Frozen: Arendelle Spring

Inspired by spring in Michigan.

(It would seem the cold doesn't bother Anna either.)

EDIT: One of the disadvantages to drawing digitally is that I'll often find myself leaping to render my idea as it first pops in my head, to jump on that idea while it's fresh and new instead of thinking through and sketching other possible interpretations. For example, this was the original drawing, that once finished, I realized, it wasn't really working.

Blizzard Beach

Another advent sketch, this one of Olaf living in up in summer!

Secret Santa Sketches

One of the local elementary schools asked me to make some sketch cards for the kids as part of a Secret Santa exchange.

Hiro and Baymax

Groot and Rocket

Groot and Rocket

All those who chose to oppose his shield must YEILD!

First time I've drawn Anna.
Seriously I've gotten more requests for Sven than her!

Dave... or maybe Steve

Olaf

Rapunzel, another Disney first for me.

Wolverine as Michael Keaton's Batman!

Starfox and Wonder Man as Harold and Kumar.
This sketch is actually for the Michigan Comics Collective Secret Santa Exchange.

Now I want to hear from you! Which card is your favorite and who would you request for a secret Santa sketch?

Sketch ya' later!

Happy Halloween: Monster-Sized Post with Podcasts!

Do I have some special treats for you!

It's a double dose on podcasts this week!

Geek Fallout: The Comic Book Episodes - Super Fight Dome 
Chris Lockhart, Chris Giada and myself match up fights including a supernatural showdown with Blade battling John Constantine and the Big Bra Brawl between Power Girl and She-Hulk!



Geek Fallout: Top 5 Movie Monsters
Jason Roberts, Derek Ash and myself gab about our favorite ghouls!



Many of the monsters we talked about are ones that I got to draw for the Halloween Party at Barnes & Noble with the Michigan Comics Collective.

Flyboy from "Dawn of the Dead"

Maria from "Metropolis"

Michael Myers from "Halloween"

Olaf is a homunculi given life through supernatural powers.
He probably chills with Frankenstein's Monsters on the convention circuit.

Tarman from "Return of the Living Dead"

Trash from "Return of the Living Dead"

Were-Wolverine!

Captain America takes the cake as my most frequent request

Norris Head from "John Carpenter's The Thing"

Rough sketches including the two biggest "Michaels" in horror

Reinterpretations of scenes from classic horror movies

Hope you have a safe and Happy Halloween! 

Leave a comment letting me know what you liked and what you'd like to see me draw.

Now its time to start working on designing my Christmas cards. Sketch ya' later!

Warm Hugs for the End of Summer

Continuing with the commissions that I posted last week, Emily was eager to have me draw some other Disney characters as well. In her request for Olaf, I saw an opportunity to polish up a sketch I had done earlier this summer. I may tinker with this one a bit more, I could really stand to experiment with my application of color.

Another animated Disney sidekick who stole the show that Emily was looking to have drawn was Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy done up in this Alphonse Mucha Art Noveau style. 

I had hoped to make this a do a double theme with Olaf and Groot both giving hugs. Although tree huggers are likely to come away with plenty of splinters from Groot. Ouch! 

I may come back to that some time later, but its September now, so I'm starting to brainstorm ideas on what I should do for Halloween next month.

Please make any suggestions you would like to see in the comments!

Fair Weather Sketches (Day 1)

This is the week of the Midland County Fair. The local comics shop, Collector's Corner was gracious enough to let me set up at their table to do so more sketches. 

Determining a winner depends on the adaptation. If it were Godzilla vs. The Megazard, the victor is Godzilla no question. Megazord is just a robot, it'd be like tearing into an aluminum can.

But if it was Godzilla vs Zyuranger's Daizyujin, it'd be Daizyujin no question. Godzilla is a dinosaur with "god" in his name, but Daizyujin IS a dinosaur deity.

Yeah, the Sentai is weird like that.

The nipple-less Hulk returns!

Superman

Michelangelo with his first love, pizza!

Lara Croft.

I gave a picture of boobs to a teenage boy. I feel like I've just given a gun to a maniac.

  

Ashly, Reed, and Danyele.
These guys were willing to stand still for a long time!

Olaf

Wolverine sans mask

 

Kyth and Brandon. Another portrait! 

Tanner as a cowboy. Theres something about these portraits! 

Another Olaf!

Sven

Maximus

Zombie Deadpool

The Joker

A simple sunflower was the best way to end a rainy day. 

 

I set up a tip jar at my table. I should have thought of this a long time ago!
