White Lantern Martian Manhunter Lines

Here is another commission for my Bro Pablo. He loves green lantern, and red lantern, and orange lantern and yellow lantern etc. I know all about Martian Manhunter, but I wasn't totally familiar with the whole white lantern thing, apparently it raises superheroes from the dead and makes them kind like zombies....I guess. Anyway. Hope ya dig it. Color for Thor, Deadpool, Abe Sapien and this guy should be up in the next week.

Take it easy.

More Hellboy

I love drawing this character. Two versions, the first is my typical pallette with a complementary scheme and the neutrals left as neutral. The other one I pushed the neutrals more toward the greens to further the tension of that complementary scheme.

Hellboy Again

So here is another version of Hellboy for my sketchbook. I'm pretty happy with this one right now. Hope you dig it.

Ironfist Lines

Here is another character that I've never drawn but really been wanting to. I really like the design and drawing kung fu poses is just fun anyway. Lots of room to run with this one. Hope you guys like it. I'll be posting colors for him later tonight I hope.

Hope you are all well.

Nightwing

So I finally finished this one or so I think. I'll probably see something that needs tweaking just as soon as I hit the submit button. This one evolved quite a bit as I was working on it. A big thanks again to Tom Fiester for Kicking me in the butt and making me work harder. I hope you guys dig this one as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Nightwing Redux

So my pal Tom Fiester who has been doing some spectacular work on IDW's GiJoe covers emails me and he says in so many words, J, I'm digging this nightwing, but I think you could make it better and here's how and proceeds to give me some great tips on punching up the power of this pinup. He even takes what I originally posted and manipulates it in photoshop to show me what he's wanting. I spent the better part of my downtime yeasterday making the changes and I like how it came out. So here are the redone lines.

Hope ya like the redo.

Nightwing Pinup Lines

Been Wanting to draw a nightwing piece for a while now and last night the muse descended and I came up with this little composition. I'm looking forward to jumping into the colors on this and having a nice new print ready for Heroes in a couple weeks. Hope you guys are well.

Attrocitus Commission

Finally Finished this guy up yeasterday and got him posted on DA but not on here. There really aren't a lot of good images to follow for this guys design so I had to kinda piece him together from what I could get off of Comic Vine. Anyway, here ya go. Hope ya like it.

Hellboy Stuff

Been Drawing some Hellboy stuff inbetween commissions. Just some extra last minute stuff for the sketchbook Trying to get a few more mainstream characters in there. I drew a lot of obscure characters this year and I think the book could benifit from some of the heavy weights. That being said, here are a few pieces that I'm working on for a Hellboy montage, I'm hoping to have ready before heroes.

Spiderman Sketchbook Cover for 2010 Con Book

This will be the cover image for my 2010 conbook. I'll have these on sale for $10 with a free headsketch in the front for any fans that want to pick one up. I think that is a pretty good deal for forty pages of art and a head sketch. I think this one turned out pretty good, though per usual I'll hate it in about two weeks which is right when I'll have them printed and be feeling like I came up short on this. Still as drawing spiderman goes, he's such a tough character for me that I have to be a little proud of this one right now. I've posted it with and without the cover text.

Sketchbook Cover Redraw.

So I took another look at my last post and while in color it probably would have been ok, I decided to push it a little further and redraw the spiderman part of it. I think what I came up with is more along the lines of what I had originally envisioned. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Here ya go.

Spiderman Sketch Book Cover and Blog Header

This is the lineart for my new Sketchbook that debuts at Heroes Con this year. It will showcase the work I've done between Heroes Con 2009 and Heroes Con 2010. I should have colors up by tomorrow night and some more Green Lantern Stuff coming soon as well as a cover for a four page story I'm doing for First Salvo. Hope you guys are all well. Sleep tight.

Guy Gardner Red Lantern Commission Colors

Here he is all colored up. Hope ya like it. Thanks to Jala for dropping the dough to get this one drawn. Probably wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Hope you are well

Red Lantern Guy Gardner Commission

Ok, so apparently all hell has broken loose in the Green Lantern Titles. Some storyline called Blackest Night where every color in the rainbow now has a lantern ring. Some will live, some will die and some should die. Guy Gardner has apprently given in to the dark side and now has a red ring and a green ring. Know what happens when you mix those two colors, neutral right, or turd brown. Still, Guy is a cool character and this seems like a good opportunity for him to raise the ruckus we always knew he was capable of. Red lanterns are fueled by rage so I wanted to play on that and show just how dangerous an out of control Guy Gardner could get with a ring induced Gattling Gun. Colors to come.

