Hey, folks. Happy New Yeared.

I had a swell time this past weekend at the Amazing Arizona Con in scenic Mesa, AZ. I even did some sketches. Here's one:

Also, I have some stuff to send out to you incredibly patient people, I just need to get my stupid ass to the post office. I love and appreciate you all.

I HOPE NOBODY'S WATCHING THIS

2011-11-29T00:03:00.005-05:00

Hey, guys! Just wanted to thank everyone for picking up Invincible #85 and saying nice things about it or whatever. You're all the coolest.

Also, I wanted to let you guys know that now that I'm finished with Invincible, all I have to work on is LOOKIT sketches and other commissions that I owe people, so that stuff if going to start getting out more regularly and everyone that I owe something to should have that thing in their hands by the end of the year. I'm sorry it's taken this long, but I'm doing my best to make it worth it and I'm including a bonus little thing for everyone that's still waiting on a copy of LOOKIT with a sketch, so hopefully that thing will ease the sting of a year-long wait. So, yeah. There's that.

Will probably update the blog more now, too. Watch this space, I guess.

DOGS BE GETTIN' SICK Y'ALL

2011-09-20T20:11:00.005-04:00

Hey, errebody! Man, let me tell you what, my dog got a little sick, and I took her to the vet, as you do and it cost a MILLION DOLLARS because she had a little bit of everything wrong with her. She's taking her(expensive) meds and feeling better each day, but my wallet isn't healing any after the hit it took, SO, I am selling a few pages on ebay so that I don't lose the farm.

Click these links:

INVINCIBLE #67 PAGE 2

DESTROYER #1 PAGE 4

Thanks for looking, everyone. And thanks in advance to the lucky guy or gal that gives me their money for this stuff.

And if anyone just wants to BUY a page, shoot me an email. Cory at funkotron dot com. I dunno.

Also: I've been incredibly busy with Invincible and going to Detroit this past weekend, so if you sent me an e-mail, fear not, I will get back to you soon. Sorry.

HEY, YOU GUYS

2011-09-06T07:41:00.005-04:00

I dunno.

I'm just trying to solve the shorts problem, not reinvent the wheel. I'm still not sure whether it looks better to keep that other section of yellow going around the back of the waist, but I decided to keep it for now.

A few extraneous lines on the boots aren't hurting anything. Shut up.

EDITED TO ADD:

One thing I feel like I may toy with is bringing the upper red bits closer to the center and maybe even converging at a point above the "buckle" on the belt.

I say "i dunno" a lot.

Thanks again for looking/commenting, you guys.

BARF

2011-09-02T01:19:00.004-04:00

So, I had another stupid idea for a Superman with no shorts. I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking that it looks pretty dumb. Oh, well.

Back to the old thinking board.

So, LOOKIT...

2011-08-17T04:06:00.003-04:00

You guys, it's more than a little embarassing to have outstanding orders for copies of LOOKIT w/sketches from a year ago, but it is a sad, shameful fact of my life. I have, however, just sent out a stack of them that I was sitting on a little longer than I should have, and have done a few more this week that will be going out soon. I'm nearing the end, here, and I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I just ask that you bear with me a little longer while I wrap this up. You guys have no idea how much I love you for being SO incredibly patient with me.

(above is an old spider-man I did in a copy of LOOKIT for a guy that has been posted elsewhere online, so I'm posting it here as well, so that this post isn't without a picture for you dudes to look at)

If any of you want to double-check with me that yours just hasn't been done yet as opposed to being lost in the mail, just leave me a comment here, and I'll verify.

Thanks again, everyone.

SHADOWPACT'D COLON

2011-08-04T15:04:00.009-04:00

Here's another one from 2006 that has not seen the light of day, UNTIL NOW.

I did this cover for Shadowpact before the series was cancelled before it's time sad trombone. I liked that book, and Joey Cavalieri was a swell editor to work for.

Anyway, below you'll see a silly little color mockup that I did because I am cool.

ADDED BONUS I ~~AM SELLING~~ SOLD THIS THING ON EBAY CHECK THAT OUT:

Thanks for looking you guys. I'm pretty fond of you all.

I came across this in an old e-mail tonight, and I don't think I ever shared it on the ol' scatchblag, so look at it.

Going Commando

2011-06-05T05:33:00.005-04:00

So, it's not like I think these are good or anything, BUT I think that if you're going to remove the hot pants from a Superman or a Batman, they need to have "pants" that are a different color than the upper body of their costume. A one-color bodysuit with a belt is a look that may work for Donna Troy, but it's not quite doing it for me on a Superman or a Batman. It's not a masculine look.

Anyway, this is the garbage I came up with. And don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm any better at this shit than the next guy. A quick look at my blog will show you just how limited my design vocabulary really is. Y'know, just so you don't get the wrong idea about my attitude in posting this stuff.

BUT, just because I can't come up with anything good doesn't mean my opinion on the matter is any less right. I'm totally right, you guys.

INVINCIBLE

2011-05-26T06:58:00.001-04:00

Just scratching an itch.

LOOKIT. FOR SALE. FOR REAL. AGAIN.

