Another splash of color and a cute pin-up girl. Happy Tuesday!

Rollerskate Katie's Got a Gun

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend! Thanksgiving was great for me. The day after was kind of a drag as I ended up sleeping most of it. Saturday and Sunday were mostly work days for me--which I actually kinda enjoy.
Thought I'd start off the week with a pretty smiling girl on roller skates. You can't knock that. I have no idea where the inspiration comes from but it's obvious that she stepped out of the 70's. Kind of has that Charlie's Angels vibe. Also, a very "Summer-y" vibe. Which is nice considering the greyness and snow flurries outside my window.
Enjoy!

Holiday Sale!

Help me. Help you.
I need a little X-Mas money. You need an X-Mas gift.
Treat yourself or treat a friend.
I'm gonna run a little deal on my commissions. These pieces you see here are an example of the quality and style in which I do my commissions. They are inked and then toned in a grey wash on 11"x14" Bristol board with a one inch border (actual image size is 9"x12"). I normally charge $150 (plus $8 for shipping). Now, just in time for the holidays, I'm offering to do pieces in this style for $125 a piece (plus shipping). If you've been thinking about getting a piece from me, now's the time. All you do is tell me who you want a drawing of and leave the rest to me. Space is limited--I only plan on doing a handful. Barring any postal mishaps, I guarantee to have these to you in time for X-Mas.

You can see some more examples of commissions in this style by clicking on "commissions" at the bottom of this post.

In the meantime, to all my American friends: Happy Thanksgiving!

Not the first time I've drawn Captain Marvel and it won't be the last. The "Big Red Cheese" is just such a fun character to work with. Not sure exactly what it is.
Perhaps it's the comically short towel he keeps tied around his neck.

I know that in a recent comment section I'd asked for suggestions of characters you folks would like to see me take a crack at. Fear not, suggestions were noted and I do plan to do several of them. It'll probably be until after the holidays before I get any of those posted--I have a couple other posts already in the queue. Stay tuned!

Re-Presentation

The above image is not a repost, it's actually a rescan. Got the old scanner hooked back up and found that it does a much better job of scanning color images. Still have a couple kinks to work out (RE: the shadows on the left border of the image) but I'm much more happy with the results. I've included the previous scan for comparison.

And here is the other recent watercolor I did along with it's original scan. I feel like I can breathe a little easier now that this images are being presented in a form that is much, much closer to the original images.
I'm sure it's a weight off your shoulders too.

Marvel's Merry Band of Mutant Misfits

Don't really have anything to say about this one--I just got the bug the other night to draw the classic team in their classic gear. Hope you like!

Have a good weekend all!

"Make Mine Marvel" Monday

Just wanted to shake it up a bit and throw out a drawing from that other superhero universe. No need to tell you who this mean old cuss is.

Excelsior!
