Athena Voltaire and the Wings of Death!

2012-01-18T11:51:00.000-08:00

Wow. This year marks a decade since Athena Voltaire originally launched as a webcomic. So it's only fitting to celebrate that auspicious anniversary with a return to digital!

Athena Voltaire and the Wings of Death is an 8-page story for Four Star Studios' Double Feature app.

If you're not familiar with Double Feature (or the studio), it's the brainchild of Mike Norton, Tim Seeley, Sean Dove and Josh Emmons (the four stars of 4 Star Studios). Every month, they release a digital comic with two 8-page co-features for only 99¢. Genres range from Action, Horror, Science-Fiction and Fantasy. This month's release is Action, issue #3.

The iPad app allows you to do more than just read the comic. You can strip away the word balloons, the color, and the inks—allowing you to see each stage of the comic's production. Additionally, you get a cool director's commentary that gives insight into the process, the characters, and other stuff!

Not an iPad owner? No prob. The geniuses at 4 Star Studios release every issue of Double Feature in PDF format, too!

It's a great bargain and 100% creator-owned!

Commission: Marshall Law

2012-01-11T11:24:00.000-08:00

This one isn't part of my current "Buy an 11x17 commission, get a free page" sale...I drew it a few days before. Marshall Law is a character I was familiar with, but hadn't read. The costuming presented a challenge to balance all of the details with some fun leather textures inked loosely with a brush. Overall, a very enjoyable piece to draw!

9x12, ink on bristol board.

Sketchbook Stuff

2011-11-28T10:19:00.000-08:00

I haven't updated the blog in a while, so I thought I'd share a sketchbook image (I just scanned this the other day as part of my portfolio submission to return to school). It's drawn from life, after having the opportunity to sit in on a terrific life drawing workshop in Evanston last summer.

I never get tired of drawing from life.

Meet my Art Dealer: The Interior Pages!

2011-10-20T07:30:00.000-07:00

I'm thrilled to announce that The Interior Pages is my exclusive art dealer! The Interior Pages is the brainchild of longtime comic fan (and supporter of the arts!), Jason Palmer.

Growing up, Jason read comic books as a way to learn how to read. Years later in middle school, he met a kid who handed him a Punisher comic book and forever changed his life. After college, when money was easier to come by, Jason began buying comics again, transitioning to original comic book art and commissions. This quickly turned into a full fledged hobby. After years of collecting art and making contacts in the comic art world, Jason fell backwards into the art dealing world by helping his friend Rahsan Ekedal with his sales. After a year, he added to his stable by bringing in Joe Eisma. From there, The Interior Pages were born. Jason is married and has two kids and currently lives a few miles north of Seattle Wa.

Jason currently has over 150 pages of my original art, pinups, and covers up for sale, including all four issues of Athena Voltaire: Flight of the Falcon, both stories from the Complete Webcomics (Terror in Tibet and Wrath from the Tomb), the 2007 Athena Voltaire FCBD story, the Athena part of the Athena Voltaire/Black Coat crossover one-shot, my ComicTwart pieces, and a few unpublished pin-ups.

Check out all of the other fantastic artists that Jason represents:

And once you're done checking their work out, drop by The Interior Pages! Comic art makes a great Christmas gift! ;)

Commission: Athena Voltaire and Wolverine revisited

2011-10-13T10:47:00.000-07:00

Today's commission is actually an inked version of a piece I did a few years back. I've uploaded the pencils for the sake of comparison.

I really enjoyed revisiting the piece. I spotted some things that I used to do in my pencils and really want to get back to. Additionally, I saw a few cringeworthy things that I was eager to fix.

I'm a much looser, confident inker these days and was thrilled to slap a juicier line on this than I would have four years ago.

Which one do you like better?!

Commission: Athena Voltaire

2011-09-29T07:22:00.000-07:00

Another commission of my gal, Athena Voltaire. Equally gratifying is that this helps to pay off my dog's surgery bill.

Commission: Rocketeer to the Rescue

2011-08-30T07:35:00.000-07:00

I've said it a hundred of times, and I'll say it a hundred more times…I never get tired of drawing the Rocketeer.