Hope you dig it.

Kraven The Hunter.

That's a big gun you have there Mr. Kraven perched on your roof hunting spiders. I had a good time with this one and I'm still motivated to draw more of spidey's rogues gallery. I posted two versions to get your opinion on. One has a glow around the entire figure, the other just has the glow around the lion. Not sure which I like more.I have more Baddie Goodness coming your way soon. Now who do I want to draw next?

Hope you are all well.

Kraven The Hunter Lines.

Here is my next Spidey Villain Illo of Kraven the Hunter. He's always been a favorite of mine. I remember an episode of spiderman and his amazing friends way back in the 80's that showcased Kraven. I havn't read Kraven's last hunt, but I want to. Maybe i'll order it for myself off amazon. Anyway, Ihope you guys like this one. I'm looking forward to coloring it.
Hope you are all well.

Tweaked this pose a little and added the colors. Hope ya digs it.

Rhino Lines

So it was real close this morning when I checked my Deviant Art Poll for which spidey villain the people who pay attention to me on there wanted to see. The top two votes I was getting were for Kraven and Rhino followed by Venom and Hobgoblin. Seems like nobody appreciates the classics like Electro, the Vulture and Sandman anymore. Oh Well, this one was a lot of fun, though he might feel a little wanky. I tried to push the perspective just about as far as I dared to rally emphasize those horns on his head. Colors coming soon.

hope ya like it.

Goblin Colors

Here are two versions of my Green Goblin Illo. Reception of both pieces is pretty much split down the middle on Deviant Art. I'm leaning toward the darker purple. Feels more sinister to me. Hope you guys like them.

Green Goblin

I had so much fun working on that Carnage that I decided to draw some more of my favorite villains from Spidey's Rogues Gallery. I really like Spideys enemies and I like drawing them. He's the only character in my opinion who has a cast of baddies that can compete with Batman, and I think if I were forced to pick the better of the two, today I'd have to say I dig Spidey's more. Anyway, I'm gonna start coloring this now and hopefully I'll have a new color illo by late tonight.

Take Care.

Carnage Commission

This one ended up being a lot of fun. Brian Ballengee whom I met at Megacon Last weekend picked up a sketchbook from me along with his Pal Pablo and apparently they've felt like testing my drawing chops on some of the more obscure characters in the Marvel and DC universes. I know Carnage was on pretty much every cover Marvel put out 10 years ago but after whatever happened to him, he's been relatively left in comic limbo until Brian resurrected him last thursday as his commission. I never had much affinity for the character and for the most part, I really quit liking venom when marvel went Symbiote crazy but this guy was a lot of fun to draw and I'm pretty happy with the results. I did end up making some minor changes from the line art to the final colors. He was a little complicated and convoluted in the initial sketch so I simplified some of the drips and drool. Hope you guys like it. I'm had fun drawing a spidey villain. I think I'll do another one soon.

Agent Orange Commission

So now they have orange lanterns and red lanterns and blue lanterns to go along with the yellow and green lanterns. This guy here is named Agent Orange or Larfleeze to those he's killed. He was a fun draw and big thanks go out to my new pal Pablo that I met at MegaCon this past weekend. Hope you guys like the new art. More stuff coming soon.

Captain Marvel Lines.

Here is another quick Captain Marvel Sketch to help me sharpen up before the Madness that is megacon. I'll be heading down early in the morning. I've always loved Megacon. It was my first comic convention, I've made some great friends there and I have a lot of great memories. If you've never been you really should check it out. It is for the most part very family friendly with lots of great artists and other celebritites walking around and doing work for a modest fee.

If you make it down to the show, stop by the table and check out my wares. I'll have my 2009 Con book for sale as well as prints in 8.5x11and 13x19 for sale and as always I'll be busy plugging away at commissioned sketches.

Hope you enjoy the Captain Marvel. I'll be posting colors asap.

Catcha soon.

Batman & 2010

So I've been away for a while and now I know what its like when your blog says you haven't posted for 3 months. I used to wonder how people could let themselves go like that. Oh well...

So I needed some time away to recharge my batteries and get my head on straight again. 2009 was a great year for me art wise but a lot of other things suffered and I just wasn't feeling like spending time in the studio after the Iron Man cards.

I drew this Batman today because when I can't draw anything else, I can always bust out a batman to shake the cobwebs loose. Hope to have colors before bed time tomorrow.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.
