79: Babe Mondays: Pin-up girl

Okee dokee.. today a quick pin-up.. I tried to knock this one out quickly yesterday but I didn't like the result enough to post..


I wen't back at it again today, found a way to simplify things, and I'm happier with it now.

Here's the inspiration for this image: click here.

Babe Monday: Misty Knight

I've been jonesing to do a Misty Knight Since her redesign some years ago.. Why did I wait so long.. I think she came back with a bang, and then fizzled a bit toward the end.. But I finally did it..

Blast from the Past..

I have a deskful of work, and when I'm not doing stuff that was due yesterday, I'm hopping on stuff that's due in 5 minutes.

so to keep the blog rolling foward,, I'm going to post up older work that I still like..

This blast from the past is from a comic proposal I did with a friend around 2002 or 2003.

80: Pop Wednesdays : Lady GaGa

Okay.. I only know her name.. Until I did this pic I didn't really know who or what she was.. But she gives a lot of fodder for a visual treatment.  I've probably heard her music and didn't know who to attribute it to.

79: Pulp Tuesdays: Dejah Thoris

I'm leaning more toward the pulp side today, going for a color image of the classic Dejah Thoris..

I'm listening to "The cat who Walks Through Walls" by Heinlein, and he just mention a character named "Dee-jah" Thoris, so the bug was placed in my head, and this was the only way to get it out.

It's an interesting color composition.. Might make a good painting..

78: homage to babe monday: sketch

I didn't like yesterday's post and I saw some inspiring image from Anna Fischer's flikr account. Here is a sketch I did based on one of her pics..

74 Free for all Friday: Akira

Not Quite a sketch, but I did spend the whole of Friday working on it. 

I did this piece for the Akira exhibition that's touring the US and Europe. It's available as a print.. If you're interested, give me a buzz.

BTW.. It's either Free For All Friday, or Word of the day Friday depending on what's cooking in the kitchen.. I think I'll be back to a Word of the day Friday this week.. I have something brewin' in my head that needs to get out.

73 Gritty Thursdays: SuperGirl

Okay. I'm playing catch-up from last thursday, but I didthe grawin's.. I just didn't have time to post the. Wuz at Dragon Con over the weekend.

69: Word of the Day Friday: Courage

Okay.. I did two Friday Pieces..

68: Free For All Fridays

Okay I've deviated from Word of the Day Fridays.. But I do have a Word of the Day Pic too, coming later.

I think this is how Red Sonja would really look like if she's as badd a$$ as she's portrayed. She'd have to have a lot of upper body mass to weild a sword as well as the dudes.. and well the skimpy coverage of the ta-ta's would distract even the most focused of men.

That's my two cents and I'm sticking with it.

63: Pulp Tuesdays.. Space Gurrrrl.

Okay.. I decided Tuesdays would be Noir/Pulp..  Oh.. I do realize it's not Tuesday, but I'm making up for the post that I didn't do earlier this week.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Okay.. I think I've got it.

I've been working at keeping the  blog updated a bit more regularly. But at the same time, I didn't just want to do a quick pics that I'm bored with.. So as you've seen, I'm mixing it up, and I think I have a game plan that fits with something I've wanted to do for some time now anyway..

Along with comic, I'm an illustrator. I like to interpret themes, ideas, situations, etc.. So I'm going to do sketches based on themes, Comics, Music, and sexy.. yep I said sexy.. Who doesn't like sexy? Even women like sexy.. cmon.. you gotta like sexy.

So that's That.. I'm going to steal a cue fom Jimmy Palmiotti, who does sexy Mondays, when he presents a collection of sexy pics on his blog every, you guessed it, Monday.

Mine is not "Sexy Mondays" like Mr.Palmiotti, but I'll say Mondays will be sexy.

Noir Tuesdays. Heavy shadows, square jawed guys, and sultry women.  

Wednedays will be Music/pop culture themed: What every person or band that I fancy at the time.. Done with a Flat Design-y approach. Like my Black Keys Pic before this post.

Thursday Grit.. The current style that I'm using, lot's of hatching and linework.. 

Word of the day Fridays. I choose a word and interpret it. Style is a wild card here.

Okay.. Lets get to it!!


I'm a little early for Music Wednesday- so I switch it up and do noir tomorrow.
