CREATURES of the NIGHT card #1. COLEY COCHRAN (2019).
Added 2024-10-05 18:43:36 +0000 UTCGood morning, my beautiful Patrons.
While you wait for more of this month's all-new artwork, comics and other goodies to drop, I'm very pleased to share CARD 1 of the CREATURES OF THE NIGHT DIGITAL COLLECTOR'S CARD SET.
This card features JOHN BLACKBURN'S COLEY COCHRAN and some very nasty cultists!
I drew this illustration way back in 2019 as a Lumniary reward. I haven't drawn COLEY since, but I've always sorta liked the "Hero in Peril" element of this illustration.
I admit, this one is older and makes me sorta cringe in some ways. Man, I have a tough time looking at my old artwork. I tend to be critical of my work, but I need to learn to appreciate the essence of each piece. I feel this one truly captures the spirit of Halloween.
Enjoy the card, my friends. I have SO MUCH to share with you this month... it's gonna be a CRAZY FUN OCTOBER!!! So STAY TOONED... and be on the lookout for more CREATURES OF THE NIGHT cards!
ILLUSTRATION / DESIGN: Patrick Fillion
COLORS: Cabrera & Fillion

Ha I remember requesting this art work! You must do him again and again and again!!! We need more poses. It's hard to tell how hot he is from this angle.

2024-10-07 16:46:34 +0000 UTCABSOLUTELY! It's not a question of "it's old, so I hate it" or anything, honestly. It really is a case of how much digital drawing technique I've picked up in the years since I drew this image. There are days I wish I could go back and redraw all those old pieces with the skills and tools I possess now, but that would be a COLOSSAL waste of time! LOL! I think it's best to respect the path we've traveled as artists, and appreciate the essence of a piece, despite its technical flaws, and just enjoy it for what it is. Best to keep looking forward and to learn something new with every illustration I draw, I figure. Artists are NEVER done learning... anyone who tells ya differently is mistaken at best, and quite DELUSIONAL at worse! LOL! Thanks so much for the love and kind words, my friend. As always, it's greatly appreciated! XOXO ๐๐๐๐

2024-10-07 16:46:03 +0000 UTCLOL! It's so true that over the years, I've inundated you guys with countless illustrations -- so it's a real compliment to hear that this one's made such an impression on you! Thanks so much, dear Andrew!! ๐๐๐๐

2024-10-06 01:08:40 +0000 UTCI donโt think you should feel bad about being critical of your previous work, so long as that criticism has a valid basis. For example if you sitting there thinking โoh I would draw his face/cock/pec/etc differently because I learnt new techniques since I first draw thisโ thatโs fine. It means you learnt and grew as an artist and thatโs never a bad thing. If youโre just sitting there thinking โoh this looks shit cos itโs oldโ and being critical for the sake of being critical then Iโm going to send Diablo around to slap you in the face with his giant red dong until you come to your senses. ๐ I mean I think it still looks great ๐ ๐

2024-10-06 01:06:16 +0000 UTCI think you did an awesome job. I remember this image from the first time, so it must be special - even my Rolodex memory canโt recall every one of your 10s of thousands of images

2024-10-05 19:01:34 +0000 UTCWell, I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to do Coley 2024. ๐ I will definitely look through the archives!

2024-10-05 18:58:34 +0000 UTCThat's really sweet, Jocko -- ๐๐ -- I think it's just that I tend to look at my older artwork from the point of view of "how would I draw it, today?". Inevitably, it's never how I did it originally! HA HA HA! But I'm really so happy you're enjoying this Coley piece so much -- that makes me feel so good! Make sure you search through my posts for his original postings. There are lots of other versions. Enjoy the discovery!! XOXO ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

2024-10-05 18:54:38 +0000 UTCIt really is such a pleasant surprise. I know you say that you're critical of your older work but unless you were to come up with some sort of tweak that I can't think of, I'm not sure how you improve upon the perfection of this art. I mean, you can throw in more abs or more detail in the flow of his blonde hair or something, but if this were a poster, I would be hard pressed to refuse buying it. โบ๏ธ๐

2024-10-05 18:51:23 +0000 UTCLOL! So glad I could surprise you like this, Jocko! I love Coley and I felt that I absolutely needed to include him in this set. I love how happy it's made you to see him here! Enjoy him with my compliments. XOXOX ๐๐๐๐ And thank you so much for the very sweet compliment, by the way! It's much appreciated. ๐โค๏ธ

2024-10-05 18:49:25 +0000 UTCOMG...COLEY?!?!? Patrick, I have almost all the Coley graphic novels! Never in my life did I think I would see you draw John Blackburn's sexiest creation! But I am so glad! I dare say that looks more like the Coley in my imagination! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
