Hey look– it’s a commission–  Not terribly surprising for the Skratchaday blog so far this year. An original character I was commissioned to render in my own style. Here, seen in pencils, before inks, effects (Kirby Crackle, woooo), and colors. On their way!

Everyone make sure you’ve got copies of #0 from Double Feature‘s Fantasy #2– information below!

Hey, look– it’s Twofer Tuesday–  I guess I didn’t think these two deserved their own separate entry, so here ya go. Here are the quick pencils I worked up before getting these pieces inked and toned for the holiday rush of commissions (which was a spectacular success, by the way– KEEP ORDERING, MY BILLS LIKE BEING PAID).

People that watch me over at deviantArt won’t be surprised by the next several Skratchadays, but after that is some new stuff for you guys. Enjoy the new year of Skratchaday!

Thor and Thing

Drew this for Evan “Doc” Shaner last night– figured I liked it well enough to share with all my favorite friends, followers, and fans– enjoy!

Baroness, Stormshadow, and Firefly

Dragon and Mr. Glum from Savage Dragon

'Hero' owned by David Hammond

White Witch from the Legion

Here’s another four commissions– the Cobra one I’m fairly pleased with, definitely. I always enjoy illustrating the Cobra-aligned characters in the G.I. Joe universe, and this commission was a breath of fresh air in that it wasn’t just another ninja piece. Always fun!

I won’t lie– Savage Dragon is one of my favorite comics currently being published. Erik Larsen’s work on that book is inspiring to see unfold, and so far this year he’s put out 15 issues! Crazy. I’d love to do a creator-owned book at Image one of these days… here’s hoping! That’d be very cool.

Hero is a creator-owned character I was requested to render. I had a heck of a time working out how to draw his helmet, but in the end it turned out pretty strong, I think.  Fun fun.

White Witch is from the LEGION books DC Comics puts out, and the reference I found for her online was fascinating– I’d never seen that before! The eye tendril thing is kinda creepy in some ways. I’ve been playing catch-up on all matters Legion, I’m afraid– although it’s one of the top requests I get for convention sketches and commissions, I never really investigated the series myself until fairly recently. The Jim Shooter/ Francis Manapul run was simply GORGEOUS, and I really wanted to see where it was headed. Too bad it got cut out behind the scenes towards the end of their run. :/

Enjoy!

Ultimate Spider-Man commission

Homage to Amazing Spider-Man #39

Thought I’d share some of the many, many commissions I’ve been working on lately. Here’s two Ultimate Spider-Man pieces and a Nova.

Spidey is always a fun subject– he’s one of my favorite characters. Here in particular he’s represented by his younger, teenage, Ultimate Comics-self… which I’m pretty sure shows pretty glaringly from the unmasked pic there. Fun fun!

Nova is another one of those Marvel characters I’d love a crack at someday. I discovered Nova only a few years after I came into comics, and I loved his overall look and mood in the old series– and even enjoyed where they started taking him in New Warriors when it debuted, although minus the “KID” moniker they tossed on him originally.

Anyway, enjoy!

Here’s a few sketches from HeroesCon that I drew over the course of the weekend. Enjoy!

Here are a few more of my commissions and sketchbook pre-order pieces.  Ms. Marvel, Ultimate Spider-Man, and the Super-Skrull.

Enjoy!

Honestly, I never expected that I’d draw these guys at all in my career. Maybe that’s naive, I don’t know. Still, here’s a KISS commission piece for a sketchbook pre-order I had! Enjoy.
