Goblin comic rough sketch
Here’s another couple of panels from my comic for an upcoming anthology, Love and Monsters. I really like how the hatching and cross hatching are turning out.
The kickstarter for the anthology will be launching soon!
Goblin Breakfast
Hey there! Here are 4 panels from an upcoming anthology I am working on with my artist collective, Apocalobster. The theme is Love and Monsters, and we will be launching a Kickstarter campaign to publish it in a month or so. We will have comics, music, stickers, shrits and so much more. These panels are from my comic (as of yet untitled) about a goblin who falls in love and depict a goblin breakfast. Stay tuned for more sketches and updates on the project. l will definitely be posting links to the Kickstarter once it begins :)

Orbs of Power Issue #1 Cover
I am beyond excited to present the Orbs of Power Issue 1 cover! I made this using a program called Art Rage, which I highly recommend. It’s mostly digital oil paint with digital watercolor for the sky. It has been a challenge, but overall I’m pleased.
Right now I am preparing the first issue for print and I hope to have it printed today!

Side Quest: Portrait
Hey there! Here is another side quest-a portrait of two of my closest friends and their adorable kitty. I did this at request for Valentine’s Day. It’s hand inked and colored with watercolor pencils, which turned out alot better than I thought. I did the beard and the cat in regular colored pencils, too.
P.S. if you want a custom portrait or illustration, just send an email to vmshields@gmail.com or post a comment on the site!
Side Quest: Logo Design
Recently I was asked to create a logo for my brother in-law, who wants to start giving voice lessons. I based this design on a previous one where I combined the treble clef with a standing bass. Obviously, this time I merged it with a face. The curly bit ended up looking like an ear in my initial sketches, so I just ran with it. It took a few tries to ink this properly and get all the curves right, but I think it turned out well.
P.S. Want a drawing or logo of your own? Send me an email or comment on the site!

Thanks to everyone who has been reading. I will begin work on issue #2 soon, after I do a bit of concept art. But you can look forward to some fighting, some answers, and a new character!

Wait…Anuket knows Nekron? Drama!
This page is one of the more risque things I’ve ever done (besides Chicken Head Tricks) but I think it turned out well. Only one more page to go before the end of Issue #1. I will be inking it today and working on the full color cover, too!
