Here is something I worked on several months ago but was not allowed to post until now.  I contributed to a sort of fan fiction on a Spider-Man message board, by doing a variant cover, which you see below.  It was then colored by another guy from the site and you can see the results below as well.  If you wish to read the story, head over to

Wow, Bill really showed some skills with that pencil!  And Flavio's no slouch when it comes to working that iPad brush app, either.

A curious effect on the lady in Flavio's last iPad scribble: the contours of the clothing on her body and the way her eyebrows seem to be connected is making me think "Klingon!" for some reason.  It looks like quite a unibrow got painted onto her.

Here are a couple of small sketches that I managed to kick myself into putting together.

An original character meant for a comicbook story.

The goal posts at the far end of a local high school football field I was watching my old team play a game on last night.

It all pencil on scrap sketchbook sheets.

Nice pencil sketch of Han and Chewie there, Peter.

Anyhoo... here's something that I started working on this afternoon.  The figure of the lady herself took the most focus; I kind of "half-assed" the objects in the background.  The completed work will appear on my DeviantART.com gallery.

There's been some great work here this week.  Managed to grab some time to do this yesterday.

So very awesome. Extra points is given because I'm a cat owner myself. :-)

Knowing Selina, she's likely far more gentle with the naughty kitty than she'll ever be with most men...

I got my sketchpad scraps yesterday.  This and what follows in the next post or two is what flew off my pencils as I was doing things.

Alien space colony passing Earth (of course, I forgot to add the damned thing when I first posted...).

Number two (or, actually, number three)...

I was watching my Philadelphia Eagles barely miss salvaging what started out as a very rough start to their regular season.  I'm kind of thinking this will be a "redecorating" season for them, as they've had some key personnel changes in recent months.  Losing some of their starters to injuries in this game won't help much.

(Coach Reid needs a new playbook, anyways.)

Final two from yesterday's sketch madness...

There's something to be learned when trying to divide your time between what you're putting down on a small piece of paper and what you're trying to get glimpses of on the teev.  I think my concentration started falling apart sometime around the end of the 4th quarter of that football game as I found myself more engrossed in seeing whether or not Michael Vick was going to be able to pull a rabbit out of his ass for the Eagles and put them ahead of the Packers.

Still, I was trying to go back to something that I once saw done by John Buscema in constructing a figure and wasn't quite sure that I got it right.  I wanted to move away from the static "boxes and cylinders" figure layouts that I was doing earlier and use a technique similar to his "wireframe" constructions as highlighted in that section in How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way.

I like the hands study/sketch there, Carmen. Pretty nifty. I always find hands a little bit of a nightmare.
