Blackest Night, Bluest Drawing


Okay, so I'm back after a long hiatus. Been reading Blackest Night and it got me thinking about a character I remember from way back in the day — Driq of Criq. Driq was a Green Lantern that was killed by Sinestro, but his ring refused to let him die. He was basically a zombie who spouted various moans and groans, but could still sling a ring and survive anything Sinestro could throw at him. Kinda reminds me of the Black Lanterns of today without all the drawn out hoopla.

That said, I keep hoping (or holding out) that Driq will again reappear as the hero of Blackest Night. Nothing against Hal Jordan and the rest of the Corps, but Driq was always an oddity, who stood out in my heart as an essential part of the Green Lantern universe — always ready to play a bigger role.

Now to the blue part of the title...Lilah makes it pretty much impossible to get any drawing done anymore. She sees Daddy drawing, she's gotta be drawing, too. Usually right on the page I'm working on. With Driq here she was drawing Spider-man. After awhile you start to see ol' Spidey...

Sure, I could draw after she goes to bed, but by then I'm usually done and ready for bed. I'm working on getting up earlier to get some drawing done or just resigning myself to dealing with plenty of non-repro blue (her weapon of choice) showing up on my work. I'm guessing it'll be the latter.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Turkey Day.

Snoogans.

Since it's been awhile


Just a quick sketch since I've been working on things I can't be showing you fine folks yet.

Contest inks


Finally got off me arse and finished this piece. Doubt I'll color as my 'rents are in town and tomorrow's the last day to turn in entries. Think I'll just stick with Jesse's red eyes for a color accent.

Okay, I lied. I took a Copic marker to it and added some more depth. Unfortunately I did this at work and can't scan the piece again before I turn it in.

20 minute Ducky


Had a mad moment of inspiration yesterday after Angie said, "You need to paint something for Lilah's bathroom. How about a Rubber Ducky?" About 20 minutes later here's what happened.

Renfield


Been meaning to post something all week, but birthday celebrations, filming and just plain ol' life got in the way. Here's the painting of Renfield I did for Angie's birthday. Nothing fancy, but Angie seems to love it, so I guess everything turned out okay. Still working on a contest for Velocity and I'm hoping to finally finish pencilling it tonight and maybe inking in the next day or two. That's all I got for now. Peace!

Blue blazes!


Posted this over on the 'Haps forum in the Nova sketch jam, but figured I'd post it here as it's been quiet for a couple days. Still need to color our boy Nova in, which I hope to find time to do today or tomorrow. Also gonna try to snap a shot of the painting I did for Angie's birthday. (It's 2' x 4', so it's a bit hard to scan.) That's all I got for the moment. Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th.
