Threw this together today. It's all true. I just didn't know it was true until recently.

Another Skwonk extremity.

Thursday, August 25, 2011





Skwonkfox is an exercise in trying to push my own boundaries. No curve can be pushed too far, no expression too extreme. I always feel my work is hampered by some indefinable something. So with Skwonk, I hope to just push and push and push. Even the yawn could have been -more-. Still, since he's not part of anything, there's no way I can mess him up.



Another page down. This one has two drawings from the original still in it. I hope to mix it up as I go along so that the transition isn't so obvious.

A rare female character design done for a friend. She liked it, so I guess it's successful.

Here is Fite page 5 and a new Biography. They're connected.

Saturday, August 13, 2011



Hey, even more Fite-based goodness. Went looking through the archives to see the three steps in making this particular page. I think there's a version missing, one of the first version but done with digital water colors. In any case, this is a six year span. I'd like to think that it shows that I've done some growing and learned a few things. And if not, well, I'm not worse off than I was before.


And one more for the day. With the later pages, I plan to keep the existing backgrounds so that there will be a smoother transition between the old work and the new. The idea is to make a more cohesive whole.


Got another page done today. Man, I like these SO much more than the originals...




It's hard not to share stuff I've been doing -somewhere-, so I'm choosing here as there are fewest people watching. Though it's backpeddling and I KNOW it's backpeddling, I've started redrawing the first section of pages of Fite. When looking at the comic as a whole, I don't feel right showing it off with those early, awkward drawings. I've also got it in my head to use it as a sort of portfolio piece, sending it out to places I'd love to work. To that end, since I can now draw Lucco + Co. a hell of a lot better than I could at the beginning of the comic, I'm redrawing them. And the thing is, I really miss drawing Lucco. He's my boy, my first real, distinct character and I'm proud of him. He doesn't have another story in him and I won't force one on him. I still want to draw him. So there.

Redrew this from yesterday.



I'm over this; not getting the job, but the subject matter was too good to waste.

Just some inking practice before work. I like the character. Probably too 70s, but there you go.
