Casanova

Here's a sketch of Matt Fraction 's Casanova... About halfway through this I just about gave up. I mean Gabriel Ba has so perfectly created a look and style for Cass and his world that I found it really hard to make it my own. Kind of like the first time I tried to draw Hellboy. Anyway, this was the first time I'd taken a crack at drawing him so maybe I'll have better luck next time...where he'll have to be doing some awesome kung-fu or something instead of standing around trying to look dapper next to a plant.

Oh, and if you're not reading Casanova there's something wrong with you. For real.

Happy Anniversary!!

Since Laura and I had our four year anniversary just a couple days ago here are few scans of the cards I made her, done in my usual lunchnote style.
Loves ya Lulu! Sorry I'm not the wordsmith that Cullen is.
And yes we did end up getting a cat, our first pet that isn't a goldfish, and I think we've settled on Scout for her name.
I made the card after a lot of talk of a getting a cat but before we actually came home with one which kind of explains the IOU... I guess.

Gotham

Okay, now that we're finally done posting all of the sketches from Heroes Con, here's a quick atmospheric Batman sketch from a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not sure how large it'll publish here, but the original is only 5 1/2 x 8".

Queen & Country, vol.8 cover

Here's my finished line art (and the pencils) for the cover of the Queen & Country, vol. 8:Red Panda trade coming September 26th from Oni Press.ISBN: 978-1-932664-65-2
Diamond Code: JUL07 3757 which collects all of my work from 29-32, with maybe a few extras thrown in for good measure.
Just a friendly reminder if you're one of those fine folks who's been picking up the singles, the final issue of the run (#32 Diamond Code: JUL06 3346)will be available at your local comic shop on August 1...or you can pick yourself up a copy a bit early at the Oni booth at the San Diego Comic Con.

Have a great weekend, everbody!

Power Man Iron Fist and a Werewolf

Here's the last of my sketches from Heroes Con. Thanks for hanging in there, folks. Brian Hurtt handled Power Man and I did the Iron Fist, Laura laughed at his little balerina slippers by the way, but I honestly can't blame her:)
The werewolf was the second thing I did all weekend...and I like his fur. In my mind Wolfman wears cut-offs 'cause he's a never-nude.

Heroes- Another Cap and Tara Chace

...um, yeah. Tomorrow will be the last post of Heroes sketches, unless anyone out there has scans. Thanks for bearing with me. And special thanks to everybody who has commented lately, even if I haven't had the time to write back just yet, I really do appreciate it.
Thanks for lookin', everybody!

Heroes- Tom Waits... and Midnighter punching Batman's head off

Ha, I like the title of this post...I'm tired. Have nice day.

Heroes-WWII Cap and Punisher

How about we do a couple of these sketches a day until we get caught up, eh? I'm just afraid I'll be posting Heroes Con sketches forever unless we double up a while.

Heroes-Elf

Wow, I can't believe I'm still milking con sketches into blog posts. I've gotta do more shows!

Heroes-Metamorpho

Hey again, everybody. Here's another sketch from Heroes Con. This time it's Metamorpho...jumping through a grate in the floor and using a venus fly trap hand to catch a fly :)
