09.03.2005: Electric Guy
(1.5 hours, Corel Painter, Adobe Illustrator)

The other day, I realized that I had not once participated in any of ConceptArt.org's Daily Sketch Groups. This one is for "SUPER-VILLAIN ATOP BUILDING FLEXES ITS ELECTROSTATIC MUSCLE."

08.19.2005: Female Warrior (nudity)
(3 hours, Corel Painter)

I did this really really late last night. It took a few tries, as I hadn't painted much lately. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

08.19.2005: Tom Waits
(2 hours, Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop)

I'm a huge Tom Waits fan, so when looking for something to draw for portrait practice late at night, this was kind of a no-brainer.

08.19.2005: Pilot Guy
(30 minutes, Pen and Marker)

I'm still itching to do a sci-fi war story. This guy would be flying a killer assult ship, much like an A-10 Tank Killer.

08.19.2005: The Jester
(30 minutes, Pen)

The Jester was a character created by a high school friend of mine. Think "psychopath cajun voodoo guy" and you pretty much get the picture.

08.19.2005: Lizard Head
(10 minutes, Pen)

I was bored on a smoke break and drew a lizard head. Not a T-Rex, just a T-Rex-like lizard. Nothing more interesting to tell you than that.

08.19.2005: The Kidney Beandito
(1.5 hours, Pen)

Lee Shields asked me to do this for a friend's birthday party t-shirt. Yeah, they made t-shirts for his birthday party. I really don't remember why this guy was a Mexican kidney bean, but oh well.

08.19.2005: Samurai Dog
(1 hour, Pen, Adobe Photoshop)

This dog was created at the Austin Sketch Group after I saw the kickass ninja dog that my buddy and colleague Jason Tiefenauer drew. That ninja dog needed an arch-foe and I figured this guy would give him a run for his money.

08.19.2005: Butt-Sucking Vampire
(1.5 hours, Pen)

Some people are shocked when they go through my sketchbook. You see, sometimes I draw these cool looking characters and completely ruin their impact by making them say the dumbest things... Like this guy.

08.19.2005: Werewolf
(2 hours, Pen)

I'm a huge dork on werewolves. I didn't finish this drawing because I overworked it. I'll probably give it another go and restrain myself from going ape-shit on the lines.

08.19.2005: Wolverine LOVES Pudding
(1.5 hours, Pen)

He really does. Don't believe me? Ask him–>
