Wormhole Sketch and RELEASE DATE!

Today's a big day for people who don't know anything about this comic I keep talking about. Today I'm announcing the release date of Wormhole: It's May 18th, the date of the Maine Comics Arts Festival! There, I'll be selling signed copies at my table (alongside Joey Han, who will be promoting his own work.) So come on down and see this book that has driven me insane in the last year!

Oh, yeah, and if you can interpret the scribbles of writing on that check, you'll find out more about the comic than I've ever told you.

An Airship Thing

Here's the latest in the ol' Doodle Book. I messed up on that kid's hair, and it took a strange turn. Oh, well. To see all the other Doodle Book sketches, click here.

Two Wormhole Characters and Some Clouds.

Here's another Wormhole sketch with two of the main characters.

And now for the News:

I recently learned that I could directly edit the code of my blog, rather than being limited to the Blogger template. Now I can use the power of CSS to edit the look and feel of the website even further. As you might have noticed, I made the border of the blog more sharp, and added shadows.

This probably doesn't interest you the slightest, but as a designer, I find it pretty exciting.

Now, I originally wanted to change the background to a sketch of some clouds, but it didn't look as good as I planned. Here they are anyway, in all their cloudy glory:

The Hulk. Punching Mimes.

Okay, today's Doodle Book page was pretty vague. it was just a "Danger" sign with the caption: "Whoops!"

My mind immediately went to a quicksand pit, but there was no inspiration there. In the end, I couldn't think of anything that would utilize the "Danger" sign, so I just threw Hulk into a circus and had him punch a mime.

Happy Halloween!

Here's a little vampire guy.
UPDATE: I added a splash of color.

Now, I originally had a plan for a much bigger, full color sketch involving a crew of LARPers and some terrified children, but I was pressed for time. Maybe some other day...

Wormhole Promotional Image

This is an advertisement for Wormhole that I'll be using across the internet, showing the main characters of the series. (As you can see, it greatly differs from my last Wormhole sketch from February.) ENJOY!

Horse Sketch

Well. These are just getting weirder and weirder, aren't they?

This is another color technique I've been messing with. A more hand-drawn look, with a halftone (tiny dot) effect for the shading. (It turns out you can't see the dots unless you zoom in 100%, but this is experimentation, folks.)

Oh, and this is my 100th post! Holy mother of moley! And how to I celebrate? With a freaky horse, that's how. Cheers, mate.

Scary Shields Sketch

Look. It told me to "Make their shields scary." And scary I made them. So, cover your eyes, if you must.

Alien Invasion Sketch

This is the second sketch in my "Doodle Book." It's an alien invasion.

Today I decided to color the sketch. I've experimenting with a lot of different coloring techniques, and I'm trying to find the coloring style that I'm using for Wormhole. I like how this one turned out.

There were actually two pages for this entry in the book. This is what the first page looked like.

Robot Sketch

Here is the first page in my sketchbook-thingy. It's a robot.

Iron Man Sketch

It's Iron Man. Have I much else to say?

Doctor Genius Sketch

All the way from the far reaches of time, it's Doctor Genius!

What? You've never heard of Doctor Genius? Google him.

Nothing? Man, he must not be too notorious in 2013. Just you wait.



UPDATE: This is a character from my upcoming comic, Wormhole. Who could he be? You'll just have to wait and see. Bwahaha. Ha. Ahem.

Tabletop Day!

Hey, fellow geeks! Today was International TableTop Day! A day for all to gather and play their favorite board games, card games, and RPGs! My friend and I held an event at our local library, and this is the art I did for the poster:

Oh, yeah, and Doctor Who premiered today. It was amazing. Just sayin'.

The Republic of Texas Sketch

As you know, I've missed the past few weeks in terms of "Weekly Sketches," but now I return! Well, actually, this is a drawing I did for my Social Studies class, depicting the Battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto. But to heck with the educational part – there's COWBOYS! WOO-HOO!

Wormhole Sketch

This week's sketch is a preview of my upcoming Science-Fiction webcomic, Wormhole!

X-Men Sketch

This week's (well, last week's) Weekly Sketch is the X-Men! We've got Professor Charles Xavier, Cyclops, Beast, Wolverine, and Storm! This sketch was recommended by Joey Han.

Got a Weekly Sketch idea? You can recommend it in the comments or via one of my social networking accounts (see my About page.)

The Avengers Sketch

Introducing the Weekly Sketch! It's a thing where I do a sketch. Every week. The first of these Weekly Sketches is The Avengers!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

To celebrate, why don't we all read that "classic" Super Rooster Christmas special? (Actually, it was almost as bad as the Star Wars Christmas special, but you can still read it here!)

Enjoy the holidays!

Winter Sketchin'

A snowman, a Santa, and other Wintery things.

Swedish Chef Sketch

To test out some new pens, I drew the Swedish Chef. Børk Børk.
