Prophet Profit

Prophet
By: (w) Brandon Graham and (p) Simon Roy

Picked this up at my LCS and was pretty floored by it.  Effortlessly filled with some great Sci-Fi ideas and a storytelling momentum that has me really hooked to faithfully follow each of the panels, and care about all the little details.

So I drew the titular guy.  John... er... Prophet.

8.5x11. ink pen.

Ironmanning

Some "Ironman" pages I did for practice and exercise.  Fun pages, VERY simple.  Meant to merely show storytelling abilities.  I chose the classic Marvel Ironman cause that's how I roll.

Seems like a million years ago that I drafted up the thumbnails for this, as it was part of my entry to a thing called "comic book idol" hosted at CBR.  I recieved honorable mentions, but didn't get to compete in the full contest... and with good cause.

My intention was to show my potential, but they're a little too rough to be taken seriously... (can be viewed below).  So I decided to complete this challenge I gave myself a lifetime ago and I'll post a NEW, completed page each day over the course of this week.  So bookmark this, or just keep up with me on Twitter or FB for the updates.















Uncanny X-men


Drew this last night when I shoulda been sleeping.  Pretty fast and loose actually.

Whenever I think of classic Marvel, my buddy Jordan always comes to mind.

Madman

 Mike Allred's ever-enduring "Madman."  Loved this and the X-statix.  Mayhaps I'll draw them soon too.

This drawing, as quoted by Mr. Allred himself is, "PRIMO."  That's a compliment... in all capitals ladies and germs.

Ink pen.

The Goon


Eric Powell's "The Goon" is a series published by Darkhorse Comics.  It also could be the subject of an animated feature by David Fincher, should the stars align.

My pencil sketch can be seen here.

Gimme gimme some of that vampire money.

Realized I have alot of sequentials in development that can't be shown yet, so I thought I should do a few fun ones here and there.

It was just going to be quick page, in and out, thought I'd quickly sketch out a page as a warm up and move on, but as an artist I was compelled to dwell and add and change.  And boy, I did just that.  I can't really tell you where the idea came from, happened organically.  Modern indiana jones pulls his vampire friend from a black tie affair and races to find a mysterious game-changer "macguffin" in the face of oblivion.  Yeah.  ridiculous.

The lettering is probably the worst possible job anyone has ever done.

without lettering...

It might be worth noting that I actually wrote/drew this BACKWARD.  Meaning I created the last panel first and then composed a short story to get to that point.  Working backward panel by panel crafting a little story.  Strange, but true.
