My contribution to the Megaman "Boss Battle" 25th Anniversary show!

I’m a MASSIVE fan of Batman: The Animated Series (and Bruce Timm in general) and really dug when they gave the show a re-design in the later episodes.  Scarecrow had alway been pretty dopey, even in the early run of the show, but when they gave him that creepy puritan-corpse revamp I remember being pretty impressed/spooked.  That show to me is still the gold standard for any Batman adaptation.  While I really liked some of the designs for the recent Arkham Asylum/City video games they (at least in my opinion) don’t really hold up as well as those simple and straight to the point Timm designs.

Character Line-up for a pulpy/sci-fi adventure set in the “Timm-verse” a buddy and I were batting around for fun a few years ago..

Just some in-progress pencils for a "Scarecrow" themed illustration.

Fiddling around with a Lone Ranger thumbnail, I really dig the bird-on-head design of Tonto for the new movie but definitely prefer the old school sleek Ranger get-up.

Looks like we won’t get a chance to see Judge Death on screen anytime soon with Dredd 3D bombing over the weekend…….

Quick doodle of the main character from Keith Giffen’s brilliant/ruthless parody of the silliness that was the 90’s comic industry.

progress......

Thumbnail detail for a short comic story I'm trying to finally finish.

Off to see DKR....

A few character designs for a children's book from many many moons ago.

Frame 1 of a short lil animation of my old "spider" character I'm working on for fun.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to design an album cover for my buddy Mike's kickass band "The Business End" recently and as I've always wanted to take a crack at one it was nothing but a blast.  I was given a nutty description of what the band wanted (including "A Grim Reaper made of ice cream and sweets  being chased by a group of angry people wearing “Jesus Goggles" along with cameos by his dog Betty and Killface from Frisky Dingo) which initially had me stumped.  I roughed out a dirty sketch first to see if I could even make it work and, convinced I could come up with something at least fun, banged out the finished cover.  Even managed to work in a cameo of Eddie (the second most interesting man in the world) and his trusty bottle of Jack Daniels.  Hopefully did an ounce of justice to an incredible album.

A couple of sketchbook doodles.

Na Na Na Na.........

Sunday afternoon doodle.

A wasp character design from another old game.

Was asked to help come up with some 70's spy character designs and all I managed to get was a quick head sketch down..(sorry Granty:) Looking at some nice Cory Walker character designs at the time while trying to add a bit of "tinker, tailor".

This was an initial background for a goofy "fish"-themed facebook game from a few years ago that unfortunately never saw the light of day.

My wife's been bugging me to draw her so I'm sketching her out as a road-warrioress.

Sketch of a Peruvian-ish dooder.

Another detail from previously mentioned large illustration.

Gort!

Baddy from an side project involving "intergalactic cage fighting with a snazzy pulp spin!" a buddy and I have been batting around for a good bit. Hopefully see the light of day in some form or another in the near future.

Character detail from a much larger in-progress illustration.
