Toronto Comiccon

Sketches I made while I was in Toronto last weekend for the Toronto comiccon

Showtune

Galactic Commando

A pretty nifty looking fellow IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Rhino Jockey

It's how I imagine I'd look if I were a cartoon character... and also rode a rhinoceros.

Imaginary People I'd Like to Meet

Civil War Fruit Pig, Girl, and Mystery Frog

Above is a pig. I was taking a page out of the book of an artist Ross showed me ages ago.... whose name I cannot remember. So I drew a fruit hat on the pig. Then I thought "Hey, he'd look wicked awesome in a cape." And so, a cape was drawn. Then I thought "Hey, cutlasses go really well with capes!" and so on, etc etc. What resulted is a pig that looks like he's a general of some sort in the civil war and is for some reason also wearing a fruit hat.

Below is a girl I drew. Then I drew that frog next to her... though I'm not sure why. I think I was just drawing without really thinking about what I was drawing and halfway through decided on a frog. He's not really done, but he looked way too pleasant to leave out. That's a nice way of saying I was too lazy to edit him out in photoshop.

Dinosaurs and Wood Nymphs But Not at the Same Time

Just some Dinosaurs and wood nymphs.... More stuff from dinner break at work. The dinosaurs are just dinosaurs, T-Rex and Triceratops. The wood nymphs are slightly more original I suppose. There's just something novel about a race of little creatures that wear little kilts and head-dresses made from leaves.

Jordie and Mitch

I've been doing some more drawings of Jordie, the world's strongest 8 year old lately as I try and figure out what exactly it is I'm going to do with him. I ended up sketching out this guy here, his best buddy/coach Mitch.

Di

These are just some rejected character designs I did a while back for a recurring fictitious character in a university paper here in Ottawa (The Fulcrum). The column was called Dear Di, and it was a sex advice column. I found the old designs again and realized that hey, they're actually pretty okay. Figured I'd put them here.

Dragonball

I got in the mood for sketching fanart, so I put these guys together at work. I loved Dragonball. The original one anyway, back before everyone could fly and blow up planets. The one where they didn't spend half the episode yelling and powering up.

Otaku

This is an illustration I did to go along with an article I wrote for Ottawa University's campus newspaper 'The Fulcrum'. The article was about otaku sub-culture and why anime and manga have had such great success worldwide. In keeping with the article's theme, it only seemed logical to draw three of the most recognizable faces in anime. Astro Boy, Totoro and Pikachu.

Toy Soldiers

Just something I dashed off while eating dinner at work today... I thought they were pretty cool.

Persistance: The ruff stuff

These are just a few of the rougher drawings from my student film called 'Persistance'

Bunny Wunny Designs

Today I finally decided to just get on with it and put one of my student films online. To couple with that, I thought people might be interested in seeing the designs from it so here are the rough designs and final character builds.

The film itself can be seen here:

Bunyan n' Blue

Here is my finished rendition of Paul Bunyan, now complete with his bovine sidekick named Blue.

Paul Bunyan (In progress)

I thought I'd make another picture for my blog and I'm working on one of Paul Bunyan and his ox named Blue. As you can see, Blue has yet to be added, but Paul Bunyan's there in his boots and flannel, ready for some wood chopping action.

Robot Rock

this is a picture I drew for a friend back home in Ottawa while I was living in Vancouver. I hadn;t posted it on the internet originally because it was intended to be a gift and the internet sort of makes it seem less special since I'm giving it to everybody instead of just the person I drew it for, but I decided to just post it anyway.

Matt Murdock

I've honestly always been a big fan of Daredevil, so much so that I could almost enjoy the steaming pile of cinematic feces that was the Daredevil movie (almost...... almost...............). Anyways, I've been disappointed with his general unpopularity due to his new association with Ben Affleck and decided to draw him. I'm not sure how that's supposed to help with the Ben Affleck problem, but you never know.

Robin

I hadn't drawn any super heroes for a while... and that seemed wrong. So on a whim, I decided to draw Batman's under appreciated boy-toy sidekick Robin. Photoshop colouring's a little rushed but it came out okay.

Character Designs

This is a page I put together for portfolio with a whole bunch of my character designs on it. My personal favourites are the koala in the top right and the two drawings of the girl in the sweater near the bottom right.
