Sketch: Rabbit Bodyguard

by Brad on November 18th, 2011 at 6:00 pm

After the hellboy sketch, I figured I might as well just run through the list of my favorite comic book characters over the years. Top of the list is Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo. I’ve loved this comic for about 20 years now… consistently the best book being produced and the fact that it’s been going this long and is still this good is a testament to the talent of Mr. Sakai. If you’ve never read it, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Here’s my sketch (drawn with a prismacolor brush pen and copic markers) – click for a larger version:

Sketch: the boy from hell

I’m going to start doing more frequent “con-style” sketches. The goal of these is to practice up and get myself posting artwork more often. Since my comic work that I have going on right now is in more of a preliminary phase and I’m not posting it regularly, it feels weird to not have stuff out there on a regular basis. These sketches will all be done on 9×6 bristol with pens and copic markers. If anyone has an interest in owning these, you can hit the contact link above and we can work out the details. For now the drawings will be free but I might ask for a little cash for shipping – I reserve the right to change that in the future if the demand goes up

Anyway, first up is one of my favorite comics… Hellboy:

24 Hour Comic Page

last week was 24 hour comic day and while I didn’t finish 24 page (or last the entire 24 hours) I did have a lot of fun hanging out and drawing pages for my new comic I’m working on. Sort of. The pages I was working on aren’t actually a part of the upcoming comic. I may or may not even publish them on my site. The idea was that I wanted to draw at least 10 pages of the comic in the style I want to use to work out some kinks. I wrote a prologue story so that I could play around in this world before it actually counts. This story is a part of the overall story, but it’s not really essential information for readers to see. If you’re really interested in it and want to read it, I might post it in super top secret places so you can check it out. Anyway, here’s a page from it. Hopefully it piques enough interest for you to check out the comic when it starts posting (shooting for early next year)

24 Hour Comic Day

This saturday is 24hr comic day. If you’re not familiar with it, 24hr comic day is essentially a day when comic creators work on comics for 24 hours straight, with the intended outcome being a 24 page comic. This year, my friend Sean and I decided to participate (along with our friend Ben who will be popping in from time to time). We won’t, however, be producing a 24 page comic – after weighing my options, I figured I could try to make a 24 page comic that may or may not suck, or I could use this time to work on some of the other projects I have going on. I chose the latter. So from 10am Saturday (10/1) to 10am Sunday, we’ll be hanging out at Sean’s appartment slowly descending in a sleep-deprived madness. The best part is, you can watch us live by following this link.

Oh, almost forgot to talk about what we’ll be working on. I’m going to be drawing a 10 page prologue for my upcoming comic (that I mentioned here) and Sean will be working on his own comic that he plans to start soon. Should be a lot of fun.
