Starfire Redesign

Without getting too much into it, I think that the Starfire controversy last year was partly due to a failure in the writer and artist to properly convey the nature of the character and not so much in the skimpiness of it all. Koriand’r shouldn’t be covered up like a nun, she’s an alien princess [...]

So… Before Watchmen…

So... Before Watchmen...

The announcement of the oft-rumored Watchmen prequels, officially titled “Before Watchmen,” has taken the comic book world by storm in an understandably polarizing fashion. Alan Moore, unsurprisingly, has been quick to make a stand against the prequels saying that it’s “completely shameless” and “I want this not to happen.” I’ve been sitting back, taking all this [...]

Power Girl

Power Girl

Who doesn’t love Power Girl? I’ve been keeping busy (thankfully) so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to work on my own stuff but I’ve been wanting to draw Power Girl for a while so I gave myself a break and knocked this out. I like how it turned out but it’s just [...]

SKRATCHJAMS: Superman Redesign

My first SKRATCHJAMS entry in quite a while. The challenge was to, you guessed it, redesign Superman. I’ve been in a serious funk in the last few days, mostly because of the quality of my art. I started at least 4 different pieces and dropped them halfway through (or earlier) because I didn’t feel they [...]

The New 52 is upon us!

At midnight tonight, the entirety of the DC Universe will begin its relaunch of 52 titles starting at #1 along with day and date digital releases. It’s a bold initiative from DC that, while not completely bulletproof, deserves to be applauded. Living in New York has spoiled me a little but, now that I’m residing elsewhere, [...]

A (very, very late) “Green Lantern” review.

A (very, very late)

About a year ago, I saw the Clash of the Titans remake, thought it to be terrible and decided to write a review of it. I set up a post (header image and all) but days quickly turned into weeks and I never actually wrote more than a few words on my draft. After finally [...]

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player. [Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page] I understand that the 2006 Plastic Man pilot by Tom Kenny (of SpongeBob fame) and Andy Suriano has been floating around the web for a while now but I only managed to catch [...]

SKRATCHJAMS: Wonder Woman Redesign

So there’s this group on deviantART called SKRATCHJAMS that has weekly challenges to encourage members to do stuff they wouldn’t usually do. I joined, naturally, and I hope to be there every week submitting stuff (there are weekend challenges too but I’ll pass on those). This week’s theme was to redesign Wonder Woman’s costume and [...]

The Question

Good ‘ol Vic Sage, whose death in 52 was one of the most poignant things I’ve ever read in a comic. Hopefully, it won’t look like he’s confused what with all those question marks behind him and whatnot. I would’ve had a longer description of the piece along with a progress animation GIF and all [...]

First “Green Lantern” trailer

First

I was tempted to make a trip to see the new Harry Potter movie (a series a have little interest in) just to catch the above trailer. That’s how much I’m looking forward to this movie and said trailer, released yesterday, is just adding to that excitement. The short glimpses we get of Sinestro, Tomar-Re and [...]
