This Leia had like the biggest boobs of any Slave Leia I've ever seen!!



These zombies rocked! I saw some little kid [zombie] who took a pic with them later and it looked like a whole dead zombie family.



Her costume was really nice.



I see the middle and left babes at San Diego Con sometimes. They're still just as hot, so uh, you know....




I was annoyed that this pic came out blurry. The two Power Girls were a teens wet dream and with a Super Girl in the pic, you can't go wrong. But my flash never opened so my camera never focused. I took three pics and I didn't want to bug them again once I realized what the problem was. Oh well, here they are in their DD glory.

Now that Phoenix Comic-con is over, I feel like things are somewhat back to normal. Last week was crazy preparing for it but I had a lot of fun being at a con in my own hometown. Plus it was great seeing how much larger and shinier the con was. I think it could easily grow into one of the top 5 cons in the country over the next few years.

One of the few cases where I actually still need to make her boobs bigger...

I've had to do a crazy amount of work in the last two weeks. I've upheld my discipline of drawing or painting something everyday, that is until these last two weeks. And right now I feel so unmotivated to draw or do anything. Behold, the power of drawing everyday. This little sketch is nothing, but at least it's something to get me going.

I normally don't go thru my warm-up sketches again but after posting this pic on the ISCA site, Emily Anthony gave me a little feedback. I figured if she took the time to give me a little critique I should revisit this. I think the few changes make her look a lot better.

This was the last gal in Keith's Line up. I mainly wanted to do the four chicks and the Panda (yes, I said Panda). I wanted to make Sue hot enough so no guy would want to kick her out of bed, yet she has to look like she can kick you out of bed. Literally.

Here's Keith's description:

Y’know those dreams where you make out with a bodybuilding tattooed chick who likes smashing stuff with baseball bats? Uh yeah, me neither.

Over the last couple of weeks I kept seeing Elizabeth Taylor caricatures all over the place. Just recently I learned she passed away. This weekend I came across some good older pics of her so I figured I'd draw her in my downtime. I wasn't much of a fan of her work but when Elizabeth Taylor was younger she was friggin' hot! Here's to you, baby!

Because Honey was a former librarian, I couldn't help but to put glasses on her. Not the kind that assist her in shooting better or night vision, the kind that look good in plaid skirts. LOL

Here's Keith's description: Used to be the secretary. She was a terrible secretary; luckily she is an awesome fighting machine. Blonde, adorable, loves guns and pink.

Here's Raven's info: "The hot chick of Asian/Indian/African descent. A stealth assassin. Master of blades, daughter of royalty, dark past of darkness."

Keith McCleary started a pitch and ultimately couldn't use it. Once I found out the main characters were a bunch of hot chicks I owed it to myself to design them. It's a funny little concept and I'd love to something more with it. Keith may come off as serious if you were to meet him at a con but his sense of humor is HILARIOUS. I enjoy working with him, especially on stuff like this... :D

EDIT: Keith added the description of her on my facebook page, so I figured I'd add it here too.

"The hot redhead. The leader. A Macguyver type. Can speak every language. Ever. Master of disguise and every disguise is sexy."

I've wanted to do a sketch of Sam and Dean forever but I've never gotten around to it. I'm sure you're thinking, "because they don't have boobs." No, I actually love these two characters but it's more so laziness. When I do quick sketches I usually don't make time for two people but on weekends if I'm not too busy I live a little.

Now that they're out the way, I feel like drawing my favorite demon Meg, and the little girl who played Lilith. If you're familiar with the show... :D

I had a thing for Sophia Vergara since I was a teen I think. Back in the days I used to watch Univision all the damn time and ever since I saw the show she hosted I was hooked. This took a little longer because I just couldn't get a face I was happy with. She's kinda a cross between Sophia Vergara and a really hot Brazilian tranny. Oh well. I just gave her big boobs and had to start my work for the day.

Many artists in the ISCA have been doing caricatures of the Japanese in response to their natural disaster. Out of all the Japanese in the world, this morning I chose Japanese porn star Hitomi Tanaka. I swear her natural boobs on her tiny frame are about as astounding as the Egyptian pyramids.

I drew one pic in pencil and then scanned it into Photoshop. I ultimately hated it so much I just redid the whole thing Photoshop.

Some scribbles from the mall this past week.

A few heads to warm-up this morning, done using ref. Pencil sketches colored in Photoshop.

Today's warm-up is Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell) from the TV show V. As you know I love evil sinister chicks which is why I draw Morena Baccarin's character so often. If you watch V you know old Erica here has started to cross over to the dark side--which is totally hot! Especially when her boobies bounce around in those blue & grey tight shirts... LOL

I was shooting for more of a watercolor kinda look to this one. All done in Photoshop.

