Zardoz!!!!

Ha! I think I actually captured a likeness. Wow. Sean Connery as Zed from the fascinatingly bad Zardoz!

Another Crumb Snatcher pic

Crumb Snatchers

Did this quickly today for a friend.

Astro Luchador!!!

Arzak

Here's me trying my hand at a Moebius character.

Mr. T and Me back in the Day

Like 1990 maybe? '91? Definitely less neckage.

Moebius and Me

I met Moebius Saturday night. He was in Burbank at the CTN Animation Expo. Moebius, though quite spry, is getting up there in years. As he normally resides in France, I thought that this would probably be my only chance to meet one of my all-time favorite artists. So I  drove down south from the SF/Bay Area with one goal and only one goal in mind: to meet and get a picture with Moebius. And here it is:

Special guest appearance by my bloated neck, aka Chin 2: the Revenge. Need to work on that.

Sharp Mind

This may or may not be part of a flyer design I'm working on. Still thinking about it.

More Old Timey Stuff

The wife and I and our cats as Simpsons characters done in '07. Inked by a professional.

Old Stuff

Did this in '08. Think the Hulk could be bigger though.

Catwoman

Meow!

Cartoony Time

Just playing around with a style. Based on Paper Knight by a friend of mine.

The Order of the Triad

Doctor Orpheus: Necromancer! Jefferson Twilight: Blackula Hunter! The Alchemist: Al! All evil must tremble before the Order of the Triaaaaaad!!!!

Triana Orpheus

Another Venture Brothers character. Messed up her nose (re-did it the next day with Photoshop) and her shoes. Bit risque pose, but we are all Dean Venture when it comes to Triana. Besides, if I can't draw sexy girls what's the use of having any artistic talent to begin with, huh?

Number 21 Again

Wow! I love to draw this guy. Can't believe I forgot the wings in the last picture.

Number 21

Venture Brothers!!!!! My Number 21's kinda wonky here. Try again later.

Some Random New Sketches

Just been sketching random stuff these past fews days. Here are a few inked pieces:

Naughty bits removed to retain PG13 rating.

Cyborg Mice Meet the Primitive

Check out the Cyborg Mice a friend of mine has built a mini empire around. And here's one by me:

That's a kitten skull the Primitive is wearing. The Primitive has rejected cyborg parts and hunts those mice who have accepted life cybernetically augmented. He should wear a belt of trophy cyborg parts. Still working on the inking and the inclusion of background. Next one will be better.

Censored Giant Naked Girl (naughty bits removed for proprieties sake)

I did this piece for the comic I contributed to. It was in need of single piece illustrations and spot art ( the zombie below is another piece done for the same reason) to beef it up some. Hope this one is included as all her naughty bits will be exposed therein.

I wanted to do something Jean Giraud "Moebius" like. But (sadly) I'm no Moebius.

A Grave Matter

Another quickie. I tried for Mike Mignola. This is what came out.

Abe Sapien

High-contrast-y Abe Sapien.

Kid Flash

Did this super quick. Just drew generic speedster and it morphed into Wally West Kid Flash.

Another Panel from "i, Troll" again

Almost finished. All pencils and inks are done. Just need to add text.

Spooky.

Yet Another Panel from "i, Troll"

Very nearly done.

Another Panel from "i, Troll"

Almost done. Here's a peek.

Panel from new short

Here is a panel from the first page of my new short comic.

It's 5 pages long. It's called "i, Troll" and will be finished by the end of this month I hope.

Comic Panels Part 2

Look. I got Manga Studio and the Manga Studio for Dummies book ('cause, yeah, obviously) and I did this to my last post. I added tone and captions.

And another panel from the same comic with added tones and captions!

It's a 4 pager called "Human Contact" about love found and lost at the SDCC! With a twist! I've still got to do the last page which may take a few more days as it's the big complicate-y one. Then after that I've got a 5 page story I can't wait to start (and really need to finish by the end of September). That one's my political story and it's really really dark. But funny too. Then, I have a 2 pager based on a poem I wrote a few weeks ago after a weird ass dream about werewolves. By then I should have more short story ideas. That's what I'm focusing on right now. Short Twilight-y Zone-y style-y stories to get me doing more sequentials. The first two stories will be published in an anthology that should debut in October (just in time for the APE). I'll just keep pumping out weird little shorts until somebody loves me.

