9x12 Full Figure - $50


I love meeting fans, other artists, and anyone who has an interest in drawing and comics, so drop by and say Hi! I guarantee it'll be worth your time!

Hey cool! Inks for the first four pages of my graphic novel Dust! Hope you enjoy!

Doing them for my Sequential Art Senior Project at SCAD.

Fix - Page 4

I've been working on a short story over the school break. It's an 8 pager that will be featured The Underground Comix show on February 8, 2013 at the Ashmore Gallery here in Savannah, Ga.

I've been having a good time with these pages and I figured I'd drop in and let everyone see how it's been (slowly) coming along!

Punisher

Warmup drawing today before inking. Punisher is pretty cool. I always enjoy drawing big muscular dudes with guns, so it was just soothing the Id today.

Enjoy!

Line Out - Short Story

Final Pages for my Visual Storytelling class at SCAD. We did finished pencils of the final set, and then inked and lettered.

Enjoy!

Max Starwind - The Reaper

Last in the Max Starwind Series for Cover Design. Enjoy!

Looper

Joe from Looper.

Loved that movie.

Max Starwind Desolation - Black and White

Here's the black and white version of a cover I'm working on as the next project for my Cover Design class at SCAD. We will be doing three different covers featuring my professor's character Max Starwind.

Each cover will be based on a different theme. This cover is based "Heroic".

I'm please with how it turned out so far.

Enjoy!

Belgariad Cover Process

Hey all! So here's just a quick walkthrough of my first project for my Cover Illustration and Design class!

We are to take an old property and re-imagine it for a modern audience. I decided to do the fantasy novel series The Belgariad. I enjoyed the novels quite a bit and I think they could make a cool graphic novel series.

Here's a rundown of the process!

I start with a rough thumbnail for the composition.

Next I make a tight rough based on the thumbnail.

I lightbox a blown up version of the rough, add details and tighten up the rough.

Finally, I ink it!

I did forget to mention that I did a small black placement study on a small printout of the pencil page so that I didn't have to place it all with in the pencil stage.

Enjoy!

Line Out - Thumbnails and more!

Hey all!

So classes have just started up again, and I'm really looking forward to the new quarter! This quarter I'm finally getting a class that focuses on making finished comic pages, as well as a class for Cover Design! Both are going to be alot of fun for me, as well as challenging me in new ways!


Most of the stuff I've been working on for these classes has been process work, but I thought it would be fun to show some of the sketches and designs, as well as thumbnails for the final pages.

For the rest of the quarter I'll be working on a story called Line Out that I wrote for this class. It's a short scene involving two computer hackers trying to escape from some MIBs in a crowded bus terminal. Anyway, it's all sci-fi and stuff, so I'm pumped to draw it.

Kara, my protagonist. She's gotta cool robot arm that has really powerful hacking technology built in that can interface with her brain. 

Vincent, my other lead. He's more of a side kick sort, but he is also a proficient hacker.

For this class we will actually be doing 4 sets of 4 thumbnails for 16 total. Eventually we will be doing 3 of the four sets to finished completed pages!

Here are the first two sets. I think it would be fun to show two different ways to tell the same story, and also show a little bit of how I work. Thumbnails are basically for me, I end up redrawing everything later anyway, but here I can get a good idea of what I want on each page, the pacing, and a basic idea of framing and composition.

This is my first set, and probably overall the closest in my head to what I was thinking as I wrote. There are a few panels here and there I will definitely need to do some serious perspective work on, but I'm pretty pleased with these overall. 

The 2nd set. I think the last page here looks awesome, mainly that shot of the jump. Both are pretty epic but there is something about that one to me that I just really enjoy. 

So there it is! Over this quarter I don't know that I'll be uploading every version of the pages that I do, but the final inked and lettered version will definitely be up here! Keep an eye out!

Morning Music

Something I did for fun this morning before work.

Get lost in the music.

For Toppi

Today marks the passing of one of the greatest illustrators of the 20th Century, Sergio Toppi. He was a master of his art and a huge inspiration to me, as well as countless other illustrators, comic artists, and graphic designers around the world.

This is a little something I drew today in honor of him, in his style, as a memorial for him.

He will be sorely missed.

Cybertechnik

Here's the lines for a print I'm making for the upcoming Baltimore Comic-Con! I'm really excited to go, and I want to have some new art to show and doing sketches for people!

I'll have more info coming soon, as I find out my table numbers, as well as let everyone know what to expect price-wise for sketches and stuff at the con!

Hope to see you there!

Dragon Garrotte

Looks awesome right!?

Iron Man and HeroesCon

Fun little Iron Man sketch I did the other night!

I'm heading to HeroesCon this weekend June 22-24th! Come and visit me! I'll be at the SCAD booth 615/617 at different times throughout the day, as well as wandering the floor and checking out cool art!

Hope to see you there! I'll have original art for sale for those interested, as well as sketches. I'll also be working on some upcoming projects while I'm there so be excited to see some never before seen works!

Enjoy!

Another drawing done for my inking class!

I took this as an opportunity to do a concept art cover for a story I'm developing right now!

Enjoy!

The Fountain - Illustration

Ink study of Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain movie poster.

Did this for my advanced inking class.  I really like this poster, it has alot of cool stuff going on visually, and I thought it would be a great challenge to try and translate this into black and white and line.
