Priest Vamp

I saw the commercial for the Priest movie. I'm not optimistic, however the little vamp monster in the commercial was pretty cool. So this little guy is roughly based on that...

Again, because I apparently suck at scanning pencils some of his cool little details got washed out, but it was fun to do. I'll ink and color this one sometime soon...
Pencils on 100 LB. Vellum Bristol Board took about an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes.

Wolverine Pencils

I was thinking of doing an alphabet of personal likes; things in my life I really dig. This was done to sorta test the idea and I like how it came out.
I don't like the scan though. Every time I scan the pencils to a drawing I always loose some of the slightly lighter details...
Anyway I fiddled with Wolvies uniform a little. I gotta admit I dont know what it looks like these days but I did it this way to reflect the elements of his previous uniforms that I liked the most (moving little things around).

Alter Egos





So I got the colors for this one all done this past weekend. Getting my flats into the drawing didn't take quite as long as I thought it was gonna take.

Anyway the drawing is all about Bruce Banner and his alter ego, the Hulk. Aaaaaand the Hulk and his alter ego Bruce Banner (sorta depends on your perspective I guess).

In my humble opinion this dynamic has been (at times) the best developed concept in all of comics.

So there ya have it, but I must say this was fun to draw; especially the background/landscape which I drew separately from the characters in the foreground (for various reasons). In fact I liked how it came out so much I wanted to post it up here all by itself. So here it is.




Stargate - SG 1

It only took me forever to get to it but finally I did the colors for the Stargate: Children of the Gods poster I did waaaaaaay back here [LINK]. I ended up just calling it Stargate SG 1 even though I originally drew it as an homage to the series pilot, entitled Children of the Gods. I may go back and change that again though.

The copy took a little while because it is not a pre-fab font. I took the time to digitally recreate the copy that is used on the DVD boxed sets.

I drew this long enough ago so that I can't recall how long the pencils and inks took but the digital colors/finishes took approximately 7 and a half to 8 hours.

The Kool Aid Guy

A birthday card for a friend. I knew I wanted to do the Kool Aid Guy and I knew this was the pose I wanted to use. Unfortunately while this image is ubiquitous on the web (the original has him holding a pitcher of Kool Aid in his right hand), I could find no reference as to who the original artist was. So instead I had to credit the creator of the Kool Aid Guy, Marvin Plotts.

The drawing took about 45 minutes; about 15 minutes for the pencils and about a half hour for the inks....

The rest of it (digital colors, design elements, etc.) took about an hour or so.

The Super-Kill Guy (Updated)

So this is an updated version of the Brock Samson image I first showed HERE. I replaced the gun with Brock's usual weapon; the ubiquitous and trusty knife. Additionally I updated the colors and some of the design elements as well.

I'm MUCH more fond of this version.
How 'bout you?
