I had no goal in mind here.

I've helped out on this title a few times and I usually just try to blend in with the other colorist. This time I had to do the entire end of the book so I just figured I'd kinda do my own thing.

This is a BBWU sketch. I liked how the color was coming along so I should fix her anatomy, add details etc. But notice the stress on "should"... LOL

I did this pic of Denise Milani using ref. My wife saw this pic and wondered why I exaggerated her proportions so much. Well if you've seen her before you'll know I didn't exaggerate much of anything--like I usually do. ;) Therefore I'll attach ref so you don't think I'm crazy.

I don't even like this but I figured since it's the first thing I've drawn in 2008, I need to post it. I've been pretty busy so far this year so I haven't had much time for sketching or anything--moving didn't help either. Anyhoow, I did a few gestures then got stupid after that.

I started messing around with different smude brushes in Photoshop and decided to play on a sketch by Frank Cho.

I was going through my archives and ran into this Fangoria cover. If you haven't heard, Fangoria went belly up a month or two ago. I was never paid this cover. But then again if no one ever screwed you, would it still be freelance?

No story to this one, I just wanted to do something this morning.

Just messing around before I have to act like a parent.

A color study.

I decided to study a little Don Flowers. I swear if that guy was alive he'd be an inker like Scott Williams or Joe Weems. Or he'd be a fashion illustrator somewhere. Or he could be strung out on a prescription drug somewhere...you just never know. Oh yeah, and don't ask me why she's holding a personal massager.

When I was in San Diego I was stopped by the creators of Bootywoman. At first I thought with a name like Bootywoman it was probably just porn. Then the creator explained her powers such as "Invulnerabutt", "kinetic ass control", and bootyhealing capabilities". I couldn't quit laughing. The more he explained the more I kept laughing. So this is my homage to Bootywoman. ...who says I don't support independent press? LOL

This was a cover I painted over pencils (not my pencils) for a custom book Marvel did with Triple A baseball. I had to do it in like one afternoon so it really sucked because I would have loved to been able to put some real time into this.

I call these my first Con sketches. I decided months ago I was going to go old skool. I had some Copic markers, bristol paper, and a pencil. LIke with my Wacom I couldn't think of anything to draw in two days but I do now understand the hype of Copic markers--they were really nice.

I don't like these two drawings but they did help pave the way to learning how to do what I want with the markers. I guess that's the point right?

This is my tribute to all the new female jungle comics that have came out in the last year. I love women in bikinis in the Amazon as much as the next guy but let's face it. Most of these characters don't care about men and there's not a razor in site for miles. Yeah....it's like that. LOL

Just messing around with Painter before bed. I brought it into Photoshop to do a few things to it. I need sleep.

My wife's cousin asked me to draw his video game character a long time ago and I have yet to do it for him. So I did this sketch in the mean time. I'll probably take a stab at a finished drawing this weekend.

A revision of girlfriend. I wanted to see if I liked her a little more comicky and I actually kinda dig how I did that last version. Although this look is a little more consistent with what me and Alex are looking for.
