33 Hours Later...

After survivng 24 hour Comics Day I do still have the urge to draw. As I relax for a bit and get my mind back into regular mode I decided to do some loose sketching with my Tombo brush markers. This is just a rough Batman from my sketchbook... nothing special.

I believe that the comics we worked on this year will be posted online at some point, and when I get that information I'll post a link.

Redd Rough

I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been sketching a lot and working on pages for Lost Rights. I will probably post some of that stuff soon. I have decided that I will mostly post sketches and rough work on here and the more finished pieces will be on my deviantART page.

This is just a quick sketch of my character Redd done with a red pen and a little bit o Sharpie. Um, yeah... the ghetto booty was not on purpose, but ah well, it stays. :D

Natural Soul

Loose Bat

Just a really rough doodle I did while working on pages for LOST RITES.

Kinetic

A recent drawing of my original character Kenetic in action.




Kinetic is ©2007 me, so hands off... that means you.

The Solution: JUNKMAN & SABRA

These are the lineart for two characters that I submitted into an "artjam" on deviantART. The details of the jam and all the posts including my full color versions of these two can be found here.

Disco Queen

Oliver again, but this time with a twist.

I was messing around and dedcided to finally color this Green Arrow. There are some problems but it was just a rough sketch and I'm satisfied with it.

Flower Power

This is the preliminary sketch for a painting that I have posted on my deviantART page. It is based on a photograph of model Vishani taken by my good friend Bazille

Leo

Here's a tattoo design that I did for my sister. Yeah, she's pretty brave I guess. It wasn't totally my idea. I basically took elements that she wanted and aranged and rendered them in what I thought was a tasteful design. I know they'll have to omit some of the detail.

I'll post the actual tat when she saves up enough and finds a good place to get it done.

Condiment Girl

This is Condiment Girl. She belongs to Volt-reborn my buddy over on deviantART. I did her as part of an art trade. He did the Redd in the previous post. His original deviantArt post is here.
My FULL COLOR deviantART Condi post is here.

Volt's Redd -Guest Artist Post

I don't usually post other people's work on my blog but I had to share this one. Volt-reborn on deviantART did this pin-up of my character Redd -everyone's favorite Rocket girl ;) as part of an art trade that we agreed upon. I'll post my contribution as soon as I do it. He's got some pretty cool stuff if you get a chance check him out over at deviantART

Shishkerine?

Well in my efforts to draw something just for fun every day I sometimes fall a little short or just make no sense at all. With that said I have no idea why this little sketch that I did to commemorate my 100th hit (or pageview) on DeviantArt is of Logan with a "Wolver-kebab". Anyway, if you have some time shoot on over to D.A. and check out my gallery. There are a few repeats but a lot of it is different than what is here.

By the way it's just a quick little sketch but I'm bothered by his arm other than that it's decent I guess. Hmmm, maybe two elbows in one arm is an interesting mutation that no one has used before.

World's Finest

I just got this image in my head the other day. I'm not sure why. I imagine Batman finding some kind of clues that lead him to where ever he is now. He realizes the scope of this mystery and contacts Supes who is just arriving. I wanted to keep it simple and clean and show the contrast between these two. If I get around to coloring it I'll try to maintain that approach. I'm pretty content with this one, I think my Superman needs work though.

The Slayer

What can I say. I'm hooked. I bought the boxed set of this show and I am now a fan. It's actually like a drug in a way. If you've never seen it or read anything by Joss Whedon google his name and give something a try. Oh by the way It's Sarah Michelle Gellar AKA "Buffy" in case you couldn't tell.

Get Loose

Well, let's face it. That last Spidey kinda sucked. Well I had a fairly crappy day today and decided to just come home and not think too much. I figured I'd take another crack at Spider-Man. I'm much happier with this one even though some may find it messy that is what I like about it. This kinda of loose gestural drawing is usually relaxing and is a good warming up excercise. Using just the pen and no pencil also makes you think a bit more about form even if you don't care so much about the stray lines like I have here. I actually scribbled extra uneccessary lines just because it was fun. By the way if someone is reading this please feel free to leave comments. I appreciate any comments including critisism. At least that way I know someone actually looks at this crap.

Something was bugging me...

It's been a while since I made a post. I've been busy drawing a lot but not too much that I can post here, and some of my little rough doodles would just be a waste of space I think. Here's a quick little Spidey just because. I'm kinda whatever about this one. It's boring and pretty unoriginal in pose and style.

"To Infinity and Awaaaay!" or maybe " Up, Up and Beyond!"

Honestly I just couldn't think of a good title. So here we have two Redd Rocket posts in a row. I decided to go with a more simplified style on this one. I think it works but just doesn't really get that sexyness across. Hopefully it has a sort of Saturday morning feel to it. It's not quite the same as my previous animation inspired R.R. post but it has some elements that I think work better. I'd like to find a happy medium between the two. I kinda prefer the "attitude" of the previous one.

Fly Air Redd

Well here we have another Redd Rocket. This one was a request. You know who you are. I have a couple more that I plan to post that are in the more "animated" style. I'm very happy with the way this one turned out. It looks like a cover image to me. There isn't a whole lot of action but I think there is the hint of some action to come. In my original sketch I had her with a raygun in her right hand but decided to ditch it in order for her to be more streamlined and have more elegant body language. Hopefully she looks graceful and like she can actually fly and not appear heavy and stiff.

The Dark Knight Returns (plus bonus)

Well I know it's been over a month. Fear not! I have returned... but don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years. What? Okay now that that's out of the way. Here's a typical Batman sketch from me that I decided to color in Photoshop basically just so that it was a little more presentable. Nothing too exciting but I'm fairly pleased with the fact that it came out pretty much as imagined. The second image is a little tease (for Josh) from the first page of my current comic project. Stay tuned more to come... I promise.
