A quick, way too early in the morning, sketch of the battle husbands. #chreon

Line drawing of Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield, both with weapons drawn, facing opposite directions, ready to fight, on a blue watercolour background.

Kinda liking the look of the figures on the slightly textured ink wash without a proper background. #residentevil #chrisredfield #rosewinters #gouache #fanart

I've missed having enough breathing room to really focus on art. Gouache on paper, about postcard sized. #residentevil #leonkennedy #fanart

Why has it taken me about 50 million years to get back to drawing with an easel at an actual desk and not shrimp on the couch? Gonna get to painting this eventually (I have too many sketches waiting for paint...) #leonkennedy #residentevil #residentevilrequiem #fanart #sketch

Clean pencil sketch of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil Requiem

So, y'all are liking some Piers, huh? How about some traditional art? It's gonna get painted eventually but have a little sketch of the pretty boy. #piersnivans #residentevil

Dealing with some chronic health nonsense, so keeping it easy. Small palette, resting on the couch and painting a face I enjoy. #gouache #leonkennedy #residentevil

Husbands. Of course something like this would get me back to doing digital shit. #chreon

Fanart of Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield from Resident Evil. Chris is smoking, one arm sling around Leon, who's resting against him. Both are wearing wedding rings.

I don't think I'll fully be able to finish this sketchbook by my birthday, but it should be close. #leonkennedy #residentevil #painting #sketchbook #gouache

Dragged out an old A4 sketchbook that was only half finished and grabbed some long neglected ink pens to experiment a little. #residentevil #leonkennedy #fanart #sketchbook

Quick little postcard sketch. The tape I was using does not do well on textured paper. Live and learn. Not too mad about it for a little practice piece. #residentevilrequiem #residentevil #leonkennedy #gouache #gouachepainting

Small postcard sized painting of Leon Kennedy in RE9. The painting palette and paint pans are framing it.

Accidental water droplets while tinting the page turned into a cool pattern, wanted to incorporate it. Gouache in A6 watercolour sketchbook, quick study. #zeno #residentevil #residentevilrequiem

I haven't been doing any art for a while. Between feeling discouraged and just general health issues, just... Didn't have the energy. Somehow not surprised that a middle aged man who's competent and traumatised gets me back to it. #residentevil #residentevilrequiem #re9 #leonskennedy #leonkennedy

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

Getting back to it. I'm feeling rusty as hell, but I'm happy to get some art in again. So, some Warframe fanart it is. #warframe #fanart #gouache

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Bit of a throwback, but I am vibrating out of my skin waiting for the #Warframe announcements during the Game awards. My Operator and my version of Ordan Karis.

Quick screencap study to work through my #arcane feels and artblock. #fanart #digitalart

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Oh man, I haven't been here in a while. Life has gone a bit crazy and I have been nursing an injured shoulder, but I'm still drawing when I can. I have also fallen headfirst into #warframe .... so, hey, lemme come back with some WF fanart? Quick study/style exploration on Amir.

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 01/02/2024

My year started out wild and I can't believe that we're already a month in. Oh well. Hey, hi, hello, I'm still alive and still doing my thing. Here's a quick sketch during some dead time today. #goodomens

After mostly doing line drawings in this sketchbook, I decided that I might want to get back to some shading again. #fanart #sketch #sketchbook #art

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

Having fun with sketching in ballpoint again. There's something weirdly relaxing to me about not being able to erase. I know that sounds entirely backwards, but It works for me. Some Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold in Legends of Tomorrow. #sketch #sketchbook #fanart

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 15/11/2023

I don't know where I took the motivation from today, but I got a serious step further in my sketchbook sprint! Three and a half pages, six sketches, one of them with two people. I have identified some weak spots (rounded faces and open mouth smiles), which is good. Means I know what to work on.

Continuing to fill my sketchbook with different faces for practice. Con O'Neil as Izzy Hands in Our Flag Means Death. #ofmd #fanart #sketchbook

Sketchbook page with three small portrait sketches of Con O'Neil as Izzy Hands in Our Flag Means Death, done in pencil.

Continuing my sketchbook sprint (filling the rest of this sketchbook until the end of the year) with some Blackbeard. #fanart #ofmd #sketchbook

A page in a sketchbook with three different sketches of Taika Waititi as Edward Teach/Blackbeard in Our Flag Means Death.

I have a big ol' softspot for these two idiots, so today's sketchbook page was dedicated to the idiot vampire and the unintentionally badass hunter. Anyone else watch What We Do In The Shadows? #fanart #sketchbook #wwdits

Today's sketchbook practice: Sketching directly in pen for a relatively unfamiliar face. I should probably draw more gals .... #art #faart #ballpoint

HardWiredWeird @hardwiredweird.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

Drawing pretty men is my JAM in both digital and traditional!

Practicing some expressions and inking to take a break from teaching myself to paint with oils... #art #fanart #penandink

Practicing some gouache painting again. Been a while. #hannibal #fanart #art #painting

Was about time I did some proper graphite drawing again. #art #fanart #sketchbook

Inks and I haven't ever really been friends, but I'm trying to change that. #art #fanart #buckybarnes

Finished up a tiny little sketchbook painting after having had the sketch lying around for a while. Gouache in a Hahnemühle watercolour journal. #art #fanart #painting #gouache

More inking practice with warm grey Copic Multiliners. Not overly fond of the body and nib of them, but they are some of the only ones coming in warm and cool grey with a decent nib size range and they work well enough. #art #fanart #portrait