Here's the description for today's commission:

"Here's what I was thinking, a scene where Rocketeer comes crashing in through a window (skylight? etc) while Betty is tied up or chained to a wall (like girls in pulp books tended to be), maybe in torn clothing, however you want to have fun with it."

This one presented a challenge in that it's tough to fit in both figures, and the setting, AND create a sense of dynamicism. My solution was to put the point of view on one of the characters. Obviously, having the hero big is best, but the compositions I was came up with him in the foreground were shots over Cliff's shoulder or behind him, which makes for a great shot of the jetpack—but not a good shot of the Rocketeer.

Putting Betty in the foreground gave us a dynamic composition, and a front view of the Rocketeer—even if he was smaller. I tried to punch him up by adding some dynamic blacks and having all of the breaking glass radiating around him. Hopefully, this creates a focus on him, even if he's not the large figure.

I usually stay away from any implication of sex/bondage in commissions, but the "bound Betty" in this piece works for two reasons: (1) as the commissioner says, it reflects the pulps of the era, and (2) it's a winking acknowledgment of Betty Page's actual background (which Dave Stevens acknowledged throughout the series).

Commission: Lady Shiva versus Karate Kid

2011-08-29T08:42:00.001-07:00

I haven't stopped doing commissions—I just had to clear some assignments out before finishing more of these. Look for more commissions, plus some other new work on this blog in the coming weeks!

Today's commission features the Legion of Superheroes' Karate Kid sparring with Lady Shiva. The description was " These are two of the best martial artists of all time so I think it would be a great fight. The only thing I ask is that neither character is shown as clearly winning."

This presented a really fun challenge: I didn't want either character to have their backs to us, and I wanted neither in the foreground, overshadowing the other. My compositional instincts led me to "stacking" the characters, with Shiva leaping/kicking, while Karate Kid punches/ducks. Both characters are untouched, but thwarted—evenly matched.

I added in the graphic of the yin/yang symbol to drive home the concept of balance.

Commission: The Rocketeer (AGAIN!!)

2011-08-05T08:19:00.000-07:00

Seriously. I've done more commissions of the Rocketeer than any other character besides Athena Voltaire.

And it's always fun!

I'm not thrilled with the scan on this one: some of the subtleties of the clouds are lost (the darks are too dark, and the medium tones are blown out), but the original came out pretty well. Inks and grey marker on 11x17 bristol board.

Post SDCC Pre-Wizard World Commissions, and Dog Surgery

2011-08-04T09:11:00.001-07:00

Most people that follow me on Twitter or Facebook have heard this, so I apologize for repeating myself.

About a half hour after my flight landed in San Diego for Comic-Con a couple of weeks back, I got a call from my dog's veterinarian. Buddy, my pooch, needed emergency surgery due to a twisted stomach and bloat. I was devastated to hear that the procedure had a 30–50% mortality rate.

Thankfully, he made it through in good health (YAY!) and is on the road to recovery (see photos: his stitches and him in a T-shirt to prevent chewing on the stitches).

The surgery and health care cost almost $2,000. The long and short of it is that I'll be doing commissions for the forseeable future. If you're interested, here are the details:

PRICING

$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

Commission: Bikini Babe

2011-07-11T07:27:00.000-07:00

Today's commission had a simple description, "under the vague heading of 'pretty girl in bikini' and leaving it to the artist at that point." With that in mind, I knew I wanted to have some fun with a retro pin-up approach.

Commission: Batgirl

2011-07-08T13:59:00.000-07:00

More than any other character, I always equate the Barbra Gordon Batgirl with fun. No idea why.

I tried to give this piece a playful quality that reflected the sense of fun I see in my head.

Fallen Angel

2011-05-05T08:03:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to contribute a pin-up to an upcoming Fallen Angel collection. J.K. Woodward, the incredible artist on the series, has set the bar high, so it was a fun challenge.

Shown here are my original rough, a couple of work-in-progress camera phone shots while I was inking, the finished inks and the colors, courtesy of my ever-amazing collaborator, Jason Millet.

