"There is no Dana. There is only Zuul!"

Ulala's Swingin' Report Show!

I absolutely love Space Channel 5! Probably one of the most fun and addictive games i have ever played. I think that one of the main reasons i always liked the game is because i like dance movies. While i'm not too big on musicals, dance movies have always caught my eye (especially since i can't dance a lick to save my life). The entire premise of the game seems like one big dance movie crossed with that old kid's game, SIMON. The music is catchy and jazzy and Ulala has to be one of the coolest video game heroines ever! I still get flack to this day for liking this series so much, but hey, you can't knock good game design ;-)

Silver Sable

The lovely Silver Sable.

*I promise that some NEW colored pieces are on the way soon ;-)*

Jenny

Bucky O' Hare was probably one of the most underrated cartoon series of the early 90's. Not only that, but it had a spectacular comic series that was drawn by the legendary Michael Golden! It's only fitting that i had to draw my favorite character of the series, The Aldebaran first mate of the Righteous Indignation, Jenny!

Azkadellia

Azkadellia from the Sci Fi Channel's miniseries, Tin Man. I was a big fan of this series when it aired a couple of years ago. Azkadellia was one hell of a villain!

The lost Adam Warlock

So i received an email today from someone stating that they had one of my sketch cards from last year's Marvel Masterpieces set! This particular card is of Adam Warlock. I will say one thing... it's really painful to look at my sketch cards now, because i absolutely had NO idea what the hell i was doing! It was my first time and i was really intimidated to be doing cards with such an awesome variety of artists who i have admired for years. Not only that, but didn't even know what tools to use, so it basically came down to just crappy pen and pencils. UGH! Thank God i have improved some since then and hopefully i'll get the chance to take a crack at some more actual sketch cards in the near future.

I know there are at least 20 more cards that i didn't post pictures of floating around somewhere out there. Maybe some more will turn up one of these days...

(Special thanks to Paul for emailing me this)

Bewitching!

Sketchcard madness!

More sketchcards! Sabretooth and Goliath!

Krondor Krew!

One of my sketches from the June Dr. Sketchy's event at Tatame Sake Lounge in Winter Park, FL is being used in the logo for Krondorkrew.com. Here's some info on these gnarly ninjas:

Krondor Krew is the worlds pre-eminent ninja hip-hop duo.

Since 2002,they have been perfecting their deadly art of lyrical ninjitsu, viciously slinging wicked ninja-based raps in every direction of South Florida, and winning over every audience they perform for. Shinobi and Masurao take their art form to high levels of visual and audio content. Each song is written with performance in mind, both emcees giving the immense amount of their energy to the stage show when performing. No audience has left a Krondor Krew performance unamazed.

Signed to EMPulse Records in June 2008, Krondor Krew have the tools, abilities, and ninja soldiers to take over any show, blast the system to full capacity, and leave the crowd cheering in excitement.

Dr. Sketchy's Orlando

An awesome artist, Ray Richardson (http://www.myspace.com/rayseeart), turned me on to a drink and draw event known as Dr. Sketchy's, right here in Orlando (well, technically Winter Park, Fl). It takes place at the Tatame Sake Lounge on the first Wednesday of every month. At each event, they have a live model who does a series of poses for the artists to draw from. This event was graced with the pressence of the beautiful Laila from Orlando Bellydance. At the end of the night, they have a contest to decide the best sketch of the night. As luck would have it, on my first night, i actually won. Here's my sketch:

I'm really getting into this whole Drink and Draw thing. My first experience with it was at the FX International this year. It's just an awe-inspiring experience to be sitting next to (or at least in the vicinity) of some of my heroes such as Sean "Cheeks" Galloway (who probably has to be THE nicest guy i have ever met. That man has a halo over him or something), Dan Panosisan, Jim Mahfood, Jim Cheung and Dave Johnson. I will say that i was humbled in about .03 seconds after seeing some of the stuff they were coming up with at the event. Just amazing and they did it with such ease!

If there is an event like this in your area, i encourage artists everywhere to go to it. It's such an awesome experience and its a sure fire way to get you out of any drawing funk that you have bene in. It surely did for me (hence all of the sketch cards recently).

"This IS ripping! I'm a Buzzsaw Girl!"

Finally! A color piece! It's Buzzsaw Girl from that old NES game, The Defenders of Dynatron City! I do remember that, years ago, it had a kickass animated special. The animation was pretty spectacular and could have made an awesome early 90's animated series. Ahh well.....

