When Alex Von Tolmacsy’s free-handed ship art hit the Stylus Discord chat, I knew I had to feature them. That topmost image is straight fire.
Alex’s pulpy, sci-fi starship art is hot fire.

Sven Ruthner, aka Ptoing, dropped another of his amazing, limited color pixel pieces. We’re goading him into putting it on a tee. I want to wear those things. Often. On my body.
Ptoing was an original member of the old Stylus art collective almost ten years ago now. This new iteration has a Discord chat for members.
Join it, join us, share, critique, promote, and make some work!
More Stylus work. Lots of folks showing up. Over a hundred new members to the forum/chat in a day.

Collective compatriot Dom2D made this amazing Spelunky print. So you should buy it. Now.
No, seriously.
I made a Discord chat server and a site to promote artists and art!
Discord: https://discord.gg/0uN4j1WpYjh308wf
Stylus Art Collective: http://styl.us
So, yeah, Stylus is a new art collective and that chat is how you can participate. I used to run a private art forum ages ago, but keeping the forum software up to date was awful. Discord makes sharing easy.

After a day spent drawing character art for clients, I decided to unwind by… drawing some character art.
Over 90 new Manga Studio brushes! Reblog for a chance at a free set! Download them here.
This latest update contains new paints, pencils, and inkers with a focus on adding textured, gritty painters and expanding the core set of tools.
For the core tools, inking brushes, nibs, brush pens, pencils, pastels, charcoals, oils, and acrylics have been added.
For the advanced tools, painterly brushes with impasto canvas, wash, sponge, leather, and other textures were mashed together to create the most realistic tools for concept art and coloring I’ve offered yet.
The Grimy Gus brush family offers realistic textures and mixing with an emphasis on creating paintings that feel like chunky, old acrylic paintings the likes of which adorned ‘80s action figure box art.
Bristle Bob takes that formula and emulates wispy bristles for an even more varied and textured surface.
Sloppy Sam, Sponge Bub, and Filthy Frank push the impasto textures even further and provide extreme texture variance for some of the most analog looking strokes I’ve ever been able to create digitally.
A partial list of the updates can be found below:

Some of my MST3K concept art has hit the wild over on the Kickstarter page. Here’s my first stab at Bobo as a puppet.
Plans called for an Aliens-style loader to hide an actor when Bobo needs to move around the set. That was my task. Bobo as a puppet, a loader to cart him around in.
The Kickstarter is perilously close to it’s 12 episode goal. Please support us if you like MST3K and have the means!
No app inks like Manga Studio 4 or 5. Not even close.
Here’s a free wash brush for Manga Studio.
It’s not available anywhere else. I have about fifty brushes ready to add to my big brush set as a free update for existing users soon. This will be one of them.
Make something!
My figures begin as a center line and three triangles. If they work, so will the rest. I don’t see others use triangles.
Boxes and cylinders never worked for me, sketch mannequin wise. The triangles are less obtrusive and more open. Or something.
I think I’d like Superman a lot more if he, like, actually looked like an alien.
