NJ-CLASH!


The cosmic fur's gonna fly!

I've had the chance to point out the very fun comic ( Fun to read AND to look at!) Jersey Gods from Image comics.
As I said before, if you haven't had the chance to check it out yet, run down to your local comic's shoppe and pick this book up!

Well in the course of my fan-boy gushing, Dan McDaid ( the inspiring artist that illustrates this title) invited me to do a pinup.   After picking myself up off the floor..., I decided to show the book's star hero Barock in toe to toe cosmic combat with his overgrown nemesis Minog
Man, these guys are fun to draw!
If all goes well this should show up in an upcoming issue--SO keep your eyes peeled for it True Believer!

Here's a bit of the process for those interested,

Initial roughs:


My scanner was on the fritz for a couple of days...so here's a phone pic of the pre-clean up inks:


The cleaned up version:


and the full/un-cropped colors:



See you in the funny papers!

New- Jersey God

Here's my fanboy art of lead character "Barock", from the excellent new series Jersey Gods from Image Comics. Written by Glen Brunswick and pencils and inks by the amazing Dan McDaid. It's got lots of humor, big league action and is kind of a throwback to the wonderful silver-age comics of the day...
And the artwork Hooboy... Dan's work on this is like a wonderful fusion of Kirby and Frank Robbins... luscious inks and Powerful imagery, give it a read!

What a fun character to draw! Here's the pre-color inks;

Sketching


I'm trying to be better about having a pad out and sketching on things as I work (during the savings and sendings...)
Here's some recent doodles, and thinkings....

Random, doodles:
This next page is inspired by (I'm lifting it verbatim) the James Tucker cover art for the comics version of the great new Cartoon Network show "Batman, the Brave and the Bold". Plus some "Vision" head noodlings in there too (he's the latest challenge from Everett Downing):

The New Gods meet Star Trek (now that would be a rockin comic!):
And some Barock inspiration from Dan McDaids' great new comic Jersey Gods from Image comics (pick it up, his art is fantastic):
