The weekends are a time to relax... to recharge... to illustrate some of the crazy crap I hear people say when I'm not paying close enough attention.

Misheard phrases are almost always more interesting than the real thing. To those of you without terrible hearing, I recommend it greatly.

Future Pin-up

Giving the Kitty Pryde image a rest for a while-

I've turned my attention to another lovely lady,

Miss Selina Kyle (better known as Catwoman).

I'll upload more images once she's finished.

Kitty Pryde - Revised

I've been tweaking the Kitty Pryde image a bit today.

Hopefully making it better, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that.

That mask of hers is creepy and weird, so I'm leaving it out.

Note from Laura 02/25/11 - UGH. A bunch of people have pointed out that the blue tiles make it look like she's rising out of a pool, rather than a wall.

Also, my resident X-men X-pert (Tom) has explained to me how Kitty looks when she's moving through matter and I'm way off.

I'm not at all satisfied with this image.

I'm putting it aside for now.

Kitty Pryde

Here's what I've been up to today:

Secret Project - pt. 1

Some early character designs for a still-to-be announced art project.

Stay tuned for more updates

as Project G.G. develops.

King Comics Commission

I finally finished up that commission for Gabe of King Comics.

It's an image of his original character, Bluejaye.

Check it out:

Daily Special #4 - Spiderman/Deadpool

Brian had requested that I draw Spiderman or Deadpool next, since they're extremely popular characters (and probably because they wanted to check that I could actually draw male characters). So, rather than doing one or the other, I decided to go with a silly sort of image that uses both.

I don't feel that it's a very strong piece, but Brian seemed to like it and he's the client. In any case, you should go take a look and decide for yourself.

Daily Specials only remain on the Dynamic Forces website for 24 hours, so go check it out now! And if you're reading this blog in the future, follow the link below to recreate what it was like for us primitive homo sapiens from the past, man.

Let me state for the record that I hated drawing Deadpool. You can tell he's been reproduced too many times, because trying to figure out just what's going on with his costume is like playing a game of Whisper-Down-The-Lane.

Sometimes the dark thing around his neck is some kind of collar.

Sometimes it's like a turtleneck.

Sometimes he has ankle cuffs and sometimes they look more like leg warmers.

It's not that his costume is constantly changing, it's more like no one can quite agree on what he's wearing.

Things like that are really frustrating when I'm trying to pin down just what to include so that the character will be recognizable. Spidey was a piece of cake by comparison.
