2/2 Birthday Zombie

Here's a piece I did as a gift for my good friend Anthony Briglia. It was his birthday yesterday so I worked up this fake (and over-sized) Zombie token for Magic: The Gathering. I recently split a box of the new Magic set, Innistrad, with him and he really took a liking to how the zombies worked so I decided to make him his very own personalized zombie token featuring him and...himself.

Last month was my own birthday and Anthony made a couple of custom Magic cards for me along with some original artwork featuring myself and my old dog Chester...

The piece I did was drawn in pencil then inked with Microns and Sharpie, painted in water color and acrylic.

Mousey Dies: The Comic

I present to you my short comic, "Mousey Dies". A year ago I was given an assignment to create a 2 page comic with no dialogue, illustrating a character's death, becoming resurrected in the afterlife, then they have to go to heaven or hell. In addition to the 2 pages, we had to do a cover image as well. The pages had to be done in pencil or ink and the cover image had to be fully rendered in color. A year later and I decide to revisit the project, tweaking the color scheme of the color to fit what I wanted to do with the pages, and I fully colored the 2 pages. Below are the results of my reworking.

I hope you enjoy what I did with the assignment!

Digital Ink Sketch / Painting

I haven't been doing as much doodling for myself as I would like to, so after I finished up working on Blue Shift I decided to mess around with some bold line-work drawing in Photoshop and I was really enjoying the results I got so I colored it up. I hope to do more pieces in this style in the future.

New work in progress!

Finally got some projects in the works! Here are 2 drawings I just inked up recently

For this assignment we had to illustrate animals doing human things. I've always wanted to see an elephant on a pogo stick!

For this assignment we had to illustrate a recognizable person as a god. I took this direction partially due to the fact that I'm currently taking a class called The Mythology of Star Wars. Also, I really wanted to draw a baby Darth Vader!

Stay tuned for the colored images as well as a couple other things in the works.

New Season of "Comic Strip" coming soon!

Next week classes resume at Syracuse University, which means that the Daily Orange Newspaper will be coming out soon, which means that my new season of "Comic Strip" will start getting published! If you're not familiar with the comic please check it out, especially if you really enjoy puns, though I have to say you may wind up hating them after reading my comic, heheh. But then again, why not find out for yourself? Every week I'll post all of the comics that were published during that week at this blog. Click one of the links to get a sneak peek at what's in store!
