Sketches and first page of Comic

Below are a number of sketches I've done int he past month.

The first two images are of a comic I'm working on called Refit.


Above: Close-up of the first two panels of Refit. These are the establishing shots. The first is a back-drop shot of Baghdad. The second panel establishes where the next few pages will be occurring and that this is a guarded building.

Below: The full page. I used mainly a 2H over th 4H sketch. A 2B was used only for the darkest areas. The guy looking at the pot is named Frank Slide. I like that name.


Below: Modeled after a photo of House. Me at my most whimsical.... the patient has a bone arm, which doesn't show up so well in this scan.


















Wolverine and Sabertooth. This is done in felt and marker. I kept Sabertooth in his traditional 1980's style costume but changed Wolvie's costume to give it a more militaristic style with the cargo pants. You can't really see it but he still has the pointed kneepads.











Harry and the gang outside of a
building at Hogwarts. I like the explosion'y' thing they are staring atwhile the ground shows the shadow of an evil doer raising his hands up!



Below: Da' Bear. Sketched this one out just before leaving for back home at the beginning of the month and then finished darkening it up when I got home. Playing around with perspectives.

Paintings for sale on Kijiji

Below are some paintings that I have listed on Kijiji for sale. They range in date from when they were made. The first one here is also the first acrylic painting I did, way back in '99. The second acrylic painting was done in 2002 and shown at an art expo at the University of Northern British Columbia. I received a number of encouraging comments from this painting. The third and final painting here was done 2005 and is a depiction of a comic-styled downtown Calgary. The frame cuts off the left hand side which shows more of the city including the Calgary Tower. This one was done in watercolor and felt.

Let me hear some feedback.
