Apologies for the brief disappearence, I often spend days at a time away from an internet conection. Anyway...This is the cover art for my first mini comic and my first sequential project in my true, original style, which will be done in time for the Birmingham International Comics Show this October.

Quickie for Grant while at work, the photoshoping is bad, but had real work to do!

Another Hurricane Kids character, the powerhouse Mister Minus (NOT Mr. Minus). This is the modern day version of him. Like my previous post, the black chunks at the top and bottom were more for design purposes and less a reflection of any lighting.

I'm working on my first graphic novel. Its called Nocturnal and I'm writing and illustrating/coloring it. I hope to have it done by spring next year and will most likely self publish it. The story involves a gravedigger named Lincoln Basher. Think of a mix of the x-files meets Blade in the 1950's. Here is a wip of the cover so far. I'll be providing updates regularly.

Potential cover layout

I'd appreciate feedback...

I lost my pencil brushes in Painter, and just started bombing out!I need to go back and study how to draw!

Another character from The Hurricane Kids. Dr. Malcolm O'Donnel. He's the Jason Bourne/ Sherlock Holmes/MacGuyver/Eco-Terrorist of the bunch. He's also the brains of the group.

Just some doodles...Hulk with a headache and some evil lookin chick. Traditional with red col-erase pencil and .5 lead pencil.

Another member of the Hurricane Kids. I like this laid back look for him. Crumbly Rocky Hands Guy.

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.

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.

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.
