Hello all...I'm David Salinas. I'd like to say thanks for the invite to participate in this sketch blog. It's awesome to be included with such a talented group of artists. Here is my first entry. Many more to come...

Some character designs for The Hurricane Kids from last year. Last night I decided to try out some new hair styles for Sarah's character, only to realize I like the way I've been drawing it for the last 5 years still the best. That's the funny thing about me and character design is that I am almost always happy with my first try, and rarely, very rarely on a creator owned book have I had to do multiple takes. Maybe that's a flaw, who knows...




*also, I'll be taking the weekend off most likely, but I'll be back on Monday.

Cody - 008

Random character design for one of the umpteen ideas I have floating in my little brain.

Mister Minus, of The Hurricane Kids. The way I draw this character changed dramatically after seeing the pin-up the great Mike Hawthorne drew of him for the self published Hurricane Kids #0 book back in 2005.

Sorry for not keeping up, I was moving this weekend. Here is some promo art for the Phoenix Cactus Comic-con for January 2009. It's for the ticket so I needed space for text/graphics on either side. This one was both easy and fun.

Very rushed sketch, after I had been at the bar for a few hours, our team got 2nd again on trivia night, and another $20 in free bar cash, so it was a good night.

Another one suggested by my friend and writer Grant Alter. Check out his debut in Image Comic's Popgun Volume 2.

Starting Fresh.

Start your engines!

Script pages have started coming in for an upcoming book I will be working on for Image comics, hopefully the book will be out in early 2008, probably about March by now. Here is a random sample of 2 panels, I'm doing a new process with this book where I pencil the pages loosely on standard paper, scan them in , enlarge them to full size and I'll be inking digitally, hopefully this will speed up my production time, since I plan to work on this and a sequel to Villains at the same time. Wish me luck.

HULK! 10 Minute sketch

My second favorite character to draw.

I inked Ringo!

Not professionally but it was still fun and a great way to learn new skills. The original is here.

Ha!

CBR has posted all 100 covers to the "Ultimate 100" charity series for HERO Initiative. They credited me as Rich Cody. Oh well, I'm in good company. I'm in the sixth row up from the bottom. Thanks again to Mike Malve at Atomic Comics for inviting me to be a part of this.

DOC OCK INKED!

Done all with a PITT brush pen, not too happy with it and I've taken some liberties with shading, etc. It was fun though.
