Not that I dislike Cars for any reason, it’s just far from my favorite of their films. BRAVE is looking amazing from the trailer so far!

Commissions are now open for the San Diego Comic-Con! If you’re attending and want a commission, drop me a note and we’ll make things happen!

Not that I’m not infinitely pleased that the Avengers are currently the top book month after month, but doesn’t seem weird that there’s next to no interest or hype behind X-Men? Man, if you’d have told me that ten years ago that it would be the case today, I’d have scoffed walked away. Such a weird marketplace at the moment…

What did you pick up? Were there any creators in attendance signing and sketching? Spill the beans! This was a crazy great year for FCBD– share the love!

On with the sketch!

I dig the Wolverine in the brown and tan– call me old-fashioned, but it best represented the ferocity of the character. In my mind, anyway. All the stripes, seams, and slices in his current look kind of look silly to me. He’s not the kind of guy that would wear much of a uniform anyway, but when he does? I think he’d pick something that gets the message across fast, not something designed to show what he DOES, really, y’know? Maybe it’s just me.

On with the sketch!

Kitty Pryde and Lockheed– it’s been a short while since I’ve drawn them, so I thought I’d end the week and wave goodbye to April with a fun little sketch I did the other day. Enjoy!

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!