Commission: Huntress and Black Canary

2011-03-17T13:47:00.000-07:00

This one's a companion piece to another Black Canary and Huntress piece I did a while back.

Commissioned drawing Yoda this is

2011-03-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

C2E2 is tomorrow!

Come see me in Artist Alley, Booth #D4. I'm going to give it a whirl and do more commissions at the show: penciled/toned bust/head shots for $25 and figures (some full, some cropped), inked for $40.

Commission: Ron Swanson

2011-03-15T11:33:00.001-07:00

I love the TV show Parks and Recreation, particularly the character of Ron Swanson. That's why I was psyched to get a commission for Ron Swanson, illustrating one square on his Pyramid of Greatness. To see the clip, in the context of the show, go here.

There's just a few more days until C2E2 in Chicago, but I'm still accepting commission preorders for the show. I'm not sure if I'll be doing more than penciled headshots at the show, so please consider lining up a commission before the show. If you're an art collector that prefers to have commissions done in your themed sketchbook, you can mail me your sketchbook and I'll be glad to bring it to the show.

PRICING

$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

$80 for an inked single character piece on 11 x 17. Again, for additional figures, email me for a quote. And again, $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

Commission: Juggernaut and Friend

2011-03-09T10:20:00.000-08:00

Today's commission features Marvel super villain The Juggernaut and...the guy who commissioned the piece!

I'm always unsure how to handle both extreme exaggeration (as in the case of Juggernaut) and humor (the situation), but I'm relatively happy with the results.

2011-03-02T07:42:00.000-08:00

I've drawn the Rocketeer for more commissions than any other character, with the exception of my own creation, Athena Voltaire. And it never gets old.

I would love, love, love to draw a Rocketeer comic adventure one day.

Commission: The Escapist

2011-03-01T06:33:00.000-08:00

I loved Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, so, of course, I was excited when I was commissioned to draw Joe Kavalier's hero "doing something awesome."

Contained in a water trap, chained, with a bomb triggered to explode qualifies, I hope...

Commission: Duck Dodgers Green Lantern

2011-02-24T08:00:00.000-08:00

The fun thing with commissions is to step outside your comfort zone. This piece is an example of such an event.

Plus, it was a lot of fun!

Commission: Charlie Chan Comics

2011-02-23T10:01:00.000-08:00

Another fun commission today. This time, it's a cover to Charlie Chan Comics (the original series being launched by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby). The commissioner specifically asked for both Charlie Chan and Number One Son, as well as some type/logo elements.

The other commission I did the same day (Daffy Duck Duck Dodgers as Green Lantern, which you'll see tomorrow) really demonstrates the variety of fun topics that people collect, in terms of sketches and original art!

New in my Etsy Shop: Clara De Noche

2011-02-17T13:28:00.000-08:00

Another new original art offering in my Etsy shop...this time around it's Clara De Noche, from the Spanish comic strip of the same name by Carlos Trillo, Eduardo Maicas and Jordi Bernet. It was one of our themes over at Comic Twart.

The original art is available for $55 over at Etsy (along with other goodies by me).

Some Hawaiian Dick Pages

2011-02-16T06:48:00.000-08:00

I'm in the process of working on a story for B. Clay Moore's Hawaiian Dick. If you're unfamiliar with the book, check it out here. It's one of my favorite titles going and contributing to the series has been a blast for me.

Commission: Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth!

2011-02-15T09:19:00.000-08:00

Kamandi is hands-down my favorite of Jack Kirby's solo works. For this commission, a 7 x 10 sketchbook image, I wanted to draw a scene, but had to reconcile the smaller image space. I opted for a riff on Kirby's brilliant to cover issue #1. I had originally penciled the sunken Statue of Liberty in the background before realizing that my horizon line was way off! Ulp!

Thankfully, I hadn't inked it yet!

Retro Nick Fury Commission

2011-02-10T09:33:00.000-08:00

It's Nick Fury in the swingin' 60's, baby! Yeah!

Open for Commissions/Preorder for C2E2

2011-02-09T11:25:00.000-08:00

Hey, all! I'm actively seeking commissions right now! A few things have fallen through and I need to keep paying bills...

