Another Robin Sketch

As good as the last one? I dunno. It's fun to draw this way.

Skull Sword Friend

A little character for a t-shirt design.
You can check it out on en.lafraise.com/Submission/index/id/119208. I think today is the last day to vote.

Robin Sketch Colored

I sketched this earlier today and just finished coloring it. It's kind of fun going straight to coloring the sketch instead of doing another drawing for a cleaner line. I wonder what this would have looked like if I had redrawn it the way I normally do?

Doctor Who Fan Art *EDIT*

I took out the shadows and I think the whole thing is way better. Does anyone disagree?

Mario?

I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy on the awesome Wii that my buddy Erik gave me! It's a pretty fun game. I like figuring out how to beat bosses. It reminds me of what I like about Zelda games.

Doctor Who Fan Art

I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I'm really enjoying this new series/season. But for color reasons I prefer the blue light on the old sonic screwdriver.

Parker Ito Character Design

I did caricature for a friend of mine, Chris Coy. The final use is here. He went with the "natural" skin tone, but I prefer my original green.

Why Do I Keep Drawing Weird Hat Guys?

Chibi Link (from Zelda) Sketch

I just drew this. Probably because I've been playing The Ocarina of Time (never played it before) recently. Thanks Kevin for lending it to me!

I drew a skinny future Hellboy today...

Also, don't forget my design that's up for voting!
The Dark Lords

Maybe Acornhead? and a Guy in a Band!

Just 2 things I drew today. I draw really hard lines sometimes.

Vote for my shirt "Dark Lords"!

I did a tee shirt design for threadless featuring my favorite Dark Lords from literature (and video games). I guess I don't like Dracula that much, but he's a well known Dark Lord. Click on the picture to see the design/vote for it.

Yesterday and Today Sketches

I did some sketching yesterday and some today. Can you guess what I'm watching right now?

More Tee Advice... and a T-shirt Portfolio

I got a comment that the guy in the robes was a witch, so I worked on his face. But just to clear things up, here is the list of Dark Lords on the shirt:

1. Sauron (Lord of the Rings)
2. Voldemort (Harry Potter)
3. Dracula
4. Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)
5. Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars)

Also here is the list of suggestions I got to add to the Dark Lords t-shirt:
1. Doctor Doom
2. Xenu
3. Lord Darken Rahl (from the TV show Legend of the Seeker)
4. Darkness (from the movie Legend played by Tim Curry)
5. Modok
6. Darth Vader
and finally
7. The Devil

I had to look up Xenu (thanks a ton Lee) but the others I all knew. As far as the shirt goes, I was trying to keep it to characters that called themselves or were known as dark lords in their stories.
About the suggestions, I'm not too keen on including any religious dark lords. Including them with fictional ones might be insulting to a believer. As for Darth Vader, I already have one lord of the Sith, so a second probably isn't needed. I'll think about the other ones, but I did get a suggestion that adding any more would crowd the design. Thanks to everyone for their help.

On a related but different note, here is a link to my t-shirt portfolio:

Some of the shirts are for sale at online sites, if you are interested in purchasing any of them, send me an email and I'll tell you where to get them.

Tee Design Advice?

I've been working on this t-shirt design for the last couple of days. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on it? Are there any other dark lords that I could add? Can you identify all of them? Is the concept even worthwhile?

I'm thinking of submitting it to Threadless or LaFraise. Do you have a preference? Would any other site be better?

Thanks for checking it out.

New Brady Bunch and Flying Saucers

This is for Thriving Family Magazine for an article about blended families and how they aren't all perfect like the Brady Bunch. My favorites are the 2 Asian brothers.


I did this one for my buddy Jac Madsen. I went to school with him and I think I ruined something on his computer one time (sorry, Jac). He is an awesome guy, check out his website.

Mechanical Pencil Sketch

Decided to doodle/sketch with a mechanical pencil. These were the results minus really ugly stuff. My fav is the jawa.
