apparently i missed a batch

hey apparently i missed uploading a batch of sketches to this blog.

sketch dump

you ever feel like all your skills are fading away, your brain is melting and quite possibly you are past your prime (at mid twenties). cause that is how i feel most of the time. i am questioning online grad school (even though it is supposed to be for comic books). anyways sketch dump.

couple of weeks.

here are my sketches for my sketch blog from the past couple of weeks. i am really pleased with the creeper and demon and kind of pleased with the nuklon (especially the rocks) and metamorpho. i also just bought a convertible last week.

more sketches

i hope to add color to some of these recent sketches. i am trying to learn how to do that with more skill. here is a sketch of the question (for the batman list) and mary marvel for the jla list. vic sage as the question is one of the best characters.

ps i have been writing some stuff and hopefully this is getting me excited enough to actually make some comics in the not to distant future (or at least some comics pages)

finished with semester 1 of online grad school

i have finished up semester 1 of online grad school and am trying to play catch up for my sketch blog. here are some sketches from the previous couple of weeks. they are from the batman list jim gordan, harvey bullock, and renee montoya and from the jla list hawkman, hawkgirl and captain marvel. i plan on making colored versions of all of these. the colors and some of the inks have been done in manga studio (hawkman, gordan, bullock) the other three(cap marvel, montoya, and hawkgirl were inked by hand)

the past month

this past month (at least month's worth of sketches) are late primarily because for the past three weeks i have been battling being sick or sick ish. i had the flu one week and then was getting over that and thought i had beaten it and up jumps some sort of cold/sore throat strep like thingy. i also had two birthdays to celebrate in my family, a wedding anniversary, easter, and i have been trying to focus on grad school so as not to fail out of online illustration. i also saw an advanced screening of thor in 3d which i would recommend except the 3d part which caused fights scenes to be indecipherable, caused the depth of scene to be missing or look completely fake and all in all was done poorly. also there was a definite lack completely of balder the brave.
anyways here are my late sketches. they are catwoman(batman list), captain atom(jla list), firestorm(jla list) ra's al ghul (batman list) blue devil (jla list) talia al ghul (batman list) zsasz (batman list) and the atom (jla list). several of these were done with thumbnails and then being blown up and traced. the captain atom is entirely in sharpie liquid pencil and part of firestorm is as well.
sorry about my inability to do anything in a timely manner.

after spring break i thought things would go smoother

hey all
i had spring break a bit ago and thought i had things going smoother but really what i had was delusions. here are some sketches which happen to be late (for my sketch blog) and i had them done on time but didn't find the time to scan them and upload them. here they are for the batman list we have bane and hush and for the jla list we have maxima and fire(done digitally in manga studio). these are for weeks 12 and 13 (pretty sure- also fairly pleased that i went this long with out being totally behind on the sketch a week thing). i also found some time to work on some comics work with a fellow i met on digital webbing which means i worked on pseudo professional stuff this past week rather than just school and my own sketch blog. i may post some stuff for that comic later on.

grad school's foot meets my ass over and over and over and over

hey
once again this week grad school has kicked my ass. i think maybe it should be easier than this but i am probably wrong. anyways, i would be posting some work that i have been making in those classes if they all weren't receiving midling to poor grades.
so anyways here are some sketches from my sketch lists. it is the riddler from the batman sketch and boostergold from the jla list. the riddler was done in manga studio which i just got this week and it is pretty neat. sort of like photoshop (which i also ordered this past week but have not gotten it installed yet) and booster gold was done traditionally. hopefully we will see more of me playing with digital art.oh and soder is a brand of soda in the tick and i used it in the booster gold drawing because i want to see a cartoon of boostergold and the blue beetle in the vein of the tick but with booster as the tick and blue beetle as arthur.

i have been busy and very anxious this week in regards to grad school so this post is a smidge late. hopefully things go smoother. i also saw and really enjoyed the adjustment bureau and i also ate delightful steak at outback steakhouse(thank you government student loans-ha-ha). anyways here are some more sketches from my sketch blog. maybe i'll throw up some stuff i have been working on for classes. oh and i also got manga studio so i might be making some more digital images.
