24 Hr Comic Challenge

2011-10-02T14:20:00.000-07:00

Read from bottom to top!

Read from bottom to top!

Well, here are my pages for the 24 hr. I ended up doing it all digitally, and kids when you are drawing digitally make sure not to forget your ever important laptop charger. I drove back to Denver then back up to Boulder to grab it. So I lost about two and a half hrs. I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out for a 24. Loved the crowd we had and I think everyone had a good time. On to pages.

Page work

Here is a comparison between pencils and inks done by me.
The previous inker on the book didn't match well with me so we asked him to leave, I feel really bad but no one was out of money and I just didn't work well with him. So here we are. I'm still working on more Skeptic stuff, but that I can't show you so here are things I can show you. At least I think I can. It'll be down if I can't. Haha!

Space Cowboy

2011-09-04T10:42:00.000-07:00

Still haven't seen Cowboys and Aliens. Drew this between pages, been drawing so many damn panels lately I needed a little doodle break. There are a few subsequent pages before this came about but nothing worth showing. Maybe ink this sometime. Maybe not. H

Tales From The Perhaps

2011-08-31T12:44:00.001-07:00

Written by Ian Ascher, this is Pg 1.

New Page

2011-08-29T21:55:00.001-07:00

For Ron Fortier and Bill Gladman.

I didn't ask Jay for permission...

2011-08-24T22:23:00.001-07:00

....but here are my roughs to page 12 which is the left side of the double page spread below. Some tweaks were made, others still need to be made. The never ending process continues. Or, well I guess it ends at some point, right now that seems far away...

Compare the two posts, let me know what you think. I thought the buildings were a bit skinny being connected so close, so I kinda pushed the space between the panels a bit further. Hope that isn't confusing.

Been a hard week so far and its only Tuesday.

sketch dump

2011-08-08T14:05:00.000-07:00

A week ago I had a moment of weakness, and on a night I was supposed to stay hunkered down at the drafting table I went out and a few too many drinks with friends. I was walking home with them, taking a short cut through to Denver Center for the Performing Arts and I fell. Injured by right thumb and lost my wallet. Needless to say the next week sucked, as I was unable to work on pages, when the swelling came down I finally got around to doodling and I did these guys. Hopefully I'll have some inks for you. Also keep a look out for new skeptic pages over at Paper Dream Productions.

More Skeptic Work

2011-06-12T09:27:00.000-07:00

Here are some more character designs Jay wanted me to have done for a preview comic he will have at Summit City. I feel that I'm not very strong at drawing women, so some study needs to be done. Hehe. All joking aside, I need help. Here is Gary, Elena, Marissa and Jessica.

WIilson Hammond

2011-06-08T09:19:00.001-07:00

Wilson is one of my favorite characters to draw, he is all over my sketchbook. We needed some solid turnarounds for the website and our new book coming out soon so I did these. He's barely a B list celebrity, he has one night stands, hangovers and will most likely die of kidney or lung failure due to his abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. I love his swagger, his in your face attitude, and his lack of care for your misinformed opinions.

Wilson Hammond is the Skeptic. Look for more characters and pages at Paper Dream Productions.

Skeptic Page 7 Inked

2011-05-27T02:34:00.000-07:00

Redrew the top three panels. Original had wide panel on top and two smaller ones beneath it, with the large CU of Wilson's face on the bottom you see there.

Big white spots will be covered in speech balloons... I hope. XD

Denver ComicFest 2010

2010-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:00

Holy crap! Boy did I have a good time! If you missed out make sure you come check it out next year, here is the breakdown.

Friday, Apr. 16th 2009 6PM

I arrived, after a long drive due to some heavy Denver traffic, the halls were pretty empty. Some artists had arrived, people were lazily setting up their tables. With me I brought only my backpack with my sketchpad and some tools to work with if the occasion called for it. It was more of a preview day, only a 5 hour day and it was a Friday night, so I suspected con traffic to be low. I was right, not many people showed up, but it was great seeing who I was sitting next to, Zach Howard! Woo!

I hung out with a few guys for a bit and took off before nine.

Saturday, Apr. 17th 2009 10AM

Yay! Saturday, big day for Denver ComicFest. The crowds that I was expecting were surpassed by the surge of people that showed up. I sold a few sketches and was too busy to really do anything. I stepped away from the table a few times to get food, but that was about it! Being in such a small space lines formed to get into the room where my table was, it was fun seeing people waiting in line!

That day I met a woman who teaches a high school class on Comic Books down in the Springs, how crazy! I remember when I had trouble even bringing up a comic book class to my college! Ah, how the times have changed.

