When I am not cranking out one whole comic per week, I am sketching all sorts of things!
I originally imagined a more elaborate “Road Warrior” outfit for Little Red, but then I considered how impractical it would be to be wearing a whole lot of crap in that hot, sweaty power suit, and went with this more streamlined “Sarah Connor” look instead.
The undersketch for an upcoming page. I’m looking forward to drawing Crokk again.
I’ve been drawing the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants lately. This is my take on Avalanche, who has the power to shoot shock waves that both disintegrate and propel matter.
Avalanche is kind of a weird character, in that he doesn’t have much personality (a fact reflected in his terrible, generic costume that has a big letter “A” on the front, as though even he couldn’t figure our how to advertise his superpower). I am upgrading his look with a lot of padding to imply that he needs protection from his own destructive energies. I also thought I’d add a touch of deformity to him (Avalanche is a mutant, after all) by giving him oversized hands that somehow play a role in generating his shock waves.

Take a peek into the future, at the work-in-progress that is The Hero’s Journey #4! (Just don’t tell the Peeker! He hates it when people try their hand at his gig!)

Lookit me! I’m on another podcast! Yippee!
This time it is the Synthaholics podcast! Listen to me describe Kobayashi Maru (I actually get asked the classic question “where do you get your ideas?” SQUEEE!), and then rip Scott Bakula a new one as me and the hosts discuss one of the worst episodes of Enterprise ever: “Extinction”!
For the next few weeks I will be doing pin-ups inspired by the yummy work of Akihito Yoshitomi!

Years ago, in the before-fore times, I had an idea for a hardboiled sci-fi private eye story set in a world that did not rip off Frank Miller’s comic books Sin City and Hard Boiled at all! How dare you even suggest that!!
The tales would feature the ludicrously monikered private eye Sudden Hate in mind-bending adventures about memory erasure and a black market for stolen personalities. I eventually pitched this to Dark Horse Comics, who graciously never acknowledged it.
I will show some of the pages from that pitch on another occasion, but here, for your delight, is the only completed Sudden Hate story I ever wrote: “Lament in Blonde”.
I still like some of the high-contrast art I created for this story (which eventually ran as a back-up in Forever Eve, a comic book featuring my earliest published work). You might also recognize some of the callous prickishness I infused into Hate’s personality as being similar to that of Weapon Brown. (What can I say? my he-man types are all assholes!)
Part one this week, part two the week after. Enjoy!
