Deadbolt

This is my own character Deadbolt. It's something I've been writing and drawing in my spare time. It may seem a little run of the mill here, but the gist of the story is something near and dear to me, and that's why I'm doing it. More on him as I do it!

THUNDERCAGE!

Inspired by the lastest issue of Thunderbolts, here's Luke Cage with his crazy (awesome) new costume. Kev Walker's art is fantastic and different, and Jeff Parker never disappoints.

Captain Britain

This week was insane. Sorry for the delay.

BoomBoom!

Elsa Bloodstone

Getting better with guns on the fly.

The Captain

Sue Storm

I'll admit, I didn't spend too long on this one. Maybe 40 min? After the last couple of drawings, I decided to play it safe.

Black Widow

Saw Iron Man 2, so I did a Black Widow sketch. Probably too ambitious an angle with no reference, and I'm not crazy about the blacks, but there ya go.

Savage Dragon

I think I bit off more than I could chew for this one. To stick to the 90 minutes, I rushed the buildings, and it shows. I mean, even if I had spent an extra 5, it would have been better. Oh well. Not sure if I want to start drawing these out. I'll be posting more finished stuff soon!

Wolverine

90 min

Phoenix

90 minutes

The Canete Challenge

Well, I've taken the Eric Canete challenge. I figure most people who come here know who he is, but it you don't he's one of the best.

Eric recently did a demo on his inking process and talked about how he tries to keep his commissions at around 90 minutes to finish. He started doing this at his day job, where he could draw. The more he did, the more he learned about his speed, and the better he got. He eventually ended up doing a lot of work for Marvel.

I think it's pretty inspiring, so I've decided to take on that challenge in addition to my other stuff. I started this Tuesday, and it's been going well. I think it's making the other stuff I work on better, so I plan to keep it up. I'm finding that focusing on that 90 min timeframe is training me to stay more focused on ALL the drawing I do.

Here's my first attempt with the Punisher at 90 min.
