Art of Nick Welch

I Started reading the Hellboy comics again this week. The art in those is some of my personal favorite. I absolutely love Mike Mignola's inks. His art style is what inspired this drawing. Recently I have been reading a bunch of short stories by H.P. Lovecraft and I am thinking about trying to make a comic book adapted from one of his stories. I think "The Thing on the Doorstep" would be a good place to start. But my dream would be to do "At the Mountains of Madness". Anyway, thanks as always for checking my stuff out! I hope you enjoyed it!  

I came up with the idea for this painting from a couple of different ways. The first was a song I heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDkjLpbEUZk Pretty funny right? That song I think spoke well to me because of where I am right now in my life. I go to school at Brigham Young University Idaho. I try to play it cool but as a 26-year-old unmarried man I feel a lot of pressure from a lot of sources to find a wife and settle down and get married. I want to get married and have a wife sure, but it’s finding the wife that I don’t want to do. I just hate Mormon dating so much. Everyone makes such a huge deal out of every little thing. If you ask a girl out people start asking about where things are going and what is going on with you two and blah bla bla. You don’t have much privacy in a singles ward. You don’t have much privacy at BYU-I either. When a relationship ends word gets around fast. I don’t know about most of you but breakups for me have nev

Hellboy character portrait.

This was so fun. I did a figure drawing from a screenshot of the Movie "300". The pose was so great and i loved the dynamic lighting, so instead of just putting him in a leather diaper like he was in the movie, I decided that he needed to be Spider-man.

I think this is my favorite way to do a figure drawing.

Figure Drawing, started with a charcoal crayon line drawing and did an ink wash over the top of it.

From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!

The Last, Son.... Of Krypton.

Ray Stantz knows whats up.

It's lonely out in space.

Sorry for the long absence. Never again will I leave you. I did this one for a friend.
