Western Week: Tallulah Black

Since I've been catching up on the brilliant Palmiotti and Grey run of Jonah Hex lately I just had to take a stab (no pun intended) at Tallulah from Jonah Hex Volume 3: Origins.

Oh, and here's a little extra Hex... to make up for the fact that I had to sock a few of you in the face yesterday;)


Thanks again to Fred for the Western week suggestion. It was a lot o' fun.
Be sure to check back again on Monday for our third winner of the Name a Theme Week Contest!

Western Week: Jonah Hex

I'm still reeling from how great the new Jonah Hex series is, and kicking myself for waiting so long to pick it up.
Seriously, if you're not reading this book I implore you to go out and buy a few trades. We have to help rectify this sad state you've been living in. If you don't, I will punch you in the face. No foolin'.

Western Week: Vigilante

This is one of those rare instances where I was happy enough with the pencils for this sketch that I managed to get a scan of them before I put ink on the page. Truth be told I was more than a little worried I was going to botch it in the inks, but I think I managed to get pretty close to what I had in mind.

There have been quite a few iterations of Vigilante through the years, from full-on cowboy to multiple personality crime-fighter, but my favorite is the one on the motorcycle:)

Western Week: Super Chief

Super Chief!!!!

Oh, and in case any of you were wondering, I will be mailing out the winner's sketches and consolation prizes to everyone who entered only after all the winning entries have been posted and I get mailing addressed from all you fine folks who entered a suggestion.
A number of you have emailed me with your name, screen name and address already but I'm still short a few, so be sure to get your info off to me (again, my email address is in my profile page) and I'll be sure you get something in return.

Western Week: Bat Lash

This week's winner of the Name a Theme Week Contest with Western Week is Fred!
Be sure to check back each day this week for another rootin' tootin' Western comic character!!

Kick Ass Females: Huntress

And with this sketch of the Huntress Kick Ass Females week comes to an end. Thanks again to Erica for a great suggestion and thanks to all of you out there who entered.

Be sure to check back on Monday for the announcement of the next winner and the new theme.

Kick Ass Females: Ultimate Storm

Hm. This has really turned out to be a week of firsts. The first time we've had a crazy contest like this, my first time drawing X-23, my first time drawing the character you'll see posted here tomorrow and my first crack at the Ultimate version of Storm you see above.
I've drawn Storm before of course, usually the mohawk version, but never tried my hand at this latest incarnation. I may have gotten a little carried away with the electricity effect but in the end I think it works as a different type of light source than you normally see in these blog sketches

Kick Ass Females: Cheetara

Cheetara may have made her debut in the Thundercats cartoon but I figured she still counts as one of the Kick Ass Females in comics since she's been in a number of different comic series over the years.

President Obama

Happy Inauguration Day, Mister President.

Laura is making cupcakes with your logo on them to celebrate:)

Kick Ass Females: X-23

This is my first attempt at drawing X-23... and I'm actually pretty happy with my Freshman effort for once:)
Anyway, X-23 here is the female clone of Wolverine who first appeared in the X-Men: Evolution cartoon. I'm sure I'll get it wrong if I try to explain any more so, if you'd like find out more about her, just click here to read the Wikipedia entry.