Human Contact panel

Here's a panel from a 4 page short I'm working on:

I like the Jawa. "Utinni!"

Old Stuff Again: ROM!

Still busy working on comic stuffs. In the meantime, here is a ROM piece I did a little over a year ago.

I like ROM.

Fertile Ground

Since getting back from SDCC I have been on a creative streak but, alas, that streak did not extend to this blog. Rest assured I am busy on comic projects. In response to my neglecting this blog I present here a 3 page short story I did a little over a year ago (beware: there is one very naughty word). There are flaws that stand up and scream at me when I look at this now. But it's done. And that's something. Flawed but done. I can accept that.

San Diego Comic Con

Just got back from the San Diego Comic Con where I spent lots of money (poor now), met lots of people, and saw lots of cool stuff. I even got to see the police cart away someone who lost his mind in Hall H and stabbed someone else in the face. Over a seat! And those seats are horrible! I also got to do art to help the Cartoon Art Museum in SF. But enough talk. Let's see pictures!

Look! They think I know what I'm talking about!

And the top of my head. I will remain a mystery!

My first sketch. This was for someone who pre-paid for thirty-some sketches from all the artists working the table for those four days. He left a binder with images and details of a group of anime girls with little wings and halos. His boat, it seems, is held aloft by cute girls with tiny tiny wings. I rushed through inking as I had a panel to attend and I had wasted most of my hour chatting with my booth-mate Kraig Rasmussen. Mayhap we shall work together in the very very near future. Hmmmm?

My next hour at the booth resulted in the above which actually sold!!!! 'Though, not while I was there, sadly.

After sketching Supergirl I found I had only 10 minutes left in my time slot and quickly did this only using light pencils and a brush pen. A real life professional, Brad Rader, who was there next to me sketching away, said he liked my brush work! My Brush Work! Holy Crap! This guy worked on Batman! I don't know whether Chewie sold or not but a guy who worked on freaking Batman gave me a compliment about it. It is my favorite thing and I did it in like ten minutes.

Met this girl in line for the now infamous Hall H. She is one of my heroes now. I think I love her just a little.

And slave girl Leia of the slave girl Leia horde. Who can possibly resist? Not I dear reader. Not I. The wife and I had lots of fun. Super charged with creative juice (no not the sticky kind you perv you). I loved every one of those beautiful geeks. I find myself proud to be counted as one among them.

Iron Fist

Danny Rand the Iron Fist in all his 70's glory.

Aaaand another Wonder Woman

I'll keep trying to draw Wonder Woman until I get her right! Or get bored. I call this one "Hola!" 'cause she demands it. Some of this was inked by a professional comic artist man. The good parts obviously. Those thicker lines around her limbs that actually have a form to them (thick to thin thin to thick). That's what he done. I done made her look a bit evil. As you may have noticed I like Wonder Woman. Watching Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman when I was a kid made me the man I am today. Deviant. Cosplay girls give me a funny feeling in my tummy.

What a professional can do

Look what a real inker can do! The original crazy, toys in the attic Wonder Woman from two days ago and the very same image, with a few added lines by a real life professional-type inker man, and now she's less barking MAD and more, well, normal. More sincere looking. Less hopped up on the freak pills (gotta find me some of those). Seems I still got a ways to go. A ways to go.

Mod Wonder Woman

Here she is again in her Mod look back when she learned Kung-Fu and I kid you not. She had many Mod looks during that period and this is one of them.

Old-Timey Wonder Woman

She has a crazed look on her face. Need to work on that. She can't help it when she smiles she looks insane. And that's why I drawed another one a these last night. See above.

Wonder Woman

She's a Wonder.

The 1st Doctor and his granddaughter Susan Foreman

I keep trying to do likenesses and fail but I keep doing it over and over again. One day . . . Here is the 1st Doctor and his granddaughter Susan Foreman. You will find I am a total Doctor Who geek. Sorry.

Logan

Was only a matter of time before this guy showed up here. I was tempted not to post this 'cause his left hand is so terrible but what the hell.
