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.

Seeing REDD

Most of you guys that check out my blog have probably seen this character before, although I never posted her here. I went for more of an animation style on this one. It didn't come out exactly as planned but I'm pretty happy with it.

Old Glory

I found this old Captain America from August 2000 the other day. I just thought I'd share. It appears it got wet somewhere along the way... that's what those specks are. I just didn't feel like cleaning it up.

Red, White, and Blue (Finally!)

By popular demand I finally colored that Captain America... well, technically I didn't. I grew tired of the old sketch and decided to start from scratch. Although I think this is a better composition and has more of the characters spirit, I'm not totally satisfied. I'm pretty happy with the colors on this one but once I did color it I noticed a few flaws in the figure. It's also a bit stiff if you ask me.

"Size matters not"

I drew this in somebody's convention sketchbook on Friday. He's a big Star Wars fan. I don't think I've drawn Yoda since there were only three SW movies... maybe two.

"The Thundercats are loose!" "And we're gonna loosen your bones for ya too."

I found myself in a Panthro mood today. I was just going to sketch and mess around but found myself playing on Photoshop until the coloring was complete. So, even though I had originally planned for Captain America to be the first coloured peice Panthro beat him to the punch. I think J.Ho in particular will appreciate this one (yeah, take that Bootleg. Who's drawing 80's toy inspired cartoons now?). Ahem, But I do have to give J.Ho props, his work inspired me to do this in the first place. There's also a little bonus in there... while I was sketching I ended up with a decent little Cheetara head... um that's not meant to be dirty.

God save the Queen

Well as it turns out I managed to find some time to sketch today at lunch. I did this one with my good friend and collaborator Josh in mind.

The Angel

Working overtime including over the weekend has resulted in me having No new stuff for this week yet. So, here's an oldie for you guys to enjoy.

Sketchin' all over the country Part deux

This one shouldn't come as a shock to anyone who knows me well. It was only a matter of time before this guy made his way on to the "sketchblog". I drew these two on my way back to L.A. in turbulence mind you... Turbulence! Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed drawing it.


SHORT EARS!


Don't worry, I plan to get some color on here soon. Don't forget to check out my LINKS

Sketchin' all over the country.

Well, some might find these a refreshing departure from muscle bound guys in tights, and some maybe a little disappointed but nonetheless, I sketched some portraits while I was visiting my friend KeVonne in Virginia (by the the way there are pictures in the "Virginia Trip" Blog in my LINKS section). Yes actual real, live people that don't thwart crime. At least I don't think they do. Is there anything else in the world to thwart besides crime?... just wondering.

Bird Brain

I am finally back from my trip to Virginia (I plan on creating a blog with vacation photos soon). I have a few sketches to post but it is late so I'll strech it out over a couple of different posts. As for this post; I'm not sure if it was all the flying or what but this really rough sketch of Hawkman was the first thing I drew on the plane on my way out to VA. Hawkman used to be one my favorite slghtly obscure characters when I was younger. He was on one of the incarnations of the Superfriends... I think it was "Challenge of the Superfriends" and I had a comic with him and Hawkgirl solving some cool mystery on a rainy night. Anyway, for some reason I've recently found myself becoming fond of the character again for some reason. He has a great, classic costume. I think we might see some more Hawkman drawings sometime soon. By the way I'm a little rusty so bear with me. I'm sure some of these pieces will start to become a little cleaner as time goes by and I get back into the swing of things.

Not so Red, White, and Blue (yet)

Okay, so here's a little teaser of my in progress Cap piece. I'll be out of town for a week, so we won't see any updates at least until Jan. 15 at the earliest.

In the beginning...

Welcome to my "Sketchblog". I will be updating this space weekly (hopefully) with sketches and maybe some more finalized pieces of my artwork.
