Happy Birthday to me!

Hi folks! Long time no blogging! This whole month has been unfortunately busy for me due to MidTerms taking up my freetime-- as well as three more midterms underway. In the meantime, I would like to share with you some extra Comic Con art that I drew for my portfolio when I was preparing for Sunday's big event.

Hellboy

This has to be the third Hellboy drawing I've ever done. I really love the improvements here which are much better than the first two that I've drawn. The inking style really stands out.

Elmo Dollar

I really like this concept. I drew this sort of as a love letter to Elmo, From Sesame Street, who was at Comic Con at the Variant stage. I never got the chance to meet Kevin Clash, so unfortunately, I never got to show him. ;)

Rorschach Gizmo

Another retake of another favorite drawing I've done. I really loved the first time I drew Rorschach Gizmo last year, that I really wanted to preserve the idea and keep it in my portfolio, so I can demonstrate my inking ability. 

Fundamentalist meets Trick O Treaters

This is actually for an upcoming Halloween issue, for an article that's being written by my friend, Brittany Wethrill. I decided for this to imitate some Tim Burton art, with a dash of Tex Avery. ;)

 Justin 'Hawkeye' Casey

 Yes, Flying House fans-- another crossover between the Avengers and Flying House. Once again, all apart of my Superbook/Flying House meets Avengers fan art idea I've been dabbling with. I figured Justin and Angie would make a great pair for my portfolio.

Negaduck

And of course, I can't forget my early Disney Afternoon roots with shows like Darkwing Duck. After all, because James Silvani was gonna be there, I wanted to show him my Negaduck drawing. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to look at it because he was extremely busy at that moment. But he was extremely nice at the booth when I recapped with him. :)

Anyway, that's all I have to share. I hope to go more into detail on Comic Con as soon as the Midterms clear up.

Cheers!

weekend work out

Burnes Hogarth portrait practice

Just a little more portrait practice so I can nail down the cranium structure of the head better. Both of these look so good that it's hard to believe that there are a couple subtle errors in this.

 cross contour practice

Yesterday, and today, I started practicing with more cross contour techniques. I really should practice with variations of this sheet from my observational drawing book.

 Dexter's Lab sketchdump

 I'm trying to assert myself to doing at least one sketchdump a day for the month of March. So I started out this month with a sketch dump of Dexter's Lab, one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

various sketchdump

This was done to mess around with what I've learned so far and experiment with different styles, aside from Bobby Bender or Amelia Enmity.

 Bitch, I live in a F*ckin Trashcan!

Hah! I couldn't resist doing a sketch of Elmo and Oscar the Grouch. I like the 2nd one better because it shows more flavor for Oscar and Elmo. Plus, it allows me to experiment with how to challenge the typical art standards of the Sesame Street gang.

GIR

Reporting for duty! (Gosh, I miss drawing him).

Lindsay/Lydia Comic strip 

These are three individual takes of one comic strip that I've been trying to submit to the Forum-- my college paper. I've been hearing that the editor's reaction has been really sketchy, so here's hoping that this one will get accepting into this week's paper.

That's all for now folks.
