FRANKENSTEIN FRIDAY !

Hey, did you guys know that the last Friday before Halloween every year is Frankenstein Friday ? Yeah, I didn't either until today. Anyway, just did a quick 5 minute sketch on my lunch break to celebrate the occasion. Enjoy !

BANG YOUR HEAD !

Just another quick, very random sketch to post today. This is NOT what I intended on drawing today. I was planning on doing something different, but when I tried to get started this morning, I apparently forgot how to draw. Just a slight case of artists block. Later on I came back and picked up my brush pen and this is what came out ! Hope you like it !

ZOMBIE !

Here's a quick zombie sketch I threw together this morning. Certainly seems appropriate for the season ! This is about a 20 minute sketch done with brush pen & multiliner on 9x12 Bristol board. Hope you guys like it, and feel free to leave comments below. I'm always open to suggestions for subject matter, so if there's something you want to see, let me know !

INKING MODOK - FINAL

Here's the final inks for Kasra Ghanbari's MODOK commission by David Finch. This was probably about 6-7 hours of work altogether, about 30 minutes to an hour at a time. The paper I had it printed on was not the best quality, so I had to go over most of it twice. I used a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen for most of the piece. I used Copic Multiliners for all of the straight technical lines, and just a regular paint brush & ink to fill in the crazy bubbles. It's by no means perfect, but I still like the way it ended up. I really enjoyed doing this piece ! Hope you all enjoy it (especially you, Kasra) !

100 BULLETS - AGENT GRAVES

 

I've been reading 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso lately. It's an amazing crime story from Vertigo Comics. This is Agent Graves, the main character behind the scenes of the multiple stories going on in the series. Just another quick sketch I threw together.

Also, the guys over at THE SINDIECATE are doing a 100 bullets theme this week. Go check out the amazing art of Ryan Ottley, Mike Choi, David Lafuente and other amazing comic artists !

SATURDAY SKETCHING

Hello everyone ! Just sitting around relaxing and I threw a quick sketch together, so I thought I would post it.

INKING M.O.D.O.K.

And once again I've been MIA from the blog for a couple of weeks. Very sorry for that, just been very busy !

Anyway, last week Kasra Ghanbari, a fellow Chicagoan and the co-creator of the highly anticipated comic MONOCYTE, posted this M.O.D.O.K. piece by superstar artist David Finch on twitter :

Now, Kasra is apparently the worlds biggest M.O.D.O.K. fan, and he owns this piece along with several other amazing comissions of the character . In his tweet, he asked if anybody would be up to the task of inking this monster. I don't know if he was serious or not, but I figured I'd give it a shot. He e-mailed me some high quality scans, I had a couple copies printed out and I've been working on it little by little ever since.

Here's what I have so far :

This thing is a monster. This is probably a total of 2-3 hours of work and I've barely made a dent in it. But I'm enjoying it. I think you can learn a lot as an artist by doing things like this. I'm going to work on it and post some updates here (along with more original art as well ).

By the way, Monocyte #1, by Kasra and the amazing artist menton3 comes out next week ! I've been really excited for this book to come out, as it looks absolutely amazing ! If you haven't heard of it, you can check out a 12 page preview here and an free 8 page digital prequel here ! Check out the links and make sure to go buy issue #1 when it hits stores !

Thanks again for reading !
