BAMF

Nightcrawler from X-men.
This is what happens when you re-visit those old doodle files that are out of sight and therefore out of mind. Lose sketches can become very enjoyable pieces with just a second look.

Done entirely on Photoshop.

Pooch

Searching through old files I found this forgotten character design I made some time ago. This is just one of three options I made and what I like most about this is how the puppy manages to look kind of adorable without being "cute".  It went unused but frankly, by looking at it I really don't understand why.

LIFE ON MARS?

David Bowie's LIFE ON MARS look. I know it is just a variant of my Ziggy Stardust piece but I just couldn't help it. That song was playing on my head over and over and over. Besides I love his creepy Glam-Joker character on that performance.

Ziggy Played Guitar

Another sketch to warm up the hand.

Dragging My Pen Around

A quick one. Any good musician knows who this storyteller is. :)

Most of the time, when artists think of digital art they think that the "organic" feel of a sketch made by hand is out of the question. I don't think so. Technology has evolved a lot since the early days of computer-aided comic art (trust me, I know) and today yo can do sketches using the computer just as if you had paper, ink and all of the color markers in the world. The only thing you'll miss is the smell of them.

Here's everyone's second favorite mutant. Gambit.

Old Bat Sketch

Back in the day Batman wasn't the fashionista he is now. So when he had to change threads it meant that he knew he was way over his head and had to even the odds against the (usually alien) threat.
When Frank Miller designed his utilitarian armor to fight Superman -Ooops. Spoiler!- on 'The Dark Knight Returns' I was amazed at how effectively he conveyed the notion of a powerful suit of armor with minimal design. There was not even time to throw a Bat symbol on the chest.

I analyzed that design by sketching the suit myself in this old loose doodle I made years ago. Unlike all the Rainbow variations toy companies put out every month, The TDKR armor is a true modern classic.