Divas of Comicdom

A trio of cards that i did during lunch time at work today: Mary Jane Watson, Emma Frost and Wonder Woman

Sketchcards.....again?!?!?!

Power Girl and Big Barda

Randomness!

More Sketch Cards!

Scarlett, Bishop and April O' Neil

Copic Madness!

More messing around with Copic Markers.

Whats fun about this is that I used to do marker sketches all the time before switching to completely digital. I used to focus mainly on Prismacolor markers, but i'm seeing now that Copic markers are the way to go.

Well here you go: Jem, The Comedian and Bravestarr!

Super Human Experiment

Check out the incredible work of Jesse Starr and the beautiful Amanda Stevens at:

www.superhumanexperiment.com

You won't be disappointed! I had a chance to witness this greatness at FX this year and it's just mind blowing!

New email address and random sketches from FX!

FX was a blast! A detailed update is coming soon, but here are a few sketches from the show (plus a few random extras). I'm still learning the whole Copic marker thing...

FYI, my new email address is BigChrisGallery@aol.com

Your wish...

...is her command! This darling genie was derived from an old Johnny Bravo cartoon that i saw years ago. I liked the design and decided to put my own little spin on her. Hope everyone digs it!

Sketchbook!

Well, here it is! The cover to my very first sketchbook! Hopefully, everything goes alright with the printing and that it turns out ok.

It's Rogue, Sugah!

Rogue, from the famous Jim Lee era of the X-Men. X-Men #1, which was drawn by Jim Lee, was the first mainstream comic that i ever picked up. It was the comic that got me totally into comics and it changed life. The dynamic characters and the amazing layouts by Lee inspired my style for years and got me into drawing the type of stuff that you see from me today!

Zatanna!

The Mistress of Magic herself!

Lucky Leyla!

Diana of Themyscira

After watching the Wonder Woman animated feature that came out a couple of weeks ago, i just HAD to do another drawing of Diana. The film was too phenomenal for words. Director Lauren Montgomery (who is one of the most amazing artists out there) and her team put together one of the greatest comic animated features ever. If you haven't checked it out, please go out and do so now!

Who watches the Silk Spectre?

Despite what a lot of people are saying, i actually thought the Watchmen movie was good. While i do have my gripes and nit picks about certain things, I fele that it is probably the best that we could possibly get when translating it to a 3 hour movie. I mean, look how detailed the book is! It's basically would be impossible to be able to adapt all of that and still manage to keep the average movie goers interest for an extended period of time.

"Whateva you say, Mistah J!"

FX International and Facebook!

Be sure to come out to the FX International at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando on April 17th-19th! It will be my first con ever in the creators area! I'll be selling sketchbooks, prints and the last remaining proofs to my Marvel Masterpieces cards from last year (trust me, they look waaaay better than the actual cards i did). Plus, they are signing guests like crazy for this thing. They got Leonard Nimoy for crying out loud! Leonard FREAKING Nimoy lol! Come on now, you know you want to go....

Head over to the site and check out all of the guests and events:

Total Drama Island

I have to admit that i'm a big fan of TDI. The vast variety of characters and how each one relates to a certain style/genre of people is what really intrigues me. Lindsay will be the first of many drawings i do relating to this wonderful series (well, hopefully).

Can't wait for Total Drama Action to start up here in the states!

Let there be chaos!

Eris, Goddess of Chaos from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Another colored sketch for my sketchbook that is due out next month for FX. I'm trying to incorporate a few more pieces from cartoons in it so that its just not bogged down with pin-ups and heroines. Maybe i'll throw in some characters from Total Drama Island or something....

Logos and Megacon

Here are some of the logos i used for T-shirts at Megacon this year. Let me just say that Megacon was a blast! So many cool costumes and good times meeting people i have only seen and conversed with online. It's making me get hyped up even more for FX next month.....and a little bit more nervous.....

X-23!

A drawing of the feral X-Men heroine and Wolverine clone, X-23. While i'm not too big on the whole "Let's do a female clone of a charcter type of thing", there is something about her that has always caught my eye and made me like her. Maybe because i was such a fan of X-Men: Evolution or maybe it's because her character is so different from Wolverine's. I don't know, but she quickly became one of my favorite comic characters!

This is actually the first drawing i've completed since turning 30 a few weeks ago. I've still "got it" in my old age. This is also one of the new pieces that i plan on using in my first sketchbook for FX International in April. The sketchbook will consist of a lot of my favorite pieces that i have done along with several new and unseen work that i have to show (or produce, in some cases. lol)

Fairies are among us!

Random Goodies!
