Sketch-date

2011-04-21T10:14:00.005-05:00

Man it's been a month since i posted something on here already. lol i need a way to link this to my hard drive lol.

any way here's some random bits

Spidey time

2011-03-10T09:58:00.009-06:00

so a while back i did some marvel submission pages of an issue of ultimate spiderman. and these are most of the sketches i did as research, followed by the pages

A Superman Tale

2011-03-04T13:56:00.004-06:00

hey guys did this on my downtime for fun. it's chapter 1 of a longer something that i'll work on when i get the chance.

Open publication - Free publishing - More action

oh and here are the character designs I did for it.

enjoy

TMNT and D-Devil

2011-02-23T09:32:00.002-06:00

Kind of fitting that i post up daredevil and the turtles together since DD had a big part in their creation. brief history for those who don't know, the turtles were inspired by the popular comics of the time. which was daredevil who was fighting the ninja clan called the Hand (hence the turtles fighting the Foot), x-men which featured mutants, and the teen titans which were... well you get it.

Aquaman finished

2011-02-16T12:45:00.002-06:00

had fun drawing this, and i like the cover idea but i feel like i could have pushed the pose and composition more.

Aquaman

2011-02-14T20:48:00.002-06:00

working on an aquaman design for project rooftop's latest contest

Spawn having a bad day

2011-01-09T19:37:00.004-06:00

been a while lol,

but here's something i worked on recently for an art blog I'm in with some old college pals called Periodic Heroes.

did the first part in sketchbook pro. a pretty sweet program. just gotta find a way to pay for the full version :(

Kross practice

2010-11-13T09:07:00.002-06:00

lil bit a fun before storyboard time

Kross in progress

2010-10-29T15:21:00.001-05:00

been a while since i posted some pages. did these at the end of a work day for fun. give my mind a break from all the crap i put myself through when i normally draw pages. there's about 12 of these and they will definitely be apart of Super Action Tales. which if you haven't checked it out yet, u really really should. :D

this will eventually get redrawn as the new version of Kross' origin. (and i know most of you have no idea who kross is but for the 5 of you, lol).

Warm Ups!

2010-10-23T21:54:00.004-05:00

warming up. one is a drawing for monster contest. the other is Lady K a new character for a comic I'm thinking of doing.

Coming soon!

Super-Delayed Posts

2010-10-13T22:13:00.007-05:00

What's up!

It's been forever but, I literally have been pretty busy. I'm gonna dump a bunch of random things i've done since may.

in progress

2010-05-21T11:38:00.001-05:00

some pixie tryout pages and some random sketch warm ups!

Stereophonic Ninja Boy needs ur vote

2010-04-05T12:26:00.007-05:00

Hey guys, it's been a good while but part of that is because I've been working on things like the comic me and my homey Chris mullins put together called Stereophonic Ninja Boy

It definitely was a super collaborative project. chris came up with the idea, i wrote and fleshed it out some, then he pencilled it, then we kinda touched that up some with some thumbnails from me, and finally finished it up with him on inks and me on colors. I'm posting our process pages here along with the first page.

oh and here's a bit about the comic itself

Cocky, self-taught, sound-fighting master Stereophonic Ninja Boy was the most popular teen in all of Random Town, constantly defending it from the uber-conservative, liberal music hating, Over Lord Billy. That’s until he’s defeated by the enigmatic Jamz, who warns both boys of an impending invasion. Now they must travel the world learning from all the other sound-fighting masters, in order to save the city from the Sonic-Pop Army.

Now go vote lol

and thanks a trillion!!!

Whoa an update

2010-03-11T18:22:00.004-06:00

Aerial Rave

2009-12-28T19:16:00.002-06:00

THE DO GOOD GANG!

2009-06-16T18:05:00.007-05:00

Hey guys,

So last year i got to work on an awesome pitch with a couple of SCAD alumni called the DO-GOOD GANG! and now it's in Animation Magazine's Pitch Party contest

So please give it a vote when you can. The deadline is Friday.

oh lol,the shows about 3 teens, Binky, lover of all things cute, Pepper, mega-smart hottie and Cody, he happens to be a guy, lol, who defend the world from the evils of truancy, bad hygiene, unhealthy diets, and anything else non-good.

I really enjoyed working on it, so give it a shot

i'm posting alot of the art for it here. some it from back when it was called the Teen Intervention Squad

Thanks a billion

BREAK

2009-06-11T18:31:00.002-05:00

hey guys, here's the process for a postcard promo image for an anthology some friends of mine are putting together called BREAK they're looking for submissions so check it out if you can

oh and the seqa-lab image. which i did entirely on the computer, i'm kind of 'eh about it, but i need the practice at doing things completely digitally.

