Sketches - Metal Gear REX

Just some fan art to take a break from drawing the same thing.  You can find it in the Scribd embed in SKETCHES

On the Backburner - strips and ideas in the closet.

Posting some unfinished strips that I started on way before Malden.

Abandoned Proto-Malden

This was originally what Malden was going to look like, basically something to accompany the podcast/blog site that my friends and I post on.  Its sort of a James Bond/Rambo intro with our character finishing an adventure and getting a call to "bring in the team".  I couldn't figure out what I wanted to happen between our character shooting his M63 and calling in the team.  Back then, creators block tended to plague me (and still does), plus that second unfinished figure kind of discouraged me in my creative processes.

Realistic A-team Malden

Tribute to Old Fashioned Japanese Rubber Suit Heroes

This is a strip for what amounted to a tribute to Japanese style superheroes like Ultraman/Masked Rider/Power Rangers.  Pretty straight forward, and its similar enough to MALDEN now, just with color and a bit more rough "pencils" (just Photoshop really).  I can't remember why I didn't finish this.  I think it was another case of real life responsiblities pushing into my free time.

Action and punches through torsos.

Felt like sharing, but maybe now I'll finish these up for later.  Hmmm.

Christmas Sketching

That literally has nothing to do with Christmas.  It does have 2 girls making weird faces, a kamen rider, a skull, and various other randomness going on.

Phone Sketches - How to keep the edge in drawing anywhere or anyplace.

Since I'm drawing a comic strip and managing a drawing group, I felt I should give drawing on touch screen devices (ipad, Iphone, Android) a try.  I've found that its a good way to do "napkin doodles" and also has the plus of not forgetting said napkin when you leave the diner.

You can find good free and pay apps for drawing.  I recommend Sketchbook Mobile if you have the cash (available on both IOS and Android), but there are some good alternatives such as Layerpaint (sort of a light version of MangaStudio for Android phones), Canvas Pro (a independent Drawing app on Android), and Brushes for iOS(with its own demos on youtube).

Each have there stregnths, though I now use Sketchbook Mobile exclusively since its similar to my workflow in Sketchbook Pro 2011.

Anyway enough talk, here are some sketches done on my iPod touch and HTC Incredible.
