Today I have uploaded the first couple of pages of my first webcomic series, Miss West.  The comic is apart of a new comic collective called Cup of Comics, which you can now visit here:

www.cupofcomics.com

The site is still in beta, but you can read the first two comics today (the rest will be updated as the week goes on).  You can start reading Miss West here:

Visiting the site will be most appreciated.
I hope this goes well, and I'll continue to do my best! :)

As an extra belated Christmas treat, I have some sketches from my Christmas adventure day yesterday.  I don't have any stories like I did last year, but I did see Sherlock Holmes and Tintin back to back.  Sherlock Holmes was pretty enjoyable, but like the first one, I wouldn't really get excited to ever watch it again.  Tintin was amazing, as expected.

So, I hope you guys have happy holidays and a great new year.  I'll continue to keep working...

Ink Failing a Day: Day 14 (Read: 4)

Um... this certainly isn't going well, is it?  Well, I'll still do 30 days, cause it's great practice.
Today's ink drawing was done as part of a promotional piece for a project that some friends and I are working on at the moment.  Hope you enjoy!

Ink Drawing a Day: Days 1 and 2

So, I found this artist (Jake Parker http://agent44.com/blog2/ ) the other day who has been doing this "Inktober" every year, where he does an ink drawing a day for the month of October.  I wanted to try my hand at this, so I have accepted the challenge.

I'm a couple days behind, so I gotta catch up.  Here's the first two I've done:

Room of a Tomboy

A small concept illustration I did for the project I'm working on.  I hope you enjoy!

NORTHWEST: Many Different Versions of the Exact Same Thing

Hey everybody!  And by everybody, I mean probably nobody, 'cause I'm no longer sure of who actually looks at my blog nowadays.

Anyways,  I have a finished piece that's... well, finished.  However, I have many a couple different versions (with little variation), and I thought I should post them up here.

This is my top pick out of the ones that I have done.  Just a fun image of my characters, Miss West (right) and Miss North (left).  Not only did I want to create a fun image, but this serves as a test of what style of ink line art and coloring I should do for an upcoming comic I'm working on.

Here, I have my usual style of inking and character design, with a small half-tone coloring using mostly subdued and minimal amount of colors.  Black, White, Red (for West's hair), and a tone that would change depending on the mood of the image(in this case blue).

Here are the other variations I have come up with:

This one has a larger dot half-tone pattern with a black/white/red/gray.  I like how the half-tone dots create more of a design element, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

This one is similar to the first one, but has a black/white/red/gray/skin tone color scheme.  Not sure about the added brown skin tone.

This one uses a flat coloring style, instead of using half-tone.  Using black/white/gray as well as a more vibrant red for the hair, which pops out a bit more here.

Finally, this one also has flat coloring, but a color scheme similar to the very first one.

Recycled Book Sketchdump

I just finished another sketchbook yesterday, so it's time for a big sketch dump!
Here is a sampling of what's inside for the past couple of months.  I hope you guys enjoy!
