Hello! I haven’t updated in a while, due mainly to finals and my wife’s birthday preparations, but now all that’s over with it’s less than 2 weeks until Phoenix Comicon! Lots of art and preparation to get done, and the orders from Vistaprints keep coming in with the colors all messed up so we’re trying [...]

So Phoenix Comic Con is less than a month away, and I’m trying to get as much as I can ready. I will have a table in the exhibit hall, number 70B , which I’m sharing with Emma of emacartoon.com. You can see the map of the hall here. I will have a setup with [...]

I finally made it to one of the open sessions over at MCC, in time to make up one of my previous assignments – another anatomy study, of the musculature of the arm. I actually missed the lecture on this subject, so I had to work entirely from the diagrams and descriptions in the handouts [...]

Everyone needs to go RIGHT NOW and look at the awesome, shiny, new, completely redesigned website for Monique Reddy Photography. Here’s a preview: There’s still content to be added, but it’s all running on a WordPress-working-as-a-CMS backend so that will be easy for Nicki to do herself. I’m MUCH happier with this design than her [...]

This is a study I actually did a week or two ago, just never got around to getting it on the blog here… I always have the toughest time drawing the back musculature. It’s such a complex structure, with so many layers of muscles and bone , many of which are visible to some extent [...]

New pic! This one is a commission from my good friend Eric Fiallos, a representation of his piratical RenFaire persona. This is also my first attempt to use Manga Studio for inking, the ink pen and pencil tools in that program are quite good, though the eraser in vector mode isn’t quite as good as [...]

So last night I watched the latest Matt Smith Doctor Who episode, the third of this season, featuring the return of the Doctor’s nemeses, the Daleks. I’m not sure what I think about the new redesign, especially in their new Apple iDalek color assortment. I understand the colors indicate their functions, which isn’t a new [...]

Just wanted to post a quick digital painting of the Great Old One, Cthulhu, the fan-favorite elritch monstrous thing created by good old crazy uncle Howard. Not quite as cuddly as the plushie version, but I’m reasonably happy with it. By the way if anyone out there hasn’t seen it, the silent film adaptation of [...]

I was too sick last night to make it in to school, so I don’t have a new anatomy study. This makes me sad. However, I was going over ideas for pinup-style work with my wife, and she requested a drawing of Batman and Catwoman. So here they are! My Batman is heavily influenced by [...]

I do have another charcoal anatomy study to post, but I wanted to get back in to the swing of working digitally, so for practice I’ve made a pic of Annie and Reynard from the wonderful webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court: Will update with more stuff later. I’m going to try to get some sleep!
