Check this out! I drew this picture of a skull with a mohawk for Jon’s Kid Brother and then he went graffiti’d his back with it. I like how the tattoo artist changed the shading on the gear, for the most part. The shading right around the hole almost makes it look bulgy, like a donut.

So, how do you like this little redesign? I enjoy it, although it feels a little claustrophobic compared to the old one.

Which I loved.

Dearly.

Since I spent so much time on this damn thing, due to ridiculous little things going wrong, and I just realized I found out some more stuff I forgot, I didn’t get much of a comic drawn for tomorrow. It was going to be another Thesaurus entry and an Adventure in Retail comic, but I just didn’t get a chance.

To tide you over, here is a sketchy version of the Thesaurus entry. I drew up the sketch in Manga Studio, then turned the page and the Cintiq sideways and used it as a lightbox to get the sketch onto the sheet of Bristol. Betcha didn’t think of that! Just scaled the workspace in Manga Studio till it matched the paper on top of the Cintiq.

The saddest fish, that’s really a whale! He can talk, he can kinda walk.

Here are a few sketches of Isaac Asimov for a comic I am working on. Just needed to get something that would shout “Asimov” to the reader. Mainly, those enormous chops. Wolverine has nothing on Asimov.

This here is the sketch for the comic up over at Chronic Malpractice. I’m very happy with the half-tone shading on it. It looks like it was placed right, but something slipped. It looks the way Meg Lee Chin sounds.

Here’s a sketch for the next Adventures in Retail comic. This will be #55. It’s been a long time, but I’ve been planning. Sketching. Scheming. It seems the longer I take between installments the better my work looks. Or is it just me? Click the image to see bigger.

I have so many ideas for random comics. This one involves Hitler. I got Hitler ideas coming out my ears. Here’s part of a panel for a comic about Hitler and Eva getting ready for bed. Enjoy.

Gotta go to bed, didn’t get too much done. Got home late and had to unwind with some Diablo2. Here’s what I drew in the past 45 min – 1 hour. More of Olga from photo reference and Jesus from no real reference.

This comic is taking me FOREVER to finish! I worked at least 4 hours today on this and i have about 4 panels inked. Also, that doesn’t include any backgrounds, either. Here is a preview of some “inked” panels. I haven’t used any real ink on this at all yet. All on the cintiq.  According to the references from that time period, i.e. paintings from hundreds of years later, everyone wore beards.

I haven’t upgraded wordpress yet, so I’m going to do that as soon as this is finished. Here are some more studies, I guess, of nudes. The references I used are of a model named Olga and she’s so scrawny you can see pretty much all her bones and muscles. It really helps as the models I had in school had no definition to their muscles at all and it was really hard to see what was where. You can see all kinds of stuff on Olga’s arms and the backs of her legs that you can’t see as easily on most others. Anyway, here they are.