Additionally, I'm accepting preorders for C2E2 in Chicago.

San Diego, Here I Come

2010-07-20T12:34:00.000-07:00

It's not supposed to be this hectic. I planned and prepped for this show like never before. "No way," I said to myself, "will I return home to a house that's a mess and a studio with stacks and piles of artwork, display materials and miscellaneous debris littered everywhere.

Unforeseen circumstances.

The washer died (laundry at mom's...what am I, a college student?). Books were delayed. Time collapsed in on itself.

Okay, so the house isn't 100% clean. Upstairs looks great, but the studio looks like a war zone.

On the bright side, The Art of Athena Voltaire hardcovers are being shipped to my hotel and I'm not hauling my suitcase filled with 60+ pounds of artwork,* so I'm traveling light.

The copies of the ashcan of Cipher arrived today (see picture). Plus, I have a few other pitches I'll be schlepping around the show to publishers and anyone interested in ancillary rights. And samples, lots of sample packs for potential illo gigs.

For more info on Cipher and The Art of AV, look here. Other stuff I'll have for sale: both Athena Voltaire trade paperbacks, all the single issues of Athena Voltaire to date, copies of the issue of Domino Lady I drew for Monstone, and all 3 of my previously published sketchbooks.

Additionally, I plan on doing inked grayscale figures for con sketches ($40). Depending on how they turn out and how long they take me, I may revert back to just doing the $25 toned pencil headshots. Come early!

And I'll be on a panel, Kickstart Your Comic because we've already established what a whore I am. Also on the panel will be Kody Chamberlain, Pat Loika, and Steve Earnhart. Details here.

If you're coming to the show, stop by and see me. I'll be at Small Press, table M-14 (Atomic Tiki Studio) next to my pals Jim and Mike Heffron of Lawdog Comics.

* No more amusement from the random guy who seems to be on every flight, offering to take my suitcase from the overhead compartment, and herniating himself. "It's really heavy," I warn...

Commission: The White Queen

2010-07-08T11:40:00.000-07:00

New Commission: Zatanna

2010-07-07T09:42:00.000-07:00

Here's the first of the Comic-Con preorders, Zatanna. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a good greyscale scan with my new scanner—the original isn't as spotty as this scan looks. I'm also posting the inks because it's clearer to see the linework.

My Father's Day Card

2010-06-27T07:53:00.000-07:00

I meant to post this earlier.

Last week, my son unleashed the most awesome Father's Day card in the history of the holiday.

Now, I understand. You think this is just me, his dad, being hyperbolic and exaggerating how cool it was. Nope.

A tiki mask with glowing glitter eyes ("They're atomic, Dad!")...and inside, two cyborg robot monkeys (again, more glitter glue) and some kind of artifact (with atomic symbols in the upper corners).

Me? I'm a hack. This kid? The real deal.

Tribute to Al Williamson (pencils)

2010-06-21T10:09:00.000-07:00

As mentioned elsewhere, my favorite of Al's work was his 13-year collaboration with Archie Goodwin on Secret Agent Corrigan. Over the course of their run, Al and Archie took Phil Corrigan on a bunch of exciting adventures, frequently alternating espionage stories with homages to various stories that had inspired them, including The Lost World, The Prisoner of Zenda, and even Flash Gordon.

In short, everything that Al loved was thrown into Secret Agent Corrigan.

Looking at the progression of the strip, Phil Corrigan started off looking very much like he did when Alex Raymond launched the strip, but as time passed, Phil, like Han Solo after him, developed more and more of a resemblance to Al. You can attribute this to Al using himself as a model, but not everyone who Al posed for ended up looking like him.

I think that Al was going on the adventure himself, like when we played as kids.

For this piece, I had originally planned an elaborate montage spotlighting a few of my favorite Secret Agent Corrigan adventures, but most of my Corrigan photocopies have been lost or are stored somewhere in my studio. Thankfully, the upcoming reprint series from IDW will eliminate my need to find those copies.

Here are the pencils to my Al Williamson Twart (the inks were posted today at ComicTwart).

Al Williamson

2010-06-14T05:34:00.000-07:00

My hero has died.

