Glory

Glory (Rob Liefeld's Glory from Image Comics ) for this week's Sketch Challenge (@Ten Ton Studios) he is riding a Leaping Mole... that is a real thing right? I have been using Borden & Riley's #120 Bristol Plate (Smooth) is pretty good for inking and markers. For Ink I used a Rotring Art Pen Extra Fine and a Sanford Extra Fine Point Marker, mostly for the Mole Skin and contour.

WEEK 6

This week characters started being 80's teenagers but then changed into something else. Last week I won the Ten Ton Studios Sketch Challenge (it's was Rob's Liefeld's Re:GEX). So I got to choose this week's and do a good entry to defend the title so that took over from Tuesday one. So here is the week: Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The New Challengers of the Unknown (Re-imagined), Teth-Adam (Redesign), Bizarro (Re-imagined), Proto-Wizard head shot. Next week we will revert back to the normal schedule, it maybe double whammies stay tuned. Also go visit the Boston Comics Roundtable daily sketch Tumblr, where our members show sketches and work in progress of what they are working on.

Blade Runner

This is for this week's Ten Ton Studios Sketch Challenge, no likeness as you can see, but I wanted to do a poster that gave you a hint of what the movie is about. Brush on bristol board ( Joe Kubert School 11x17) with same brushes as the last one and used some generic Pen  & Ink (No-Shellac India Black) it was worse than Calli, so the search continues.

Shanna: The She Devil

For this week's Challenge I decide to go with a more practical approach in lieu of a pin-up. Click to see the original. And go to Ten Ton Studios to see all the other excellent entries and vote!

PITT

This Week's Challenge it's Pitt! Head over to Ten Ton Studios and vote for the best.

Hellboy: Re-Covered

This week's Ten Ton Studios: Sketch Challenge is a cover recreation of a Hellboy Comic.

The art on right is the digital version of my all hand drawn and colored version (click to see) of this challenge's entry. My inspiration was this cover by Francesco Francavilla (left). He is a great cover and interior artist that has worked both on Detective Comics and Black Panther: Man with out Fear (simultaneously!). Both his line art and coloring where inspiration for this cover, the color part is kind of last post scanner, but I tried to regain it on the digital version. As a bonus I used my "Mexican Hellboy" (El Vato Infernal) that I designed for another Hellboy related challenge as an insert on the bottom.

BPRD: Western

The latest Ten Ton Studios Sketch Challenge it's B.P.R.D. Western Style. It was a lot of fun to draw Mike Mignola's creations on a western flavor. The one I had the most fun was Hellboy I decided to go Mexican complete with big mustache, sombrero and poncho. If I had to cast the movie Danny Trejo will play the part.

OFFICER DOWNE

An indie comics this week: Officer Downe created by fellow Ten Toner Chris Burnham (now on Batman and Robin) and Man of Action writer Joe Casey. Go to Ten Ton Studios to see a gallery of all the other great entries and click on picture to see the inks on this entry.

LOBO vs Wolverine

This week's challenge is the main man (Lobo) this challenge was fun to ink, I inked it with a brush on 14x17 bristol paper. Click on the picture to see the inks. Go to Ten Ton Studios to see the rest of the entries and vote tomorrow.

STINGRAY

For this week's Ten Ton Sketch Challenge someone choose Stingray, a very obscure character from the Namor Marvel Comics series. The costume didn't really do it for my so I went with a more literal approach of what a mutant Stingray-Man would look like.
Click to see the entry.

Rogue

This week's Ten Ton Sketch Challenge is Rogue. I was tempted to draw her in her Legacy costume (Age of X) but then I started struggling with how to actually draw her and I wanted to show her using several "borrowed" powers, so I threw in a little Cyclops, some Colossus and a pinch of Wolverine.. You can also see my draft attempts in the background or click on the picture to see the clean entry.

SINESTRO

This week's Ten Ton Sketch Challenge is SINESTRO from the Green Lantern comic by DC Comics. There has been several incarnation of the former Green Lantern current Yellow Lantern. I decided to go with a What if we got really hurt version and he had to use the power of fear (that is yellow right?) to keep himself in one piece, literally. The color scheme was pretty interesting, I inked the whole thing with a 0.3 Rapidograph and colored with ShinHan Touch markers.  One of the main rules of the Ten Ton Weekly challenge is that you have to create a physical piece of art (in other words no computer rendering or coloring) so the original background it's a little plain (you can click on the picture to see the original drawing) so the above version has a yellow multiply layer (Photoshop) and it's cropped for size. Visite the Ten Ton Studios Forum to see the other entries and vote after Wednesday's midnight.

Original Character Design Challenge #5 - Local SuperHero

After wining the last Character Design Challenge at the Ten Ton Studios Forum with my MOMUS Character I have the opportunity to set the rules for the next one, so here it is:

>Original Character Design Challenge #5 - Local SuperHero<

The Original Character Design Challenge! Here are the rules... Design a character(s) based on the short description and research materials provided...that's it! Winner gets to be smug about it, and create the details for the next character! 


DEADLINE: posting will start Wednesday at Midnight, March 9st, 2011 and will go till the Weekend (Friday at Midnight) 


CURRENT CHALLENGE:
BUILD A LOCAL SUPER HERO! 
Where every you live (Country, State, City, town, down the bottom the grand canyon) there is crime and a Super hero void, this is your opportunity to help your community. Create a Super Hero that reflect the local culture, tradition and history of the place you live, it could be where you grew up too but let's try to keep it on a place you know and lived in. For extra credit, draw him interaction with your city/town and show he/she belongs there. Think of the reverse way of creating Metropolis for Superman or Gotham City for Batman.
