If This Be Sketchblog...!

Canary on the Catwalk

2010-04-02T13:14:00.000-07:00

This is my entry for Project Rooftop's "Canary on the Catwalk" Black Canary redesign contest. I could explain all my design choices, but I'll let it speak for itself. This was particularly difficult to do, because my scanner isn't working, so I had to draw the sketch, take a picture with my cellphone, and then finish it digitally. I'm happy with the results!

Agent of HUSH

This is a model sheet for the main character in a story that my studio mate Lan Pitts and I are working on.

Yup.

2010-02-22T22:43:00.000-08:00

This is the first entirely digital piece I've ever done. My wife posed for it.

Yup. She's hot.

Landroid's Basement Avengers.

2010-02-18T08:12:00.000-08:00

In the spirit of Marvel's recent teasers, my colleague and studio mate Lan Pitts is doing a fantasy Avengers team on his blog, for which I am providing the art!

Supergirl

2010-02-01T20:24:00.000-08:00

It's been a while... I've been busy, things have been hectic. Anyway, as I was working on a larger piece today, I got the inspiration to throw this little pic together.

To preface, I really hate what Supergirl is wearing these days. She looks terrible, and it would be so easy to make her look contemporary and cool without being slutty. I did this little redesign in the interest of actually making her "Supergirl," instead of "Superman-Girl," or "Superskank" or even "Superwoman." I just wanted to keep the Superman influence while moving in a unique direction, and trying to make her look like an actual teenage girl.

DC Comics Friday #2

2009-12-04T20:35:00.000-08:00

Here's the Flash, and many of my favorite Rogues. There are some changes I plan to make to this piece, including coloring it, but too much real life work has slowed my progress on it this week. I'll update it soon, along with some other color jobs. In the meantime, enjoy!

Avengers Assemble #4

2009-12-03T06:03:00.001-08:00

It's Spider-Man and most of his major enemies from the '60's!

I'm selling this one as a full-color print for $12 plus S&H. I am also willing to part with the original line art. If you're interested, send me an e-mail at ifthisbedoomsday@gmail.com

Avengers Assemble #3

2009-11-25T22:08:00.000-08:00

It's technically Thursday, and since I'm pretty sure I'll be way too busy cooking and gorging and carrying on the war on turkey that my ancestors declared countless ages ago when they landed at Plymouth Rock, I wanted to go ahead and get this up.

Now, this piece is the start of a big project that I'll be working on for the next couple months. Starting this week, every Thursday I will be posting a pic of another classic line-up of the Avengers in roughly chronological order. This project will take us through every era of the Avengers, from the original five, all the way to the current teams, and will include at least one picture of every Avenger ever, including honorary and reserve members.

Enjoy!

It's the Nocturnals!

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Sketchblog #4

2009-11-24T14:59:00.000-08:00

I figured it was about time I had an actual pic of Batman and Robin on here. This is Dick Grayson and Damien, the current dynamic duo. This is another piece I'd like to color soon.

Marvel Monday #4

2009-11-23T15:07:00.000-08:00

Back up in your ass with the resurrection!

And on that note, here are some Marvel redesigns as requested by you, the people. In order, we have Deadpool, Moon Knight, and Havok.

Brief Hiatus...

2009-10-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

Since I'm leaving tomorrow for San Francisco for my wedding, there will probably not be much going on here for the next two weeks. I'll try to get in an update or two, but I don't know what resources I'll have as far as scanning, etc. See you later!

Here's a quick Scarecrow in honor of the upcoming holiday. Expect more in this vein...

Marvel Monday #3

2009-10-19T14:18:00.000-07:00

Sorry there was no DC Friday this week. I had to rearrange some priorities, and "sketchblog" was at the bottom of the list.

Anyway, here's a quickie Cloak & Dagger for Marvel Monday!

UPDATE: Added a much nicer Thor pic I did today. I was gonna do this for Avengers Assemble! on Thursday, but I felt like getting it out there, and this incarnation of Thor isn't an Avenger anyway. Enjoy!

Avengers Assemble #2

2009-10-15T20:01:00.000-07:00

Today's sketch was going to be a nice group shot of the first appearance Avengers, which I worked on all day. Then my cat smeared ink all over it while I was getting a drink.

So here's a quickie Iron Man : (

I'll try to do something better this weekend.

Hump Day Grab Bag #2

2009-10-14T12:02:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the repetition, but since my last guy died, here's my new D&D character, Grune.

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Sketchblog #2

2009-10-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

Here's one of my favorite silver age characters, the original Batwoman, Kathy Kane! Here's a secret: I would love to do an all-ages mystery comic starring Batwoman. I may even do another picture of her today!

Marvel Monday #2

2009-10-12T10:17:00.000-07:00

It's MUTANT MADNESS here on Marvel Monday! Here's an image I started last night, and finished today. I'll probably post another pic in this entry later today featuring even more X-Men!

UPDATE: Here are some quickie headshots of 30 of my favorite X-Men.

DC Comics Friday #!

2009-10-09T16:52:00.000-07:00

Here's my childhood favorite Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, fighting his nemesis Sinestro. Check out Mogo in the background. Drawn at the request of Trey and Lan. I'll probably color it this weekend.

Avengers Assemble! #1

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Sketchblog #1

2009-10-06T10:38:00.000-07:00

For the first Batman entry, I decided to go back to my favorite Batman incarnation, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's animated series. He's one of my favorite characters from that show, The Grey Ghost!

Marvel Monday #1

2009-10-05T12:11:00.000-07:00

Since this is not only the inaugural Marvel Monday, but also the first entry on my sketchblog, I figured I'd start things off with a bang, and give you three images today.

Hi! HI! HIYA!

2009-10-05T10:07:00.000-07:00

Here's my new sketchblog. It's called "If This Be Sketchblog...!" I'm gonna post drawings here, hopefully just about every day. Here's a tentative schedule:

Marvel Monday: I'll post something relating to Marvel Comics.
Same Bat Time, Same Bat Sketchblog!: I'll post something Batman related.
Hump Day Grab Bag: Every Wednesday, I'll post a random sketch.
Avengers Assemble!: I'll post something Avengers related.
DC Friday: I'll post something DC Comics related.

I'll try to post a random assemblage of art over the weekend, but Saturday and Sunday postings won't be an every week occurence. I'm also happy to accept suggestions from readers as to which characters or subjects to tackle, and if you really want something special, I do comissions as well.

Marvel Monday will be posted later today!
