The green MOON face


For today I thought it would be interesting to show you guys a cheeky little sneak peek of the week. That's what I'm gonna call it. This is the most recent thing I have been up to. I am working A LOT with colour and learning and absorbing as much as I can about that world. What you see here is just the top half of the piece, and that area is about 75% done. Once I am finished with it all I will post up some actual finished stuff. I'm rather proud of how this thing is looking actually. :)

This is from my current job which I will be finishing up by the end of this week. After that I am free...sort of.

Thanks for reading amigos! More is on the way...
Jon.

Sketchbook Seshing and Experimentation


Monday, Monday! 'tis a lovely day for my blog...

Here are some sketches scanned straight from my sketchbook. I find that it is a great way to loosen up or unwind. Sometimes you get so caught up in a project drawing the same things over and over, and it's nice to break that up with a good sketchbook session. In this case I was playing around with my copic markers once more as well as various pencils and inks.

On a side note, this was my first attempt at drawing Galactus. I actually drew him and Silver Surfer on a card recently, and I did this to get an idea of how to draw him. Such a crazy design when you think about it. Who has a spaceship on their head?!


The second piece is a colour study. Nothing really other than me trying to come up with an interesting painty type of look...

More art coming very soon!

Valentines Day Crush


Heeeeeey!

Sorry about that title. It was too cheesy to resist!

This was the cover art I did for issue 7 of Free Realms. It was then used as the cover for the trade collection of all the issues I drew. You can see that over here on Amazon.

You can see my rough layout/pencils and then the finished pencils. It was all pretty straight forward on this one. Inks on the final piece were done by Allen Martinez and Colours by Bill Crabtree.

Wi-Fighter :: Modern Day Super Hero


Hello Amigos!

This is Wi-Fighter. Another character I created for fun. The idea here was to design a guy who could travel using the power of the internet. He also uses the net to learn special skills on the fly. For example he can watch Ryu performing a Ha Do Ken on Youtube, download it into his suit and perform the manouver on an enemy.

That is all...

Jon.

PS: What do you guys think of the blog face lift?

Dr. Sucker Punch


Hey guys!

Monday means new art on this here blog, and todays art is as fresh as it comes. I don't mean "fresh" as in "what makes a DJ...", but I mean fresh as in, I literally just finished this! 2011 styles all the way.

World, AKA all 100 awesome people who follow my blog...allow me to introduce Dr. Sucker Punch.

OK....so I spent my day creating and fleshing out some characters for fun today. Two completely different characters to be precise. Here is one of them. This guy was a lot of fun to draw and colour, AND also to write... I never really considered that side of things as writing, but coming up with a backstory is exactly that if I'm not mistaken. If I get time I will develop his story further and see what comes of it. Some of that depends on whether you guys want to see more, but mostly it will be a time thing.

Hope you like!

Jon.

megaman sneek and the internet rassum frassum


Hey guys!

Well, I'm back!

Not having internet in this day and age sure does suck! I don't know how I survived as a teenager, but maybe thats why I spent so much time drawing! No net to distract! haha.

Anyway, I will continue to post new art on Mondays as promised, but here is a little something extra since I missed a couple during the dark ages!

First up, a little teaser of one of my megaman submissions for the UDON tribute book. I had a lot of fun working on these pieces, but I think I am definately mega-manned out for the time being! haha. I think this is probably the weakest of the 3, but I think the colours are kinda nice.

The other piece is a scan from my sketchbook. I will be posting the clean finished versions very soon, so stay tuned!

Hasta Lunes!

Jon.
