I’ve been busy and really crappy about posting random stuff lately. But I did want to put these up. They’re the sketches I did while I was at Wizard World Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago.
Decided I wanted to do a little bit of digital painting style experimentation… so I drew up a quick sketch of Harley Quinn and tried painting it in a few different styles… Would love to know what people like best.
I actually planned to do a big long rant on why we NEED sexism in comic book stories (how’s that for a teaser… try and figure that one out) but I was busy with a bunch of stuff today and didn’t to finish it. Maybe I will later. Instead, while I was waiting on hold…
Every time I do a new sketch I always say “let me know if there are any requests” (well, at least I do when I remember to say that). A few sketches ago, Joy recommended I draw Magik. When she said that, I was amazed because I hadn’t realized that I actually hadn’t done that…
Another sketch card. One that I’ve been putting off. But I figure I needed to do it eventually.
I did a sketch card of Misty Knight almost two years ago. I decided that I needed to do one of her partner Colleen Wing too, mostly just to match the set (even though Misty is probably more famous in the comics right now) but also, I just really like how my Daughters of the…
I’m pretty sure the only reason Link didn’t request Spider-Gwen back when Iw as taking sketch card requests was that she didn’t exist yet. But her costume is really fun, so I decided to draw her anyway. If anyone else has any requests let me know and I’ll add them to the list.
Day 48 of 365 days. Won my nightly poker game in record time and then I was just sitting up watching TV (I don’t sleep much) and when midnight hit, I decided to get a jump on todays self portrait. I was especially eager since what I had planned seemed like it was going to…
an in progress version of this picture. There was the very beginning of some ink work done before I decided to redo the entire thing in Illustrator. You’ll note that here she’s more defined and less mangaish, while still kind of cartoony. Blah, my pencils are crap these days. I’m so out of practice.

an in progress version of this picture. I decided to digitally ink and recolor it in illustrator. My first attempt at doing that. Previously I had always inked everything on paper before scanning it to color. Did quite a bit of redrawing once it was on the computer. You’ll note she’s more cartoony and manga-ish. Her arm is shorter. Her legs less defined. Her hair is completely different.
