Superman vs Doomsday

I did this for a contest that Blueline is doing for their sketch magazine. It took me a while to finish it and I'm thinking about coloring it too.

What's up!

Just wanted to post something, because this weeks not happening for me. I'm in the middle of buying a house and moving. I'm working on a piece that won't be seen for awhile and oddly enough it took me several days to finish it. I'm still working on it. It's much more render happy than some of the stuff you see here, but it still got me in it. I wanted to do something different and I'm liking it so far.

I'm posting some old stuff, but thought it would be cool to post anyway.

Superman Test

I draw the top two heads from Jim Lee's version of Superman and the bottom version is all me. I wanted to get a better feel for superman so I started with some references to get his face similar to the comic book. I'll be doing a Doomsday vs. Superman pinup for another challenge.

Namor

I'm starting to get the hang of this very liney (new word) type style. I'm hoping to profect it before I start pages on my new book.

Thor

Sketch challenge of the week.

New character

This is for the new project I'm working on. I'm trying to create a more mainstream style that will help to pitch my idea to Image. I'm thinking the work looks fine, but I always worry about that kind of stuff too much. I should just draw what I feel good about, which I do so far.

Wish me luck!

Female sketches

I did these for practice. My female faces have seemed a little stiff and I figured a little practice from life would help.

Grifter

Here are a few sketches I did, that I didn't think turned out too well, but sometimes you have to post the bad to remind yourself that you've got a long way to go to be where you'd like to be.

Practice on Kirby's work

I did this for fun!

Gamma-Walverine

Yeah, it isn't the best, but it took me literally five minutes to color. I had a dinner party to go to and my wife was sitting next to me while I finished coloring it. She was pretty happy that I got it done quickly, but she actually like it too. Not the best piece I’ve done, but still it isn't terrible to look at.

Evil MJ

This is another sketch chellenge. I'm still working on that new idea, but I like to keep in shape and do the sketches when ever I can.

Future Cite

This is Arazona in the future. This is a new idea I came up with for a comic, which again I'll pitch to Image. I've got all the characters designed and the story plotted out, so now I just have to write up a five page pitch to Image.

Wish me luck!

Some Cap drawings and words for the future

I'm starting to get in a flow right now and some sports enthusiast might call it the 'zone.' I'm starting to like what I'm producing and the direction my art is going. I don't know how to explain it other than that I feel good about my art.

I'm working on a new project that just popped up the other day and I'm going to look for a writer for it and then pitch it to Image. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time I'm posting some sketches of Captain America I did.

I'm working on another painting, but this time of a design all my own. I'm hoping to get it done today and start working on some pages for this new project this weekend.

Mountains

The feeling of cool and harm at the same time.

Under water

I did this to study atmosphere, among other reasons. I’m hoping to get better at painting to broaden my abilities.

City and ship after SPARTH

I painted this after a painted sparth did. I love that guys work and if you want to check it out I have a link to his blog on my links section.

Feel free to comment!

Apocalypse

This was another sketch challenge entry for the 'no prize challenge' over at Ten Ton. I think this one came out a little dark, but it isn't off topic for the character, so I guess I'm okay with it.

Full Metal Panic

Back in the swing of things and doing sketches. I got married, got rejected by Image...it has been a long month. I'm hoping to update my blog again with more happy sketches and some sequential pages I'm working on for another challenge.

Teddy Scare

Some test pages I did for Ape Ent., but I didn't get the job. No biggie, though. I'm working on my book still and about to send it to Image to see if they will publish it. If not them I'm hoping someone will.

Hulk

Did this for my parents while we were waiting for breakfast. I submitted it for a sketch challenge too.

Baroness and Stormshadow

Just a quick sketch I did, because I forgot to bring the page I'm supposed to be working on. I won't have another for a few weeks, but I'll post everything I drew on my honeymoon...or most everything.

New Avengers

Another sketch challenge entry. Along with my sequential pages I do every week I love to do quick sketches, but this wasn't so quick. I think I spent 3 hours on it, but I can't be sure. I'm doing pages for my own book, plus Ape wanted me to try out for a book they're doing. I think things are starting to pick up for me, but I'm getting married on the 26th, so I'm going to have to take a little break for all this. I'll be back in no time, though.

Jonah Hex

Another sketch challenge entry, this time of Jonah Hex. I think I'm getting more consistent and comfortable with drawing quick sketches. I don't spend a lot of time on thinking about these and the drawing is just as fast. I think this one might have taken me 20 minutes tops, but not sure as I had to keep talking to people with computer problems every five seconds.

Jane

Did this for sketch challenge. It's Jane Fonda as barbarella.

Savage Dragon

I did this for the sketch challenge again.

Darth Vader and Luke

This is a quick sketch I did for a draw off at Ten Ton.

Lady Death

This was quick lady death I did while at work. I wish I had had her hand larger, but I wasn't really think about it too much until after the drawing was finished.

Chapel

Another sketch challenge entry. This was done with pen, ink, and prismacolors.

Battletech

This one was fun. I think I like this because I didn't plan it too much, but I think it still turned out pretty well.

Runaways

Runaways is my favorite book at the moment. I love the story and the characters. The whole thing is just very cool. I think you can tell by this sketch that I really like these characters.
