EOC Sketchbook Challenge (September 2012)

A fun topic on the 11 O'Clock Comics forums. The EOC Sketchbook Challenge is Batman this month. This seemed like the right thing to draw.

EOC Sketchbook September 2012  check out the challenge. Nearly 200 pages of artwork by rookies and pros in all kinds of styles, media and themes. It's fun.

I must have Samuel Jackson on the brain. Who doesn't want to see Nick Fury eat a Kahuna Burger?

Creator Owned Day 2012.

I'm told that today is Creator Owned Day 2012. This of course referencing "creator owned" comic books and web comics or just plain old non corporate creative output.

Should I "pimp my wares" as it were to you guys & gals? Maybe. But let me give it up to a minute amount of people doing what they do, the way they want to. This is in no way a complete list but a section of people that I think deserve your attention. Did I miss some one? Let me know in the comments section and I'll rectify the mistake. I will also link this to facebook, twitter & google plus.

all are 5.5"x7" Pitt pens & pencil on Bristol

Did this little sketch while at work. (sound familiar?) Poor Ben Grimm, he's kind of bummed out because of the snow day.

It's a fun Sketchbook Challenge this month, what the holidays mean to me. Well, comics are part of my everyday, so why not play with that and have comics characters in their holidays?

EOC Sketchbook Challenge (December)

Did this little sketch while at work. That Frank Castle doesn't know when to take a vacation.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force!

Just for fun I did this little post it note Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Sketch. I did it for the oft mentioned EOC Sketchbook Challenge. I did it while at work. PITT pen on sticky note. Color in photoshop.



ATHF

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I have a lot of work in progress pages for a project with Jon Westhoff but we’re not quite ready to announce it just yet.

So for fun I drew this little guy here. Yeah that’s good ol’ Cyclops. He seems to have developed an eating disorder after the whole schism event. This was drawn for David A Price of 11 O’Clock Comics fame. I did it as a cheer me up for him, I hope that you all like it as well.

Oh, Slim. You’ve let yourself go. L

Drink n Draw Quickie

I didn't expect to do any drawing last night at the bars but I did manage to squeak this one out. Still in the Halloween theme, it's a good ol' mummy. A fairly static shot, but in my defense it was pretty dark in there.

3"x 5.75"  pencil on newsprint

Warm Up Sketch: Capwolf!

Another warm up sketch that took a tad bit too long (darn research). This one is of the infamous "Capwolf". Yeah, Marvel decided to turn Cappy into a werewolf in a six part story way back in 1992. Sounds kind of ridiculous, but let's face it, it looks pretty cool. In the tradition of October & Halloween I thought it was a fitting little sketch. I hope you like it.

11 O'Clock Comics Sketchbook Challenge 90's X-Men FINAL ENTRY

KISSY.

With all the hype for X-Men Schism with all the conflict between Cyclops & Wolverine I think that this is the only fitting resolution to the Schism storyline. Admittedly, I am not reading the title, but all the podcasters talking about the storyline and the confrontation these two men have given me the feeling that they are in love with each other and deeply confused about their feelings. This confusion manifests as rage within the comics, but not when the brush is in my hand! I hope you enjoy the image. It is a subject matter that I haven't explored in comics before.

As most of you probably already know, I do a weekly podcast with Jon Westhoff & Paul Wheels. It's called Earth 2 Podcast and we've recently branched out the show to a satellite mini-show entitled E2P Shots, No Chase. It's a smaller, shorter, bite-sized show usually focusing on one book. This week we did something different and I had the pleasure of talking to 11 O'clock Comics forumite & twitter biddy Felipe Garza. It was a fun conversation about comics. Please listen on the player below or subscribe via podbean or itunes. Thanks a million.

11 O'Clock Comics Sketchbook Challenge 90's X-Men (again)

See? I toldja that I would try to post here more often. Here's another 90's X-character from the EOC Challenge for September. I took a lot more time on this than I expected so it shouldn't really count as a warm up, since it cut into my actual inking time for an upcoming Apocalypse...Meh short.

Anyway, enough of that. Here's Cameron Hodge. 5.5"x7" Ink on Bristol

Oh & if ya wanna join in on the fun check out 11 o'Clock Comics Sketchbook Challenge September

11 O'Clock Comics Sketchbook Challenge & Warm ups

Hello all, Just trying to be a bit more proactive on this blog thing. I'll be posting some warm ups, drink n drawings, and 11 O'Clock Sketchbook Challenge pieces. The EOC Sketchbook are basically a bunch of people getting to gether and tossing out ideas for what to draw for the month. Anyone can participate and while there are rules they are pretty lax. It's fun for me.

So here is my EOC Sketchbook drawing for today. The theme is 1990's X-Men so I thought I'd bring inm classic Excalibur member Rachel Summers. Rocking it old school with a No. 2 pencil and some copy paper. I hope you like.
