Kirby birthday tribute: Barda

Today, well yesterday at this point, was Jack "King" Kirby's birthday. This is my small tribute to him and his character Big Barda, who got a lot of love on the nets today, and rightly so (she's a badass). These are just inks, I might go in and color them this weekend if I get the time, not too sure. Happy birthday to Kirby!

Daily sketch 082512 N7 Fury unmasked

Another daily sketch. Mass Effect 3 recently released a few human character additions to their multiplayer suite, and one of my favorites is the N7 Fury. She is, essentially, a witch. A space witch. Yes. Anyway, usually she wears a mask and a hood, but I thought I'd try to see what she looked like without them. This is...sort of what I envisioned. I'll get the look down better later, but for now it's almost 2 am and I should really be asleep. Let me know what you think!

Daily sketch 082312

Trying to do daily sketches. Today, my OC/comic book avatar, the Sentinel. Trying to get back into digital work, used a really rough brush for this to encourage working fast and loose (insert joke here).

Captain Omega pencils

These are penciled pages from a short comic story written by my friend Rick Leon and penciled by me. They are currently being inked/colored/lettered by other talented people. I'll be sure to share the final product when it gets posted on the net, hopefully sometime soon. But for now, here's my part in the project!

2012 is the freaking year

I'm going to try REALLY HARD to keep this blog updated this year. Let's see how long THAT lasts! Here's my first piece of the new year, Namora from Marvel Comics, specifically the Agents of Atlas series. Enjoy!

FF remix: Goliath

This is for a contest I'm doing over on Deviantart where you have to compose a new Fantastic 4, only with characters from entirely different universes. My heavy for the team is Goliath from Gargoyles. I'll post the others as I finish them.

Medieval Spider Woman Prelim

Inks for a medieval version of Spider Woman that I'm doing for a tournament over at Deviantart. Keep an eye on robthesentinel.deviantart.com for the final.

Gunrock progress shot

Workin on some Power Stone fanart! Hopefully done soon!

Drink and Draw June 9

Done at the original Drink n Draw social club in downtown LA last night. Fun stuff!

Jessica Rabbit preview

Just trying to figure out the rest of the background, but the figure is pretty much done.

Jessica Rabbit prelim inks

Some inks for a Jessica Rabbit battle at the battle artists group on Deviantart. Check my page in about a week for full color.

Heroine week at DSC

Apparently this week was awesome comic babe week for the Daily Sketch Challenge group I'm a part of on deviantart here. Here are the pieces I did. I was really excited for each of these, but I only really got what I wanted on the final two, Wonder Woman and Promethea. I'm going to switch back to digital for next weeks pieces I think, simply because I've had a craving to do more work with the Wacom. Enjoy!

Juri for battle-artists

Done for my...4th singles battle at the battle-artist group on deviantart. Juri Han, from Street Fighter 4, a game that I'm still sort of coming to terms with. Probably won't ever be totally satisfied with it (Much preferred the 2d work in SF3, and wasn't happy with some of the design choices in 4) but I do still have fun when I play it, which is only occasionally.

This pose could use some work, but I learned a lot doing the coloring, and I think it's a fun piece. I'm becoming a little bit fonder of the character.

Power Girl all zombified

Another inked image for the tournament at the Battle-Artist group. This was for the first round, I posted out of order here, haha. Check out the final colors here: http://robthesentinel.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d30iqqq

I'm the JUGGERNAUT!

So I'm in a group over at Deviantart called Battle-Artist. We're in the middle of a tournament right now and the theme for the second round was steampunk xmen characters. I decided to do the JUGGERNAUT. (Apparently I have to type his name in all caps for some reason) You can check out the final colored version here: http://battle-artist.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d31csdh

I'm going to try to update this blog daily from now on. I'll post my daily sketch challenge from deviantart if not something else that I whip up.

Save Tali!

A quick Mass Effect fanart page that I did in my oversized sketchbook (hence the crappy photograph instead of clean scan). My Shepard gettin PISSED at some mercs (or something) for hurting Tali. Hm, I wanted to have Garrus in here too, if I get a chance to do a clean version of this I'll put him in, providing more cover fire behind Shepard. Inked with micron and pitt pens.

Blast from the past

Hahaha, wow, ok so these are a few drawings from a high school sketchbook. They're of old versions of comic characters based on my friends, most of which you can see updated versions of on this blog. Funny stuff.

Bonnie inks

Some digital inks for a piece of Red Dead Redemption fanart. Bonnie Macfarlane. Will post some colors + thoughts on Bonnie soon.

Early Pencils

A penciled page for part of a story I'm trying to put together. I'm the dude with the jacket, and the girl in the dress is a friend of mine. Yes I'm making a comic that stars myself. Sort of. I'm in it, not the star, although that's still pretty douchey. Nonetheless! These pencils are really light and rough because I'm inking them myself. Were I penciling for another inker I'd have much more finished looking lines. Also, that second panel? Yeah just...just ignore that... it'll get re-done. I need to work on my backgrounds. Hard.

Apollyon sketches

Familiarizing myself with my friends character, Apollyon and his watchdog Pfle....Phtlogo.....Pter....Doggie.
