Hey, hey, picture time. It's picture time! Won't you enjoy some pictures of mine?

Because I'm sure you were all wondering:
New York Comic Con went REALLY well! The Path sold really well, and good times were had by all. My fellow Trashy Bohemians, Juno and Jojo, had really great sales of their books as well!

You can go check out the ODK blog for details and some pics.

In the meantime, I haven't really posted here in forever. So here're some pictures! ENJOY!

Jockey of the Rings


The fruit of my labor for today/last night.. ish.
This is my main character. Right here. That image right there. ( Though he doesn't dress like that. I just like silly outfits. <3 ) This will probably be a chapter cover or something. I just wanted to try out my new tablet, really. :P

Yes, my old graphire died a terrible horrible belated death. At Best Buy I was confronted with an epic decision. Would I spend everything I had in the bank on an Intuos 3 or face the unknown terror of a tablet called Bamboo Fun?

Okay, the decision only took all of two minutes to make. I'm flat freakin' broke, but I'm soooo happy with my new tablet. <333

So I just wanted to prove that I HAVE been drawing... just very slowly. Getting straight As in university takes up more of my time than I'd like, you know. ;)

Here's a part of the page of Atlantis Paradise I'm re-drawing:



Also, it was my birthday a couple weeks ago. My brother drew me this awesome Sin.



ANNND last of all, I just wanted to show off my puppy-to-be. ;) We're heading off to the icy depths of Pennsylvania in 4 weeks to pick the little guy up. He's the middle puppy in both pictures.





AND THAT'S IT!

What have you guys been up to lately? ^_^

Death Shot HO!

Hi hi hihihihihi!

I'm very talkative today and I'm not extremely sure why, but it seems to have rubbed off on my typing.. SO.. I thought I would post some sketches and give you all a glimpse into the AWESOME WORLD of my little green spiral notebook which has magical anti suck abilities or something because I can't draw diddly-squat on white paper anymore. It must be a curse.

I stayed at a hospital for the better part of last week and apart from a steady diet of vending machine food and, of course, my poor relative, it was pretty nice. It was quiet and I found a big ol' table that I could sprawl my things out on and DRAW on. Uninhibited! FREE AS A BIRD! So I did several sketches and a lot of inking. Hooray! Course, now I'm back at home and we'll see how productive I can continue to be. :P

These have to do with my latest rewrite. ( OMG A REWRITE! HOW ORIGINAL OF ME! )
So, um, enjoy?!







TV Raptor says watch more TV!


TV raptor also told me to tell you: Rar!
Hey everybody! So sorry I haven't posted anything in here until now, I have been alternating between being busy or sick or both! (Currently my lungs are trying to escape through my mouth...goody!) Plus I had no idea what to put in here, all the awesome stuff in here intimidates me! (gosh I sound like a total butt-kiss but I am being honest!) So here's my pipe-cleaner raptor...standing on a TV set (it had the best light in the room, I suck at photography!)
Anyway I'm here to ask something....
I was already planning on cameoing everyone I've met at the WW conventions in my comic (with its never-ending party...but I'm trying to wrap it up eventually) but I also wanted to do this with all you cool MM member's characters on one page.
Anyway the question is, which of your characters would you like me to toss into the party? I'll post the image here when I'm done though, for youse that aren't a fan of the comic so you can see what I did to your precious characters! mwahahaha! (If you don't want me to draw them in there let me know though, I'm just extending the invitation here)
I half fancied drawing everyone as an M&M candy just now...sweet.

So I'm a bandit-

Yo! All you salty sea-devils, if you didn't see the Zac man's awesome Flash skillz, then ye best be scrollin' down. So sayeth' the Wingnut.

So, I had a blast drawing that Jack and Jill picture right? Like an obscene amount of fun. And I thought to myself, "Self, that was a really fun picture. You should do something in that style again." And I got to thinking, Jack and Jill would make an awesome crime fighting duo.


Jill was colored with prisma colors, and I'm thinking about digitally coloring Jack. Not gonna lie here folks, I'm having a BLAST with this. So then, looking at this picture, I'm like, "Dayum! Jill is a badass! I should draw a picture that emphasizes THAT!"


So, uh. I did.


And then I colored it with more prisma colors! I'm OUTTA CONTROL!



Auugh! What's this? Solid blacks in a drawing by the Joey?! Who is this? Yeah, I'm super proud of this picture. Who knows? These two are a blast to draw, it's outside my comfort zone, and maybe just maybe, they may turn into a project all their own.

Whaddya think?

How to make a Lucie






First of all if you haven't seen Wingnut's insane rendition of Jack and Jill scroll down and check that out.

Secondly, here's some art. Everyone's red heads look the same these days. I was going to put Kim Possible in it too, but got lazy (surprise surprise).

I mainly drew this as a means to mess around in flash. It didn't take too long, really.
See what happened was I saw this awesome picture drawn in flash and was like HOW'D HE DO THAT. Then I tried to fail at emulating it.

Frankie was the most fun to draw..
Also I watched about 4 hours of Ben Ten today. Not sure why.
Click for full view I guess?





Also
and the individual images, minus misty because it's ugly and done the quickest


Anyways, take it EASY guys.

We need to all get our power rings together and UNITE!

Jack And Jill

Jack and Jill wen't up a hill, to fetch a pail of water. Or so the story goes, as they say. Did this one just for fun, I'll probably upload it to my website someday, but I thought it should be shown here. Guess what Riot? I did this baby in prisma colors. Yeah, that's Joey's 3rd attempt at traditional media. Bum-bum-buuummm!!

