Supermen

Superman: The Quest for Post-1980s Relevance. Can you name all the Supamans?

Winter Wolvieland

I hated this costume as a kid but it's really grown on me. Please file this drawing under "Looks Better In Person".

Wreck-It Ralph

I finally caught Wreck-It Ralph with some friends the other night and it was pretty fantastic. I drew this for Spitballin' Comics prior to actually going, though, and it ended up being the most popular thing I ever posted to Tumblr, getting like 1200 notes. Seeing it allowed me to feel less like a poseur. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's considerably better than Brave (and I actually like Brave a lot better than most).

Jack Rabbit and Turtle Girl 2012

More from the sketch book, first time drawing my OCs Jack Rabbit and Turtle Girl in (I believe) years. They weren't very easy to recapture since a lot of my design choices back then were subconsciously based on an inability to draw. The more things change, etc.

Lt. Uhura sketch

Psst... it's a sneaky peek preview of my next contribution to Spitballin'. Wreck-It Ralph week hasn't wrapped yet, but once it does Stark Trek week kicks in and I'll be posting this over there, too. Don't tell nobody. This is a between me and you deal.

Batwoman sketch

I drew this in my sketch book to cover pink marker that leaked through from the previous drawing (rather than cut the page out which I've done in the past). I figured strategic black and red would cover it nicely. It did. And then when I coloured this I forgot to put scrap paper behind it again. I'm a real square.

My sketch book take on an Aqua-classic. At one point I was going to colour the whole background but then I remembered Copics are expensive.

Classic 60s Wasp from the moleskin sketch book. I thought about printing out some of these but I'd really need a scanning ninja to do it properly for me. They always look so much nicer in the book.

I think this is one of the great superhero costumes, by the way, though I recognize it would look pretty out of  place nowadays. When Janet inevitably comes back from the dead I hope she brings back the thorn-head look.

Hellcat sketch

Did this in my sketchbook while at a comics event last week that turned out to be kind of dead. I picked Patsy Walker because I thought her costume would be really easy to do out of my head. Still got some details wrong, but you can't win 'em all!

Harley Quinn sketch

I don't really like this but I did draw this and it's important that you know the whole me. I wish you could see where the mallet-handle-nose attaches most of all. Mistakes were made.

Damian Wayne

From the sketchbook, just having fun drawing Batman's sour faced kid.

Aquaman & Peach

Couple copic illos from my moleskin.

Luke and Yoda

Never would I ever have thought I’d be doing Star Wars fan art, but I watched the original untouched trilogy a couple weeks ago and here we are. Empire’s my favorite (not even a contest really) and my favorite scenes in Empire are on Dagobah. I like to imagine that Luke and Yoda eventually did some bonding over his rations off-screen while training there, and Yoda told him stories of the old, pre-clone wars days in a rare moment of lucidity.

90s Superboy

Dr. Zaius and Cornelius - Planet of the Apes

Guy Gardner - Green Lantern

Sketches and Warm ups 02/11/12

Messing around with portraits of some favorite Batman villains. My success level is all over the place on this one.

Batman and Robin from last Wednesday's drink and draw. Lines by me, inks by Marcus To. This was pretty popular on Tumblr either because Marcus fixed so much of my drawing or people like to see Batman say "bra'".

Bebop and Rocksteady from the 80s TMNT animated series and toyline. Wish they'd bring 'em back, though I know it's a rights issue or something like that.

Sketchbook 2012

I've been keeping a sketchbook again. It helps me work out what direction I want to push my stuff in. Lately when it comes to style and stuff I just don't know. Here's a brief peek.

Spawn - Spitballin' lineart

The lineart from my first post over at Spitballin' Comics, the artists collective sketch blog I formed with some fellow Toronto illustrators for love of the game. A character a week is the goal--let's see how we do! Check out Spitballin' Comics for the finished colour sketch and more of my rambling!

Happy Halloween!

Something monstery from the sketch book--Gill-man from Creature From the Black Lagoon, easily the coolest of the old Universal monsters. Freaks the hell out of me.

Donatello

Donatello, probably the turtle I have the most affection for nowadays. I did this much quicker on the heels of the last one than I intended, but they're fairly fun exercises and I tend to need to remind myself drawing is fun every couple of days haha... It's fun to try and make the turtles look physically distinct from one another, and communicate some of their personality in their face and build. I gave Donny more of a nerdy unassuming face, big beak, lankier, taller build than Mike. He's a thinker.

Dunno if I'll keep this up for these but thought it might be interesting to show the pencils and inks again, especially since it changed so much between the two. Wanted to make his face a little more likable, as well as get rid of the tool belt I was originally giving him. Didn't want to cheat the geting-personality-across-in-the-design thing with too many props. He ended up with bicycle gloves for some reason? Maybe this Don drives the turtle cycle exclusively, I dunno.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo, the turtle no kid can do without and no adult can stand. Started as a rough sketch from months back, but I liked the face enough to want to see it through. The other three may be coming in the future, similar motif. 

Figured I'd post the process stuff, too, seeing as how I actually had it all scanned for a change. These are the DVD extras to which you've become accustomed.
