Old, cut DS artwork

This panel won't be used anywhere in the comic

Green Lamp Post / Green Arrow-Shooting Guy

Miscellaneous stupid characters that I created for an issue of Alpha-Omega. Green Lamp Post / Green Arrow-Shooting Guy.

Captain Beard!

Another find from a stash of old art in the garage...

Not sure who or what this guy was about, but he's got a very colorful costume...

Hollywood

My depiction of the HOLLYWOOD letters. I wish Hollywood would hurry up already and make me a lucrative offer to my December Sun character, so that I can retire...

Billy Leavell's "Ray Rocket" meets "Archie" part 5

Page 5, the final page of the Ray Rocket saga. Shameless usage of David Bowie (with nod at the end of the story). I think I was just really big into his music at the time or something...

Billy Leavell's "Ray Rocket" meets "Archie" part 3

Billy Leavell's "Ray Rocket" meets "Archie" part 2

Page 2 of the Ray Rocket story. The art now goes into a faux-Archie style... not a very good faux-Archie style, but hey, I was jus having fun. Archie is one of those few comic titles you can find on the shelves of Walmart, and I've wondered if I could ever draw something like this professionally (the answer: no.)

An unbelievably strange self portrait

I did this ink sketch of myself ages ago, as part of the Dad's Toenail book. For one thing, it looks nothing like me. The other thing: it's actually rather disturbing.

Geronimo!

Native america sketch from years ago, when I was in the height of my interest with pen and ink quills. I used to live in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, so this was likely Geronimo-inspired (a few museums on post had information about Geronimo.)

Nibs and dipping pens are just difficult to control and would often splatter (likely the stylish shape to the left of his head was an ink spill that I converted to a scratchy design...)

Pencilled page from "December Sun"

I don't usually make copies of the pencils that I draw, but instead I do minimum pencils and concentrate most of the details with ink. But in issue #2 of December Sun I made an exception and made an extremely detailed pencilled page. I then scanned this and sharpened it enough with Photoshop trickery that it ALMOST looked like it was inked. But NOTHING without brushes looks inked to me, so this serves as a one-time experiment that I won't do again.

Old Guy!

Sketches in ink for a children's book I illustrated, called "Dad's toenail". I did these back when I was a big fan of inking with nibs, or frustrating, sharp and easily-broken metal dipping pens that have a propensity to splatter ink. I've since gotten hooked on the line quality of brush.