In other news, I set up a freelance portfolio on ifreelance.com. It's pretty good, I've gotten some gigs, some reviews, and best of all, some money. Business is pretty slow right now though, so I guess that's why I'm drawing twisted things like this. Check out my profile at-

http://www.ifreelance.com/provider/detail.aspx?providerid=39958

Had a blast with this picture, and I tried to do something outside my comfort zone of muscle'y men. (snicker.) Allright, I'll post more info about the site once I get a chance!

Cheers!

Drunk Duck Adventures: The Mighty Drunk Duckers

Feel free to drool.


Yeah, I know this is two months later than I originally planned, but the first page goes live right after NYCC. The first "issue" is going to focus on the three characters on the cover, how The Rioteer winds up in modern times, and the accidental formation of the full team.

...and jokes on where Freux keeps all those scissors.

Weapon X: Welcome Back

So look what's updating again.


Maybe this will lure Ben and Pix back to the internet.

Antisocial: Speed Dating & The Path is on sale NOW

So, yeah. I haven't been posting here a whole lot. Here's a comic...that you're all missing out on. Because none of you read my blog for Old Dying Kitty.

It's a 100% authentic retelling of my brief foray into speed dating with my friend Chris.


ALSO: The Path #1 is now ON SALE!
Click here to get yourself a new and improved copy of a comic I've already given most of you for free!

Blue Squire.

EDIT: New drawings

Lots of things wrong with these drawings (blue's head too big, shoulders off, armor placement), but I was just trying to come up with an armor concept for them...

Blue's chest still seems like it's missing something. Like a breastplate or something. I dunno. We'll see what I can come up with.



Quick Character Sketch. More to come in the future.

Saturday, March 29, 2008

Yes. Yes, yes, yes!

Finished another one of these "Practice Paintings" that I've been doing.

Personally, I like this one better than the last. Any critiques would be helpful in helping me to improve! Thanks guys.

EDIT: Added a little rope-with-shrunken-heads-thing in his hand

And because I like it, here's the progression.

PS Painting

I figure the only way I'll improve is if I start doing these ridiculously-long time-consuming PS Paintings, so here's one I did today.

I might go back and tweak some details on his face... but I probably won't.

PS. Here's the progression:

I HEARD THE NEWS



Which news you might ask?

ALL OF IT. ALL THE TIME.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Blaaagggghhhh.

Yeah, like Dave, I've not posted here in a while.

Carly and I had a blast at WWLA, and even made some money, too. Carly was cranking out $1 sketches of people like a freaking machine. It was a sight to behold. The whiny Platinum people were all, "Wahh...why aren't you selling OUR book?" and carly was all, "Shut up, bitches! My shit's cooler!" and they were like, "But we want you to sell thiiiiis booook..." and Carly pimp-slapped them and said, "Is carly Mizzou gonna have to choke a bitch?". At least that's how it went in my head. I was selling color sketch cards for $5. We both did drawings for Ernie Chan and his wife (at least we THINK it was his wife...if not...PLAAAYAAAAA). And I got to hang with Angus Oblong.

I just did a big dump of sketch cards that have been ordered through my website over at Old Dying Kitty. So click that link there if you wanna see them. I'd do the same thing here, but it'd take up the whole page, and that would just be rude.

I am also super excited about Dave coloring The Rioteer. So excited that I've been working on new pages. That he will have to color. Forever. Speaking of Dave coloring...he colored the artwork I did for a big 6ft standee-thingy for New York Comic Con. Because he's awesome. And he did it last minute, too...which I really appreciate (and will pay him for on pay-day). There will be pics of said standee once I get to NYCC next month.

Also, the last boss in Conan for Xbox 360 is BULLSHIT. Seriously. I cannot beat this fucking guy for anything. I've already broken one controller out of frustration.

HAY THAR

So I haven't posted for a while. Sorry.

Figured I should send some sort of update your way. It's only fair, as I'm so interesting and important and talented and in-shape.

And tall.

Anyway, I've been working alot, despite what my complete lack of posting here may suggest. Shaun and I have been updating Applied Living closer to 'on schedule' than it's ever been! We also took a move over to our own site (graciously hosted by Rampage Network -- FO' FREE) . It's pretty sweet and Shaun and I feel productive. For once. I also switched up the style YET AGAIN (I can't seem to decide on what I want my art to actually look like). It looks good, in MY opinion. But whatever -- it'll probably change again in a few days.

I've also started workin on Zomben. It's written and drawn by this guy Ben Steeves (who, by the way, is mega-friggin-talented -- makes me jealous, sort of the way I am with Riot, but in a less gay way). I'm coloring for it. You guys should all go check it out. It's a really cool comic and I'm honored to be working on it.

ALSO, Riot finally sent me his Rioteer pages, which I've started on -- and am super excited about. Like SUPER excited about. Mega excited. Ultra.

Uber.

Looks like I've got alot of work ahead of me.

Wish me luck!

When the Rain Came Down..

Booo for more storms. They're ruining my happy sunshiney days. D:
Storms = sketching, though. Someone better start posting before I fill up the whole page with buggery drawings. :P

First we have some faces from a new project:



Then we have a Mad Hatter that is a work in progress:

Character Sketch, HO!



Some new sketches of an old character. :)
