Roxy Rewind pages 1-4

 Super late on taking advantage of this when it was online, but last year I worked David Pepose and Jim Campbell on a short story for Project Big Hype,  a comic anthology on Kickstarter! The funding was successful and I hope everyone enjoyed the comic! These pages were shared on Twitter and other places, so I'm sharing the first 4 of our story here! This is a different kind of book than I usually do, but it was a fun change of pace! I've never really drawn superheroes comics before, so this was fun!

These pages were drawn on Deleter B4 manga paper, which I haven't used in years! I used mostly G-pens and the Nihonji pen and used Photoshop to create the digital halftones. I'll include some pencils down below the inks!

Portrait Commissions

Recently I was working on two watercolor portraits for a father with two graduating kids, one from college and one from high school. I received these commissions on April 13th, and I completed them April 30th, so just in time for both of their graduations! I'm happy to have heard that they liked their portraits, and that their dad was happy with them =D

So here's the finished product, which I have permission to share.

Media: Watercolors, mostly Sennelier with some Da Vinci colors and Holbein White Gouache. Caran d'Ache watercolor pencils for details
Paper: Stillman and Birn Beta Paper

Invader Zim Commissions

Here are 2 recent commissions that I finished this past weekend. They were both a lot of fun, and I got to crack open some new pens which was a nice change. I forget sometimes what it's like to draw with a fresh Zebra fine pen, cuz boy is it different from one that's pretty used. 

Tools: Zebra Fine Brush Pen, Pentel Color Brush and Copic Multiliners

Paper: Stillman and Birn beta paper

B is for Bellona - A to Z Challenge

B is for Bellona! Continuing on the A to Z thingy I started yesterday, which I hope the people who read this are enjoying it as much as I am!

Bellona is a character from my story Hybrid Ghost, an update of the old "Hibrida Prima" comic that is lost in the dusty hallways of this blog. The updated story focuses on espionage and diplomacy. After decades of long brutal fighting, a tenuous peace has been established, but like any real conflict, not everyone is done hating and fighting. Bellona's father was a soldier for the humans and he was stolen away from her when she was very young. She holds a grudge against all aliens but especially the one who is responsible for ruining her family life. Bellona is half Irish half Hispanic and is a strong boorish woman with no empathy for anyone who doesn't have roots on Earth. She is a main figure and villain in the story by the halfway point and she is one of my favorite characters to write because villains are oh so INTERESTING! I'm not giving a ton of detail here but I hope that sounded at least somewhat interesting.

Tools: Zebra brush pens, Copic multiliners, and the Pentel color brush
