Sketchbook : Character Design : Hell To Pay

There are a few things I think about constantly.  Star Wars, Wolverine and usually some roguish story clip like (in this instance) Snake Pliskin's "damn all to hell" attitude.  Whether it is the aspects that I would desire to change or those things that make them up that I really like, these type of things are churning in my brain.

So what would you get if you mashed up a mercenary Jedi warrior forced into a timed death event with an exposed cybernetic hand that had 3 short lightsabers installed in the knuckles?

I don't know, but it sounds awesome!

Digital Sketchbook Dump

Man alive! I have not been posting very frequently have I?  I kinda hate these type of posts. Admitting my lack in posting. 'Cause I'll look back at it in a year and say "what? who gives a damn."  So I've been traveling a bit this month. A trip to Hawaii for a weekend getaway with coworkers. Florida to visit the folks. And then next week, I'm off to Wisconsin for a buddy's wedding.  

Needless to stay, it has stalled Drawing Lance, but I am working through some new character designs and strips as much as I can right now.  Need to catch up? Check it out at:

DRAWING LANCE.

In the meantime, here are a few digital sketches. 

Three of the best from the Brotherhood without Banners.  These thugs are real D&D inspired type characters!

Self Portrait. Artist's block.

Another self portrait. Inked the sketch I posted in the past.  My hair was longer and beard thicker then.

Star Wars Rebels! Inspired by the announcement of the new show of the same name.

Sketchbook: Obi Wan Kenobi by way of Moebius

Updated with an inked version.  This was an interesting drawing to do. I'd never really tried to emulate Moebius' style and doing so I learned a lot about his methods.  Or, at least, what I think I learned.  Where as the pencil sketch is successful, the ink is not.  It's more of a copy of lines Moebius uses.  We all can see that his work is complex and simple at the same time. Each line is very passionate to him and becomes the most important line of the piece.  There doesn't appear to be any hacking at the board, just complete control and breathing.

Commissions: Star Wars/ Venture Bros

...not combined. I know. I know. Les sad. Les poo.

But here are two separate commission. One of the dangerously seductive Dr Girlfriend from The Venture Bros. And another of the infamous Star Wars bounty hunters in a Sabacc game gone sour.
