I was doing a dry run on likenesses for my book and had a little fun with this AJB member's sketch. ajb007/biggrin

Well...he liked it. ajb007/embarrassed

Indeed. And it's much more preferable to being fed to the sharks. All that's missing is Halle Berry as my personal yeoman. ajb007/biggrin

Here's another quick shot of another AJB member looking hardcore for his cameo; I kept feeling compelled to give him a porn-tasche to add to his years but decided not to for fear of it looking too stupid on him... Let's just say, in this scene, that he and Tony are "putting on the bold front." ajb007/biggrin ajb007/biggrin ajb007/takecover

Re: My art dump

I did the Sci-Fi Con this weekend in Richardson; there was alot of cool talent there like Joe Jusko, Herb Trimpe and Tim Bradstreet.

Here are just a few cellphone shots that I got from the two-day affair...


A Guy Gardner wannabe...

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/gl-1.jpg

One of a few sketches that I did. Here's a Luke Cage fan:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/cagefan.jpg

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/cage.jpg


Here's a Ultimate Fury sketch that a fan picked up the next day...

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/fury.jpg

And this Doc Savage didn't get lucky enough to be bought...

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/savage.jpg


Just thought I'd share with you guys.  ajb007/wink


There were two guys dressed up in Spider-Man 3 costumes black version and regular...problem was that neither one had on underwear and were both weirdly...revealing". ajb007/insane

Not worth a shot even on my cruddy cellphone...but I immediately thought of Dan Same. ajb007/biggrin


I had to buy a new scanner last week but I'm going to post more Willie Garvin artwork as I said I would. ajb007/wink

Re: My art dump

What, no pictures of scantily clad superheroines or groupies reading Shylock? I'm very disappointed in you.

Very very nice Doc Savage Rogue, too bad kids these days don't know who he is. Is it me or is there a little Daniel Craig in there?

And a for that Guy Gardner wannabe, I'm trying to think of an appropriate comment but words just fail me.

Number 3 isn't quite ready for printing; it'll be a week or so but I sold out of the first two issues in one day. I brought generous amounts with me too. Only one older guy bought a pair, the rest were the 20+ crowd telling me that it was the most attractive indie there all weekend.

Thanks, man. Yeah, what's worse was there were some who didn't even know who he was. ajb007/frown

I never saw Craig's likeness at first but now you might be onto something.

Re: My art dump

They should have made those guys leave like they did this well-endowed female fan dressed as Black Canary last year. At least she was more fetching to the eyes...webbed taint only held in place by a thin sheath of fabric is never attractive and the hoards of children, who were in attendance,didn't need to be subjected to that either. Just disgusting. ajb007/mad

Re: My art dump

Been awhile since I posted some new stuff; first let me apologize to W.G. for not putting up his artwork sooner but I've been having more than a few issues to deal with here and I can easily be distracted sometimes. So what you will see first, is a couple of pieces from our own Willie Garvin.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/WGpic-1.jpg
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/WGzorro.jpg

I think that they look great; he'll have to do a pinup for my next book. ajb007/cool


Here are a couple of pieces that I did while looking after my ill family this week; something to keep sharp during downtime:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/DD.jpg

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/pwrgrl.jpg


And here's a page and a half started of SHYLOCK #4 I did while battling insomnia the other night:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/shy4_1s.jpg

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/shy4bottom.jpg

Issue 3 has been done but here's the final cover for it:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/Shylock3_fin.jpg



And I just want to congratulate my son for placing 3rd place in the art contest in his district ajb007/cheers .
I think that politics played a part in his placing seeing that two 8th graders got 1st & 2nd and he's only in the 6th.

Although being his father, I saw the other two pics and they were not up to the caliber of my kid's. Sue me. Apparently his peers felt the same way and booed once they compared them all; they too felt that my son was hosed on that one.

I told him to hang in there; he'll capture the top crown eventually. He said it was sort of surprising to hear his name called out in front of everyone and his knees buckled as he went down to collect his certificate and prizes ajb007/lol . He got quite a few pats on the back from the older kids.

Now they know his name. ajb007/cool

Re: My art dump

Hey Rogue-I certainly hope your family is feeling better now.And thanks for the kind words--they're always appreciated.

Got a quick technical question:I'm noticing that my inking is less than stellar.Perhaps it's a combination of an occasionally unsteady hand and manga pens.Years ago I used an architect's pen and got a finer and more consistent line, but it didn't(I don't know why)reproduce very well.What type of pen would you recommend I try?

From what I can tell of your work, you just have to get comfortable with working with inks. Your lines look tentative in spots. I hate Manga pens but if that's all you have, please don't take my statement harshly. Just work with what you have.

Might I suggest to you that you get familiar with brush and a bottle of ink and practice nothing but varying lines on a blank piece of paper to help give your future compositions weight. You can also use Faber Castell india ink pens that come in packs of 4; it's the best of both worlds seeing that they give inkers the confidence it takes to commit to brush strokes and the control of a pencil.

If you decide to go bottle and brush, do not let the side of your hand rest on the paper or table you work on; it effects you lines. For now, start with the pens I recommended. You should like them.

Also invest in several Non-Photo pencils; I live by them. I can skip the pencilling altogether by mapping out what I want then putting inks over them. Case in point; here's a doodle I did the other day while at the doctor's office waiting for my kid to be seen:

I hope this helps you and good luck. ajb007/smile

Re: My art dump

Here is a commission I finished not long ago for a guy in Baltimore. I'll be mailing it off to him this weekend. He wanted a nude pose from of Summer Gleeson from BTAS and Catwoman at play. There seems to be alot of comic geeks out there that request these sort of things... ajb007/embarrassed

I can't show you the full pick out of respect for the site here and female members who might get offended that stumble upon these so this is about as far as I could go without crossing the line. I hope.

You just have to use your imagination for the rest. ajb007/biggrin

Now that I've tied up the 3rd ish of my book, I want to thank the members here for their support (Tony, Spec & Night) and likenesses in getting it off of the ground. I appreciate it and I'll have something in the mail for those involved very shortly.  ajb007/wink

Hopefully next issue, Dan Same will send me his pic so I can have him getting mugged in a brothel while wearing only a  Spiderman tee and diaper. Men and their hidden fantasies I guess...  ajb007/biggrin


I've started back on the cover for my next project which I'll weave pages in and out between other commissions and projects. Here are the latest updates to it:
