Dr. Staten


Title: Dr. Staten
Medium: pencil, pastel
Scale: Original is 8" x 10"

Notes: Ashley went out the other day and I was just sitting here drawing the day away. I look over at my art supplies and simply shrug and go, "Welp, guess it's time to stop procrastinatering and start using these damn pastels..." Long story short, I decided to start doing a study in random colors just for fun. I'm drawing away, la-de-da, and in walks Ashley. 

She looks down at my piece that I'm working on and says, "Who is that? (eyes get bigger) That looks like Dr. Manhattan." I look down, not even fully realizing what I'd been working on, as I was just experimenting. 

"I didn't quite realize that he looked like that, but not that you mention it... he does kinda look like Dr. Manhattan doesn't he?" I respond.

"Nah..." she begins to walk out of the room, "that's obviously his brother, Dr. Staten Island." She responds, dripping with New York accent. 

My eyes get big and I literally cannot stop laughing.

Harley Quinn


Title: Harley Quinn
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Approx. 11" x 17"

Notes: Besides her voice, I think she might be up there with my favorite character from the Batman canon. I just love her design overall.
This one took a minute to paint. I feel like I dragged it on for way too long. But here you have it finally.
Hope you guys and gals enjoy it as much as I had fun painting it.

Come hang out with us at Memphis Comic-Con this weekend!

Locke & Key - Bode


Title: Locke & Key - Bode
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Approx. 5" x 7"

Notes: Ashley and I just recently got into Locke & Key. I was just minding my own business at work and came home for lunch and she was just sitting there with this huge grin holding a big box full of graphic novels. I was like, what is that... and she just looks up and says... "Stuff."
Needless-to-say, she bought the entire boxed set secretly and surprised the crap outta me with it!
Tried to make this one a little story in itself. Hopefully you get it if you've read the graphic novels...

Again, see you at Memphis Comic Expo on June 6 & 7 at the Agricenter!

Teen Titans - Deathstroke


Title: Teen Titans - Deathstroke
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Approx. 5" x 7"

Notes: Interestingly enough, I thought Deathstroke was originally a villain of Batman. I come to find out that he originated in Teen Titans. WHO KNEW?!

Anyway, I just love the design of this character overall. His backstory is a win, his costume is a win. Overall, this guy is just awesome to me. I'm just glad he's not pure villain and has his moments of at least being an anti-hero.

Had a lot of fun with this one....

Again, see you at Memphis Comic Expo on June 6 & 7 at the Agricenter!

MCX - Charcoal Pieces

 

 

Title:MCX - Charcoal Pieces
Medium: Charcoal, Chalk, Ebony Pencil
Scale: Each piece is approx. 8" x 10"

Notes: Playing with different medias trying to get back to things that I used to do once upon a time, using the training that I've gained. These are a few pieces that I did over the past couple of weeks.

You've got, clockwise from top, Catwoman, Furiosa, Venom, and Spawn.

These were extremely fun to do and I want to just do a ton more!

Again, see you at Memphis Comic Expo on June 6 & 7 at the Agricenter!
