A quick panel from the upcoming Hurricane Kids book I'm working on. The final will be colored differently. This is probably my favorite way to draw a profile, big and powerful.
Oh I forgot I can directly upload to blogger from the host and not from my flickr. Since I deleted my last flickr, my account is full, I have to buy another pro account one of these days. I also did this really fast, and recorded the screen while I was doing it, but the video came out messed up. I need to find a better screen capture program.
Today's SJ is a couple older character designs I did back in 2006 probably, on a project with a writer and friend. It never worked out, as did the other project we worked on together, but I'm sure one day we may do something. He's currently in an editor position so all of his creator-owned stuff has taken a back seat for now. The designs were fun though, and right up my alley.
Okay, so I may be stupid, but I just figured out that I can alter the pen pressure sensitivity for my wacom in PS and Flash. The lines still look cleaner in Flash of course, so I digitally inked this bit of Alan Davis and added some colors with a custom PS brush. It was fun if not a great inking job.
I am making these into t-shirts after the posters that Shepard Fairy has done of Obama. Since I see those everywhere I thought I would make one of someone I liked.
Here are the Fantastic Four cards I did for the HERO Initiative. I think they are going to be randomly inserted into an FF book by Marvel and Rittenhouse publishing.
A wolverine sketch I did last night during the Marvel/HERO Initiative Drink and Draw sponsored by Atomic Comics. Had a great time, I'll post the FF cards tomorrow. Pic taken with my camera, sorry.
Something Grant and I are working on, its hush hush for now, but here is a character design from it. Keep you posted. Body is way to long, and there needs to be alot more fine tuning.
Some old character designs from early 2007. The project never worked out, they offered a great plan, but it was not plausible and they wanted a more manga approach anyway.
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.
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.
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.
