Commissioned piece - David Marquez

Meanwhile to tide you over while I work on my color stuff - I went to Austin Comic Con this weekend, and got David Marquez to sketch Emma Frost for me. He is a talented artist who has done some Top Cow and Archaia work, and has some stuff coming with Marvel soon as well. I was really impressed with his Top Cow Pilot Season book, The Asset, so that's why I decided I wanted a sketch from him. Enjoy.

Keep in mind, since this is not my work, please don't re-use it or sell it or anything...

(Actually don't do that with my work either come to think of it, at least not without my permission ;) )

Fewer sketches, more finals

So I decided I'll be doing some fully rendered, possibly inked, definitely colored pieces. I will actually try to mix and match those with some daily sketches now and again as well. The idea is to keep doing art every night, but to just get some more quality work finished as well.

In the meantime as I progress on the larger scale stuff, I will try to post w.i.p., so you guys can see my progress and also so I keep in the habit of posting, but it won't be every night during that time.

Ok, see you back here with more stuff soon.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 101: Luke Cage

When you need to practice drawing back muscles, who better than Luke Cage?

So I was wondering, I'd really like to do some full colored finished pieces. But I don't think I can do it and keep up my pace of a sketch a night, if I do that. So what do you guys think? Would you prefer to see me finish some colored pieces, fully rendered, maybe even some with environments and backgrounds, that would take me a little longer, until I speed up my process? Or do you prefer to continue seeing something daily?

I'll keep going with daily unless the response for full color stuff is just overwhelming. Or we can do a vote that lasts until Monday.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 100: Ms. Marvel

So here it is. Big # 100! I did one of my favorite characters, Ms. Marvel to celebrate.

Tomorrow, I may take a step back to re-evaluate how this exercise is going, expect some kind of update one way or the other.