2011-05-22T16:29:00.008-04:00

So, bros. I'm currently working on the last batch of sketches in the backs of copies of LOOKIT and I realize that I will have SEVENTEEN copies of LOOKIT left over after previous orders have been filled. SO, here's what's going to happen: I'm gonna sell these bad boys. BUT, since these are my last copies, for the rest of forever, they're going to be $50 shipped, and all come with sketches. The Terry McGinnis sketch a few posts down the page is a pretty good indication of the quality of sketch you're getting, so don't think it's just gonna be some quickie pencil sketch or anything. Just sayin'. I'll do my best to give you guys the highest possible quality of sketch.

AND, just so you know all the original sketches I do in the back of LOOKIT will make up my all-new sketchbook later this year, so if you want to own a piece of history, this is your last chance.

Anyway, if you're into it, shoot me an e-mail. Cory at funkotron dot com and we'll work out the deets. That's how cool people say "details." Now you're in the club. You're welcome.

And, lastly, just so you know what you're getting, it's not the biggest book in the world. LOOKIT measures 5.5in x 5.5in and is 28 pages. It largely features sketches from this very blog, but also has a few unpublished pieces. I imagine most people will be buying for the original sketch, though. Right?

UPDATE: ONLY A FEW LEFT, GUYS, GET WHILE THE GETTIN'S GOOD

Omni-Man and Young Omni-Man reunite and fight space crime together! All the while, a new threat is emerging... one that could bring an end to all life on Earth!

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU GUYS. I'm doing another two issue fill-in on Invincible this year.

Sorry, everyone. You'll have your Ryan Ottley back after two months, and he'll be better than ever.

LOOKITs

2011-05-08T15:58:00.002-04:00

This here is a LOOKIT sketch of Terry McGinnis Batman I did for someone a while back.

The reason I haven't posted any of these LOOKIT sketches on the blog before is because I wanted to collect them all in a sketchbook and I liked the idea of it being all new material after the last sketchbook basically being a collection of sketches you could see for free on this blog.

You guys like the sound of that?

FUCK IT

2011-04-18T20:48:00.002-04:00

Just a doodle that I liked.

SORRY JEEZ

LOOKIT bros: I just moved back across the country, and it's serious business time for wrapping up the LOOKIT books w/sketches that I owe to you extremely patient ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to try to do a few every morning before comics, so we should all be happy soon.

I promise I'll try to make the sketches worth it, you guys.

Tried to make Aqualad look more like a superhero. :/

EDIT:

This bugged me a lot, so I did a quick little revision. The differences are in the arms, and the waistline. Still kinda feel like the legs/feets need some red or black, but haven't really thought of a way to do it that wasn't stupid.

Anyway, I should have put more thought into it to begin with.

THIS WEEKEND

2011-01-06T23:05:00.003-05:00

HEY, YOU GUYS.

I will be at the AMAZING ARIZONA COMIC CON this weekend (January 8-9). Click that link for all the pertinent info.

See you there.

LOOKIT: THE UPDATE

2011-01-04T22:02:00.003-05:00

'Sup, turds? Just wanted to let you hoopleheads know that I sent out a pretty fat stack of LOOKIT sketch books WITH sketches to a fat stack of lucky yous. If you're not among those receiving their books from that shipment, fear not, I will get to yours shortly.

As ever, thank you for your patience. You're all my best friends.

I drew this.

2010-12-16T20:51:00.003-05:00

SO yes. This is essentially the Justice Lords Wonder Woman costume with a jacket, but that costume is rad as fuck and I thought it would look nice. Also, don't misunderstand me, I am not trying to say that this is what I think she should run around in, or that I think this is better than what she's currently wearing. So there.

So, dudes. I'm a little behind on getting sketchbooks with sketches sent out, so please bear with me. I'm getting to them as fast as I can, and I should be sending them out much more frequently in the coming weeks.

Also, please note that there is an option when buying LOOKIT. You can make the $10.00 purchase (+$5 shipping) if you want ONLY the sketchbook, with NO sketch. Or, if you want a sketch, that is the LOOKIT w/ sketch option that is $20 (+shipping). It has come to my attention that several people have made the selection for only the book, no sketch, but have filled in the field for a sketch request. These have been sent out with no sketch. If you have made this error, and have not already received your book, or gotten a notification that it has shipped, e-mail me, and we will sort it out. Cory at funkotron dot com.

INVINCIBLE COVERS, ORIGINAL ART

Gentlemen. I am selling the original art for the covers to Invincible #s 66 and 67. Direct your inquiries to Cory at funkotron dot com. These covers are not cheap, bro, so serious inquiries only, plz.

I'm also selling original art from those issues, so drop me a line if you're interested in owning a piece of history.

2010-08-02T01:53:00.005-04:00

PUG DAVIS is a comic by Rebecca Sugar. Look into it.

LOOKIT update: I have gotten TONS of orders for LOOKIT sketchbooks w/ sketches. I'll do my best to get them sent out as quickly as possible. I appreciate your patience, and thanks for your support, guys.

