Here's the colored pinup for Patrick Coyle's excellent hard-boiled mummy-detective comic, "Bixby Grant".

Here's the Kickstarter link for those looking for a fantastic read:

Since I've been learning modeling, I thought I'd take a new pass on my robot characters from awhile back. This dude's name is "Battle Max". He's cuddly but tough.

Attempting to model them soon.

In any paranormal-related comic, ya gotta have "The Hatman". He actually plays a huge role in the 1st storyline (and he really creeps me out).

Raideen inks. Probably the last Super Robo stuff I'm doing for awhile.

Anyway, Goblins. Love these lil' dudes. In the "Fated" universe they have 2 sets of teeth; 1 for ripping and tearing and another for chomping.

Of course I had to add "The Beast of Bray Road" or "The Michigan Dogman" to my comic. Not sure if he'll be a character or a race but he's possibly my favorite cryptid.

Refining my super-robot designs. Here's Tetsujin-28 ("Gigantor" here in the States) again. Might try to hard-surface model one of these in Blender.

I've been in the mood to learn 3d; particularly hard surface modeling. Here's a render of my 1st attempt in Blender. I've learned a lot since I did this one so hopefully the next one will be better.

Hard to believe it's been 8 years today that I received the worst phone call of my life. My brother had passed away suddenly.

I don't post any work on January 5th but I do like to post this pic of him with Gaten Matarazzo whom he'd met randomly at some movie.

Hug your loved ones tight.

Of course the "Loveland Frogmen" make an appearance in my book. Go download it at www.fatedcomic.com or just "rt-click, save".

Thought a nice father/son hug between Omni-man and Invincible would be a fun drawing to ring in the New Year.

Some more "Gigantors/Tetsujin-28" designs. He was always my favorite (followed closely by "Gaiking")

I based this coloring page and race of creatures off of "The Astonishing Legends Podcast" episode on the subject. Had no idea at the time, "The Pied Piper" was supposedly based on an actual (and very creepy) event.

I LOVE classic 70's and 80's super robots and since I'm on this more technical drawing kick, I thought I'd draw my favorites, starting with Tetsujin-28 (Gigantor in the States).
