Drawlloween 2015 Day One – Ghost

Drawlloween Day One – Ghost

Here’s my day one drawing of a Ghost. This Ghost is the Marvel Comic tech villain. Originally an Iron Man adversary, he’s now a member of the Thunderbolts. Had fun drawing him.

Drawlloween 2015 is Here!

Drawlloween 2015 is Here!

Ok. It looks like I’m Mr. drawing challenge this month. I’ll also be participating in Drawlloween.

I first heard of this challenge this morning and thought why not. I do love a good drawing challenge event. So I looked everywhere online for an official list. Guess what, there isn’t an official Drawlloween list.

But I did find the one most of my online artist friends are using, and it’s created by one of the originators of Drawlloween Kevin Luong.

So this is the list I’ll be using, but all my drawings will be comic book-based…. of course, because I’m a comic nerd. I’ll post my comic-themed Drawlloween drawing here, on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. It’s going to be a double fun month!

Inktober 2015 is Here!

It’s October again, and that means to a lot of artists around the world it’s Inktober!

Wait what’s Inktober you might ask? It’s an annual drawing challenge set forth by artist Jake Parker. The challenge is to do one ink drawing a day for the entire month of October.

Parker created InkTober in 2009. He has invited everyone to join him in the monthly exercise. But like any challenge, there are a few rules.

Rule One: Make a drawing in ink
Rule Two: Post it on your blog or your Social Media
Rule Three: Hashtag it with #inktober
Rule Four: Repeat

Here is a photo of my tools for 2015. A cool Moleskine sketchpad, Pentel Color Brush, Micron pens, and a sharpie pen. Last year I started the challenge, but only got as far as 3 drawings. This year I plan on finishing all 31 days. I’ll be posting my inks here and on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. It’s going to be a fun month!

Inktober 2014, Day 3 – Sylvia Light

Day 3 of the Inktober challenge. I inked a redesign of my main character from First Legacy, Sylvia Light (aka Aurora Light). This is a redesign of her basic look. I’ve changed her from a long-haired blond to a short-haired, darker-skinned character. I’ve had her redesign in mine for a while, this is my first attempt to place it on paper. I used a 102 nib pen and a #3 sable brush for this inking.

Inktober 2014, Day 2 – Afro Lady

Second day of the Inktober challenge. This time I wanted to do something a little different. A lady with a huge Afro. I placed a black shadow background to add some dimension. For this quick inking I used a 102 nib pen and a #3 sable brush. The inking tools I enjoy using the most. I feel I have more control with them. I’ll be branching out in future attempts.

Inktober 2014, Day 1 – Cyborg

This is my first time participating. Here’s the Day 1 inking of a random cyborg guy. With this challenge, I’m going to try different inking techniques. I used a Pentel Medium Tip Brush Pen and a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen here. The lines came out a little thicker than I’m used to. Might be inking with a heavy hand. I had fun with this one.

30 Characters Challenge 2013 – #7 Noemin, Rogue Daughter of Lilith

Character Back Story:
Noemin is unlike any of Lilith’s other daughters, she doesn’t despise the children of Eve. From an early age, Noemin found humans and their gadgets very interesting. She immediately understood how these gadgets worked and how to improve on them. She had a talent for creating her own gadgets too. Before long Noemin was creating a variety of mechanical devices for herself and her sisters. Her mother Lilith was not pleased with these inventions. Lilith saw technology as a perversion of the earth’s natural resources, this was one of the many reasons she hated Eve’s children. Lilith commanded that all of Noemin’s gadgets be destroyed and forbid her from making any more. Hurt and sad Noemin complied with her mother. It was that day she decided that she would leave her mother and sister to forge her own life and place in the world.

Decades later Lilith sends Noemin and her younger sister Sylvia out on a mission to retrieve a mystical object, it will help her find the decedents of Eve’s first child Adam. They are intercepted by the Archangel Sansenoy who was sent to stop them. Sylvia attacks the Archangel but is defeated very quickly. Too quickly for Noemin to believe, Sylvia is her mother’s finest warrior. She realizes that they know each other and can see it in their eyes. Their body movements betray the fact that they share a romantic connection. Instead of letting the fake battle play out, Noemin casualty asks how long Sylvia and Sansenoy have been involved.

Sylvia begs her not to tell their mother Lilith. She explains that they have been in love with each other for years. That he has helped her not to hate the children of Eve, but to see their potential. Noemin agrees that their mother can not know any of this. She tells Sylvia that she also doesn’t agree with their mad mother’s agenda. And that she is glad to see her sister in love. Noemin sees this as an opportunity to stop one of her mother’s deadly plans and to escape from her clutches in the process. They devise a story that they were intercepted by a legion of angels, that mystic object was taken and that Noemin gave her life to save Sylvia.

Noemin now free explores the world of humans and creates as many of her gadgets as she likes. Unknown to her though in the future she will be pulled into a war between her mother’s hatred and the lives of the Children of Eve. Her inventions will help tip the balance of who wins and who loses.
