comics update

Hey guys! I've been busy with classes and completely forgot to update. I have 2 new comics pages!

This was done completely with brush, except for the lettering. I think it turned out pretty good!

New site and such

Hey guys! I have made a shiny new website! thenoirguy.com. That will be my portfolio site from now on, while this will still be my blog.  I'm switching to Wordpress basically because they have better gallery settings(namely, they HAVE gallery settings), but I will keep posting random updates on things here! Random things like this portrait of Dr. Cox I just did:

You can feel him saying "no".

I'm getting more into shading these days. Also up now on Sketched Screenings is a list of things I want to see in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man game.

Now that I think of it, using webbing to play Practical jokes on criminals would probably #14. I mean, he's a teenager, and juvenile in general, why shouldn't you be able to trip thugs or web their butts to chairs?

And if you're looking for more reviewy stuff from SKetched Screenings, I also recently reviewed Dark Shadows!

Also also, here's this random illustration I did to apply for an illustration job(I don't think I got it by the way).

More to come soon!

spider rabbit

Random stuff I have done that I am now showing you:

An animated page turn for Brother Rabbit! Because it's going to be an effed up children's storybook.  Because I am awesome like that. (Click for movement if it's not moving already)

A recent illustration from my review of Ultimate Spider-man on Sketched Screenings. Because I know you guys were dying to know if it was any good or not. Anyways, this came out really good. Except for his crotch, which is not as exciting as a spider-crotch should be.

Last of the 30 characters

Ok, so I've been out of commission for awhile. First it was the holidays, the I was sick...but here's some stuff to tide you guys over.

I pretty much failed on the 30 characters challenge. Maybe one of these days I can shotgun like 20 characters. I mean I did a 24 page comic in a day, I should be able to do a handful of characters, right? Anyways, here's the latest one:

Mustache Robot!

Spidermen

Hey, you remember this sketch of Skinny Spidey, right?

 Well, I've been working on a few different versions over the last week...

Tuesday surprise update

Aha! I didn't do an update last week, so I'm doing an update today! Short update. Also, I have a review and sketch for Attack the Block over at Sketched Screenings!

 More Skinny Spidey! I'm actually working on a vectorized version of this. Stay tuned!

More sketches!

I did more sketches. Because I love you.

This guy is bored of being a sketch.

 Random action poses. This guy wants to throw a rock at you.

Scarlet skinny Spidey! The urbanist Spidey of them all! Because he wears a hoodie.

Special Friday post!

Oh man! A post that's not on Friday! What is this I don't even!  Anyways, check out these funky fresh sketches starting with more Skinny Spidey!

I love Skinny Spidey. He's my favorite kind of Spidey! Screw that overly muscley movie version, I want the agile swingin' cartoonish skinny version! Maybe that's why I've always liked Spider-Man out of all the superheroes.  He was a scrawny little teenager, and even after he gets his powers he's still probably the scrawniest superhero. But it's ok because he uses his scrawny ass and agility to effortlessly evade attacks and swing through the streets!

batman and friends

So this is what has become the weekly sketchdump.

After finishing reading Batman:Year One, I was like, "Screw you paper! I'ma draw batman on you!" And so I did. It's not the hero paper deserves, but the hero paper needs. More sketches after the jump!

crocs and reviews

So I forgot to do an update last week.  Boo on me.  But that's also because I haven't had the time to do some col sketches and then share them. But hey! Sketches anew! And links! So many Links you don't even know!

 First off is this random sketch of Batgirl and Killer Croc. It's weird, there are so many superheroes I adore, but when I want to sketch some, I draw a big blank.  Anyways, I've been trying to stretch my cartoonized superhero muscles, so I came up with this. Croc has an irregular head which gave me some trouble, and it took me a bit to give a batgirl a dynamic pose with some good flow, but I think I finally got it down.

spidey sketches

So I've been practicing with my markers like I swore to myself I would and did some spiderman sketches! It's a really weird feeling, I rarely ever do fan art.  Even as a kid I had this thing about not wanting to copy other people's work.  It's weird having to look up reference and wondering if your style is going to work with the character.  I must do more if it!  I think the last time I sketched spidey was in college.

Looking Back

You guys! I just found all these old drawings from when I was a kid, and I need to show them to you. You think I make some crazy shit now?! Look at this stuff!

Birthday Splat

Seriously, sure he's the unholy child of Satan, but what's he going to do with suicide? That's definately one of those gifts that's fun for five minutes, and then you go back to playing with real toys.

ALso, I do really want the new spiderman game.

sickman

Yea, not feeling so great.

But in other news, did you hear about the campaign to get Donald Glover to play Spider-Man? It's pretty awesome. You should join. He's much better than those 5 other guys.
