Emerald City Blues

Hey you guys, if you like alternate takes on the world of Oz here's something for you. It's not my work but it's pretty darn cool. I just met "Komic Karl" fairly recently and he's a great guy with tons of art skills and he's actually not a bad writer either.



Check it out! It's all that and a bag of chips... with the dip!!! http://komickarl.deviantart.com/gallery/#Emerald-City-Blues

More slingshot

I revised the look of this character to make her a bit more flamboyant and regal... plus I included a few clichés just incase you weren't sure of her heritage :)


final revised look


early concept

Slingshot concept designs

It's been a while since I last posted (again) but I'll try to keep this blog updated more frequently from now on.
Here are a few of the character designs I did for Dan Morrow's "Slingshot" I'll post more art from this project as it develops as long as it's okay with Dan.

Redd Figure w/ flightpack

I finished this a while ago but never posted it. It's the same Redd Rocket figure now complete with her flightpack. Check out that light-up action and she can even stand and support its weight.

There are also a few shots of the hand mod that I added. The older shots had her holding the gun using an invisible rubberband but I went in and added articulation so that she could grip things.

I think it's pretty cool.

Redd Rocket custom figure

All done now, with the exception of her flight pack. It took a little while for me to figure out what to use to make it. I'm almost done with it now. I just need to get around to painting it.

Redd Rocket Figure WIP 3

Here are a few more in progress shots including a before and after comparison.

Redd Rocket figure WIP 2

Here I have purposely handled the figure and moved it around a bit to test the paint job and look for joint rub. I'll need to go back in and touch up many areas of paint. I have also started sculpting the body details too. After I detail her paint I will seal the figure with a matte sealer. The rest is mostly gear and accessories. My next big challenges will probably be constructing her flight pack and finding (or sculpting) a raygun.

Redd Rocket figure WIP

I decided to try my hand at some action figure customizing. Even though I used to customize my toys all the time as a kid this is probably my first serious attempt at making an existing figure into something else, particularly one of my original creations. I started with a She-Hulk figure. This is still a work in progress but I am happy with my progress so far.

Darth Talon

A little digital painting I started over a month ago. Just messing around. I doubt I'll ever go back to it at this point.
