It's a miracle....

...two post in one day (actually two posts in one month would be pretty fantastic all on it's own).

As I'm getting ready to mail some prints and commissions it occurred to me that I never mentioned the prints that I have for sale on the blog (or maybe I did and I'm just getting old). So that is what I'm going to do...

I have several new prints that my wife essentially designed (she's the smart one in the family) that everyone seems to like quite a bit. Usually I sell them just at Cons, but I realize not everyone can get out to a Con to see me so I decided to make these available to everyone. Here they are:

and these are the prices:

Every print is $10 (+shipping)

Choose any 5 prints for $45 (+shipping)or choose and 10 prints for $90 (+shipping)

Just message me and let me know what you'd like.

AND while I'm at it I be remiss if I didn't remind you that my two current sketchbooks are still available through the CTN Store (just click on the links beneath the books)...

Light as a feather....

...and almost carefree. Or, at least, that's how I feel in comparison to the last month or so now that I've put to bed two Green lantern movie adaptations for GrossettDunlap. Because of the movie release date the deadlines were really tight and it left for very little breathing room. Especially since I had many other obligations for work that I also couldn't drop the ball on.
I'm also going to use this as my excuse for why I was, for two weeks in a row late (okay, a complete no show) with my picks for Fan Request Friday. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Anyway, here are picks from last week and two weeks ago. The first has been requested multiple times and since part of it was requested two weeks ago (the Flash and Dale part) and the other part (Ming) was requested last week it seemed like a good idea to put it together in one piece.

The next choice has been suggested on and off for awhile and much more consistently lately  - probably due to its second season premiere. I started watching Archer when it first came on and I really enjoy the writing and sensibility of the whole show. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend checking it out. You can click on the link above and it will take you to Amazon where you can buy season 1 or just check it out on TV when you get a chance.

This last piece I've been sitting on for awhile because it was a commissioned piece for someone's birthday and i didn't want to accidentally spoil it by posting it too early. The birthday girl has received it and I'm no longer worried about that. Here is many an X-Men fan's fantasy: Wolverine and Rogue getting married. I was asked to use the Wolverine and the X-Men designs and I through 'reality' to the wind and had them kiss...

A glut...

This weekend it seemed like I actually had some spare time - mainly because there were no immediate deadlines for other work looming - so when I started the drawings for Fan Request Friday I thought I'd have a little fun and see how many I could get done before the weekend was over. Obviously I misjudged my time and that's why I'm posting a little on the late side.

I even decided to wrap up a drawing I had started last week and never finished (the two Storms). Both of these specific Storms were requested by different people and I thought it would be interesting to combine them in one drawing. The old S&M version (as I refer to her) and the latest version.

I also tackled several requests that I was able to combine (Logan, Kitty, Rogue) and instead of doing the usual X-Men: Evolution version I decided to go with the Astonishing X-Men design - I don't think I've ever drawn these characters in any other looks than X-Men: Evolution or Wolverine and the X-Men so this was a fun way to explore something new and to satisfy several suggestions at once.

I also took the opportunity to draw a couple of characters I've never drawn before: Kilowog of the Green Lantern Corps and Red Monika from Battle Chasers.

Unfortunately I was so ambitious, I also started a couple of drawings that I found I'd not allowed enough time for and I'll try to finish later in the week or next weekend.

Still a Rogue...

Here's the finished commission of the adult Rogue and Logan getting ready for some smooching. I'm not sure what the results of that would be, but I assume Logan would heal fast enough - maybe it'd be worth it, eh?





I'm still busy working towards season 2 of Wolverine and the X-Men as well as some miscellaneous freelance gigs so the commissions are slow cominmg, but I'm trying to do what I can to not disappoint anyone.
I might have some cool news coming up soon on the secret project if all goes well. We'll see - in this business (and this economy) you can't count on anything until the check clears. I'll settle for it getting close enough to get my lawyer involved.

What a Rogue...

Busy, busy, busy. Between working on model turns, attitudes & expressions for Wolverine and the X-Men season 2 and some storyboard work on a couple of various projects it's hard to find time to work on commissions. But I did find some time this weekend to do just that.

Here's a commission I started awhile ago and just recently finished.

Another commission requested a similiar type of drawing except with one notable alteration. I guess Rogue is a pretty indecisive young lady, eh?

Later this week I'm going to try and finsih this one as well.
