Namor Digital Paint

2010-05-17T13:53:00.000-07:00

I haven't tried to digitally paint anything in a really long time, so for my warmup today I tried painting Namor. Around his head are different stages in the process.

Action Hero Warm Up

2010-05-03T14:24:00.000-07:00

I used the base inks of a dude I had lying around to do a warm up based on this Also, Bagels strip.

The Patriotic Symbiote

2010-05-02T22:12:00.001-07:00

I liked the concept of a venomized Captain America, so I did it again.

Did this as a warm up. It's a character from the webcomic Also, Bagels named Pud from when he was on steroids.

Chris Evans as Cap

2010-03-25T12:36:00.001-07:00

Chris Evans has been confirmed as Captain America, so I made a Photoshop to get an idea of what he'll look like.

Harmony Sketches

2010-03-10T22:05:00.000-08:00

There is this amazing web based drawing tool called Harmony (which you can find here) and these are some of the sketches I made with it. I think I might use it to make some kickass desktop wallpapers for ONaM.

I haven't posted anything in a while, mainly because I've been using my sketchbook to sketch and don't have a scanner. These are some digital doodles.

I got a mention on the Joystiq podcast (#116) at the very end for my photoshop of the hosts as "shirtless mustachioed men" (as Justin said).

Aaron Meets His Maker

2009-08-09T23:21:00.000-07:00

Not that I believe in gods of any sort, but fictionally speaking, I wonder what Aaron from Calamities of Nature would say if he met his god? Probably something snarky.

2009-07-27T01:07:00.000-07:00

Saw this video here on Go Nintendo. It sums up well what goes on in my head when I play the sword dueling in Wii Sports Resort.

2009-07-23T15:07:00.001-07:00

Its starting to get to that time again where I start hankerin for a site redesign. This was a test of something I could do that I'd probably be happy with. Going for a rough, old school graphic designy or comic booky feel.

Kurtz

2009-07-03T13:43:00.000-07:00

I love when Scott Kurtz draws in his more realistic style. I love how he he simplifies the features in a way that retains the essence of a person and can still have his cartoony expressions be believable on their faces. So I took a panel from a recent PVP and tried to copy what he had done.

Leo

2009-07-03T13:07:00.000-07:00

Tried a different shading technique on this warm up of good ol Leonardo the Ninja Turtle.

Captain Lian Fisher

2009-06-29T22:54:00.001-07:00

Caught up on Marooned today, so as a warm up I thought I'd do a piece o fan art of the newly revealed addition to that comic's cast, Capt. Lian Fisher. Sadly I did not take into account before I had started that I am not good at drawing women. Alas.

Breathe Concepts

2009-05-25T19:34:00.001-07:00

I'm thinking about trying out doing an all ages story about a teenage superhero. I'd like to do it in a similar style to the patapon-ish thing I did a little while back. These are the first concept images I've come up with for the main character and his archenemy.

Calamities of Nature

2009-05-12T23:30:00.001-07:00

A great webcomic that I read pretty religiously, Calamities of Nature, recently got featured on the Digg front page which is amazing. I did some quick doodlins of the main characters while I was listening to Kris Straub on UStream Tuesday night.

Star Trek

2009-05-12T22:45:00.000-07:00

Warm up doodlins. Star Trek was awesome.

Patapon Style

2009-05-12T22:26:00.001-07:00

I enjoyed drawing the Patapon in the most recent comic so much that I wanted to try and draw something else in the same style.

Webcomics Panel In Toronto

2009-04-07T19:48:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a panel here in Toronto where a bunch of amazing cartoonists talked about webcomics. Among them was Ryan North whom I met and got to sign a book of his for me.

The panel was very good and informative, but a bigger deal to me was the fact that people were there who make comics. I know that might seem silly to you, but I've been making comics for coming up on two years now and I've never met or even seen anyone else who does it. For me, up until tonight, webcomics was something that never existed in real life for me, instead they were solely the domain of the computer.

