Comic Con 2.0

As promised, here's the second batch of 8 sketch cards I'll be doing for the Motor City Comic Convention in May. Lots more to come.

COMIC COM 2.0

Hey, it's been waaaaay too long since I've posted something and well, the only excuse I have is motivation. Not anymore. The Motor City Comic Convention is coming up in May; a little far off, but I figured I might as well get things done now instead of 2 days before hand like last year. for starters I'm doing sketch cards up the yin-yang, and here is a set to begin with. I'll be posting these 8 at a time as that's all I can fit in my scanner at a time.

I plan on doing as many of these as humanly possible. I'm really diggin' these as they're helping me improve my sketches as a whole and help me draw better on a smaller scale (2.5x3.5 inches). Suggestions on others to do?

Monster concept

I watched a tutorial on www.idrawgirls.com (which is amazing by the way) of a monster concept design inspired by the devastating movie 'Cloverfield'. I didn't want to duplicate his concept, but I kinda went in his direction, but added my own touch to it. I'm fairly happy with it.

Doctor Manhattan

Here's a piece that I almost trashed, but ended up "finishing". I wanted to practice the methods of Drew Struzan (my favorite pop culture artist by far), by using acrylics, colored pencils, and a little bit of airbrush. I'm pretty happy with it.

More digital stuff

Like I stated before, I've been practicing digital art using my Wacom tablet alot lately. I saw a tutorial on doing landscapes, so here are two I created after seeing the steps. I will not post the very first one I did, because it's a total abomination.

Mr. Freeze

Looking through the archives I came across this one. I did this in about 10 minutes to take with me to the Motor City Comic Con this past May. I did this with colored pencil, paint, and a little digital enhancement.

I've been treading the digital waters and have been using my Wacom tablet even more than a pencil and paper; though it is odd drawing using the tablet, as I prefer to physically use a pencil against a physical piece of paper. I'm pretty happy with this one other than the fact that after I "finished" it, it reminded me of Cyrax from Mortal Kombat. D'oh!
