So I finally get around to it...

I haven't updated this thing in forever. Truthfully, I haven't been drawing as much as I know I should... But here's a few doodles!

The crew of the boundless destiny. I wanted one of them on one sheet. This is the first time I've posted an image of Warhowl's dust blade. I was planning on doing the hand guard segment of it later, but I think the crew look good.

A new image of the Cheetah. I did a LOT more work on his legs. They look more industrial now, which I suppose I like better. He doesn't look quite as fast, but I want his speed to seem more about power than grace, which will compliment Whiplash well.
A giant werewolfish Quetza pouncing Warhowl. I thought about having Tak Tak hiding this dark secret, where he was once a genetecist working to improve his race... The result was a bloodthirsty giant with sort of a hard on for murdering Tak Tak.
A race of traders. Their affections are easily bought with shiny baubles. I wanted to give myself an idea for what they would look like. I like the body, but the face blows. More work will follow.

A quick pen sketch for a fighting pose for Bill Wade. Nothing special.

Same idea here. I do little basic sketches of characters to make sure I like the shape and costume before I waste time on something bigger...
So the previous two are of Osmond. He is a polar bear wandering the desert looking for a serial killer. He has canteens and gourds everywhere. I figure, he's a polar bear and deserts are hot. So he is constantly drinking and sweating. I need to make him feel more western, but I like his design a lot. Don't expect big changes. He carries a chainsaw sword.
And we end with the killer. This is Dio, a Sun Bear. He is maybe taller than he should be, but I think I'm going to go for an Akuma vibe with him, so I may leave his height as is. This is my first crack at him, no sketches before hand. All said and done, I think his tats are cool and the Shredder glove is cool.

As always, feedback is appreciated.

A few sketches before I leave town.

A butler... With a script... On a pillow... Very hush hush...
A principal scolding a kid... Very hush hush as well... And heinously tall... Will have to fix
A while back I posted a drawing of a character named Rath... It was pretty pathetic, but I really had no idea what I really wanted to do with his physiology or costuming. This is much more what I'm leaning towards for the final. I freakin LOVE his shoulder pad. Not yet entirely sure what I will do with the belt, but I think this is a great starting point. Comments?
The original idea behind Warhowl was that he was going to be a cadet in the Black Hole Batallion, which was to be my idea of the Green Lantern Corps or the Nova Corps (Two of my favorite comics). I still wanted to keep the idea, but let's face it... That shit was half baked.

This guy up here is called Sunshot, and he will be a character I am going to look to develop as a cadet in whatever replaces my old half baked idea. He has discs on his gloves that absorb solar energy and shoot it through his palm. As a contingency, he will carry a laser pistol as well.
A villain for the space corps guys things... This is Despair. I have no idea what he can do, or why he is evil. I was having this killer "I think I'm gonna die" migraine, which caused me to lay down and I saw this guy in a nightmare... So I drew him. I plan to develop him further in the future, but I like the costume and he also wears this giant cloak with a huge fuzzy collar... He's like a metro-egyptian alien despot. Rad.
Boring character. Won't use. Lame. Waste of time, but it's here for the sake of blog completion.
A revamped design for my boy Hussla Haula. His gun is down there on the bottom. one end is a shotgun, and the grip in the middle rotates on bearings. When it rotates, the other end has a rifle barrel that stretches out, and a scope pops out of the top, with the shotgun still sticking behind to protect against sneak attackers. Hussla be tricky.
The brother of Tak Tak Meju, Nyet Meju. He is a space pirate. I will be modifying the costume a little bit to be more Jack Kirby, but this is my starting point. I dig it.
Another shot at Mercenary Kael. I decided to make him a little more stocky, and I'm adding a keen little Jack Kirby "Circle and line" motif. If you read old school space comics (New gods, silver surfer, eternals, etc.) you know Kirby's fixation on circles and lines. I adore it.
Don't you know who I am?


I'm the Jugganaut!...



Bitch.

The final Devil Fingers

My first Pass at Lorenzo. He is a bandit that works for Devil Fingers. I am going to redesign his sandals and pants, this was mostly for the design of his coat and (as of yet unfinished) sword.
The final design for Devil Fingers. The design ethos with his is long/short. The side with his demon arm has everything long (the sleeve typically obscuring the arm) and the tasset on his side has pouches that house Derringer pistols.

A Beluga whale.
An Adelie penguin.

One Eyed Jack


I traced over Grizzly Joe so that I can try and make his partner Devil Fingers look good next to him. First sketch of Fingers... I'm MOSTLY satisfied with it. He needs more... I am going to add a few things and do a final. It will look great when it's done.

Jakishimaru, Joe's sensei. I like this one a lot, and I'm painting it as I type this. Lower Right: Detail of Devil Fingers' demon hand.
