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.
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!
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....

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!
