Thursday night I inked and colored the Powergirl piece I drew a month ago. You can watch the coloring process here. Again, Prismacolor and Copic markers, though this one is primarily Copic.

Spider-man Archives released this week
Rittenhouse released their Spider-man archives set this week, which means I can finally post some of the cards I worked on. I did 150 cards for this set. These are the ones I think turned out best. (I used Prismacolor and Copic markers, Staedler and Pitt pens, and acrylic white on all of them.)

Virginia Comicon pinup – final
I finally finished the colors to this pinup, and as promised I’ve included the original picture it’s a parody of. (Well, maybe an homage more than a parody.) The show is the weekend before Thanksgiving. If you’re in the Richmond area be sure to check it out.
I would also like to say that finding and inserting all those comic covers was tedious. But at least I was able to find the Sea Monkey ad and the cover to the Kool-aid man comic. Ahh…the 80s.
soundwave sketch card
Wednesday I drew my first Transformers Sketch card (It’s the only card I did that night, you can watch the creation of it from beginning to end via the link.) I think I’ll do some companion pieces of the cassettes. Maybe that’ll be one of next week’s show. I’ll also be inking and coloring a Powergirl commission.
art blog you should read – Eric Canete
I’m really running out of steam this afternoon. I can only muster up one art link for your friday, but it’s a good one:
Eric Canete – I first saw his work in an Iron Man TPB. Someone then directed me to his blog. He does a lot of nice inked drawings.
Ask a magical creature – Fairy
Dear fairy,
What’s it like being a magical creature? I bet you’re life is full of whimsy and adventure. I’m so jealous!
Sincerely,
Wishful Thinking
Dear Wishful,
Oh yeah, being magical is a bundle of laughs. Hey, let me ask you a question. What it’s like going through life with a head that’s proportionate to the size of your body? If I didn’t have to use 98% of my time just keeping my head balanced on the top of my ridiculously thin neck, I might have time to ask stupid questions on the internet too.
The next time you lose a tooth call someone else. I’m too busy with my world of whimsy. Jerk.
Cordially,
Fairy
Rockin’ the sketching
Sometimes I work in silence. I get a lot of good thinking done working with no movies or music. A lot of people I know say that silence drives them crazy, but I don’t think we were made for constant noise.
Even so, for everything there is a time, and sometimes it’s time to focus and plow through a project. It’s these times I get lost in my iPod and let the brush glide across the page.
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of rock. Which possibly explains this sketch with the hastily applied photoshop colors.
Rock on.
a busy weekend and a sketch of a girl
This was a busy weekend. In fact, I’m not completely sure what day it is. I’m pretty sure it’s Tuesday, though someone at Starbucks this morning told me it was Wednesday. I was so befuddled I accepted it.
Some friends were married this weekend, and other friends that I haven’t seen in a long time were in from out of town. So there was much joy and merriment. But now it’s back to a routine and catching up and throwing down the ink. I’ve got three card sets and a graphic novel to finish over the next three months. So, here’s a warm up sketch for your TUESDAY via my ball point pen.
Drawing of a cowboy
For your Sunday I have concocted a mediocre play on a cliched saying for a stereotypical character. Enjoy.
