Here we go with another mixed bag of old and new.



A sketch of Whiplash's face. I like this a lot, but I really have no idea why I drew little cherub wings on him.

Some assorted character sketches for that children's cartoon. In the back you can see Baron Apocolypto in the top hat, professor Sakimoto on the left, and his daughter Julie in rear, with Teddybom to the right. Those were afterthoughts. The primary focus was Ultra Heroman in the foreground. Ultra Heroman is on a sabattical in space when Giga Reptos attacks, forcing Professor Sakimoto to create our new pink hero. Heroman fights with a giant spear and his Rocker Watch Blade. The Rocker Watch is how he transforms, and has a pull string like a gas powered lawn mower. :-)

Tiburon. I like him. At one point I wanted to make Julio part of a superhero group called the sons of Mexico. Tiburon here has gills, claws on his fingertips and acid secreting pores on his palms. He wears a rubber suit to retain moisture. I liked the absurdity of having a skeleton in a wifebeater, a rubber suited sharkboy hiding behind cholo-wear, and a musty old oily cyborg in a torn up double breasted suit. It's ridiculous, and poking a little fun at Clark Kent and his stupid glasses...

I'm writing a fantasy story. this here is Sasha the bandit king. He has a chainsaw sword. That plastic segment on top of it is a) a seat, b) a grip, and c) a shoulder guard. I like him. I intended him to have this thick Cockney'ed accent and a really sour self righteous attitude. He has a major Napoleon Complex, and he'd be immense fun as a hero.

Some sketches for the Stelken fanatical group, The Fifth Sight. They scour the universe for races that they feel will spread out into the universe consuming natural resources and destroy them. Militant Commando Hippie-Monks, sort of. They have two opposable thumbs on each hand that can pop out of their sockets. All of their joints, for that matter, are able to be dislocated and relocated without pain. They make phenomenal assassins.

My original sketch for the Judge. Looks a lot like Jason's, no? He hit what I was going for.

A sketch of Julio. He looks sad. I loves Julio. I've since began drawing him with individual vertebrae and removed the skull icon on his boots.

Mercenary Kael hounds Warhowl throughout the galaxy in order to consume the Grav Matrix and all of his power with it. Kael is a purple scaly space dog thing. His race lives among asteroid belts, carry bio-luminescent gas propellant beneath their scales and eat through a process similar to photosynthesis. They can cocoon themselves and enter a hibernation state. He's fun.

From my Zombie story, Niko. Niko fights with a Japanese short sword. That's really it. I haven't written anything of him.

On the left we have Sarna, chief secretary to Administrator Amagon. Amagon is a deep space despot. He's very Stalinistic. He hires Kael to hunt Warhowl. To the right we have the Ko-Za, native to Renneks home planet.

Zombie hunter Kunta. He has those giant metal gauntlets to protect his hands from his razor wire whip.

THE CHUPA-FREAKIN-CABRA! My version of everybody's favorite goat-sucking demon. She is a short lived adversary to Julio. He destroys her to ease the pain of a small village that relies on their goat farming for income. El Diablo get's more than a little cheesed.


Line art of Julio. You should see the inking job that Pato did on this bad boy...

Remember the Lawman I told you about? HERE HE IS! He was designed to be a fantasy version of Clint Eastwood. The whole story has massive parallels to The Good the bad and the ugly. Almost a remake, honestly. The Lawman carries a revolver, and in this universe guns are this alien technology that can level cities. His eye is a prosthesis concealing a key to a great treasure which can restore water to the barren deserts of his Earth...

Bounty Hunter Hussla Haula. He's a FREAKIN KANGAROO SPIDER! WITH AN AUSTRALIAN GUY HAT! He has a gun that fires syringes filled with some gnarly narcotics, Overdosing his haul.

Giga Reptos as drawn by Jason. The first villain in Teddybom. I can't draw it, so I have him do it. Guga Reptos is covered in stone scales which are actually hermit crab monsters! He is actually a few of the mountains in the Yokohama Mountain Range.

Another of El Diablo's legbreakers. El Cucuy is modeled after both Aztec and Mayan warriors. he has a rad phatty oar sword.

Unfinished sketch of Johnny rage.

And an unfinished sketch of undead Jose Muerte... I love the design, but it's just so hokey I don't know if I'll ever go through with it...
