Commission:: Not in the Comics

004 - small

I did this for SilverZeo today. For those of you who don’t read the comics, Stryker was one of those Ken Penders characters that got yanked out cause reasons. The guy is quite possibly one of my favorite characters from the Knuckles Comics next to Kragok and Dimitri. The cloak look is something that was taken from Yardley’s work in the comics, mixed in with a bit of classic Spaz and Manny Galan. (Hey, fellow Transfans, if you read the Marvel G2 comics, you should know that one xD) It’s not that Yardley’s design was different, because he kept a lot of the same stuff, but it’s that I took some stylistic cues from Spaz and Galan. This is now my new favorite self drawn Stryker picture. It’s always fun to draw the dude. : )

Stryker belongs to Ken Penders

 

 

Scab bringing the funny

001 - small

I’m probably ongly going to do one other Joker from J-man’s crew before I move on to Mr. Fixx. I would stop with just Scab here, but these daily sketches are becoming too much of a Sausage fest, and I don’t wanna wait to get to the Terrific Trio before I can draw a chick D : (Though, I prefer Dee Dee to Dottie xD Buuuuuut I’m not getting to them for a while. o^o )

Batman and Robin Beyond

I have always had trouble drawing this particular Batman, which is honestly very annoying because this is one of my favorite designs. The design itself is very simple, which is one thing that makes it difficult, but the most annoying thing to draw is the face. Outside of Bruce Timm’s style, it’s very hard to draw this and make it look GOOD, which I oddly felt that I’ve done.

So I was watching the episode “Where’s Terry”, and it had this kid in it who called himself “Dak”, which is short for “Darius Arthur Kelman”. In the episode, he and Terry are trapped in some tunnels under Gotham by Shriek. I found their dynamic really interesting because it reminded me a lot of Dick and Damion during their run as Batman and Robin. (You know, that time when Bruce died.)

In this costume, I threw in a bit of a mix of the Batman Beyond outfit with Robin and Nightwing. The suit’s more or less identical than Terry’s give or take several aesthetic changes. It even comes with wings and jet boots, though his wings are more bird wing shaped, like the robin Birdarangs.

Anyway, Batman and Robin belong to DC Comics.

Daily Sketch: Helios Redesign

Helios 1

Don’t worry, or do worry if you like this look. I’m not changing Helios in the comic. His design’s completely final. I just felt like making up a new one very spontaneously.
I kind of went back to when I was originally designing the character. One design had a cape, but capes were strictly taboo. WELL, SINCE THIS IS NOTHING OFFICIAL, I can have him naked if I want. Don’t worry, I’m not going to do that.

Anyway, going to try daily sketchings. I might totally stop for any number of reasons, though, cause I suck at consistency with stuff like that. Not saying I don’t sketch every day, it’s just not always stuff I wanna show.

Rebranding Heroic

love love

 

We’ve been thinking, and we’ve decided that Heroic appeals too much to men. This is the first concept sketch to make sure that it’s more female friendly. I know it’s not that good, but meh, I was using calligraphy pen on typing paper. Cut me some slack.
