and a little "making of" HERO

I have wanted to post this for a looong time...

This is an image I had when I was sleeping... I could not get the image out of my head so I woke up and scribbled down the idea and just today I (almost) finished it.

This is the title character of a story I am working on with my children called HERO. More coming soon about all that...

This is NOT finished but I just had to share. I still have to crop the image to the right size, add some effects and clean up a lot of it but this is it...

a little "making of" Yellow Lantern Batman

YELLOW LANTERN BATMAN

OK, this is one of my commissions for the CGS Super Show that I took a few liberties with... OK, a LOT of liberties.

When I first got the request, i did not want to simply draw Batman in a Yellow Lantern Costume... what is the fun in that? So I decided, the Yellow Lanterns represent FEAR. What is the scariest interpretation of the Batman... simple... Kelly Jones's Batman (See Red Rain, etc). So I used that as my starting point, most specifically the looooong pointy ears.

Then I added the yellow bat symbol (which you got to have) and then made the rest of the costume black.

Then I did the teeth... to make it even scarier.

Then I F-ed up the eyes. I accidentally colored them in and whatever i did, either white out, acrylic paint or prisma color pencils, nothing worked... so I blacked them out entirely and it made it even scarier.

So there you go... Yellow Lantern Batman... ala, ME.

Family Guy Lanterns... part two

The second step includes the character outlines (separate colors for each character) and filling in the blacks.

more coming soon...

Family Guy Lanterns... part one

This is actually one of two Family Guy Lantern Splash pages I am working on. This layout is different from the second one I am doing because it only includes 7 Lanterns (and Chris's Monkey) and the other will include all 9.

I had to switch around the colors for the characters since this commission specifically asked for Brian to be the Red Lantern.

So Peter went Green, Meg went Blue, Brian went Red and Lois went Indigo (and she still looks hot).

Packers Win... guess that means another Poison Ivy pic coming soon...

I had a bet with a co-worker, if the packers win the Super Bowl, I would do her a sketch of Poison Ivy but if the Steeler's won, I would receive a package of home made fudge...

Guess I need to start the sketch now... he he.

This is not the first time I have had two commission requests for the same character but it is the first time I have had two requests for two different characters... Poison Ivy being the first and Zatanna being the second.

Guess this truly shoots the "one original character each day of the year"... he he he

Pre-Order sketches for the Comic Geek Speak Super Show 2011

I mention this in the previous post and forgot to link to it here...

I am taking requests for the CGS 2011 Super Show on their forum here.

Check it out. If you are going or will be in the Reading, PA area around April 30th and May 1st... come by and check it out. It's a small show that focuses on Artists... It's great.

and a little "Making of" for Red Lantern Venom

RED LANTERN VENOM...

Last year, at the Comic Geek Speak Super Show, I did a sketch for someone of Venom as a Red lantern. yesterday, I opened up a commission list on the CGS forums for the 2011 Super Show and the first person to post was the guy who got the venom... and he included a pic of the drawing...

Uggghhh. I did it really quick and it came out "OK" but the guy liked it and it inspired me to take another shot at it.

not too bad?
-Drew

Greedo

Also did a sketch for today but I hated it and trashed it... tomorrow I will catch up... promise.

-Drew

February 1st... Greedo (yeah, yeah, yeah)

This is the first sketch of February and it's not finished. The final will be in color, I just ran out of time but I still wanted to post the process.

and a little "Making of" for Red Lantern Lois part 2

a chance to do it again...

So, for some reason, my rendition of Lois Griffin as a Red Lantern was pretty popular and I recieved 2 additional request for a sketch of her (so far).

This was a chance to re-do her costume that, when I finished the first one, i realized that there was barely any RED in her costume. Love second chances to make things right.

Next one might be a little different too,
thanks
