First day of the Art Jam is complete. Unite the Seven!

I could not think of a background for this picture! Had to look up some reference photos of the sea to get an idea and I'm glad with the end result. I also used a color palette so I didn't have to bother with the right colors for skin and hair and all that. I plan on using color palettes for each piece this art jam.

In other news, my application to sell my art at Interventioncon was accepted! I'm going to my first convention as a professional artist!

I am very, very excited.

I'm going to plan out a few pieces - some are already sketched out - and get to work right away. It feels good to have purpose with my art...for way too long I wondered what I was doing and where I was going with drawing, and now it feels like it's all coming together. Things really can only go up from here, guys.

If you guys have any ideas for pieces, let me know!

A Thor commission, all done.

I had a lot of fun making this! I'm glad to finally get a commission, too, since the fishes aren't exactly biting at the moment.
I want coffee now.

Preview of the Art Jam! The first subject is a character from Galaxy of the Guardians, so I chose Star Lord when I'm sure everyone else would do Rocket Raccoon. I like RR, but you can't deny Star Lord's helmet is badass.

The subjects will be coming through daily, though I'll more than likely update them the day of. I now I've neglected this blog for a couple of days but that'll change so bear with me!

Also, some fanboy against the new Batgirl design sent me his unprovoked opinion and I'm sitting here wondering why people feel the need to do that. I didn't ask for his opinion and honestly couldn't care less about it. I didn't open up a forum to speak about it: I on'y uploaded the drawing to show people. I'm all for discussing subjects, don't get me wrong, but if you're going to give it to me when I never wanted it? You're a dick, in my opinion, and this is the problem with comic fans: everyone thinks their opinion needs to be heard and don't care who gets to hear it. It's a problem with the internet, really, but it's been going on with comic fan for the longest time.

People, you read comics. They can change your world. your views, inspire you and make you feel things for characters who don't even exist, but if you decide to argue with other fans who appreciate changes when they had no intention to then you're not being a proper fan. Get your head out of your asses.

Another preview for Queen's Quartz! I'm about finished with a very awesome splash page, and I would've posted it but I really want it to be a surprise for you all. I'm very proud of it.

Also, Happy Batman Day! I managed to get my butt to the nearest comic shops and picked up Death of the Family, which was amazing. A very gripping story, and there's a twist in it near the end that had my eyes wide in shock. All in all, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo have been killing it on their Batman run.

Oh, and there's an art jam coming up so expect an influx of drawings soon. I'm thinking of going monochromatic with the subjects this time around...

The new Thor! I'm excited for the change: I've already read the gripes of fanboys and honestly, I'm so tired of them. We've already Beta Ray Bill and Throg, a friggin' frog, but a woman being the God of Thunder is suddenly, what, a mockery? Unacceptable?

I'm just so done with it.

It's one more step to equality, and regardless of whether male fans like it or not, it's gonna happen, and I for one am happy about that. On a side note: I love that she's not oversexualized. She looks badass, like Thor would and should be.

October can't come soon enough!

I know I said I'd have a page or two done next time I posted, but I'm still working.

The first pages of Queen's Quartz are all sketched up! I've already started the first page and it's inked up. I should have these three done by the end of the week...

...I'm pretty excited about this comic, you guys.

In other news, I have no video games to play. I'm thinking of going back to Skyrim, since it's my go-to whenever I need a fix. We'll see what happens, but in the meantime I probably shouldn't let anything get in the way of my comic work :p

The old sketch of Serafina, all finalized with the colors and the inking and the digital art and all.

Script is like 90% done! I'm in NYC now so I can't work on it, but by the next time I post I'll have the first pages of the comic started.

GET HYPED.

Another drawing of Puck, from the upcoming comic Queen's Quartz. He looks like he's arguing with someone, which he'll probably be doing a lot of.

The script is underway! I've written about 5 pages, and it's coming together quite nicely. The world I'm making is starting to connect, and even though it's a one shot I want to showcase the 4 leads so everyone has an idea of how they'll interact. So far, I have Fina and Puck written, and it's hilarious.

I can't wait to work on the comic~

Two more shots of Levin and Serafina. I drew Levin pretty damn adorable and I love the way he came out, and I made Fina a little more cartoonish than her original drawing.

Anyway, here's the plot synopsis to Queen's Quartz:

The Queen's Quartz - the rarest gem, said to be worth untold riches, yet none know of its whereabouts. It's said that it wields a terrible curse - it lays a heavy burden upon the one who holds it. To Serafina, it's all myth and old stories, and she sets out to find the Queen's Quartz to claim its unimaginable reward. When she gets a lead on the gem, however, she encounters a creature lost to time: an elven boy named Levin. Elves, however, have been extinct for centuries, since their last war with humankind. 

Why is Levin still alive? Why is the Queen's Quartz so well hidden, and does it truly hold such a mysterious power? Will Serafina find it, and what will she lose on the road to her reward?

Sound good? I guess we'll see!

I do love me some One-punch Man.

So I feel like writing a fantasy comic.  I love swords and sorcery, the outfits are always so awesome and I just always wanted to write one, so I think I'm gonna do it. I know I haven't worked on my first comic in a while, but I'll get there.

Anime NEXT is this weekend and I'm gonna go for a day. I miss conventions and this is probably going to be the only one I'll attend this year since Otakon is too expensive and not enough of my friends can go. It sucks because I didn't go last year and I really, really miss it. There isn't anything else like going to a con and seeing people who love what you do having a great time.

Next year, for sure: I'll go.

Brainiac

Wrapped up a one day art jam today! The subject was any villain from Superman's rogues gallery, and naturally I chose Braniac. He's without a doubt the better villain than Lex Luthor or Zod.

I'm getting better with the pen on my tablet and am using it with every new piece I post. It's seriously awesome to be able to draw without the clutter of tools or to even get up from my bed...and I'm aware of how lazy that sounds, but come on - if you didn't have to get out of bed, would you?

A Batman tattoo idea I had that I got inked up today! Man, it was 2 hours of irritating pain, and some parts were worse than others...it got to the point where I was just ready to be done and go home. So glad I got it done, though.

The movie version is so wack. Comic book Mystique all the way.

Just finished a cinnamon dolce latte and I could totally go for an Italian sub.
