ATTACK!!!!!

THIS COMIC BOOK INSPIRED PIECE WAS DONE TO GO ALONG WITH A FASHION COLLECTION MY FRIEND JASPER GARVIDA HAD DONE. HE HAD MADE SOME MUSLIN DRESSES BASED ON THIS WACKY SAMURAI-AFRO-PUFF IDEA AND I DID SOME ART WORK TO DEMONSTRATE THE THEME IN ACTION.

I REALLY LIKE DRAWING OTHER PEOPLE'S CLOTHING SO I ALWAYS JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO DO IT WHEN ASKED. I REALLY LIKE THE HYPED-UP GREEN AND BLUE COLORS IN THE PANELS. I JUST OVER SATURATED IT WITH CHEAP KIDS WATERCOLORS. THAT ALWAYS WORKS NICELY.

TIGHTS AND FIGHTS!!!

SINCE I SEEM TO BE DRAWING AND POSTING SO MANY SUPER-LADIES LATELY I SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY I AM DOING THEM. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTO SUPER-HERO COSTUMES. STARTING WITH LYNDA CARTER AS WONDER WOMAN ON TV WHEN I WAS A KIDDIE, I'VE ALWAYS LIKED THE IDEA THAT THESE GIRLS FIGHT BAD GUYS IN A SWIMSUIT AND HIGH HEELS. IT'S SUCH A MAN'S FANTASY. VERY IMPRACTICAL. BUT THEREIN LIES THE FUN!
SOMETIMES I TRY TO DOODLE A CERTAIN SUPER WOMAN AND THEN REALIZE THAT I CANNOT FIND A HALF WAY DECENT PICTURE OF WHAT HER ENTIRE COSTUME LOOKS LIKE. THIS PERTAINS MORE TO THE LESSER CHARACTERS THEN THE FAMOUS ONES LIKE WONDER WOMAN AND STORM. SO, I STARTED THIS NEW PROJECT FOR MYSELF OF DOCUMENTING THE OUTFITS OF THE DC AND MARVEL COMICS SUPER-HEROINES. HOPEFULLY WHEN I'M DONE I'LL HAVE A HUGE ARCHIVE OF IMAGES AND A BETTER IDEA OF HOW THESE CHICKS PICK OUT THEIR CRIME FIGHTING GEAR.

THAT SAID, HERE ARE HARLEY QUINN, KILLER FROST, DR. LIGHT AND CLEA.

MERRY X-MAS '08!!!!

MERRY X-MAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR '09 EVERYONE!!!!
I'M GOING TO HAVE MY HOLIDAY MIMOSA NOW . . .
=P

POW!!! BAM!!! BOOM!!!

HERE FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE ARE THREE MORE SUPER-STUNNERS: EMERALD EMPRESS, CATWOMAN AND THE BLACK CANARY. I LIKE THE WAY THESE THREE TURNED OUT, ESPECIALLY EMERALD EMPRESS. I WORKED AT MAKING HER EXPRESSION LOOK CRAZED, AS IF SHE WERE TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE YOU (WHICH IS WHAT SHE DOES, OF COURSE).

LAIDES WHO LAUNCH

MY LOVE FOR COMIC BOOK LADIES KNOWS NO BOUNDS! EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG AND BOUGHT MY 1ST WONDER WOMAN COMIC BOOK I HAVE BEEN HOOKED ON THE ADVENTURES OF ANY DAME WHO WEARS HIGH HEALS AND A BATHING SUIT TO FIGHT CRIME. I HAVE STARTED TO AMASS A COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS OF THE FEMALE FRIENDS AND FOES AT DC AND MARVEL COMICS. SAMPLED BELOW ARE BUT FOUR: SUPERGIRL, CRIMSON FOX, PHOTON AND THE ENCHANTRESS.
EXCELSIOR!!! ( if your a nerd you'll understand the usage of that word)

UNDER THE (double) C

I HAD THE IDEA FOR THIS PIECE WHEN I HAD THE SPEND THE NITE IN A TORONTO AIRPORT ON MY WAY BACK FROM LONDON! THERE WAS NO WHERE TO SLEEP OR SIT OR ANYTHING, SO I JUST SAT UP DOODLING ALL NITE LONG. NOTE TO CANADIAN AIRPORTS: GET SOME FREAKIN' BENCHES!

I WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY MUCH "LITTLE GIRL": THE COLOR PALETTE, HOW YOUNG GIRLS ALWAYS WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR PRINCESS OR A PONY OR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT, THE ANIMAL FRIENDS, THE HIGH FASHION FANTASY. YOU GET THE POINT. I HAD REAL FUN COLORING THIS ONE IN AS WELL. I LIKE NOT HOLDING BACK ON HOW LOUD AND TACKY YOU CAN MAKE THE COLORS ON AN IMAGE.

RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PICTURE FOR A LOOOOONG TIME. NOT THAT IT'S OVERLY COMPLICATED, JUST THAT I KEPT PUTTING IT OFF IN FAVOR OF OTHER PROJECTS. IT WAS DRAWN ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO AND JUST FINALLY COLORED TODAY. THIS IS THE 1st TIME I HAVE COLORED AN IMAGE IN PHOTOSHOP FULLY BY HAND WITHIN THE COMPUTER. I USUALLY MAP OUT THE COLORS BY HAND AND THEN SCAN THEM IN AND MESS WITH IT AND LAYER IT LATER.

NOW, I LOVE ME A YSL SAFARI SUIT AND I LOVE HIS BEADED AFRICAN COLLECTION AS WELL. SINCE HE HAS SO MANY AFRICAN INFLUENCED COLLECTIONS TO PULL FROM I DECIDED TO PIT THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER: BIG GAME HUNTER VS. CHIC AFRICAN NATIVE. I ADDED THE VINES AND BIRDS TO GIVE IT A DENSE, JUNGLE FEEL.
