01/29/2010 - Lil Trigger Armageddon

One of my own characters created for My Lilz line. It was just supposed to be a goof off one shot thing but I am having a lot of fun with it. Gonna be doing lots more of her.. Maybe even a story..

01/28/2010 - Billy Tucci's "Shi"

Day 27 in the drawing a day challenge. Shi is a character created by William Tucci for his Crusade Comics.

01/27/2010 - Rogue classic

The original Rogue. The Marvel Universe changes looks so often , you can't tell with many titles who is who anymore. Different artists take over a title and jerk off all over it trying to claim some piece of it.. "Oh, did you see my redesign of Jean Grey??". Maybe that is why Wonder Woman will always be more identifiable that any Marvel female. This is close enough to the original Michael Golden - Rogue

That said.. I will probably in many cases when the inspiration hits, do my own revamps of characters... :)

Below is something else I worked on tonight. I inked this piece for Lee Kohse at Bloodfire studios. This past summer I inked part of an issue of Kindergoth, this is a promotional piece.

01/26/2010 - No time left!

Long story but I only had less than an hour to get something in tonight. My job kept me busy all day and evening today. But I did manage when I was do, to sketch something directly into the computer with my Wacom. Saved a tree right.. Remember.. This is just a 30 minute sketch.

01/25/2010 - Nik's Bum Bum

One thing I am not liking about the drawing a day concept is that some pieces like this, I wish I had spent more time on. Maybe I will stick to comicbook characters, and stuff I don't care about.

Thinking maybe I should have saved this for NUDE Magazine.

01/24/2010 - Lil Elvira

I went kinda simple tonight. I have an infection in my eyelid that finally ruptured today. It is brutally painful and I was almost gonna skip my piece for tonight.. but...

BTW. Some comments are coming to me about the Black Berry photo's in my blog. I do not as of yet have a scanner at home.. I am getting the money together for a large format scanner for at home but they are a bit expensive. So the only scanner I have to use is the one in my office. Because the challenge is to have a drawing a day, I don't want to wait for the next morning to get a piece up. So I post the phone pics until I get replace it with a scan. Usually it is the next day. Weekends are sometimes a wait, but sometime I work so I can get scans in. Ultimately I always get a scan up.

Going to pack some ice on my eye.. Enjoy!

01/22/2010 - After Frazetta

This is based on a piece by Frank Frazetta and was more of a practice piece where I modeled it more after my friend Nikki than I did an actual Frazetta girl. Not sure I am all that happy with it. I may work on it some more at some point, or maybe even do it over... On better paper.

Better scans to come.. Sorry, I don't have a scanner at home

01/21/2010 - Powergirl XL

Powergirl.. and then some.. This piece makes 20 days so far, which is nothing to Gene Gonzales who is 3+ years into his sketch a day adventure.

got into this with me are still going strong So far the original 3 (Buzz, Sal and myself) who started this challenge are going strong and are now joined by a few others of Facebook.

I think this is a good point to show some of the other work going on.

Buzz is a long time friend and comicbook artist. He is also a driving force in getting me off my lazy ass and getting some work done.

01/08/2010 Buzz - Cowboy BeBop
01/09/2010 Buzz - The Shadow
01/18/2010 Buzz - Rom Spaceknight

I will try to get Sal's work in tomorrow.

01/20/2010 - Troia

This character has been redone so many times.. I miss the original Nick Cardy with the shorts and ponytail. "Wonder Chic". I went back to a #2 secretary pencil for this.. It came out ok but I really missed my red pencils during it. Gotta get back on Lilz tomorrow... Have lots of inking and coloring to do but I will try to have a new sketch.

01/19/2010 - Catwoman

Put a little more time into this... about a day. I don't ink much of my work unless it is for PSP Tubes, but I thought as I was working on this that I could ink it.. Thats what took so long.

01/17/2010 - Lil Chun Li and Cammy

Barely got this in before Midnight.. The Internet went down at the studio today so most of the web work I had to do today, I had to do when I got home. I still may tighten this up at a later date before it goes into the sketchbook.

01/17/2010 - Lil Armageddon Cheerleader

No.. This has nothing to do with all the football games today, nor that some tv station is doing a marathon of "Just bring It" Movies..

