A lil’ preview of panel 1 and 2 out of tomorrow’s strip… in uber-rough sketch form!Â

Been working on the official t-shirt/poster for the Vulkon convention I’ll be a guest for (as previously mentioned) in a few weeks. Here’s the progress so far … (caricatures of all the stars)… will post more progress on it soon!

And below you’ll find an example of one of my many previous t-shirt/poster designs for cons… this one from the last Vulkon convention I attended!

-D

Another earlier rough sketch of Princess Gina I did awhile back… I’ve posted this before, but thought I’d make a trilogy out of these watercolory Ginas!!

Here’s a fun lil’ sketchy preview of tomorrow’s strip… after all that orc and minotaur business, it’s TAVERN time for the boys!

A few shots of a Legend of Bill comic strip in progress… the initial VERY rough stage (stick figures!), and the sketchy phase before inking… and of course the final strip!

Here’s a quick sketch out of the ol’ 5.5 x 8.5 Strathmore Premium Recycled sketchbook I did today at lunch, drawn with a Ticonderoga #2 soft pencil (the best!). I find I like the size of this sketchbook… portable, not TOO small. A bit more restrictive in size obviously, but I sort of like that. It harkens to me to do quick doodles and more detailed small sketches. Ideal for carrying around with you, even to work. Okay, my process geek side is in full view. ;-) This was from a dinky small (and unusually NON-smiling) image pic of the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt I saw on the corner of a TV Guide page on my desk, so I had to sketch it! Sometimes you have to find ANYTHING to sketch. Hey, it’s not perfect, but then, it’s not meant to be! It’s really only a thumbnail size, about 2 inches wide. Art tip for the day: If you don’t want your pencil sketches to smear, spray a little hairspray on the sketch (not too close, though, and don;t saturate it, it doesn’;t take much). It acts as the perfect fixative!

Hm… can anyone guess what’s going on here? Go ahead! I dare ya!
