whatsit warm-up

Have no idea what it is, just doing some sketching in Manga Studio for some fun. Been spending most of my time writing and doing thumbs and concept sketches, so it felt good sitting at the tablet again.

After Convention Day

Had a great time at C2E2. Got to meet some old friends and make some new ones.


inspiration stikes




15 minute Quick comics (something I'm gonna try to do at conventions from now on). As of today, I'll be charging $15 for them. They are 5"x17", brush on paper. I have these two left, so they would be $15 plus S&H.

Original, Lil' Charlie pen and ink drawing. $50 plus S&H. First come, first served.

Ran out of these prints at the convention. As a convention special, I was charging $10 each (they are 13"x19" on matte paper). If you want one, get a hold of me, I will keep the price at $10 plus S&H.


Thanks to everyone who came out to the show, hope to see you again in the future.

Nicodemus

My Dresden Files warm up today is the leader of the Knights of the Blackened Denarius. This one was done all digital.

sketchy too

another sketch today, before I head off to work.

Page of the sketchbook I filled up, while watching TV with the fiancee last night.

Sketching

Found an old rag-paper sketchbook that I hadn't really touched (I have this addiction to buying sketchbooks, by-the-way). Here's a couple of pages I was playing around on.


I'm supposed to have a sketch day with a buddy soon. Since this is rag paper, I might have to break out my watercolor box.

warm-up

Warm-up sketch experiment. I let various music played on the ALL SONGS CONSIDERED 24/7 channel decide the direction of this. First I treated it as various shapes (like looking at clouds for something recognizable. Then I would tighten up what I eventually saw, letting the music help determine brush type, color, line weight and final theme.

...

Working on a project I can't show any of. Instead, here's another sketchbook page.

a few pages...

... from my sketchbook. I was awaiting approval to go ahead on a project today, and took time to get out of the house and sketch a bit. These pages were all graphite, black pen, and pentel brush pen.

graphite...

I really don't sketch enough with plain old pencil anymore. This sketchbook page was done with Sanford Ebony pencil (I like the wide range in value I can get from it) and Staedler liquid point 7 pen (I like how cheap it is).

As a bonus, I'm starting to think of a follow up story to my Mr. Simian comic. Here's a thumb of the opening page.

trying to get a lot of sketching and plotting in before I jump head-long into a handfull of new & old projects.

follow me

Hats and big ole' walking sticks... both are full of awesome. Oh, and mustaches. I can't pull it off but they are full of win as well.

couple more sketches

sketching with mixed media today. trying to get into the swing of things with traditional materials again, so I can start designing some prints for next con season.

sketch dump

just scanning a few pages from my sketchbook. All drawn with either a office max pen or a refillable ink-brush-pen.

digital wiminzez

digital practice... very light stuff, but if your with a sensitive crowd, NSFW.

a jumble

random sketching from a coffee house in DeKalb.

loose sketch and thumbs...

These are a few thumbs from THE GRAVE DOUG FRESHLEY pin-up I did for my friends Josh and Marv.


These are for an upcoming cover idea... it has a running theme.


and this sketch is just from me sitting around letting the pen wander wherever it felt like going.

musical sketch

rough sketch of a poster idea I had for fun.

boxer with heart

Sketched during a thunderstorm today, where I felt like not risking working on my computer with insane wind and lightning going on. Done with ballpoint, brush-pen, and prismacolor markers. Half-tones added after scanning.

while chatting...

No real idea what I was thinking, but this is what I drew while chatting on the phone tonight. Ball-point pen, brush-pen, and prismacolor marker were used on this sketch... happy accident with how the ball-point bled into the prisma.
