Another commission I did recently.  Karate Kid vs Judo Master!  As fun as it is to draw the Spider-Mans and Batmans of comics, sometimes drawing the goofballs is far more fun.  This was definitely the case with this piece.  Being able to escape my digital bonds and getting to do more traditional work is always wonderful.

I honestly just have no clue.

Shit just got real.  

The last panel from a comic page I did for the Darkness II video game contest.  Had a lot of fun doing this, regardless of the fact that I had to do it twice since my computer murdered the original.

This is actually a lot less sexual than the title would lead you to believe.  A lot. 

This is a commission I just got finished with, for the terrific Mr. Andrew Allen.  The commission is a cover recreation, based on the art of the legendary Gil Kane, of Black Panther #25.  Mr. Allen has several more such recreations on his page Andrew Allen @ Comic Art Fans.  He was kind enough to provide a little collection of work through shots, starting with how he laid out the titles, to my initial layout.  And then from Pencils to inks and inks to added titles for a preview of the finished work. 

I had ton of fun doing this and it was a welcome break from all the animating and digital artwork.  Putting pen to paper is very challenging but far more rewarding when it comes out well.  When it doesn’t, I am often left wishing I had command-z on my paper. Thankfully, this was smooth sailing. 

I hope you enjoy taking a peak as much as I did doing the piece.
