"The Line It Is Drawn" - Artist Try-Outs

Comic Book Resources is now accepting public votes on which new artists to enlist in their weekly draw-off, "The Line It Is Drawn."  Readers of the column submit bold ideas weekly, and the standing roster of CBR artists then have to depict whatever crazy and fun suggestions get thrown their way.  It is rare that they hold artist selections at all.

It is with great excitement that I request your input in this competition!  I have made the final cut after several weeks of Try-Outs, and would like to ask you to vote for me.  These are the three images I have submitted for this pursuit.

Please consider taking a brief moment to vote for me, and if you have the time and are interested, there are 8 other pages of talented artists to look at.  You may vote for more than one which is pretty cool!

Portfolio Update

At the moment, I have two professional portfolios in play.

To the right is my 2014 Design and Illustration Portfolio.

On every other site I am referencing my 2015 Portfolio... this is it.

Enjoy!

Christmas Portraits

For a few of my Christmas presents I drew a few friends.

Green Jaguar

This was a Christmas gift for a young writer I know.  He's put together several notebooks of research and story outlines, but has never been able to see a version of his own primary protagonist.

It was a great deal of fun working on this character.  The Green Jaguar is created by Ben Cendejas and designed specifically from his description.  I took few liberties.

Red Sonja Cover

Dynamite Entertainment just held a contest for a Red Sonja cover.  Now, while I normally eschew contest submissions of any type, this sounded like a good idea to me.

This was my entry for the event.  The majority of it was done during Thanksgiving dinner, and while on roadtrip for the holidays.  Whew!  Got it done on time with a few hours touch up in my office.

Wish me luck.