When I read Jules Price's book a few months ago I couldn't help but to notice she was unbelievably hot! This is my warm-up sketch today but I don't know if I did her any justice.

A gentlemen asked me to draw his significant other a couple of months back so I made her my warm-up sketch today.

I don't think I've ever colored the Lizard before and this one was fun to do. Something about coloring a green, drooling, loud mouth just takes me back to the high school days... This was colored by me, penciled by Roberto Di Salvo, not sure on the inks.

I posted this passage on my Deviant Art account about my color choices for these pages:

One of the countless things I learned from Todd McFarlane was his talent wasn't making anatomically correct people and objects, his talent was making them cool. McFarlane was genius for making the lamest characters and props interesting as hell, if not down right cool. Some times you need to do something scale and risk to being boring and sometimes you have to go outside the box.

If you look at the Spider-man #11 pages I uploaded, they are kinda similar. I wanted to try a hazy muted kinda day but the problem is Marvel likes their Marvel Adventures line to be pretty bright and punchy, so what to do? I went ahead and made the background hazy and used atmospheric perspective to seal the deal but I used "lighting" to bring the foreground forward. So for example, the only way to get color like this in a real photograph would be to use a flash or lights on an overcast day.

So had I wanted to color this "realistic" I would have made the foreground much darker and muted like everything else. Follow the rules of realism, then break them when you want to try to do something cool.

Doodles from this morning.

I've been dying to do this pic ever since I learned Katy Perry's boobs were bouncing around all over Sesame Street. I lost the likeness in Katy's face but since this was just a warm-up I totally went limp and didn't fix it. I figure you get the idea. ....Elmo's a pervert.

I did this sketch for a friend of mine after she joked about working out while giving her child a bath. Even though this is a quick “sketch” I proceeded on this drawing even though I shouldn’t have, or at least should have went in a different direction. I was the victim of poor planning.

My original idea was to draw a little boy in the bathtub and show mom working out, doing her taxes, and maybe one other bathroom task. For some reason I could not get it to work to save my life. Either I couldn’t get an angle/perspective that I liked or it just wasn’t telling the story—kinda like now.

I used call sketching sketching but sometimes I refer to it as problem solving, and maybe sometimes you should too. Why do some artists draw thumbnail sketches first? It is because they can see various ways to solve the problem and learn from each one. I’m not saying you can’t change along the way, but the more coherent picture you have in your head the better your end drawing will be.

I wouldn’t ordinarily post something like this but I figure it may help someone learn from my mistakes.

Someone on Deviant Art liked my last rat sketch and suggested I do this shower scene. So this was today's warm-up.

Today's sketch topic at the ISCA forum is Dolly Parton. This just goes to show that I don't draw all women with big boobs, some women have them before I get there...

My wife and I recently got into the card biz and I thought it would be cool to use our caricature instead of a photo. The problem, I did a caricature of me months ago so I had to do one of her. I know I continue to sell out and not push my painting skills but how I justified laziness this time was wanting to match my half-assed attemp on my face. This morning I was pumped! I just saw the amazing caricatures over at Marcus Sakoda's blog and I said I was going to attack it! But now I'm tired and needed to get it done tonight. Oh well, there will be more.

All of these faces have something in common, they all came from a porno. Remember back in the days when I used to watch porn to do anatomy studies? Well, because of caricature I swear all I look at is faces now. I am now officially a face whore. It's totally weird, I know. The first two girls came out of a different movie and the rest came out of another. Pretty funny.

I drew these heads yesterday and decided to put color on them tonight before bed.

What can I say about Christina Hendricks from Mad Men? OMG! This is a woman that can fill a bikini! I've watched a few episodes of Mad Men but none of them had her in them so I don't if she's a good actress or not. I just know as long as she keeps her figure, it doesn't matter.

This is my third pic of V's Anna, what's up with that? Well, I'll quit painting Anna when she quits being hot. I think you all know by now I love evil bitches and Anna is about as evil as they come. Morena Baccarin does an awesome job playing the character, now if only we could get her in a thong...

I do a lot of reading and studying to ultimately be a better artist and a better person. To really utilize what I study I feel you should apply it immediately and teach it to someone. Well, applying it immediately has been the easy part, teaching it, not so much. One of my new goals for this year is to share more of the techniques or principles that I use with others.

I use a quote by Stephen Covey that governs everything I draw and/or color. "The most important thing, is keeping the most important thing, the most important thing." That may sound silly to some but what it means for me is to make sure the eye goes to where you want it to go. The people in the background or a glass on a table probably should not be as well lit as the main characters unless it is pertinent to the story.

The only thing I really knew Nicki Manaj for was screwing up a perfectly good Ludacris song, that is until the new Trey Songz video came out. Holy frickin' moly she's hot in that video! Though plenty of credit goes to the technical crew because it is a beautiful well shot video. But I have to admit, Nicki has a hot bod.