Around 1 PM I was asked to show to a Draw Off! The competition was between a team from Drink & Draw, The Boulder Co-Op, and Squidworks, at the last minute a wildcard team was added! It was crazy! It was kind of like reverse Pictionary. The crowd yelled out silly subjects and we had to illustrate them in 3 minutes or less. Who ever did the best "illustration" would win one point, or a half point as we later discovered. The game went on for about an hour, ending up in a tie between D&D and the Boulder Co-Op, which resulted in a lightning round where Melanie and I had a Dance Off for about 30 seconds. It was ridiculous.

I sold a Daredevil Yellow original which I never got the opportunity to scan, so if I get I will post it here for you!

Sadly I was booed off stage and we lost it to the Co-Op this year, but rest assured we will come back with a blinding vengeance next year!

That night I drew this Bat Family pin up:

Sunday, Apr. 18 2009 10AM

Sunday, again was a bit slow, but it is a Sunday! People here in Colorado go to Church, people unlike me! I tried selling that pin up all day, no one wanted it! SO if any one out there wants it let me know!

All in all, I had a great time at ComicFest, the staff was awesome and the show was well planned. Look forward to next year!

Dallas McCoy test page

2010-03-09T15:27:00.000-08:00

This isn't really a test page, I did some test drawings of Dallas for Rorschach Comics which I can't show, but I did send this off as I drew it to warm up before I did pages I was supposed to work on.

Check out Dallas McCoy at the link above.

Also, here are the inks I quickly threw together this morning for them. Haha, look at the super skewed building.

Run Shinsuke Run!

I need to do a redo.

Heroes Con Over

2009-06-22T08:15:00.001-07:00

First off I want to say thanks to all those who came by the table and added me on their watch and bought crappy sketches. I had some sweet portfolio reviews with people I didn't expect to see her and a lot of good advice had been given out! Again, thank you guys for helping me out! As soon as I get back to CO I plan on utilizing all this great information that was given to me, I met some awesome people and made some really great friends here at Heroes and hope to come back next year preferably working! XD
I did an awesome Demon piece for the auction which unfortunately got shoved into the silent auction and it made me sad. I loved that piece and wanted to know publicly who all bid on it. Unfortunately someone here at the con felt it wasn't all that great. A few people I wanted to meet out here kinda flaked but that's cool too. Its just a con.
Something kind of unrelated, at the end of the show we all went back to the hotel and hung out at the bar, Michael Jordan was sitting about a few feet from where I was standing, I waved hello which was awesome!

Now to get back to Denver and figure out how to pay the rent! O.O

Commissions are open!

Hey gang, I used Canson Tracing Paper and Faber Castell Pigment Liners. Hope you like.

Jetfire/Skyfire Work in Progress

Here is step two in the process, final pencils.

Soundwave Commission

2009-04-27T18:18:00.001-07:00

Soundwave in all his badassery!

Ironhide Convention Commission

2009-04-27T15:01:00.001-07:00

I did this for a girl that makes Plushies of TFs. She was awesome.

The Studio

2009-04-26T23:12:00.001-07:00

So just redesigned the Studio. This is it.

Orc Vs. Night Elf

2009-04-22T01:58:00.001-07:00

Night Elves are awesome. I never played WoW for that long, never had the patience like a lot of my friends did. I just wanted to draw all the designs, really liked the cartoon look that WoW has. Hope you like Phil!

Denver ComicFest 09

2009-04-19T20:35:00.001-07:00

Comic Fest was a complete success. For the size of the Con I had a blast. Hung out with Brian Wood, Amy Hadley, Zach Howard, Charlito and the Phranque from ISR. Had dinner with the Squids and the ISR crew which was hillarious! Also, look for my interview with Charlito on Indie Spinner Rack this week for an update of this to come from the Denver scene and my own personal projects.
Aside from all that I got some commissions done and made a lot of good new friends which is always a great thing. With that I would like to thank everyone who came by the table, bought something, and argued with me about TF Fandom and comics!

Thor Inks

2009-04-16T23:32:00.001-07:00

Motha fucking God of Lightning, Thunder, and the Storm!

Lament Pg 1

2009-04-15T02:13:00.003-07:00

Written by Ivan J. Rodriguez Colon and drawn by yours truly. I assure you that horrendous fifth panel will be dealt with swiftly and severely.

Thor for ComicFest

2009-04-15T02:13:00.001-07:00

Thor is one of my all time favorite characters. Not only do you have the duality of a mortal God, but he was drawn by my all time favorite artist John Buscema (RIP). Also, the current run on Thor with Strazinsky is phenomenal!

Check it out yo!

2009-04-14T05:57:00.001-07:00

It seems as if though I'm kind of on a theme with these blues, may need to do something like this with the website. :)

He is gunnin' for ya. Top speed and nothing can stop him, don't worry. It'll be quick.

Wings

2009-03-22T23:12:00.001-07:00

Did this a little while ago, I'm not sure where its going. I like the idea of the hot air balloon with a ruder and a sail. Haha.
