Well,
My brother, Impwerx, has struck again. This time dabbling in the world of portraits and not coloring other people’s line art. This is pure Impwerx original. Here is what he said:
A brief stint into the world of portrait work. Something about this piece really appeals to me, yet strangely I don’t know what it is exactly. About 6 hours or so in photoshop. Standard default brushes, and the texture is the concrete near my house.

Well, my brother has managed to eek out some coloring time and has posted another piece on his deviantART page.
So i tried to knock some rust off my coloring talent. As suggested before I tossed some names into my kangol and pulled one out. It was Randy Green’s Hell Girl piece that got the magic touch. Anyone can see the pro talent if you look through his gallery. There is a high level of control and style he consistently exhibits. I highly recommend looking through his work, as there is a wealth of information for would be pencillers to digest.You can just never go wrong with a hellboy, or in this case a hellgirl theme. The series itself is moody and inventive. I came at this piece with a theme. Heat. Everything about this idea of hot, and heat haze is where i was going. Looked at a camp fire the other night to get the idea for the BG. It is entirely self made, which represents a bit of achievement for myself as like most, I tend to pay little attention to the background and instead focus on the main element itself. I tried to get it all in balance to my satisfaction, without sacrificing any of the imagery.Linework : Randy Green : link

Well, my brother has put up another piece of coloring work. He’s taken on another one of Defected Angel’s pieces. A link to the original can be found here
My brother has posted another piece he has colored on his deviantART site. To see the Defected Angel’s original piece my brother used as his source, click here.
My brother never ceases to amaze me. His talents are always growing in regards to his artistic talent.
His latest endeavor is carving. He creates molds out of whatever he finds laying around and then pours Plaster of Paris into them creating the stock material he will work with. Then he carves it with sharp instruments. I have seen some of his finished pieces and they look like they are made out of stone.
In reference to the blog Rollerbat 2006, my brother had the following commentary that he initially provided as a comment on the article in question. I thought it was an excellent retort and deserved a place in the front where it can get the attention it deserves:
There are several matters that you have glossed over in your rather lean and anti-septic description of “Rollerbat”
- Its Roll – a – bat. “Rollerbat” as you have it listed seems to imply there would be some kinda roller skates involved. And possibly batting or in the very least something bat and/or guano related. While thats a cool sounding game(perhaps played by bulky Germanic wimmin with clubs) i feel compelled to give you a B+ on memory retention. It neglects the robust history of the name of the game. Roll at a bat. Roll-a-bat.
- The reason that when we were younger fights erupted was because the rules were looser when we were kids. Hitting a fly ball that clips the tops of the trees, careens of two buildings and get caught by someone is frustrating. As children the rules seem to perfectly accept running down the field with the bat, and beating the crap out of the catcher. Everything dies down and the game continued on. Which only enhanced play. The catcher is thinking….you know i’m going to run across the yard jump the steps, and hurdle the hedges to get that buttheads next pop fly. As a game it promotes athletics, tumbling, good cardio vascular health, and coping skills, as well as its own unique talents and skill parameters. ( hitting a ball that you plan to bounce off two houses, and drop behind the dog pool on the wet side…is not easy and requires highly tuned motor skills and a fair amount of the right stuff) The game on the other hand is not endorsed by the National Coalition of Parents In Support of Peacful Backyard Games Foundation L.L.C. So care should be exercised before launching yourself into a strict regime to make the Multi-National-Roll-a-Bat All-Star Olympic Try Outs in November. It’ll be on E.S.P.N. 8 “The ocho” the whole month.
- The game is flexible and has a multitude of applications limited only by the inventors mind. Example A: I throw a cold beer into the air. The Swedish Bikini and Oil Wrestling Diva squad tries to catch it. Oh the dilemna ! Will Svenka catch the hurtling beverage!? *gasp* Drama ! Intrigue ! Action Romance ! Stay tuned for the next episode of Beerman all you beerfans. Same beertime….same beer channel. ! See and that is just off the top of my head. You could play Volley-bat. Soccer-bat. Xtreme Snoboardin-a-bat. Look for that in the X games. Also on “the Ocho”.
- This is too long and with my screen up to its highest resolution, i get this itty bitty box to type in. I feel like I’m trying to label the Constitution on the side of an asprin bottle with a No. 2 Pencil.
- Typos and grammar mistakes free of charge. I look at my hands when i type not the screen and with the text window at that size, there is no way I’ll go back and edit.
Here is another wonderful example of my brother’s skills with coloring illustrations. The original line work was done by a person who goes by the screen name: DenisM79. The original artwork my brother worked from can be found here.

I have a very talented brother when it comes to the ways of the ink and pen. I have provided to the right one of his favorite pieces. He drew and colored this piece.
I will try to showcase other pieces of his. You can click the image to see a larger version
