Afrodisiac's hammer
It’s Afrodisiac, ya dig? He is one of the baddest Mothas on the streets! This was a book that came out in recent months that is one of those once in a lifetime books. Long story short, it got my attention, it is a tongue in cheek set of story set like a 70 blacksplotation film, and it rocks.
This is actually an entry for a contest for some free swag from the creators of the book. I figured after reading it, Afrodisiac would be the only other one to be able to pick up thors hammer. now show some love

Flaming...
Not sure why, but i got it in my head to draw Ghost Rider. I love the way parts of this turned out, and on the other hand i hate the way other parts turned out.
Let me explain. i love the line work of the top, i hate the ink work of the bottom. it is one of the those problems that did not present itself until every thing was said and done. I tried to clean up the blacks in post, but i came to the conclusion that the wash like nature of the blacks added something. I think i need to work on my strokes a bit more(ha).
Well, for your enjoyment. here it is. Comments welcome

World Devourer, word.
I am Devourer of worlds, unstoppable and inevitable. I am nether good nor evil, i just am. my herald speaks for me, so hear him. i am Galactus.
He is one of the most odd charaters i know of, and his original incarnation is the only one i can thing of as true. They have tried to update, and make the concept a bit more… Real? but it never works. Galactus to me is a giant purple mofo, who eats worlds. he just is. and here is just me sketch of him. not sure if i will take it further, but i might. you think so? let me know.

Turian, studyed.
As you may be able to tell, i might have come across a copy of Mass Effect 2. I also might have been playing it for large streches of each day. I am really digging the game play and storyline. What i didnt care for about the first game, they fixed, while at the same time, keeping what i liked about the old game. If you have a chunk of your life free, i suggest you play it.
This was just to play around, to break from some work i was doing. i got some brushes and ink and had some fun. I am getting the feel of using a brush to draw with instead of a pen. I still love pens, but i can see the appeal of this process. for those of you that have played the game, this is not any character specifically, just me playing with the race of beings. I might concept some different styles and looks. Let me know what you think.

The Last Air Bender
This is a small Work in progress of Ang. I am not sure weather to color it, or let it be. It is a show made for children, but it does involve a bit of violence. I always like to show that if kicked or punched in the face, that these charaters, tho young would be ready for the pain.
Plus it pushes a small limit.
colors soon to follow.

The Doctor Sketch
Its the Doctor! i have been watching a lot of the recent series, and even tho i don’t care for some of the British style of dramatic scenes, the writing for a lot of it is off the scale. Getting caught up on Torchwood, a Doctor Who spin off right now. its like The regular doctor, but with sex. Its a bit odd, but the Easter eggs and guest stars are great.
And Capt. Jack is a fairly interesting character. it is also funny how they try and write Americans… you just have to see it for your self.
But about the sketch. nothing is final, but i do quite like the goofy nature of what i have so far. i may try for a more dramatic approach, or i may just keep it light. With the Doctor, you never know. Let me know what you think!

Thor and his hammer.
This is a Thor Sketch i cranked out at lunch. I am think about taking it further, but right now i am content with it being what it is. I want to do many more quick sketches so that get in the habit of working on this stuff.
I am not going to be so cocky saying that i will a sketch a day, or a week for that matter. Truly i will make a concerted effort to do work on a consistent basis. also i will try and use the hell out of those 5dollar words. Since Hero’s Con in Charlotte, i have decided to really push illustration and art to that next level. That next level is not necessarily a professional level, but just one more step above where i am at. Right now i think that all i lack is the grind of practice. the doing it until its second nature, like adding a drop shadow in that right place to make a Design client freak out.
To that end, to any who may actually read this blog that’s not my mom, suggest a character, i will do quick sketch lunch time stuff for free! you don’t get a big copy and it will be a small file, but hey, Inspiration is payment enough Right?

Yes, yes. I know I am among the millions of people who managed to play this little known game called World of freaking Warcraft. Been a fan of the franchise for waaaay to long. Decided to try my hand at doing some images I found pleasing from the game. I know, its lame but at this time, really I was going to Animazement in Duraham and had not seen any recent anime.
Figured there would be some crossover in fans. I was right but you know thats how things go.
