Avengers Assemble!
Getting stuff ready for Con season. I don’t really want to add that many prints but after these 4 I want to draw all of the MCU avengers. Just have to decide which will be prints.
Another one for the team.
Avengers Black Widow
Lookin’ forward to Civil War
Just a couple weeks ago, a friend and I attended our first real comic convention. We loaded up the car and made the drive down to Orlando for Megacon.
I’m told that Megacon is pretty much the smallest of the big cons, and the largest of the small cons; either way it was huge to me and what an experience. So much to see and do.
We met up with several other friends while down there, one who was able to introduce us to a lot of cool people like the amazing artist, Brian Stelfreeze . We spent the first day of the con taking in the sites and riding the roller coaster that is nerd-dom. On day one I got to watch several artists get critiques on their work; something I had no intention of doing while on this trip but I learned so much just from watching others get crits, it seemed ridiculous to pass up such a great opportunity.
That said, on day 2, I mustered up the courage to show my work to a few super talented artists in the hopes of some useful feedback. I have to say, the responses I received were way more helpful and way more informative than I could have imagined.
My critique from Brian Stelfreeze was especially helpful. Whether he was born that way, or he picked it up over time, the man is an amazing teacher and has a great eye for his craft.
When I returned home I couldn’t wait to put what I learned to practice and so far its been going great. I’m still working hard ro produce as much as I can, as often as I can. Heres some of what I’ve been working on…
Heres to growth, and continued learning!

Here we go again.. I hope. Danno-light is born and almost 3 weeks old, and when I can find some spare time Im trying to keep crankin’ out some art. I got a few things going this week, but these are the ones that made it to inking stage.
1. General Gannon ( Gannon : Legend of Zelda)
A friend of mine has been working on a Zelda story to spice up the series a bit, I like what hes got and thought I’d do some sketches for it.
2. Dr.Quinn Medecine Woman (Harley Quinn : Batman)
Random Harley Quinn Pinup. Warmup for a bigger picture that hopefully will be ready to post by next week.
Just a little taste to say I’m still in the game. More to come!

Earlier this weekend In the FNF I posted a Zelda image that popped into my head. Little bit of follow through and here we are with a completed image.
I think it came out pretty well, now I need to look into putting a real background on some of these.

I missed the last friday night frenzy due to overwhelming schedule (and a lot of playing Batman Arkham City.) Heres 2 pieces I’ve been working on.
Princess Zelda, with a little role reversal.
Batman and Catwoman: Monochromatic Prismacolor Pencil (Not finished, but I got bored so I probably wont finish it. )
Thanks for checkin in. Stay tuned for more.

This was a long short week full of long days. Trying to catch up on life and in dong so I didn’t get as much drawing done as I normally do, but I feel the 2 I did complete are pretty strong. Since there are only 2 images this week I’ll go into a little more detail on each one.
1. Star Wars [Original Character]
I’m not a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoy them, but I dont hold them nearly as high as a lot of my friends do. A friend of mine was working on a picture of Asajj Ventress when I realized, “Ive never drawn anything Star Wars.” Immediately I had the image in my head, I just had to figure out how to make it work. The base concept was a Sith (or Jedi) standing on a downed X-wing. As I worked it through, in my preliminary sketches I decided it might make the image more complete if the figure was interacting with someone.
When I realized just how big X-wings were I was a little disappointed that I couldnt fit as much in the image as I planned. Maybe in the final I will expand and add more of the ship. Main light-sources will be the burning x-wing and the light saber.
2. The Chemist (Original Character)
In the final of this piece expect to see writing in the foreground, like she is writing on one of those clear dry-erase boards.
I was reading various articles on the new DC launch such as this one by Michele Lee or this one by Laura Hudson. Both articles expressing a disappointment in the portrayal of females in comics books. Now we all know thats a battle thats been fought for ages, and while I don’t agree with EVERYTHING in the articles they make a lot of strong points that have brought me to some realizations of me own. For example I feel like the bust-size of women in illustration isn’t only a product of the male , but also a result of good ol’, run of the mill, everyday, laziness.
Seriously, draw a picture of a woman from the front without giving her large breasts. Now look at it, either you succumbed to the urge to increase the bust or theres a good chance it looks like a man. When are a thing of beauty the world over, and when we try to portray the beauty we want to make sure its clear. “This is a woman.” But when we step back and take our time, there are more subtle ways to portray the female form. It’s late so I’m rambling. 
Anyway, with all this in mind, I approached this piece aiming to do a slightly more realistic woman.
Tallahassee Drink and Draw is this weekend so hopefully some more good art will come out of that. Have a good weekend.