In my real life there is no one ever discussing comics, I have to search that out in forums or on podcasts. And yet there tonight were people saying "yay, webcomics" and that made what I do and think about every day real for me for the first time.

Think of it this way. Say you were a whittler, that you were really passionate about whittling wood and you did it for a couple of years. When you talked to your family about it they were like "yeah yeah we get it, whittling is great." Some of your friends liked what you did but others were downright hostile and took every opportunity to mock you for whittling. And then one day you got to hear the worlds greatest whittlers speak about the topic and suddenly you weren't in a vacuum anymore. You realized, more than empirically, that there was a whole world of whittlers out there. And you smiled.

Sorry if I was rambling, but I just had to get these thoughts out.

Marooned Inspiration

2009-04-06T13:00:00.001-07:00

I read a great sci-fi adventure comedy strip called Marooned. Recently its been building up to a reveal of a race of martians called the Volotrum. All this anticipation lead me to try and come up with what I thought they might look like. Above is just the sketch, I'll let you know when it gets posted where to find the finished drawing.

Journal Comic

2009-04-05T12:53:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been thinking: what if I did a journal comic? But instead of people I did it starring aliens in place of the people in my life? This is the first very rough sketch from that idea.

Emo Superman

2009-03-09T18:16:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I need to take a break from what I'm drawing and do something entirely different. Emo Superman was one of those times.

Merman Tickling a Fish

2009-01-28T16:35:00.000-08:00

Its been a while since I posted anything, so this is a warm up sketch from last week. I'm really pleased with the human figure there, despite the weirdness of his head shape and size.

Presentation Comic

2008-12-14T18:00:00.000-08:00

I had a presentation to do for school and so I made a comic for it. As it turns out, I wasn't allowed to use any visuals in my presentation, so no one got to see the comic. Anyway, this is it.

80's Ent

2008-12-14T17:56:00.000-08:00

A colored 80's Ent.

Jim's New Look

2008-11-18T05:28:00.000-08:00

This is the sketch page I made while coming up with Jim's new look. I really like the look of cardinals and wanted to go in that direction. Also on this page are shots of how Jim's brother and father will look in the upcoming storyline on oNaM.

Comic Strip Improv

2008-11-09T19:24:00.000-08:00

Over at the Halfpixel.com forums they've started a comic strip improv project. These were my entries for the past two weeks. The themes were Guilty Pleasures the first week and Lost Car Keys the second week.

More Warmups

2008-11-07T12:13:00.000-08:00

These are the warmups that I've done before the past couple comics.

2008-10-29T08:07:00.000-07:00

Did these the other day, they were inspired by some warmups that I did for this past Tuesday's comic (10-28-08). I quite like drawing Skull from PvP. I'll post the warmups soon.

2008-10-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

I recently did a bunch of sketches of other webcomics characters. The comics they're from are:
(from the top) Capes N Babes, Marooned, Ominous Knife, Calamities of Nature, and Fancy Secrets.

Congratz on 300 Comics

2008-09-19T18:11:00.001-07:00

I just read Scott Dewitt's 300th Fanboys comic and it inspired me to try my hand at drawing the sort of creature that would wear a blue shell. If you haven't checked out Fanboys yet, please do so.

Sketch Dump!

2008-09-06T15:33:00.001-07:00

These are a bunch of sketches I did this past week. I'm trying out a couple of different styles these days.

Old Soldier Guillaume, Kicking Ass

2008-08-05T17:32:00.000-07:00

This is a piece I did for the Comment of the Week contest at oNaM. It's the main character of the strip, Guillaume as an old Solid Snake. This is probably my favorite thing I've ever done. I'm always trying to grow as an artist, so hopefully this won't be my favorite for too long.

Below is the same piece but with a different style of shading.

First Post

2008-08-05T17:02:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome. Most of you will know me from my gaming comic 'of Noobs and Men'. This'll be the place where I post sketches and completed artwork that I've done. Some of it will be related to gaming, but most, not so much.
