Beauty and the Beast



Some quick sketches, okay... These weren't that quick, but both were done in less than one hour each.

More fun with Brush Pens


I did this Ororo( Storm for you uncool peeps, or it may be that you're cool if you don't know that) right after the Logan/wolvie in the previous post..


I actually had so much fun doing these quick compositions, I ran out of ink the very next day.. So I'll be looking for a refill and get back to the festivities.. I have two more to share later this week.

I have to admit I did a little cheating and cleaned up her face in photoshop..

Fun with a Brush Pen


I was transitioning from doing design and storyboards, which I find very mechanical.. Storyboards ironically enough don't really feel like drawing to me. Probably because I'm creating images that are a reference for something else, and my decisions are based on how to make the end product better, not how to make this image better..


So when I transition to something that takes a lot more creativity, and my end product is important, I have to kinda shake head mentally to get into a different mindset..

So I grabbed this pen brush I got some months ago, at the advice of another artist, and I was just doing a few gestures and what not.. And then I kinda got in a groove with the brush, which can cover a lot of area quickly. I ended up with this wolverine..

I then did a storm.. But I'll share that one later.

Dawn


I started this Dawn at DragonCon.. I was sitting at my table and wanted to paint a character, and I have never drawn her before.

This one is still in the first phase, although the rest shouldn't take that long to finish.

Blackest Night tweaked


I wanted to make a print of the Blackest Night piece, so I had to get off my tookas and do a little photoshop magic to clean thing up and push things out.. Here is the result.

More Redeemer




This is a concept I created with Doug Wagner of "The Ride" fame..

I posted 2nd two pages in a previous blog.. I finished the first page some time ago and I'm posting that now.. The third page is probably the 8th page in the story, so I have quite a few to fill out..
