Character Sketches - Dragonlance Chronicles

Servin up some Lady Crysania today.

Character Sketches - Dragonlance Chronicles

Here's a character sketch of evil ol' Raistlin Majere. Made him a little too short in this sketch. He could have been about a head taller or so, only to add to his menacing look.

Deathstroke

Yeah, totally forgot to finish the shoulder and upper arm on our right hand side. Ah well. I did notice and finish it on the original piece, but only after it had been scanned, and obviously do not feel that it is worth reuploading.

Batman Cover 1, Ver 2.0

I like this one a lot better. I think the bat insignia is still recognizable in the cape, but the cape is altogether more believable than before and has more weight to it than the previous attempt. Man, I really need to learn to do more prelim work.

Batman Cover 1 of 3

Three Batman images came to me the other day, so I doodled them up real quick and intend to take all to finish. All three images are rather simple concepts like the one shown here, but that's what I like about them. They are all consistent in their heavy use of black, Batman's face only being shown through the use of those familiar eyes, and the Bat insignia being shown some other way in the piece. Pretty well-worn territory, I'm sure (I never really followed any of the Batman titles that closely, so I'm not that familiar with many "famous" cover images), but hopefully something unique will come out of them.

{EDIT: After some thought and seeing what this image looks like on the web, I've decided to re-do it and do a better job of studying the draping of Batman's cape. The image seen here was completely impulsive and I feel that if some more convincing draping was applied to the piece instead of these fake-o spaghetti-looking folds, it would definitely strengthen the piece. Should have another one up within the week.}

2 Minute Sketches

Whenever I'm penciling a page, I always keep a folded letter-size piece of paper under my right hand to protect the drawing from smudging. After a while, the paper gets dirty, or I temporarily misplace it, so I grab a new sheet. Instead of discarding the old ones, I've recently started doing really quick sketches on them.

In these examples, Robin's face looks totally messed up. I made his eyes too far apart and he kind of looks Asian. I think at one point during college I was trying to perfect the whole "eyes too far apart" thing when drawing faces, but I've since tried to take a different, more anatomically correct approach. I'll getcha right next time, buddy boy.
I'm pleased with the way the Joker turned out, though. To me, he looks like a combination of the old Cesar Romero Joker with the new, gritty Heath Ledger Joker. (Is anyone else now scared to see that movie? I'm scurred.)
