Sketchcards Teaser

I'm gearing up for Fan Expo 2010. My main focus this year is sketchcards. Here's just a taste. The full lineup for Set 01 (Justice League) can be seen here.

50Two Pickup - Count Dooku 006

50Two Pickup - Poison Ivy 005

I missed last week, so here's two for ya!

50Two Pickup - Clone Rex 004

Week 4 and still going. I've been watching alot of "Clone Wars" lately. Love it!

Express Yourself

There has been an exercise circling around deviant Art for a while now called "25 Essential Expressions Challenge". It's a great exercise that everyone should try. I finally found time to do mine. This is just roughs of the first 10. The finished version is here. Enjoy!

50Two Pickup - Sentinel 003

Wow, three for three! As an added bonus I busted out the pencil crayons to colour a second version "old school". There's actully been improvement in just 3 weeks. can't wait to see where I'm at in 3 months!

50Two Pickup - Hitgirl 002

I told you there would be a new one today! Only 50 more to go!

50Two Pickup - Beastman 001

Happy New Year! I know, a little late...

I've given myself a little project as my new year's resolution. It's usually "draw every day" but let's face reality... it never happens. So let's try drawing every week! I'm calling this project "50Two Pickup". The idea is to draw a character each week for the year and post them every Friday (52...get it?). This way I have a purpose to draw and it will be fun to see how my style evolves since I'm off my game right now. It will be good practice for my sketchcards come convention season. I invite everyone to join me on this quest. If so, let me know so that I can follow your progress as well. Let's get sketchin'!

This one is late. Great start, eh? New one on Friday!

Fan Expo 2009

Another year of the Expo wraps up. Tiring, but tons o'fun! Sold more artwork and made new friends. I'm already planning for next year and am looking into expanding to other cons. Watch for me in 2010!

Here's me hard at work doing some sketchcard commisions...

and my sister showing off one of her paintings.

Now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!

Hey y'all! I've been meaning to post this for a while. A few months back I worked on a viral video to promote... you guessed it, "GIJoe The Rise of Cobra" from Paramount. Being a huge Joe fan, it was a perfect gig. We pretty much played with the Hasbro toyline for 8 weeks. Check it out here.

Let me know what ya think. Yo Joe!

Smooth Criminal

So I have finished my tribute piece to the "King of Pop"! There are four versions because I couldn't decide on the final look. I like them all for different reasons. Check them out here. Yes, I'm making you go to my other site... I'm tricky like that! Here's a taste though.

Also, the Toronto Fan Expo is just around the corner (Aug 28-30). I'll be in Artist Alley. Drop by and say hello!

Memories of a Legend

Michael Jackson
1958-2009

"His music will live forever."

Just the sketch work behind a tribute piece to the King of Pop. The finished piece will be up on my Deviant site when done.

Monster Manual

I used to play Dungeons & Dragons as a kid and still love the whole fantasy world. I thought "What if a show was based around the monsters instead of the usual Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, etc."
The idea is that each monster is an outcast from their race. For those unfamiliar with D&D, here's the lineup...(L to R): Owlbear, Ettin (2 Headed Giant), Beholder, Displacer Beast, Elemental, Treant.

These are the other element forms (air, earth, water, fire) that the Elemental character holds. She changes elements depending on her mood.

In the Works...

I haven't posted in a while, so here are some first run sketches on a couple of characters I'm working on. More to follow...

JLU Fever

This is what happens after watching continuous episodes of Justice League. I'm playing with pinup style sketches (still feel out of practice). The colour versions don't feel right without a clean line, but that's what sketches are about, right? And I suck at colour! Gimme back my blue pencil!

Resolutions

New year, new look. As with every new year I try to follow the same resolution...draw more! My plan is to draw every day...or every other day at least (hmm). So here we go...

I haven't drawn in a few months and as we all know it takes a bit to get back into the flow. For me, a good way to warm up is to draw "tha ladies". Trying to capture the curves and sexiness of our female counterparts is more difficult than drawing men. You can''t fudge the anatomy as easily. So here are some warm up sketches until I get my groove back.

Guantlet 2

Just a different style for my heroes quartet. If I find time a may do some monsters and/or Death!