LOOKIT

2010-07-31T14:50:00.008-04:00

As you may have noticed, to the right, there, with the help of PayPal, I've made it so that you can buy my 28 page sketchbook, LOOKIT, through the internet.

I currently have 135 left, so order fast! /sarcasm

Anyway, you have two options when you buy:
Option 1 is to get the sketchbook, plain and simple. It will be signed and numbered *snicker* and it will be yours for $10 American.
Option 2 is to get the book with a sketch. This version is also signed and numbered, but with a sketch in the back! The simple sketches you find on this blog are a good example of what to expect. The sketching field is only 3.5inx3.5in so don't expect full-body commission-quality sketches. I just want you to know what you're paying for. Anyway, that option is $20. American. You guys.

Shipping and handling is $5

Thanks, everybody! Hope y'all digs!

SDCC 2010

2010-07-17T17:51:00.011-04:00

I suppose you're wondering why I called this meeting. I just wanted to let you cool dudes and cool lady dudes know that I will have table space at SDCC this year! I will be doing some sketches and selling things like mugs, t-shirts, original art, ceramic figurines, and most importantly, a sketchbook! That's right! With the help of Rico Renzi and INDIGO INK, I have finally put together a sketchbook to sell. $__$

I have a table at the Image booth, you guys.

I will look like:
or

I haven't decided yet.

Anyway, here's the line art for the cover of my sketchbook. Yes, she is farting and waving it away with her hand, so you can keep your clever remarks between you and your mother.

Rico colored this for the cover, and it's awesome. Buy one and find out. My kids need shoes.

Love you all. See you in Sandy Egghole!

The first issue of Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee's Thor The Mighty Avenger came out this past week and it's a pretty good one, dude. Get it, okay?

159

2010-07-06T11:31:00.002-04:00

Ugh. I REALLY didn't want her shoulders/arms to be bare, but that's what poor planing gets you. Sorry, Dean.

Some day, I'll do a decent batgirl costume.

158

2010-07-06T00:36:00.002-04:00

If I'm ever gonna get caught up, you're gonna have to settle for garbage like this every now and then. Take it, Brandon.

157

2010-07-05T22:05:00.002-04:00

Just redrawing this old Night Thrasher design I did 5 years ago or so. It's pretty nightwing-y.

Remember that one time? Sigh.

154

2010-06-26T13:36:00.001-04:00

May have gone a bit too simple with this one, but whatever. I like it enough.

There are definitely some design elements I need to break away from if I'm going to try to get these things interesting again...

Over at CBR, they showed my cover (colored by Rockin' Ron Riley) for an issue of the Dynamo5: Sins of the Father mini-series by Jay Faerber and Julio Brilha, so I figured I may as well post the b&w line art here.

Read the interview at the posted link for more info about the book. Obviously.

137

2010-06-07T03:20:00.001-04:00

Quite a number of days behind at this point, but still trying to catch up.

Can't believe I forgot to draw Techtronica when I was drawing Destroyer villains! She's pretty cool, I kinda wish we had saved her for a book we owned. Oh, well.

I left off the nipple tape. That makes it safe for work, right?

133

2010-05-20T00:38:00.002-04:00

You guys know how much I love Brick. He may be my second favorite character from the Destroyer series after Turret.

132

2010-05-19T23:34:00.004-04:00

Since the Destroyer tpb came out today, I decided to do a destroyer-ish costume Supergirl.

And a Turret variant:

131

2010-05-19T02:14:00.001-04:00

Yehhhp, yep yep yep yep.

130

2010-05-19T02:08:00.002-04:00

This big fat box of shit was almost a giant werewolf, because I thought the giant-monster-attacking-the-city thing was ridiculous, so I was just going to push it all the way into absurdity.

Some wise fella told me that it only had to be as ridiculous as I wanted it to be, so I made it a fat-titted turd instead. Guys. That was my attempt to make it less ridiculous I am not even joking. Though a werewolf would've been wicked silly, my comedy turd monster didn't exactly help things.

Kisses.

129

2010-05-19T02:03:00.002-04:00

No, he's not Taskmaster or Hobgoblin.

He's both.

128

2010-05-18T18:16:00.002-04:00

Oh, Agatha, I wish Destroyer had been about you. <3

Definitely my favorite character to only appear in one panel, Agatha is the leader of the HORDE G.I.R.L. Corps. She is tough as nails and does not fuck around. You'd think that you would have to be fucking around to lose an eye, but in the case of Agatha, you would be mistaken.

I smooth wanted to do a HORDE G.I.R.L. Corps comic after I drew the page on which she appeared. Then I got hungry and forgot.

127

2010-05-18T18:12:00.002-04:00

Here's another baddie from Destroyer (tpb out tomorrow. buy buy buy)

Bruiser was initially designed with a cape. I don't know why. It may have been a joke, but either way, I decided it was too silly and ditched it. Looking back, I wish I had kept the cape. It's just ridiculous enough that it makes the whole costume work that much better. It's one of the things I regret most about that book.

126

2010-05-18T18:10:00.003-04:00

The Destroyer tpb is out tomorrow (5.19.10), so I figgered I'd do this type of thing.
