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.

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.

More Vampi Sketches

The Vampi sketch cover that has been plastered all over DF for the last few days will be released in a slightly differently format that what has been advertised. Half of them will be black & white and half of them will be in color... Well, in red.

I'm going to start churning out the new batch of Vampis next week, after I finish the last of the Wasp books. There's also set of Spiderwoman books and a possible Deadpool and/or Spidey cover on the horizon, so keep your eyes peeled and check back here for updates!

Also, I've been "researching" Gonzalez-era Vampirella images and trying to identify all the things about her character design that are specific to her. Y'know... The things that make Vampirella actually look like Vampirella and not just some random chick in a Vampi costume. I'm working up to creating a set of images that might be used as a tip-in for the release of a limited edition Art of Vampirella book. More on that as it happens.

Top Sellers List

So I checked back at the DF front page

and guess who had the top selling item today?

Aww yeah! Score one for team Guzzo!

Daily Special #3 - Vampirella

I sent a email out to Brian from Dynamic Forces asking what he thought of this Vampirella sketch that I'd done. I was expecting a little feedback, maybe some negative criticism and things that needed changing... Instead, I found it on the DF front page as a daily special the very next day! I guess this means he liked it!
