Wait a second...who is this guy?

I'm not sure who the guy in the first sketch is...I like him though.  (Well, I'd like him more if he weren't wearing that yellow shirt...that's too bright!)  He's also not cross-eyed...that's my bad and I didn't realize I'd drawn him with goofy pupils until I put it up here.

Just some sketches for Scrivener and Shifte.  More Co, a few cars, and this new guy, who's nameless.  (He's also based eeever so loosely on someone at my church.)

Also, can I have my scanner back now?  And Photoshop too please?  This whole "I'll take a photo and then edit it in a free pixel manipulation program" thing is really just not my bag of chips.

Some sketches of Roman women, carts, pack horses...and one background.  I've tried my hand at several other settings, but I'm still learning...this was the roughest, fastest background I did, but its also the only one I'm ok showing you.  Bleh.  Maybe eventually I'll get that library drawn!  More Romans to come, I'm still not sure which story I will do...so I'm just working on both. :)

The Glories of Rrrrrome!

Seems like its been wwwaaay too long since I updated here...especially in light of the fact that it's a daily sketchblog.  Ah well, its the holidays, I'm sure y'all understand.  These are just some research sketches for ancient Roman men and some possible characters for a short comic I might do. :)  Still debating which idea I want to work with. :P

About to post Roman ladies, horses, carts, and a background.

IT'S HERO TIME

Okay, so I'll try to bring myself up to date with the hero week. These here are the hero and his monkey sidekick. This is me trying to do fantasy storytelling and also is my way of paying tribute to all my favorite adventure cartoon heroes.

Meet Prince Oscar, Oz for shorts. He is the younger son of King Valtar, the wise and noble ruler of the mystical world of Lorna. Oz is a reckless and spoiled prince always doing what he wants and disobeying his father's commands. One day after entering the treasure chamber of the castle he discovered a pair of magical bracelets that transformed him into the vicious being known as Kaskar Lord of the Blades. Kaskar was a terrible menace to Lorna a long time ago but was defeated by King Valtar and his spirit confined to the Skull Bracelets. After barely defeating him again and returning Oz to his original form Valtar was forced to concealed his son new identity to the rest of the world. Also the bracelets apparently are attached to Oz wrists and nothing can take them off. Now whenever danger threatens Lorna, and against all of his fathers advises, Oz unleashes Kaskar and uses his power to defeat his fathers enemies while trying not to let loose the mass murderer once again.

Of course the only sidekick I could come up with was Bazu, a sort of weird spider monkey natural of Lorna. He is a funny and playful pet that sometimes gets into trouble due to his natural instinct to take what doesn't belong to him.

I will try to upload the Villain of this story later today. Hope you guys like it!

D:  Oh my god you guys!  I just had the best idea for this challenge.  I'm going to do some sketches tonight to see if I can't speed up and catch up with this new, but if I can I may scrap what I have already and do a total 180 with the comic I'm doing.  It wouldn't have superheroes in it, but it would have a definite villain and someone doing something heroic.

Two clues guys early ancient Rome and the Gracchi.  (I am probably spelling or referring to my history incorrectly, but whatev!)

Time for the Villain (dun, dun, dun!)

Oh I'm sorry baby, did all my science just turn you on. My bad.

Lol, sorry, couldn't resist.

So here's my maybe, sort of, kind of villain. He's one of the scientists who keeps Locke and Co under surveillance. (Though he's pretty messed up himself and is hiding that fact. This isn't so much a "one day I will have powers too!" sort of thing, so much as a fear that he really has a hard time dealing with, and thus doesn't face. He just pretends its not there.) He's not really evil, or wicked, or nasty, in fact I find him pretty likable. He's really just the antagonist. His reason for keeping them locked up isn't really dark or perverse, he's doing what he's doing because he genuinely believes that it's going to help people and it's not like he's some cruel, dark jerk to them. On the contrary, he has a wierd kind of "we be bro's" relationship with Locke.

The mad scientist thing is even kind of a running joke in the lab. He's young, a bit headstrong, and more likely than some of the other lab workers to take more drastic measures or steps in experiments. He's very "means justify the ends" about things, and that's probably his biggest flaw, the one that really makes him function as an antagonist. He's a little more Inspector Javert than Lex Luthor.

Don't get me wrong, he does do some pretty ass-hole things in the series, there's some stupid stunts he pulls, and he does kind of deserve a good ass-kicking at more than one point, but as far as his motivations go, they are genuinely good...he's just not really the right sort of person to be carrying them out.

And yes, he is a TOTAL ladies man...There is a chance he may have used science to achieve that...but, we'll just talk about that later.

Oh, and the name! The name is important! It's Currer Knight. (Currer Aeland Knight, but let's not get fussy or anything.)

And one more.

Or two...