Al Williamson was probably the most important artist in my pantheon. I met him back in 1992 when a friend of mine was sharing studio space with him. Professional, affable, humble, and charming, he taught me about how to conduct myself as a professional over the course of a couple of days hanging out in the studio.

Yeah, it was that pivotal of a meeting.

I was most taken by the fact that this guy was just a couple of years younger than my dad, yet here I was relating to him about science fiction, art, illustration, comics, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Comics and adventure fiction had worked their magic on him and he truly seemed like a young, vibrant guy.

My artwork at the time was bad—truly awful—yet he took the time to go over it with me, spending far more time than was justified by the level of craft in the work.

I came into Al's work by way of his work, with Archie Goodwin, on the Star Wars daily strip. Lush settings with dynamic figure work—and those layouts! Look at the way the man composed a Sunday page...stunning, elegant storytelling at it's best. His sense of action wasn't Kirby dynamics; it felt more like a glorious action-movie punch. When an Al Williamson hero threw a punch, you FELT it.

I later gravitated to his E.C. work, particularly his collaborations with Roy Krenkel and Frank Frazetta.

However, it's his work on Secret Agent Corrigan (again with Archie Goodwin) that became my eventual all-time favorite of his work. Al's using more photo reference on this stuff, and it boasts a slicker line (you can really see the influence of John Prentice, who Al assisted on Rip Kirby, especially in the first few years of the strip), but it's just so damn perfect. I'm eagerly awaiting IDW's release of these books.

If you're curious about Al's work—possibly, you're only familiar with his latter day inking for Marvel Comics, check out the following books:

Creepy Archives, volume 1. Dark Horse. The first issue of Creepy contained one of my favorite Williamson/Goodwin collaborations, The Success Story. Based on an actual guy...but you can judge for yourself which parts are fiction.

Al Williamson's Flash Gordon: A Vision of the Heroic by Mark Schultz. Flesh Publishing knocked it out of the park with this collection. Buy this. Buy it now. Perfection.

X-9: Secret Agent Corrigan. IDW Publishing is adding Al and Archie's seminal work to their Library of American Comics. The first volume releases in July.

Al Williamson Archives volume 1. Flesk Publications, the people who brought us the awesome Flash Gordon volume will be releasing the first of a series of Williamson sketchbooks in July. Buy this.

Star Wars deluxe hardcover slipcase edition, published by Russ Cochran. Beautiful b/w reproduction of Al and Archie's strip work in gorgeous oversized volumes. (sadly, out-of-print)

The Art of Al Williamson by James van Hise. Some great stories about Al and the rest of the Fleagle Gang (the nickname of Al and his E.C. artist pals) and wonderful art and reference photos of Al and company. (also out-of-print)

Al Williamson Adventures. Published by Insight Studios, this features a bunch of Al's Warren work, and some other lost gems. The frontispiece, a Star Wars illustration, is actually from the Game Designers' Workshop RPG magazine Challenge—I commissioned it from Al in my days as an art director. (possibly out-of-print)

Volumes to be avoided: Anything by Pure Imagination (the had a few Al Williamson Reader volumes with AWFUL reproduction). Ditto for the Al Williamson Sketchbook from Vanguard from 10 years ago—weak reproduction and awful graphic design. Save your money for the good stuff from Flesk and IDW—and the Russ Cochran books, or the Van Hise book.

So long, Al. I hope you and the other Fleagle Gang members that preceded you (Roy, Wally and Frank) are banging out a story with lizards, swashbucklers, and forgotten cities as I type this.

Kickstarted!

2010-05-25T17:06:00.000-07:00

Wow! We did it! Not only did we meet our $7,000 Kickstarter goal, we blew right past it and hit $10,450.

I’m stunned, flattered, humbled, gobsmacked, and just plain moved by your generosity and support.

My sincerest thanks to all of you who pledged to the project. I’ll be starting on a batch of drawings soon, I guess! ;)

I’m kind of stunned right now, so I’m still wrapping my brain around what you have helped me with on this. I’m sure I’ll write more after all of this has sunk in.

Thanks!
