I have been working on a new comic idea. Here are the main characters, a French cavalryman and his horse.



I made Sculpey models of both of them to help me draw them better.

playing around with acrylics

This weekend I pulled out my acrylic paints, and threw them on a sketch of a Lipizzaner Stallion that I had drawn. It turned out much better than I expected.

Here it is...

weekend overview

I have been really wanting to purchase a miniature horse. (NOT PONIES) but horses in miniature... I got to look at some this weekend and they are awesome!

here is a video collage of the horses that I looked at. The first one in the video is for sale. I wanted to take him home but I am not prepared at all

Also this week I managed to slip in a clay model. This is Asterix the Gaul.

More Picks!

A few sketches of some of the characters from the story I am writing. Hope to post more soon.

New Work!

Here are a few pics from a story I'm writing. Hope you like them! These are colored digitally in Photoshop.

Some loose sketches

I haven't been able to post lately but that doesn't mean I haven't been drawing. I am into horses lately. They are really fascinating creatures with bold shapes and interesting poses. They are hard to draw but fun when they look right!

Below are some that I drew this past week.

French Grenadiers

Here is a drawing of some French Grenadiers during the Napoleonic wars. The Grenadiers were elite infantry units usually the largest group on the field. They were used for assaulting fortified positions.




The picture has bands on the top and bottom due to my horrid scanner.

Some civil war sketches

I sketched a few Civil War picks during the weekend. I posed for one of them, and had to redraw it over five times. I guess because a handsome guy like me can be hard to draw. This comes from other people, NOT myself.

General J. Jackson "Stonewall"


Pickett's Charge "the high water mark"




...and this is a picture from the Indian wars.
I wonder who posed for that one?



...and here with a little color pencil.

A few weekend sketches.

Just trying to stay loose with some fast drawing.

Digital Color

I threw some color on some sketches I had lying around.

These rodents are equipped with penetration search lights on the tip of each gun!

but they should have stopped poking around! AAAAaaahhHHHH!!!!! No seriously they do this all the time when they're supposed to go to the vet clinic. Being declawed is horrid.
