Polymorphous Perversity

Not much of a reason for this one other than finding the phrase funny-sounding. Stylistically, I was looking for a reason to ape R. Crumb and this seemed like a decent fit for that sort of exaggeration.

Fragile: A Silent Comic

The full comic is available online at THIS LINK courtesy of Risha Project. The idea for this comic's been in the ol' sketchbook for over a year now so a big thanks goes out to the guys at Risha for reaching out and suggesting a wordless comic. Below, is my favorite panel and an indicator of what the whole thing looks like:

Tales of the Inanely Mundane Presents

This was the product of a break taken while working on a comic. I started out drawing the mom character but ended up imagining it as a cover for a non existent story. Most of the text elements were drawn in with the intention of sounding as stupid as possible. Naturally, it turned out looking like something I'd probably enjoy reading...

Gigolo-Gen

This was a warm up for a long, long project ahead. It took a little longer than expected as a red pen was lying around. The initial idea was to draw a futuristic sex-robot as envisioned by a futurist but I ended up dropping the outright robotic elements while drawing it.

This drawing also looks better while listening to this.

Medusa

Medusa's generally described as a monster possessing a hideous face but it seems to me that if one were to look past that (without turning to stone) she'd probably come across as a woman with serious personal image and self esteem issues. I realize this is the flip-side of the feminist adoption of her image but it couldn't be easy knowing that anyone who looked at her would be turned to stone.

I wasn't necessarily trying to get any of that across in this drawing but it's an observation.

About Ebola

This post is primarily an attempt to bring attention to the About Ebola app, developed as a response to inform the public following the recent outbreaks of the virus.

You can download the app HERE and read up on the development process HERE (this link provides proper accreditation to everyone involved).

Vampire Moth

As I drew this, I had no idea that vampire moths actually exist. It occurred to me to look it up after finishing this drawing and they look nothing like this. If anything, they're more sinister looking...

Retro-Future-Murder

Some free time came up unexpectedly and I decided to use it wisely. I've been drawing most of my personal stuff on brown paper lately but something I had yet to try was the effect of colored markers on it. It had also been a while since I last drew an action scene...

Update: Never been too fond of the original colors so here's a version digitally recolored a year later:

Apocalyptic Cardboard Box

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a running theme, but here's another post featuring a funny hat. The idea with this drawing was to create a context in which it would be acceptable to use a cardboard box as one.

Broken Sword

This started out as a very loose sketch with no clear intention of what to draw. The only mandate I placed upon myself was to try and suggest everything using shadows and forms rather than outlines. At some point, it seemed like a good idea to use a shadow to suggest an opponent's presence, and that led to the broken sword and blood.

A Floating Head, Reptile Woman and Her Primate Stalker

Not much of a narrative to this post other than that I recently spent a lot of time in airports and on trains, and opted for the most laborious drawing technique available to pass the time. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out so I tried to get the scans to look as close as possible to what they looked like on paper. They're uploaded at a decent resolution so click on them for a better look:

Night Walk

This post builds on the last one. I'm keeping the details scarce as there's no clear plan for this project at the time of this writing but it's a comic I'm hoping to get to draw sometime in the very near future. The look's pretty close to what I have in mind but the character and the story have changed some more since then. With every draft I write, I end up filtering out whatever happy things remain and at this point, it doesn't feel like the kind of story that could sustain a yellow tint at all times. I do like this color scheme though, so here it is posted.
