Several weeks ago I had taken a challenge upon myself to draw popular characters i had never drawn before in my life. I usually get annoyed when I see people that never draw original characters and only do fan art so for several years I had drawn nothing but my own original characters. But since people kept asking me to draw certain figures I decided for a whole month every day I'd draw a new famous character I had never drawn before in my life(dont like to call it "fan art" because that makes me sound like a fan boy and that I am NOT). You'd be surprised at some of the things I've never drawn...

Halloween Fun

Decided to make a fun picin between doin homework, and now all my free time is gone. its me, andrew m, amanda j, michael w, and solomon slaying badly drawn mutant zombies. this was super fast and sketchy. unfortunately i didnt get to put in all the weapons that were mentioned/requested : bayonet, a mace, flame thrower, rocket launcher, stinger missile, swords, or tazers; but hopefully this will suffice. Happy Halloween Everybody.
fun fact: the expressions on Michael and Solomon's faces i drew from actual photos they took on facebook. thanks for the reference guys!

BOLT VS WONDERBOY
Project for my Materials and Techniques for Sequential Arts Class, I got to sneak in some familiar characters. The one spouting lightning is my character Bolt, and the dude with the W is my friend Dave Wheeler's original character Wonderboy who we are in the process of making a book for: http://themisadventuresofwonderboy.blogspot.com/. does this mean crossover???? Who knows!?! you'll have to find out. I always forget to take pictures of all the steps I take when i draw, but this time I at least took two;this was after a day I believe, even tho I started with pencils I was still doing a lot in blue pencil.
second day I devoted the entire day to this because it was due the next morning, I got a lot more black pencils in there but there was still much more to be done. this might've been around 10 or 11pm.
Finished at 4:30 am, went to bed for 4 hours got back up, scanned this then went to class. Next time I do a big project I'll try to remember to take more photos.

9!
Yo, I just saw 9 and let me tell you it was DOPE!!! It was dark, suspenseful, and mysterious. The animation was on point and I was into the story. This movie had me on edge, I was anxious, scared, it was action packed, and I got emotionally attached to some of the characters. Over all this movie was really cool and like they say, it's not your little brother's animated movie. Glad i went to see it, you should go see it too.

Ante-Up: Prelude to Madness ON SALE TODAY!!

Yo everybody! Its done, finally, my premiere preview art book; Ante-Up: Prelude to Madness. 20 pages of Sketch Master Skillz goodness right here: http://stores.lulu.com/netwavecomics. I just got it finished and ready to go on sale, unfortunately it's a little pricier than i was going for, its 15 bucks. Initially I was gonna sell it on IndyPlanet through Ka-Blam for cheaper but they never replied to me so I switched to Lulu. However, there is a download version for half the price, 7.50, I suggest buying that one for your computer and save some dough for when the bigger, better, badder version comes out hopefully buy this December. If you like my stuff here, please head on over to the site and support the book, this will further help me to put out more and better artwork and get the big book done faster. Thanks again to ya'll, peace.
