Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

I redesigned Wonder Woman a long time ago (not my favorite piece honestly) so when Project: Rooftop asked for Fan-Art Friday submissions of the warrior Amazon, I wasn’t sure whether to go for the classic costume or to try my hand once again at a completely new one. Obviously, I went with the latter. I’m [...]

Alternate title: How I learned to draw lightning. May I just take a moment to comment on Coipel’s amazing Thor design? Well, it’s amazing. There’s stuff about it that I didn’t realize until I sat down to draw it and man, it’s really the best Thor costume out there. Anyway, I’ve been working on this [...]

So Mr. Bryan Lee O’Malley is offering some sweet swag on Tumblr to three Ramona Flowers redesigns of his choosing. I toy with the idea of doing a couple of Scott Pilgrim characters every now and then so this seemed like a good opportunity as any. I went with jeans because we’ve seen enough variations [...]

This is Cyclops’ new design from Marvel NOW! which I very much like. In fact, I’d say Marvel’s redesigns are, generally speaking, much more successful than DC’s New 52 stuff. Just far less head-scratchers all around. I knew I wanted the crazy one point perspective lines but this actually started out much differently. Cyclops was [...]

Ron Marz took to Twitter to give insight into his writing process when prompted by a fan. It’s really good stuff and, while some of it might seem obvious, it’s important information to keep in mind. I’ve deleted some of the exchanges he’s had during this barrage of tweets (notably with Erik Larsen but you should [...]

After slaving over a background in my last piece, it’s nice to draw something simpler that I can knock out in a couple of hours. This is Miss America for Project: Rooftop’s upcoming Fan-Art Friday. I’ll be honest, I’m not super familiar with the character but that was all the more reason to give it [...]

It’s not very often that I’ll throw in a plug for other people’s work. Heck, it’s not often that I’ll throw a plug for my own stuff. Nonetheless, this particular project is something that I’ve felt very passionately about and I think it needs a little more attention. It’s been a few years since I [...]

For Superhero of the Month. The deadline to submit was today so I got this done from start to finish in a matter of hours which is quite the record. Didn’t think too much about the design and just went with my gut on this. Also, because I didn’t have the time to add a [...]

No, I haven’t seen the movie yet. Yes, I desperately want to. Dredd is one of those characters that I’ve been watching from the corner of my eye for many years now. He seems really awesome but I’ve never made the actual effort to read any of his comics. The movie that just came out, [...]

It’s oftentimes frustrating for me to work entirely digitally. Something about doing the line art on a tablet just doesn’t feel right unless I’m going super loose. That’s why making the line art to my Mario fights on paper generally leads to a smoother process but, oddly enough, that’s about the only time where something [...]
