Just not in place of the Hulk statue. Pay attention, kids– hostage negotiations are all an integral part of the institution of marriage. Take notes, I’m passing along gold here.

On with the sketch!

Not counting yesterday, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted multiple-image Skratchadays, so I thought with all these Free Comic Book Day images on hand, why not?!

A little bit of everything here, from mutants to busty kittens to women torn between a ninja and Nick Fury’s son. Digest those little trivia pieces for a sec.

Okay, yeah– hope you dig them! The owners seemed to. Hard to tell when the sun is screaming down at you, y’know? hehehe

Featuring some of the full commissions from last weekend’s MegaCon in Orlando, Florida!

Drew two Gambit commissions at this show– funny thing is, originally the guy wanted a commission of Gambit, then changed his mind after I’d started! So I started over with the character he wanted, and it turned out well, too (hopefully I get a scan in my email so I can show that one around, too). Afterward, I kind liked where the Gambit piece was heading, so I started back on that piece.

Five minutes later, a gentleman walks up to the table and starts watching me draw the piece. He inquires what it was for, and I tell him the story I just related to you gentle readers. Hearing that, he fell silent and watched me draw a few more minutes, then asked if HE could buy the  Gambit as soon as I was done with it! Obviously, liking money and how you can use it to pay bills and obtain sustenance, I accepted and a few mintues later I handed it over to him. Wish I had a great scan of that one, too, actually…

Anyway, I also did this one with Rogue. Haters gonna hate, but Gambit is one of the most alluring characters to people on the verge of reading comics, I’m finding… Particularly those that left comics to start into manga and anime. Fascinating stuff!

Drawn in blue pencil on 11 x 17 inch bristol. Converted to greyscale in Photoshop.

I usually do commissions in regular pencil or ink and Copic markers (depending on what’s requested) but at shows I’m finding it easier to work with a blueline pencil to reduce smudging and keeping it clean on the show floor. They don’t erase as well as a normal pencil, but that’s teaching me to be more precise with my lines, which I like.

Enjoy!
