Well, I've started putting together materials in order to exhibit at conventions again for the 1st time in over 10 years. Here's my banner. Haven't sent it off to print yet. Wanted people's thoughts.

Some rough "Punisher" character design explorations. I had a lot of fun with the shape language on these.

I've started teaching myself Rive because it seems really fascinating to create interaction animation with it. This was my little take on one of their tutorials. Loving that "distance constraint". So handy!

Latest coloring page is up! Incidentally, I changed the layout of the website so now there's a separate page for the coloring book and the stand-alone issue.

A fun exercise I started having my classes do is draw their own characters in another show/movie/game's style and then have them guess which style their classmate was trying to emulate.Guess which I did for these 2.

"Weaver: It's hypnotizing watching Weaver weave his magic through
the very atoms of his creations. No one does it better--just
don't tell him that. His ego is already massive enough."

Did a few different takes on "Wonder Woman" and this was the one I liked best so I whipped up a rough model sheet. Working on inking it in my spare time.

Like I said, really enjoying this messier ink brush I've been using. I'm kind of addicted to it lately. Lots more of these come!

Figured I'd post before my class gets started.

Been absolutely loving this etchy inker. Getting lots of nice sketchy, uneven lines that to me, leave the drawings with lots of life after inking.

Super-duper-deformed "Justice Gang"! (Forgive me, I couldn't find good reference of Mr. Terrific's chair so I kinda made my own)

Didn't know the 20th was "Batman Day" so I'm a little late to the party. Here's my take on the iconic Frank Miller "Dark Knight" pose. I'll add Robin in at some point.
