and two more...

and I just did these two this morning...

Zatanna
The Thing

And a few more Star Wars sketch cards...

I went through my favorite sketches of late and choose these 3 (Bobba Fett, Aayla Secura and Ahsoka Tano), shrunk them down and used them for these sketch cards... came out pretty cool.

Kit Fisto Sketch Card

When I got back from the con on Monday, I drew up this Kit Fisto sketch card. My daughter saw the black and white card and wanted to color it... so I made her a separate card. Then my wife saw it and wanted one too...

So here are all three cards, the first, colored by me using markers, the second by my daughter colored with color pencils and the third colored by my wife with crayons.

and a few more...

Batgirl
Harley Quinn
Spider Jerusalem
Thor

something new... Sketch Cards

While in Charlotte last weekend, Chad introduced me to the world of Sketch Cards... and I went a little crazy. I ended up doing 9 full color sketch cards at the show on Sunday (it was a reallly slow day) and I actually sold one of them. These are scans of the others I did...

Hellboy and Abe
Black Lantern and Green Lantern

Jamie Fay - One of the Top 50 Inspiring Artist on Deviant Art

This is from my friend Rich's Blog at Drumfish Productions.

"Congratulations to Jamie Fay for being picked as one of the top 50 inspiring artists on Deviant Art by the Guide To Art Schools. The Guide To Art Schools is a great resources for artists to look into what art school might be right for them. They have all kinds of information on there about degrees and programs, as well as tips for aspiring artists. They recently added a section where they picked the top 50 artists on Deviant Art and picked Drumfish's own, Jamie Fay. Pretty cool, huh? Check out the link at www.guidetoartschools.com/tips-and-tools/deviant-art ."

Frank Frezetta 1928-2010

Frank Frezetta was not an artist of my generation but the guys and I found him and his incredible art in high school and we were simply blown away. The dynamic and moody art style, the beautiful women and the massive heroes and monsters. Incredible.

The master will be missed.

Ahsoka Tano

This was a recent commission done for eBay. I edited it slightly.

Another commission for the CGS Super Show... Cowman and Ratboy from the TV show Back at the Barnyard.

You know, sometimes I think these guys ask for stuff JUST to see if I will really do it...
he he he.

I know this one is for somebody small... love the kiddies.

I had to start (another) new blog...

"Artist draw and Writers write."

and that's the reason. i needed a place to write stuff and a place to "art" stuff... www.misfitcorner.com is for art and www.rantsandravesbydrew.blogspot.com is for writing.

I had a need and a desire... and now I have a new blog just for writing whatever comes to mind. I neeeed to get in the habit of writing everyday and hopefully this will help. Check it out

Wowio... change in terms

I have had my books, Tales from the Cornerstone Prologue through Chapter Nine, available at Wowio for a little over a year and a half now and they recently changed their terms and presentation. Some for the better, some not so good, at least for me but I am rolling with it.

All 10 books will still be listed at Wowio but only the Prolgue will be completley free to view on-line. The other nine books can be previewed, six to seven pages each, but if you want to read the rest of the chapter you have to download it for the low low price of .99 each.

For the longest time, Wowio had made revenue from ads appearing on the comics and shared that revenue with the creators based on page views. In simple terms, I could sit back, let people read the book for free and still make the dollars (more like pennies but that's beside the point). Now, Wowio has completley removed the ads on the books and removed the "per page view" revenue stream. To counter that, the "per download" revenue was increased.

This might not be too bad for someone who gets lots of downloads, but my product was best if given away... but not any longer. This has made me re-think how I will market and put my books out there in the future and overall, this will be a good thing. But in the mean time, if you want to see the books in whole... it's gonna cost you a little money. If you like what you see and would like a "hard copy"... that's coming again soon... working on ideas now to make my books that much better...especially to hold in your hot little hands.

More updates as soon as I can... Cornerstone is not dead... just sleeping.

The Ghost Hunters

May possibly be a t-shirt idea... just thinking... might be cool.

Thalestris of Thessaly, Queen of the Amazons

A friend of mine, from Comic Geek Speak forums and the Waiting for the Trade Podcast, Dave Williams, was putting together a new comic with artist Paul McCall called League of Analogues and asked if I could do a pin-up for the first issue... love to... and here she is... Thalestris of Thessaly, Queen of the Amazons.

Check out more about the comic on the forums here.

And here's a little intro to the idea behind the comic...

"League of Analogues - "The only thing more dangerous than crossing dimensions is crossing them"

Analogues...comic fans know them well, a heroic parallel pulsating with possible parody. An opportunity for writers to cast well-known character-types into moral and ethical dilemmas, to push the boundaries of storytelling to their limit!

But what happens when these fictional characters become aware that someone's forcing them to endure these hardships and that their torment is entertainment for an inter-dimensional audience?

For over five centuries Thalestris of Thessaly, Queen of the Amazons, has been locked in a struggle with King Minos of Crete. During their final confrontation the forces unleashed split the barriers between the worlds of literature and reality and begin an adventure across dimensions the likes of which has never been seen before!
