine.

I decided to do an illustration of Tom Swift using a more animated style.  This likewise was nver used.


The cover illustration for the Wilde Knight special edition.

The above drawing and the two following pages comprise work I did on a comic featuring model Alleu Baggett in a sword and sorcery comic, that sadly was never used.



Some concept work for a science fiction western concept, that, you guessed it, was never used.

Wilde Knight

Wilde Knight is my own creator owned charcter, along with writer Gary Petras.  We published one issue of Wilde Knight back in about 2003 through a small publisher.  I hope someday we'll publish a second and end the story started in the first issue.  Following are the first 8 pages along with a few other selected pieces.  A word of caution; there is some nudity on the following pages.




                                                   







Below is a cover prelim done for issue #1.

Below is one of the covers done for issue #2.

Babes of Fantasy

Following is a collection of the exotic and beautiful women of fantasy including Dejah Thoris, Red Sonja, Lady Death, and Jungle Girls.  It would be hard to pick a favorite, so I won't even try.  I've posted a few of these before, so with this posting I'm just trying to oraganize a bit and stick  more to a theme when I post my art.  Most of these pieces were commissions, a few were just done for the fun of it.  The above Dejah Thoris piece is the cover art for the ERBapa (the Edgar Rice Burroughs Amatuer Press Association).  All art, pencilling, inking, and coloring is by yours truely. 













The above piece is the one piece posted here which was not colored by me.  This was colored by my pal and great colorist Lance Erlick.  Lance did a wonderful job, even made it look easy.
