Too Cartoony, apparently. Drew Domino, Ben Reilly for
Marvel, Superman and Power Girl for DC. Designed a Star Wars ship and a Metropolis building. DeMultiversed with Anyman. #XFAQtor 4ever. Now Ignited by Voyeur, an erotic art heist.

I'm opening a commissions pre-list for #NYCC2025! I didn't attend in 2024 and I missed it so much, but I wanto to be sure I can afford the trip to the show. I you think you'd be interested in a piece by yours truly, DM me or e-mail me at contact at davidbaldeon dot com.
The one aftereffect of my sciatica bouts a few years back seems to be an intermitent, very very slight drop of muscular tone in my left leg that appears with the timing skills of a master of slapstick comedy.

No harm. No pain. No nothing. Just making me look ridiculous. Or awkward. Or both.

A IG Harley-Quinn related post I just saw prompted me to check how many Harleen pages I've done and it's almost 70! Quite a few for a guy that never had anything remotely close to a regular run on the book. And some of them are pretty nice, I think :)

I made the mistake* to post all that #VoyeurComic stuff on Instagram with Wicked Game and I've gone full Chris Isaak.

Oh, and I noticed that my variant for Voyeur #4 is also public now, so... Again, beautiful colorwork by Eva de la Cruz, right next to an overworked piece of lineart by yours truly!

Hey, remember this silly little bluit? Well, guess what...
Looking forward to the release of a cover I did recently in which I looked to capture this feel.

And no, it's not a Voyeur cover.

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Tengo que reconocer que encuentro una satisfacción ligeramente perversa en lo de no apartarme ni un milímetro del camino de las bicis que se me cruzan yendo por la acera.

Having too much fun with not enough of a skillset. It was going to be an inks warmup of the Creature.

Rewatching the LotR trilogy while I work. I like the new layers you add with time, as you notice stuff.

For instance, it pretty much seems like Gandalf keeps a nice little apartment in Minas Tirith for when he goes to check the library, or gaze upon the foul clouds out of the Mordor plains.

Looking for the Skylanders cover to put in that minithread just now, I came across this: a triple double-cover spread for Skylanders that was just NUTS. It ended up serving as a poster or a standup ad or something. Sadly, I cannot find the color by David García.

This page doesn't have lots of action or neck ripping, but it's one of my favorites from BLOODLAND 2. Mack Chater is just slaying in all aspects of art and color.

Or, as he incorrectly spells it, "colour."

First issue out in January, from Ignition Press. We're filling a full year with this book.

Totalmente. En mi sector se dice que ya no hay encargos por culpa de la AI pero uno va a mirar y, salvo cuatro cosas, todo sigue ilustrado y diseñado por creativos profesionales a los que no se les han actualizado las tarifas en al menos diez años.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Esto que estas haciendo una portada, te dices que vas a hacer una guía muy ligerita de color/textura porque no lo ves con línea, te emocionas, y sabes que vas a acabar pidiendo disculpas a la colorista por pasarte tres pueblos.

Apparently, Craig's death in No Time to Die is a problem because the audience cannot possibly understand that a guy that was supposedly born in 1920 and has had six different faces (seven, if you count David Niven) is just being told again. Just, y'know, NOW.

A-ha.
