DDF - 9

I couldn't do the African animals and leave out the good 'ol Honeybadger!

DDF - 8

Rhino day! I swear I could do 28 more days of rhinos and be perfectly content.

DDF - 7

Today I tried to keep restrained, and I'm enjoying the results so far. This gangsta's a hyena, and I figure he's a joke a minute foot soldier, working his way up the ranks. He'll probably catch a stray bullet somewhere mid-joke.

DDF - 6

New series! Animal gangsters! This hatchet man is mostly just muscle, and fat. I kept thinking of the butcher guy from Boardwalk Empire. Anyway, just a glorified sketch because I could be bothered to ink it, and don't have the time to fully paint him - (I'm slow)

DDF - 5 - Maleficent!

Herro all you happy drawerers! Today's sketch is TRUE fan art! Maleficent scared the shit outta me when I was a kid, and we ALL know, that she'd of course become a high-ranking general in Hell, so there she is, all pimped out and badass. Seeya! Back to work :P

DDF - 4

Whelp... I hate my computer. And my scanner, and here's what has happened. This is my female lead from Can-of-Worms. That's right, I do fan art for my own shit! PAAAthetic. I'm actually geeking out more over Kevin Nelson's piece from a couple years ago : here. Try as I might, I couldn't find a more dynamic pose, so I settled on this. Hey Kevin! Let me draw under you! :)

DDF - 3

Another of Hell's Generals! This one has a penchant for Japanese shit! Then I got a little spikey, a little sloppy, and realized I'd better paint him. That went well, not. Fun practice though. I really need to get some brushes on this computer... Hope you guys had a good day 3!

DDF-2

Today's Daily Draw was inspired by matadors. I started drawing this demon and then wanted a decorative coat. I think it's kind of ironic that he's got horns and the coat...I think of him as one of Hell's generals, but ultimately I'm pretty unsatisfied with today's design. There's always tomorrow!

Day1 - DDF

Heeeeey, here's day one! I'm gunna post erry day this month. Maybe not this realized each time, but I hope to do some more designs that I'd like. It's gunna be a GRIND! Night :)

Midnight doodle

While watching Hellboy -

Influences....

I finally made one of these... an influence map, that is far from complete, really, but I'd need a lot more squares... This represents a lot of the biggest ones for me though. From top-left to bottom:

Hayao Miyazaki - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Bill Waterson - Calvin and Hobbes
Glen Keane - All his Disney characters and animation
Juanjo Guarnido - Blacksad
Emmanuel Klotz, boards, Albert Pereira-Lazaro directed - Lascars
Toshihiro Kawamoto, designed, Shinichiro Watanabe, directed: - Cowboy Bebop
Enrico Marini - Scorpion
Belladona - Pierre Alary
And last, but obviously more likely most than least - Milt Kahl, the grandmaster of the Nine Old Men, who animated and designed so much of the first golden age of Disney films - his sensibilities were imprinted on me since I learned to hold a pencil.

There's so much great art out there, these things are so unfair. Anyway, that's it. If you haven't seen all of these for yourself - get a move on!

Night:)

DDF Approaches

Hey guys! I don't know if you've heard, but it's almost February, and that means Satellite Soda is holding their annual daily-draw-february marathon. I'm going to try to post a drawing everyday. I'm holding off on continuing Can of Worms so that I'll have time, so sorry to anyone that cared! Come join in the fun! I sketched this up as more warm-up for this epic event!

Midnight Mongol

Just a late night doodle. I can never draw enough of these guys, hard as they are. I recently listened to all the Hardcore History podcast on the great Khans. Really interesting stuff. I imagine something like this when they cross the mountains into Europe to wreak havoc. Frickin bosses! Night!

Christmas paintings

Here are a couple paintings I did this Christmas for my parents. They took a while, made me pull my hair out, but I'm glad they finally have pieces devoted to them. Merry Christmas Mom and Dad!
Hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday!

Mobile Unit - 1

Oh we goin global baby... (I've long since wanted to get a case for taking my work with me, and it was just finished today! Yes!) Now I can work from anywhere in the world with decent internet connection. Need freelance?

Can-of-Worms - Til Next Year!

Can of Worms has been getting heavy! I gotta get back to some other projects, so this is the last panel for the year. I'll be back after my Christmas break - with more magic! (This guy's not just a human Zippo) Hope everyone has a great holiday! Cheers!   

Toons on Tap 12-11-12

We had a great model at Toons on Tap tonight, Sergio. Great practice for flowy drapery.

Subway 12-09-12

Just some more sketches. Today I messed around with markers. They can be unforgiving on a bumpy subway, but very fun all the same.

She's so cute when she's drawering.

More sketching ~

Haha! I just noticed "That guy" points to Michele. She does like to call herself a lady-boy though, lol. More subway sketches this week. I'm really starting to enjoy drapery - I've also been trying to practice a more detailed style. (I wanna draw more comic books) So if you're a publisher or writer reading this, Hey! I'll draw your book. :)