I did this sketch for jamesimpaladaeggman over at deviantart.com. I think I told him I would have this done around Turkey Day so yeah...it took longer than I thought. I put a little bit more into the color and lines than my regular "sketch" work because it took so long.

You know how I said I wasn't going to post my live caricatures here, that I was going to post them on my other site? Well I guess the caveat is, unless there's T&A involved. I didn't "work" an event, I just drew a few caricatures at a friend's house on New Year's Eve. This is actually a caricature of my wife and her friend. What makes this funny is my wife's friend (the brunette) is WAY conservative and does things like wear underwear, so that's what makes this a little over the top.

I drew it with Copics but I scanned it in and colored it in Photoshop.

My cool-down sketch tonight (and my first sketch of 2011) is wife number one Barb. Barb is an emotional mess but like the other two, she's hella entertaining.

Ah, for my next cool-down sketch another Big Love wife. Did I mention how much I love this show? Ha, ha. Margene is another one of my favorites, she has a naiveté that is cute and sometimes funny--but she knows what she wants. Did I mention she's practically a nympho?

All digital, done in Photoshop. It's funny, I'm coloring this one artist right now who is very realistic and I colored this the same way. I kinda missed on the likeness but I think I namely missed because I didn't exaggerate much.

I used to laugh at people who used to say, "keep it" or "keepin' in real". I used to find it a little cliche and maybe even corny until I grew to learn I really do like to keep it real, real as in true. That's why I LOVE most HBO shows. If someone is pissed they cuss, if they have sex it's usually intimate, violence is more real etc. HBO dramas (as well as any cable pay TV) can push the envelope in ways TV dramas cannot. Which brings me to one of my favorite shows; Big Love. It's supposed to start again in January and I'm happy to have it back.

I didn't do much warm-up sketching this morning so I figured I'd do something before bed. This is a quick sketch of Nicki. I found a couple of really cute pics of Chloe Sevigny but I figured to make it Nicki I needed to draw her all pissed off and lookin' like she just got off the compound.

All digital sketch in Photoshop.

I started off with the intent to draw a zombie. It took me so long to get the head looking half way right I really ran out of time to zombiefy it. I'll probably sit on it for now and break out my zombie pimp hand for tomorrow.

I've been working with Keith on my next book and he mentioned Russ Meyer. So, who the hell is Russ Meyer? A google search later... Where the hell have I been? And I call myself a pinup artist!!??

For those like me who didn't know he started making films in the late '50s. To quote Wiki he made movies, "with a trademark blend of odd humor, huge-breasted starlets and All-American sleaze". Now ask yourself, what's not to love about Russ? LOL! It goes deeper than that because he did it before anyone else did. Read up on him, he has an interesting story and product.

This is a caricature of Tura Satana who stared in one of his movies. All digital, done in Photoshop.

I went to get a sandwhich last night at my local deli and what I found was the next Wonder Woman. She looks more or less like like my sketch here. Truthfully she looked like she could be porn star Aletta Ocean's little sister or something. Blue eyes, the dark hair, glasses, she was perfect. Actually Aletta Ocean would be a good Wonder Woman now that I think about it, but then again, the accent probably wouldn't work for the role. On the flip side, I'm sure she'd be up for nude scenes though. ;)

I've noticed a lot of things are not only on sale this holiday season, but a lot of places I shop have been e-mailing coupons and all sorts of discounts. I guess times are still pretty tough and competitive for retailers. As I drove home in my car tonight, I started thinking gentlemen's clubs are probably in the same boat, so...

Last Monday I went to the post office and there was this girl with incredibly nice buns who either needed to pee, was really hyper, or had restless leg syndrome. Nonetheless she just shook her hips and moved her ass around the entire time she was at the window. It was nice because she made an otherwise boring visit not so boring. This pic was just me playing with a watercolor brush, she of course was wearing clothes.

I was too lazy to draw something new tonight so the perfect solution was to color something old. Actually I think I drew this last week but you get the picture. I think I just drew the rats in for the hell of it, they really don't have any kind of storytelling purpose, just fun.

I did it with Prismacolor pencils and colored it in Photoshop.

I just wanted to screw around with color. How these two came about was I was really missing some things on my drawings and I realized my line of action wasn't working. So after a few sketches I came up with these two.

This book is always late so I'm usually hesitant to experiment much. Since I saw they were introducing a new character [Cinder] who fought with fire, I knew most of the action scenes would be full of yellow and oranges from the fire. So at the end (since it's night time no less) of the book I went with all these browns and purples. I was VERY paranoid the editors or my AD would hate it and I'd have to do redo everything. Thank god I didn't have to.
