GatewayCon!

GatewayCon is back for our third year! GatewayCon is a mini-con run by myself and my students, put together primarily to showcase their art that has begun to evolve into a celebration of Anime and comic culture! We have quite a few special guests lined up for an awesome Artists's Alley and more! I'm really excited for the Cosplay Contest. Also, the Magic and Yu-gi-oh! tournaments should bring out some killers trying to win that prize money! I'll be there selling prints and taking commissions. It's on Saturday April 26th at the Nepperhan Community Center in Yonkers, N.Y. Stop by, it'll be great family friendly fun!

Buraiden Warm Up

Here are some Buraiden silhouette tests I did as a warm up exercise. I use these to make sure
I'm not repeating the same "themes" overmuch while still maintaining the integrity of the shared world the characters inhabit. These were done with a ball point pen and I intentionally spent no more than 5 or so minutes on each.You can see several of the main characters along with some new ones that I came up with on the spot. Stay tuned for more info soon. 

Spaghetti Space Western

An homage to one of my favorite movie series, using some of my favorite characters. After the starfighter pilots, I identify with the Bounty Hunters the most. I would love to do a Space Western comic about these guys trying to outmaneuver each other in search of some Space McGuffin. Lucas, hire me! (Although I'd probably have to go through Disney now.)
Here's Jango being all business.

Cad Bane being deadly serious.

And Bossk being.... umm....Bossk.

Color Theory...My Nemesis

Here's a few potential palettes for a character from Buraiden. Trying trying to work out a balance between character identity and over all color harmony. Decisions, decisions....

Back for the New Year

Welcome to 2014!  Hi guys, It's been a while. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season.
I apologize for the lack of updates. I had a big project due that ran smack into the craziness of the holiday season with it's usual drama. But now that's all sorted out and I'm back to give you some artsy-goodness.
 Over the holidays I collaborated with Derek Adnams over at Devastating Roulette Studios on "The Fuhrer's Dagger" that will be appearing in Indie Comics Magazine #8. It was a lot of fun, Derek's a hell of a writer and Brandon Bullock did a great job on the lettering.
Here's a sample:

Stars And Stripes

Hey guys, haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks, working on Buraiden and some private commissions. To make up for that, here's the completed Captain America picture I finished just before NYCC.
