There goes 2016... A final batch of drawings

A few more drawings from November and December to wind up a very mixed year.

Another Vlad Tepes, a slightly more lighthearted version this time. Made at the (hopefully) revived Drink&Draw session in the Tücsök (Cricket) Beer Garden.

Too many great artists passed away in 2016, several of them definitely before their time. Maybe this is not true of Leonard Cohen, who "had many good innings" (as a British mate of mine said), but his death is still a great loss.  This portrait actually resembles a bit to my Dad, who passed away a week after Mr. Cohen, so may in fact be my tribute to him.

A female Agent Kitty, just to walk on the bright side.  Head design kindly borrowed from French comics genius Boulet. Merci!

Next up, a lot more serious cat. Fanart of Blacksad, the title character of an utterly awesome Spanish-French comic, finally being published in Hungarian.

Sadly, another tribute was in order this week, as Carrie Fisher was also claimed by 2016. The original Star Wars movies were defining childhood experiences for so many of us, and she formed an unforgettable female lead character as Princess Leia . May the Force be with her!

Last but definitely not least, let me show you something drawn by one of my finest comics buddies (the cover designer of Corvin himself ), Gábor Pápai. Gábor is one of the proud ones who completed the whole Inktober challenge. He also published his drawings and made personalized covers to top it off. So here's me and Mr. Colin O'Gara, whose further adventures I need to work hard on in the new year.

So, let's call it a year, and please allow me the audacity to wish all of us a slightly better 2017!

Autumn drawings

In a timely fashion as it is still November and boy, isn't it a warm one.

First of all, a Drink&Drawing, with another mermaid

A possibly Corvin compatible drunken monk

Kicked off Inktober in a quite simple way, I admit

But stepped it up with this fantasy character

And finished with these plainer looking fellas

 
 That's all for now, Folks!

 

Summery drawings - as promised

Only a little later, but hey - that's life.

 First of all, a norker, right out of Scott Chantler's Three Thieves comics series. Check the first sample page out for a reference here if you feel like: https://www.comixology.com/Three-Thieves-Vol-5-Pirates-of-the-Silver-Coast/digital-comic/229192?ref=Y29taWMvdmlldy9kZXNrdG9wL3NsaWRlckxpc3Qvc2VyaWVz

 Another bloke inspired by a stander-by in Three Thieves, and possibly also by the Black Sails pirate TV series.

Moving on to products of Drink & Draw sessions, here's a party monster probably having something to do with the Vogons from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A Vogon that has come to its senses, if you like.

Also, a real baaaad karate instructor drawn on a table covering paper placed there for the purpose of drawing on it at a joint called Alap.

 In closing for now, a mermaid playing water polo, one of the traditional Hungarian  sports we're still reasonably good at. The idea of drawing a mermaid was put forward by a friend, so I drew this for her birthday as a present :)

February and March Drink & Drawings

We're keeping it up, luckily.

The main topics of the February session were James Bond villains and cats, so I kicked it off with a combined drawing of

Mr. Blowfeld, the classic Bond-villain and his cat.

Next up, a less well-known villain from Die Another Day, Pierce Brosnan's last appearance as the 007. Gustav Graves, played by Toby Stephens, who more recently kicks ass as Captain Flint in the Black Sails series.

Last but not least, two cat villains. Improvised fan art attempt for the 1980s classic Hungarian animation movie Catcatcher. The leaders of the cat mob, Mr. Gatto and Mr. Teufel.

Not strictly D&D product, but started at the same venue: a native American girl.

And finally, my sole output at the rather carefree March session,: a big badass all-American machinegunner. This one served to process my experience at the dentist the day before, I believe.

Some New Drink & Drawings

We kicked off the new year two weeks ago with the excellent Drink & Draw Budapest crew.
Here's my two creations:

Count Dracula's got the moves

       While a shimmering pony can breathe fire

... also two pics of the company and yours truly:

Stay tuned, a new Corvin page is very nigh

Autumn sketches revisited

To keep the tradition I started last year alive, just before autumn is over.

Firstly, a Lord Corvin sketch inspired by the Inktober initiative on Facebook - check it out here if you haven't! I believe he's shouting here for more pace in drawing, so that he can finally appear in Chapter 3.

Secondly, two pieces from our monthly Drink & Draw sessions, where the pros hammer out five or more drawings with ease, while I'm happy to produce two decent ones, such as

Ser Rodrik Cassell from A Game of Thrones

and a so-called vendigork

Finally, a piece called "The role of the artist through the ages", with a little current political twist in the last panel.
