If I'm going to create things, I might as well track progression, right?

All the 54 sketchy and colored pieces in one spot, ordered from the beginning to most recent. I'll post a billion in no time!

The image that started it all: a rough sketch of a couple of faces with a ruling nib modified Pilot parallel. One head has a noose, some fists in the foreground with a 'Billion Fists' sign held in one hand.
A couple of sketches of a cleaning service worker sitting at the table of a dead client. Very, very crude, rough sketches.
Rough sketches of a drone carrying a bag over the fence line of a palatial estate with tiny people in the distance at a garden party.
Rough sketche of two figures piloting a drone that carries a bag over the fence line of a palatial estate with tiny people in the distance at a garden party.
Rough pencil sketches of youths, one sitting cross legged and the other standing facing away. All are attempts at figures from a forced perspective of looking down at them.
Five mini concept sketches revolving around a rich person's death in their mansion.
A couple of small concept sketches about how to capture the demise of a wealthy space tourist on his way back to Earth.
Second attempt at a watercolor of a grazing pasture I pass by frequently. Picture taken in late summer.

A couple of rough sketches to practice forced perspective. The view is looking up from below a person with a piano lifted above them.
Concept sketches of people to use in a death at dinner piece. Tried to draw ghoulish ones and a pretty waitstaff person.
A couple of rough pencil sketches of a man laying on a bed seen from the back with the silhouette of a woman in the doorway in the background.
A very rushed and poorly executed forced perspective drawing of a man under a raised piano by a building with laughing faces in the window.
Rough, crude sketch of a guillotine using a modified Pilot parallel nib fashions in a ruling pen and shoved in an Opus 88 fountain pen.
A couple of sketches of a checkered taxi cab from New York. They're poorly drawn, crude. One looks like a kid did it with the wheels all funky.
A couple of concept sketches of waitstaff carrying plates and knives to a table in a restaurant. The intention is to imply the customers will be murdered.
A very rushed and poorly executed forced perspective drawing of a man under a raised piano by a building with laughing faces in the window.
Charcoal and light wash of a couple of skydivers at sunset, one without a parachute.
A couple of pen and ink with light wash concepts of a female cleaning staff dusting in the foreground while a lecherous man looks at her from the background.
A sketch of the Mission San Antonio de Padua, California mission using a ruling pen nib with a bit of wash. There's a bit of red on the roof and a blood pool in the mostly grayscale sketch.
Another watercolor attempt at a cab. This one is all watercolor and no pen, mostly of the back half of the checkered cab.
A very childish looking, crude watercolor of a lemonade (molotov) stand with a few people including a child in a stroller and person in a wheelchair. A very ugly piece.
Pen and ink wash of mansion staff going about their business, cleaning and answering the phone, while a gesture drawing lays on the couch (dead).
Two watercolor attempts at just the lemonade / Molotov stand with nothing else.
Quick watercolor color studies of a sunset skydive with one figure falling without a parachute. I need a lot of practice mixing and blending colors.
A couple of small concept sketches about how to capture the demise of a wealthy space tourist on his way back to Earth.

Two versions of a modified "The Graduate" movie poster with Dustin Hoffman replaced by a room with a dead, slumped body.
A watercolor of a bathroom vanity with a blue/white marble counter and fancy wooden cabinet. I struggled with both of those surfaces in this watercolor.
A watercolor still life of a stick blue rag, both sourced from around the house. Both painted poorly because I made the rag too difficult with folds, and failed at color control throughout the whole piece.
A still life of a Blue Diamond box of matches in the background with two red-covered books of matches in the foreground. An okay attempt. Better color than some previous pieces.
Pen and ink wash in brown of a man at a posh restaurant dinner table with a napkin tucked in his neckline. Reference image was from an Alfred Hitchcock presents still.
Three watercolor sketches of kids on bikes. A couple of them jumping bikes, and one of a group riding. Very remedial watercolor.
A pen and ink drawing of a helicopter flying away from a power plant in the distance. A rushed drawing with a mixture of permanent and water soluble black inks to create a wash with lines intact, then I added some red and yellow wash. I didn't have a plan and wanted to play with ink. This turned into a movie-poster style with the helicopter the main focus; not planned, poorly executed. Had fun with it.
A couple of watercolor sketches of lawn darts. The first one is a group of jarts with dabs of green to simulate grass. The dabs of green didn't wor out. The second one is a couple of figures in a yard throwing lawn darts. It's a bit flat, too dark and not enough shadows, and a solid attempt that I don't mind.
A couple of versions of a cityscape at night in watercolor. Way over my head. I did realize that I was trying to draw boxes and then color in the boxes. So, in that sense, I did okay. Are my renditions of a city well done? No. No they are not. A city of boxes they are.
A couple of watercolor sketches of a city skyline using descending opacity and grayscale rectangles for buildings on top of a blue to yellow gradient background. Really messy rectangles. A bit childish looking.
Second attempt at a watercolor of a gloomy Shetland seaside picture I found in a Shetland knits book. This version is of a smaller portion of the photo and includes only the right seaside rocky short in the bottom right and rolling hills in the background.
First attempt at a watercolor of a gloomy Shetland seaside picture I found in a Shetland knits book. This version has most of the pieces from the photo: rocky shoreline in the front left and right of the frame, and rolling hills in the background. Water is a deep blue gray, though I didn't capture the dreary as well as I hoped.
Third attempt at a watercolor of a gloomy Shetland seaside picture I found in a Shetland knits book. This one done in a watercolor book and spans both the left and right pages. Still didn't capture the gloomy overcast scene. I did get to use a new lavender color for the sky in all versions, which was fun.
A few sketches of a stone bench on a knoll with a large tree branch in the background. Three of the versions are with different combinations of permanent black ink and non-permanent red and browns. The bigger, fourth version is done with a black carbon pencil. All versions applied with a water brush to produce a watercolor style wash.
Black and white graphite drawing of a whale tail breaching the ocean with a boat in the distance. A water brush was applied over the carbon pencil to produce smoother textures.
A pen and ink wash of 'The Shining' elevator still frame before the doors opened and blood came out. The ink is a mix of permanent black with red and sepia, the latter used as the wash with a water brush to add a red hue over everything.
A watercolor of the elevator from 'The Shining' before the doors opened and blood came out. This version has the bottom elements fading downward, somewhat of a melting look of the chairs and black panel walls falling through the floor. Not very good interpretation.
A watercolor of a photo still of the elevator from 'The Shining' before the doors opened and blood poured out. The painting is dominated by red and black. Not a very good rendition.
Watercolor of a woodsy path with a grassy field on the right separated by a knotty wooden picket fence. First attempt.
Six little watercolor sketches of forest stuff: rocks and grass, trees and a path, and a couple of plants in my garden.
Watercolor of a woodsy path with a grassy field on the right separated by a knotty wooden picket fence. Second attempt.
Couple of sketches. One pen and ink wash of a female figure in a gown standing on stairs to a fancy event with a pile of ash next to her. The other is a black and white of stairs.
Watercolor of a flight of stairs with a burnt ashy mark on one of the landing ones. A green border wall in the background with faceless heads in the far background.
A couple of watercolor sketches of people holding a flaming Molotov cocktail. One of a dark dressed guy in a hoodie. The other a baby in a stoller with mom kneeling next to her.
Watercolor of a purple plant, about a foot tall with stem and leaves, sprouting out of a crack in the street.

Third attempt at a watercolor of a grazing pasture I pass by frequently. Picture taken in late summer. This version is pen and ink with watercolor where I went way too heavy on the watercolor and it ended up muted, muddy mess of greens.
