Sketch book Cover

I'll admit that I was starved for something "Big Ass". After that last sketch, I sat back and thought to myself "what to do next". I had this plan to draw Power Girl for a couple months now. She's already known for being top heavy but a size in apple bottom jeans never hurt in my book. Everybody's got there own interpretation of her. I considered using it as a cover to my next sketch booklet. That is "If" I get enough material ready for Dragon con. We'll see how it goes from there.

Just warming up

I been MIA for a long time now. Sorry the part time grind and the small gigs I have going on have been eating up a lot of my sketching time. OK. I'll admit that when I got the chance to sketch something the first thing that came up was CHEESECAKE!! I'll prolly be rolling out another one or two soon after just to get this out of my system.

Johnrokk Reel 2009

I haven't made up a new demo in years. My only other demo is one that I made shortly after joining Wild Hare. Gotten lost some where in the shuffle, I can't begin to think of where it is or find half the materials for it. Well out with the old I guess. Some some of the projects featured date date from as far as when I first joined Primal. Much thanks to them for letting me use those files. It was such a hassle back in the day to get anything from Wild Hare and if I ever see anything I did from Radical it'll be a long time coming.
A buddy of mine Casey suggested that I start this up and I had it finished sometime mid January. Its was about time and I haven't posted anything in what seems like an eternity. Looking to make some changes as far as my work habits are concerned. Not a new years resolution mind you. Just trying to reach a balance in my Work schedule and my personal projects. Hopefully I can start posting more frequently.

Jane, his wife.

I wanted to get them both done together but this holiday work has been killing me. Well here's Jane just in time for christmas.

Cool your Jets

I don't like posting unfinished work but Josh Greathouse convinced me to go with this. I can always update it later he said and I figured he had the right idea. A friend Erica asked me what I would do next and I thought that Jane would be a fun one to draw. Plus I love me some Astro. Why not Orbity? I hate the little thing! Why? Knock knock. Who's there? Where's Orbity? He's dead cause Astro ate him!

Ya load 16 tons and what do ya get?

Like that check from Green ronin if you were holding your breath and waiting for me you would have died by now. I been away from my desk for months now. I had a plan to redesign all my favorite superheroes as street thugs and hoodlums but It's not going to happen anytime soon. My part time is waring me down and this coloring gig with Stokes is a guarantee that I wont have any free time to work on my own projects. He is that Luke cage 3 qtr that I told Steve about. By the time I get back to finishing it I'll probably want to work on something different.

Ghetto Fist

I did a sketch a while back of Luke Cage and Steve suggested that I do one of Iron Fist. I tend to sit on these things till I have an idea of where I want to go with them. In this case as I was wrapping up that Velma piece I had a sudden inspiration. "What if all those years of hanging around Luke Cage made Iron Fist Ghetto?" Which, immediately became; "What if Eminem was Iron Fist?" The idea had me laughing my ass off. He was supposed to have a microphone and sneakers to go with his hoodie. As I sat down to sketching, I started listening to "Triumph" and "Iron Flag" over and over. It didn't take long before the Wu tang albums started influencing my decisions. I eventually wound up changing the concept a final time to reflect The Wu tang Clan angle. After all that, I still kept the hood.

Velma

Yeah, I know. You took one look and you knew she was a genius. Ha! I'd been planning on doing this sketch for a couple weeks but I didn't have the time to sit down and work on it. I'll admit that I liked Velma back when she was built like a brick house. The only problem was that she was a little to butch. When she got redesigned in What's new Scooby doo they made her mousy and petite. I got no hate on it, I just missed how big she was. All in all, she fit the kind of character that I would like to add some unnecessary pounds too.

Hell on Ice

It feels really good to get another commission done. I just hope Brian likes it. This is an Illustration I did for a friend of the Studio that stopped by the booth at Dragon Con. He wanted me to make up an art piece of his hero Martin Brodeur. Once I found out the guy played for the Jersey Devils, it was on. Honestly, I like the teams color scheme. If your a video game nerd like me you may catch the reference to Johnny Maximum.

Stacey

I finally decided to pass the coloring of Anvil Chorus of to another artist. Dragon con convinced me to get back to what I enjoyed doing. Someone came to me and said that he had seen my work online and asked me for a commission. It was be cause of a contact from studio revolver. All he said was "No Blondes!", and told me it was a long story but I suspect that it may have something to do with an Ex. I started on this piece this afternoon and managed to wrap it up before dinner. It felt good to put the comic down and move on to something else. I hope that the new colorist works out. I honestly couldn't put as much effort into coloring the comic pages as I thought I would.