I did two Lil Cheerleaders a few years back. One a devil girl, the other an angel and I called them the Lil Armageddon Cheerleader (Which side is cheering for you?). Well, they were popular and I have been meaning to add to the "squad".

I went straight from sketch to ink on this one so there is no red pencil.

I will update the scans on Monday

01/16/2010 - More Fae

Was a very busy day today and I am still out of town. Wasn't feeling well enough to try to get the scanner set up so... BlackBerry pic!.. Will add a scan on Moday

*New Scan Added 01/25/2010

01/15/2010 - Ann in nets

Out of town and spent part of the day in court, but I did manage to get this in. Thank God I had reference to work from. An old photograph I had taken of my friend Ann in fishnets. Good thing there is a scanner here because I am sick of Blackberry photos

Traveling tomorrow.

01/14/2010 - Darna VS Wonder Woman

So the other day I commented "Who is Darna" because I had just seen a clip from some movie or TV show from the Philippines. It had a hot girl dress in a very Wonder Woman'esq outfit on, beating up men, flying and bouncing bullets off her bracelets.. Well, Darna is apparently a big deal in the Philippines. She is the creation of comicbook artist Mars Ravelo. Darna has over time been the subject of comic books, TV series and movies and seems to be as popular there and Superman is in the US.

Now Mars apparrenly doesn't like the comparison of Darna to Wonder Woman, and once you research the character, yes, she is different, but it doesn't help avoid the comparisons when Darna deflects bullets with her armbands like Wonder Woman.. But again, once you look into the character, they are different..

:/

Anyway.. this was Darna VS Wonder Woman. I wont pick a winner.. That is not the fun part.

I am going to be away for the next few days making it tough to do my next days drawing.. I will find away.. I am bringing a scanner and my laptop.. Finding time and a comfortable place to work may be hard. Maybe it's be a drawing on a napkin at Denny's? There are no rules afterall

01/13/2010 - For my CILM'ers

For those who don't know, CILM is a company that sells the rights for people to use my work to create what are called Signature Tags on the Internet.. Don't know what a signature tag is.. If you have a Myspace page or most other community boards, and have a comments area, I'll bet it is littered with them and I'll bet most have at least one with my work on it... anyway... I am getting together a new pack of art to make available, and my Lil Fae are among my most popular images. The images will be inked and colored from this point, but I keep the pencils for sales.

This weekend I have to travel out of town to testify in court.. It will be interesting to see if I make my daily deadline. Crossed fingers.

01/12/2010 - Believe it or not.....

Ok.. Here is the real challenge to this particular drawing... Get it to completion without being driven mad by the TV show theme song.. I am gonna have to spend the night with my Ipod on drumming out this friggin song.

Funny thing is, while working on it.. I had thought that I was just doing a female version of the "Greatest American Hero" only to find out that they had shot a pilot for the "Greatest American Heroine"..

Gotta get this song outta my head...

By the way.. Who is Darna?.. OMG!

01/11/2010 - Lil Fae

Back to Lilz for a while.. I need to get some work done for CILM. I haven't turned in a pack since July.. So probably more Lil Fae over the next few days... maybe some other odd ones in between..

01/10/2010 - She Devil

Finally a little time to have some fun.. I was inspired by a bit of a drawing that Dave Hoover did on DevaintArt today.. A girl with a sword. Similar general pose, but I did my own thing with it. Gave her a bit of muscle so she could swing that big sword of hers. Having taken fencing in High school I know that it takes a bit of strength and endurance to hold even a thin foil out before you.. but a broad sword? That's gonna get heavy.

Gotta get back do doing some Lilz this week.. Business..

Maybe this week I will show some of the work being shown by Buzz and Sal. It is pretty awsome.

Enjoy

PS... Added at the last minute a rough quick sketch I had done that I will probably not be taking any tighter.. at least not for now.

01/09/2010 - Saturday Evening Hack

I had a busy day today, and it wasn't a day of drawing.. Finally home and exhausted, I wanted to get a piece done before I turned in. I had, sitting on my desk, a rough Sketch of Supergirl that I decided to work on. I think if I had to work completely from scratch, I wouldn't have finished. Thank heaven for unfinished sketches