TNNT

2009-06-04T16:16:00.002-05:00

ok so, i did this in tribute to an old Dwayne McDuffie pitch to marvel almost 20 years ago. meant illuminate how generic alot of the black characters at the time were, which lead to a discussion on the podcast i co-host http://seqalab.com

please listen to it, cause i think it lead to an interesting conversation. similar to the journal i posted a while ago on deviantart

anyway the line-up consists of night thrasher, rocket racer, dark wheely and the mysterious black guy on a skateboard.

characters totally owned by Marvel Comics

grad-post

2009-06-01T10:08:00.006-05:00

sorry it's been so long, just got my Masters from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Now it's time to get some work done, here are some of the character designs for the updated Rahma Pax story

Draw Binge

2009-05-26T01:00:00.003-05:00

So last night i sketched a ton of things, worked on 3 stories, the most prominent being Henna Hanson Saves Prom! which seems to have a tiny following already, so more is on the way. i scanned in some of the stuff i came up with.

enjoy

Seqa Lab

2009-05-24T18:22:00.004-05:00

another Seqa-Lab image http://seqalab.com, the finished Kelsey and the Cat pic, and a touched up My Dog is a Superhero pin-up

all done totally digitally. i want to get better at completely doing things on the computer. saves paper and is faster, due to cutting out printing and scanning stuff.

JUSTICE STRIKERS!!!

2009-05-21T22:11:00.002-05:00

a break down of how i came about creating this cover for my comic Justice Strikers. there's actually a ton of sketches i did playing around with the poses and such, but i haven't scanned them yet.

lol i need a scan-monkey or bot to do these kinds of things.

a lil bit from my punchboys groundwork book

2009-05-20T23:53:00.001-05:00

which at some point i plan to publish maybe by comicon time. hopefully by comicon time

Junk part 2

2009-05-17T17:01:00.002-05:00

i think junk is a cool word. like combined with something else it could make a solid name for a character or comic.

some junk!

2009-05-17T16:52:00.002-05:00

a little logan goes.....

2009-05-13T20:28:00.002-05:00

More Stuff

2009-04-26T15:07:00.003-05:00

So here's another update. and it's only been a couple of days. so i'm thinking of creating a webcomic series where i post short stories that i've done. pretty much every week you'll get an updated comic that i've done. it may be 2 pages or 20 depending on my mood or the idea. i know it's a little different but allows my mind to float around from idea to idea. of course alot of the stories will be revisited when i get a new idea for them. but for the most part you'll be getting comic-y good ness once a week.

so here's some images i've done. some are for SeqaLab http://www.seqalab.com the podcast i cohost for the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Some stuff i've been working on

2009-04-23T21:48:00.003-05:00

ok so i hear, using devArt to show off your work to editors and art directors is a bad idea, but blogs aren't.......

so lol i'll post here more often.

lol i feel like i'm talking in an empty room.

Mega Dump

2009-03-14T23:57:00.005-05:00

Man it's been a while, but heres some stuff i've been working on.

Buy My Dog is a Superhero! Vol 1 Today

2008-11-25T12:06:00.004-06:00

Hey it's been a while but had to announce the arrival of My Dog is a Superhero! Vol 1, available for purchase at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/My-Dog-Superhero-Rashad-Doucet/dp/0981747264/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227330439&sr=8-1 and Barnes and Noble http://books.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?WRD=My+Dog+is+a+Superhero

for those not familiar with the story, Ashleigh Bryce was just average little diva wannabe until she discovered a cute blue dog who turned out to be the kid hero Wolfboy in disguise. Now they must learn to work together to catch other evil aliens disguised as pets.

The next few pages is a preview of the PURE AWESOMENESS you can get in the comic as well some sketches showing how they were done

It's been a while

2008-11-02T10:39:00.008-06:00

man i need to get better at updating this place. but here's some random tidbits. i just need a scanning assistant cause i have tons and tons of sketches sitting around. lol well covering most of the floor of my room.

Ultra roughs

2008-09-23T23:44:00.004-05:00

man, i'm hard of work on a bunch of stuff, so i had no time to scan, and update this poor neglected place.

sorry blog, i really do love you though. (these are the kinds of things that happen when u don't get enough sleep, lol)

but anyway here's some in progress ultra rough stuff. these have a few more steps before being done. well except for the first one. her name's kelly quantum and she rides a hyper intelligent scooter, named.......... scooter (he hates it) that she built. more of her coming real soon

Don't Let Me Down

2008-08-11T17:09:00.004-05:00

A story inspired by a Stereophonics cover of a Beetles song and Peter Pan. I figured what if Pan got bored with being a kid and age to a teen, now him and Tink have a very dysfunctional relationship, due to his laid back slacker, playboy antics. The clock-o-soaurs are the offspring of the crocodile that swallowed the clock and a T-Rex. the menacing threat would be Mr Smee, i think that;s his name, rebuilding Hook to take down Peter.

