Dr. Strange ('s) Love


I figured after drawing Doc Strange that it'd be fun to sketch up his lady love Clea. Now, should I follow these up with Doc's trusty man-servant Wong, or his arch-enemy Dormammu? Hmmm...

A Strange 20 years


I realized the other day that this spring marks the 20th year anniversary of me landing my first professional comics gig, pencilling a story of one of my favorite characters, Dr. Strange. One of those moments that I'll always remember, painting the bedroom of the house my girlfriend (and future wife) was renting when the phone rang. Carl Potts was on the line, and wondering if I'd be interested in pencilling an 11 page fill-in featuring the good Doctor for an issue of Stange Tales. I tried to keep my cool, and sound professional in my response, but as soon as I was off the phone I couldn't contain my excitement and call friends to let them know I got this awesome gig.

So, in remembrance of that moment, here's a new rendition of the Doctor. It's been a strange 20 years.

Girl and her Dragon


Another sketch I did a while back in my sketchbook, and recently painted up in Photoshop. Created a custom "scale" brush for the dragon's scales that saved lots 'o inking time.

Not totally happy with the composition, largely the result of it being just a sketch and running out of room, so the cropping seems awkward to me, but it is what it is in the end, a sketch.

Tarzan



Recently finished commission piece of Tarzan and Jane. Also throwing up the original sketch I started with.

Hope to work up a color version real soon as well.
