73rd Post!

Heroes Con (in North Carolina) Table 1630 in Artist's Alley. June 19-21!

68th post!

It's only been like 6 months since my last update here. oops! I am creating and posting new art almost weekly though on my Kickstarter campaigns. So if you want to see new art, just check out those campaigns when they're live (once they're over, they only for backers of the projects to see.:))

anyway...here's some new art I've posted there recently:

These were all art rewards that backers of my latest Kickstarter campaign are receiving.

Also a lot of my comics are now available digitally on Comixology!. 4 issues of Brandi Bare and the first issue of Hopeful Spring! Check them out here: comixology.com

57th Post!

Back home from Heroes Con and rested a bit. Thought I'd post a few of the convention sketches I remembered to take pictures of.  (though there's always a bunch I forget about).

 Copic Marker sketch cover of Batgirl

 Retro Rocket girl...so I put Brandi in there :). copic markers (watercolor background)

 Jun from Gatchaman. Drawn by Gene Gonzales, colored by me. First official commission where I did the coloring on someone else's drawing. Very cool! (copics/watercolor background)

 Poison Ivy, watercolor

 Powergirl, copics (watercolor background)

 Teen Titan girl (whose name I can't remember :)) copics in a sketchbook

Golden Age Wonder Woman (copics/watercolor background)

Thanks again to everyone that stopped by and got sketches, picked up books or just chatted. Heroes is always the friendliest convention. it's always great to see everyone there. :)

54th Post!

I've been a little lax on updating lately. sorry! :) (I've been busy with a few new things I can't show yet though.)

here's a couple random pieces....

Issue #1 of Brandi Bare signed for someone named Brandi...how cool is that?

 A couple recent watercolors...

And a copic maker Wonder Woman on watercolor paper.

Commissions!

here's a couple recently finished commissions. both were watercolor on 9"x12" watercolor paper.

first up Scarlett and Baroness from G.I. Joe. (I've been a gi joe fan since I was a kid, so I always enjoy drawing these girls.)

and a couple progress pics:
starting with the digital sketch

then pencils:

then inks (brown and black faber castell pens)

And another commission...this time Gwen Stacy and Carnage. I've drawn Mary Jane and Venom before but never this combination so it's always great to draw new things:

and a few progress pics (same tools as for baroness/scarlett)

and the first digital sketch was Gwen and Venom. why? because apparently I wasn't paying enough attention. And that's why it's always important  to send progress pics while working on commissions. just to make sure you haven't drawn the wrong character by mistake ;)

here's the fixed up gwen/carnage sketch:

and next up, pencils and inks:

Watercolors!

A few watercolor commission rewards I did for a friend's (successful) Kickstarter project.
the-ultimate-7-vol-1-graphic-novel

Here's a Princess Leia 11x15 piece:

and a piece with the golden age Catwoman and the 90's Catwoman. (9x12)

and a few of the main character "Jenny" from the Ultimate 7 comic:

(All 4 Jenny watercolors were 9x12 and using costumes from various scenes in the story.)

43rd Post!

Just a little Joker and Harley Quinn love...

first up a *very* quick digital sketch :). I did this one real fast a week or two ago when I had the idea, but didn't have the time to work on it. So I just threw this down in photoshop, knowing when I saw it again, I'd remember to finish it up someday.

here's the cleaned up digital sketch:

Next up is are the pencils (col-erase to be exact):

Here's a couple in progress shots of the watercolors:

and then I forgot to take any more photos while working on it :).
here's the finished photo:

and a scan:

This one was done at 11x15 size on canson watercolor paper.

42nd Post!

Here's a commission I recently finished.

She's based off an anime character...whose name I can't remember right now :).
Art was done with acrylics and watercolor. 11x17 on comic art paper

Started with the digital sketch...

then printed that out and using my lightbox, traced it onto the 11x17 paper. (using col-erase pencils, of course)

and here's a few photos of the painting in progress...

and a close up of the finished piece (the pink in the background is a favorite color of mine, but it's too bright for the scanner to pick up).

38th Post!

In the spirit of the end of the world...(that's still happening, right?)

first up, the digital sketch in photoshop...

next up the pencils (done with col-erase pencils)

then I did some inking...

and finally some colors. Copic Markers on our model and watercolors for the zombies.

Hope everyone has a nice apocalypse!