Justice Strikers

2008-08-11T16:57:00.003-05:00

One thinks she's a super-hero, the other just wants revenge, together Asuka Verde and Rohah must stop one bitter teens quest to see his mom again by opening the gates to the Afterlife.

Kross is Coming

2008-07-21T18:10:00.004-05:00

All of Punchboys

2008-07-10T18:35:00.024-05:00

machine gun goku

2008-06-12T11:35:00.008-05:00

so the other day i watched an extremely awesome asian film called The Machine Girl. completely, over the top action, zaniness. so i did quick sketch of the main character ami, who's armed was chopped off and replaced with a gatling gun in her quest for revenge against her brother's killers. then i did a ball-point version, but i don't like it so, i'm working on another one. and here's the 4 pages of my dragonball doujin.

hulk run!

2008-06-06T12:16:00.005-05:00

so i realize this post has little to do with the hulk running other than a very loose, barely visible sketch. think of it as a game, XD

Feet time and other random stuff

2008-05-26T23:59:00.003-05:00

so here's some sketches i did while TA'ing for a speed sketching class. i have more but i'll have to scan it. i'm starting to love figure drawing. oh and a couple of random things

I choose you

2008-05-26T02:45:00.006-05:00

Man it's been too long since I posted here. I need to scan more of my sketches in over the summer, but anyway here's me as a pokemon trainer with my favorite pocket monster, Azumaril. Well it's actually Luxray but i was too lazy to draw him. Azumaril's just an oval. lol

some more stuff

2008-04-16T00:01:00.004-05:00

sketches and thumbnails

2008-04-14T23:58:00.008-05:00

here's some works in progess.

process stuff

2008-03-05T18:19:00.004-06:00

works in progress

2008-02-07T03:41:00.000-06:00

here's some my dog is a superhero, replacement panels. they're kind of like deleted scenes but instead of being trashed, they're added.

and some stuff from a character design workshop that i had to give as part of one of my classes

shoe girl inks

2008-02-06T00:54:00.000-06:00

here's the inked version of the shoe girl pic. i kinda want to color this.

shoe girl w.i.p.

2008-01-20T12:32:00.000-06:00

so my good friend, rocketshoes. asked me to do a pin-up for an illustration/comic book she's doing. the image had to involve panties or something else, but my brain shut off on panties. so here's the first uber-rough sketch

then i decided to have her hold a giant hammer and have a massive afro, kinda like an older version of ashleigh from my My Dog is a Superhero comic. and i was thinking of those old WW2 propaganda posters that had those buff, but sexy chicks selling war bonds and holding giant wrenches.

i finally settled on making her my shoe girl character (yet another idea floating in my head) and had her facing a giant monster, cause i saw cloverfield the other day.

a whole bunch of stuff

2008-01-16T18:59:00.000-06:00

here's some random sketches. most of which were done in japan. the top one was inked by my good friend del.

color sketching

2007-12-10T04:58:00.000-06:00

yay! i'm currently in japan, inspired by all the awesome i see. so i did a few color sketches after hearing one of kazu kibuishi's tutorials.

lol i have a long way to go.

messing around

2007-10-30T21:40:00.000-05:00

here's a few random things.

sketching

2007-10-22T20:17:00.000-05:00

here's a few sketches that i did in class

Rock Bot or Bots

2007-09-29T16:38:00.001-05:00

i'm currently working on a new idea called rock bot at first he started off kinda tall and skinny, but then i started drawing him with one of those FLCL tv heads which was even more fun, cause i figure his face-screen could be used for various purposes, like varied expressions, pc screen,......television, u get the idea. but now i'm thinking that it'd be cool if it was a band of rocking robots. which would be cool, because now the little one could be the michael jackson/ justin timberlake of the group.

Workshop

2007-09-29T16:31:00.001-05:00

so i have to do a fight scene workshop for school. and i'm trying to come up with add for it. here's a couple of designs and the finished one.

Unused stuff

2007-09-29T16:25:00.000-05:00

this is an example of my rough thumbnails. most of which don't get used but it helps me figure out what i'm going to do with the story.in this case i was trying to figure out a couple of panels. i ended up using one of these

Rock Lee turnaround

2007-09-29T16:23:00.000-05:00

oh forgot to put up the turnaround for rock

Rock Lee final

2007-09-24T19:18:00.000-05:00

and here's the full color version

Rock Lee in progress 2

2007-09-24T19:13:00.000-05:00

the next step is the beginning of the final image, first the sketch, then inks and value color.

Rock Lee in progress

2007-09-24T19:08:00.000-05:00

ok so here's a look at how my process works i.e. how my art loses energy with every step
first development sketches. i made him a little more buff as the process progressed, because i figure since all of his skills are physically based he'd be a pretty muscular guy

Agent 29

2007-09-01T23:30:00.000-05:00

here's an image done for SelfCentral http://selfcentral.blogspot.com
