Kuta Contest and more...

So Sean "Cheeks" Galloway is having a contest. Draw his character, if he picks it, you get a statue and he'll use it for an upcoming card set. Fingers crossed!

So I started first with the head. That's most important. It's what makes the character stand out. I went with my first drawing. Pick a head any head....



Then I expanded with the body. Here's the original sketch for that.



Once I got into Adobe Illsutrator, I make changes and adjustments as I saw fit.

In other news, I tested for a kids book. Although, I won't be working on BananaTail, I had a lot of fun working on this sample piece. Not bad a for a couple of hours work.




It felt good to do a few color pieces on the MAC, it's been forever since I've done anything digitally.

And finally, the photo shoot. It went really well despite the overcast. But it actually worked to our advantage. Hired a friend of my brother, Dan, for a young guy I was really impressed at his skill level. He was quite professional and patient. Check his website, listed on the menu bar, for his online portfolio.

Other than the header here's a few other shots I'll be using for upcoming promotional material:






Not much else to tell really. As always, working hard on the 2nd chapter of the new book. I should have a few panels for you guys soon.

As always, I'm taking commissions and if interested, please email me at:

Thanks!

GL Commission and more...

So, where should I begin. I recently finished a nice Green Lantern Commission, full color, full figure, 11x17. Click image to enlarge.



In addition to that, I have a few pieces up at a local art show. I haven't done one in a long while. I doubt I'll do one again. I hate art shows really, nothing seems to sell and I always worry about the stuff being stolen. In college, I had two pieces stolen from a student show. I prefer having the work out at cons, I have the illusion of control. Anyways, here's a few quick shots.





This Saturday, I have a photo shoot setup so I'll have nice "artsy" photos for promotional use. As my good friend, Chris, told me once, everyone should have good photos of themselves. I can't argue with that. I hired a friend of my younger brother who is a photography student. He has a lot of potential and he'll get some nice experience out of this. Check out his online portfolio by clicking here.

Finally, the comic company, Outlaw Entertainment, that bought my last book (from Viper) and has hired me for the current novel just went public. You can check out their site by looking at the right side menu bar. I don't have released dates for my titles just yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you guys know.

Oh yeah, I took the lil' woman to see Wolverine last weekend. The movie wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, however, it was not very good. Terrible plot, bad CGI and WTF was up with the ending? I for one am excitied and hoping Terminator Salvation will restore my faith in sci-fi/comic genre movies. I took a half day from work just to go see it on the 21st.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I hope to have a few panels from the new book (Chapter 2) up shortly. Take care!
