A Simple Little Panel

Sometimes, a simple little panel jumps out at me and I really like it. Here's one that contributes nothing to the story. Just an establishing shot leading to another establishing shot. Just a place for me to put my monologue.

But for some reason, I really like this panel. It's just cool.

Atomic Robo, Myers Style

Here's my contribution to Red 5's request for Atomic Robo pin-up's. Atomic Robo is awesomesauce. That's right. He's awesomesuace.

Created by Brian Clevenger and Scott Wegener and published by Red 5, he's full of attitude and the writing and art in this series is smart and crisp and phenominal. Highly recommended to all.

Me Not Lie. Hulk Chop Cherry Tree.

Here's my attempt at muscles. Based on a challenge put forth to me by my friend and fellow artist, Anthony (ANMPH) Hary.

I actually did quite a bit of research into this. Despite my background in life drawing, The emphasis was on the human form, not the exagerated human form, as is common in most comics. So, I pulled as many body builder images I could find and went to work. I didn't want to pull from other artists because I wanted the art to be my own style.

I'm really interested in what you think of Hulk. Whether or not you think his limbs look appropriate to the muscle mass and so on. Lay it on me artists. Don't be kind. I need to improve.

Fundraising Opportunity

Hi Everyone.

I am currently working on an art porject that is going to require some funding on my part and I'm coming up short. So I'm going to sell my services to help meet that goal.

I do pencil portraits of people and animals that have been used for gifts for the holiday season or any other time of the year. I'm charging $30 for an 8 x 10 black and white pencil portrait.

Just so everything is on the up and up, I will not charge you anything until the portrait is finished. I'll send you a low resolution image of the finished art and then, if you like it, you can make the payment to my paypal account and I'll send you the completed artwork complete with frame.

Attached are some samples of previous portrait work I've done.

Ohh, you can contact me at floatingislandstudios@gmail.com if you're interested.

Iron Man

Here's my first attempt at Iron Man, as suggested by my friend and partner at ANA Comics, Anthony "ANMPH" Hary. The reason he suggested it is a lot of my art is organic and filled with curves and soft lines. We thought it might be a challenge to draw something mechanical.

I'm happy with the way it turned out. All though I think it still looks more organic than mechanical. I've managed to turn Iron Man's armor into something a little more streamlined.

Darkseid

Here is my first blog sketch request for Jamie Gambell, via Twitter.

I'm going to try to do a sketch request once a week for people. If I don't get a request, then you'll just have to settle with what I want to draw. :) And if people want them, I might just send out the original sketch to them.

I have to admit, Darkseid is a character I know almost nothing about. I know he's a Superman villian. I personally think he looks a bit like Mongul, or vice versa. So, I had to do some image searches on Google to get a good feel of the guy. I tried to capture the feel of all those pictures and of the character. Anyway, here's Darkseid.

Children of Osiris

Here's a page from a project that I'm working on with... myself.

It's a follow up to Harijan with the same central cast. It takes place a few years down the road as you can see from Virgil's new look and older appearance.
