Doodles while sitting at the GA Capitol




I am involved in a community leadership program and we had the opportunity to visit the GA Capitol and hear some of our legislators speak. Again my hand got really bored with what they were saying and started doodling ideas for the upcoming HellYeah! Project. I paid attention to what the legistlators said. I promised. I even asked questions. What I got from the meeting... money talks, votes have some input and if you want to make a difference  look back to 1776 when our country was founded believe in what the founding fathers said and stick to it. Support term limits and push for strict ethics. Most importantly, legislative office should NEVER be a career choice, it should be a calling of one who wants to serve his our her community and make it better, not to see how long one can stay in power.

BombShell

BombShell has been a work in progress for some time now. She was originally going to be used as a character in "One Lost Coin " but she will better work out in HellYeah!. Her original design and character will be a NiaVerse character, with a totally different look and persona, but will probably have the same name. I am still working on getting my races to look more accurate while maintaining my own comicbook art style. God is good, in that he is allowing me to explore different ways to create characters.

The KoiDragon. Another character for HellYeah! She is one of the 5 Chambers of Death. Its going to be interesting because this character has to be naked to use her powers but I dont ever want to show her as a full nude. So I added the fans. When drawn in scenes she will be strategically covered by the fans, fire or smoke. This is gonna be fun!
concept art for HellYeah! This is Cruise the Viper. I was going for that Yakuza enforcer look.

Doodles during In-Service


concept art for the major villain in the "One Lost Coin" Web Graphic Novel. This character is called Tamblakra. Original character concept created by Conner Dinkins (the creator of Johnny B Goode). I added the idea of Rhapah's Pike and Scroll. Doddles drawn while sitting in training classes at work. I pay attention but my hands have to be sketching while I listen. Its been that way since kindergarten.

this is a piece colored by my boy Don "The Jedi colorist" Armstrong. I did the illustration for a friend (Gerry Lee) for his website honoring Joan of Arc. Don has a uncanny ability to bring horrible artwork to greatness. Thanks bro!

Rot. A crazed killer.

This is a character for a the Red Handed Studio Proposal. it was interesting inking the jacket. I learned some important lessons about line width here. 

Domino Makes her comeback

A resurrected character from one of my first graphic novels as a kid. Domino is making her come back in a web graphic novel called "One Lost Coin". Actually this is Pauline (see my very first post) as an adult.

Still Scanning

I am in the process of scanning more of my scribbles. I have a stack of sketch books, and not enough time in the day to do it. I am spending most of today scanning. I worked out earlier and have to do CrossFit later but I should have most of the scanning done by late tonight. Please pray for my wife who has to put up with me while I spend the hours in front of the computer, scanning, listening to jazz and reminisce over projects of the past.
