Got around to scanning some things recently,

Sketchery

Ruminations and ends of progressions, and even a Brandon Graham-inspired colored sketch book page full of Pratt studies.

Capt. WEIRD models

Things are heating up in the land of WEIRD,

doodles for none

The last of my convention doodles for nobody, a sort of befuddled Capt. WEIRD. Which, is my favorite Capt. WEIRD. I was so happy to be at APE, but at the same time, I really just wanted to get back to work on WEIRD, so he was all over my sktchbk that weekend. Then, I came home and immediately lost a week due to sickness. Ah, well, wahtchagawndoo?

Ingest as much vitamin C, raw garlic, and jasmine tea as my mucous-y body would contain, that's what.

con sketches for nobody, cont.

Since APE is two days long, and a much bigger venue, I had lots more time to sketch. Even though my neighbors were also awesome, I was pretty out of it from all the traveling, drinking(Guitar Wolf!), lack of sleep, and now I suspect, ensuing sickness, so I ended up drawing cause it's all I felt like doing. I barely saw the rest of the show, but there was so much awesome work.

Anyway, in honor of the show, I did an ape sketch, and was going to add a label and date, but forgot. Still, it seemed appropriate. Those who are gifted, or in the know, will recognize some easter egg-y type stuff.

Tiger City!

Sktch Dump, Easter Sunday: These gals be jacked

My warmups recently have mostly consisted of bodybuilders, and primarily female body builders. I think this started with Rin Nakai and Gina Carano. Someday down the line, I have ideas for a love story about a female fighter and a monkey-god-fella, but that is going to have to be after I finish the story I'm working on now, or somehow find a bag of time that fell off a truck and decide not to turn it in for the reward.

 

Or, someone gets the brilliant idea to pay me for drawing. Granted, I don't expect anyone to see doodles of female body builders and decide to throw cash at me, but a boy can dream. 

 

 

Also, all shapes and sizes are great anatomy practice, but slightly more curvy builders, like Kortney Olson and Jenn Rish are perfect models for Estre, the bunny-babe from outta space.

Speaking of that, the work is coming along at a somewhat more solid pace, so hopefully have more to show in a few weeks. Without a proper scanner, it's a pain to transmit stuff I've been working on, but at least I have a camera phone now.

In honor of the holiday, I leave you with a more recent sketch of the bunny lady in question. Just don't be asking her for any eggs.

Now, to scour universities in Miami for a large format scanner  I can use for relatively free.

Sktch Dump and cookies

Well, I'm in Miami for a little while!
 

I like being on the move, but I also kind of hate moving. Perhaps, subconsciously, when I know I'm about to pack up for somewhere new, I get into a really good work groove, just so can defeat it later, because nothing ruins my work ethic like moving. So, this barbarian is the beginning of me trying to work myself back into a groove.  

 Also, being on the move means I can't easily work with brushes, so pen doodles become more frequent, such as this Tetsu the Phoenix sketch, from "Tokyo Drifter." Although, I feel akin to the drifter, and I wander somewhat aimlessly with no job prospects.

 But, I did get a new sketchbook, so at least I have plenty of space to make work stuffs happen now. This Cap sketch is inspired by some sketches R. Grampa did of Rufo, from Mesmo Delivery, and then I remembered I used to draw Weird with all sorts of hats. Mostly, I remembered how much fun it is to draw Weird, so looking forward to finally getting some comics done with the Vinz. Also, there's a funny Totoro-esque rabbit thing that was pretty fun to draw.

Anyway, here are some neat cookies my sweets got me. A lady in Chapel Hill, NC makes them an prints old school horror comic panels on them. Not only are they delish, but they are quite handsome, too. And, her name is Toth, so what a proper tradition for her to evoke. You can order them here. Dark Chocolate, yum!

More sketchies to come once I get over being a worthless kaiju

A scene from a script. Been working on Capt. Weird for a bit, but this is his first real inked adventure.
