224: Her Worshipfulness

Alex — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:47:48 +0000

I’ve never drawn Princess Leia before! Shortcoming corrected.

223: Patrin and His Corgis

Alex — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:11:58 +0000

Finished! Enjoy.

222: New 52 Supergirl

Alex — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:38:09 +0000

Supergirl is a title that I thought would continue to be mediocre in the reboot, but I’ve gotta say that I’ve really been enjoying it. Love the art and the story is interesting and entertaining. Pick it up if you haven’t already.

221: Wolverine Speed-Drawing

Alex — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:56:15 +0000

One of my good friends asked me about my process, so I threw this together for him in about 15 minutes. Roughly sketched with my Wacom Intuos 3 in Photoshop CS5, then Inked in Manga Studio EX 4, finally colored back in Photoshop.

220: Why Can’t I Hold all These Corgis? WIP

Alex — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:42:01 +0000

WIP of a piece requested by my Sunday-night gaming group. This is Patrin, a paladin of Bahamut. He seems to be having trouble holding all these Corgis…

218: Isabelle “Dizzy” Cordova

100 Bullets was very definitely one of the absolute best comics I have ever read. Fantastic art that perfectly matched a dark, original story that kept you interested. Dizzy was one of my favorite characters from the series.

218: PoP! Calendar Piece

Alex — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:37:09 +0000

I was lucky enough to be featured in a calendar published by the good folks over at panelsonpages.com this year. The Fangirl of the Month calendar pairs a one their monthly featured fangirls with an artist who works directly with the fangirl to create an illustration for the calendar. My partner in crime here is Meg, AKA Wonder Woman 2.0.

217: Taarna

Alex — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:20:31 +0000

If you’re a male around my age or a little older, you probably at one or point or another saw the Heavy Metal animated flick. Based on stories from the fantasy comic anthology magazine of the same name, The movie was released in 1981 and was a video staple for nerdy teenage boys like myself. Easily the coolest story in the movie was Taarna’s; here a clip of it from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ID0aDDCu4

216: Blink

Alex — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:57:57 +0000

Here’s another character I’ve always liked but somehow never drawn: Blink, from The Age of Apocalypse and The Exiles. I think every X-Men fan was a little obsessed with her in the late ’90s.

215: Echo

Maya Lopez is one of my absolute favorite Daredevil characters, and I don’t think I’ve ever drawn her before now. It’s weird to me that I somehow have never drawn a character that I like this much, she’s such a cool idea for a character. I made a list of female characters that I love but have never drawn, and I’ll be working my way through them over the next couple weeks, be on the look out for them.
