Formera
|
Taming the Beast
|
|||
 |
Darian and Keisha are following their map across the land of Formera. |  |
We had a big tornado scare yesterday and my work had to evacuate everyone to the ground floor. While down there waiting to see if a tornado would hit the city, I came up with this drawing. I’m fascinated by tornados, although I never want to live through one. | |

The Siren Calls
|
Perfect Catch
|
|||
 |
...and yet another sailor plummets to his doom. |  |
Inspired to draw this after hearing a lecture by Tony DiTerlizzi (The Spiderwick Chronicles) and how he created all the fairies and sprites for his books. | |

Jesus Hates Dinosaurs
|
|
Curious Shadows
|
||
 |
Does it get any cooler than the son of God fighting a T-Rex? I don’t think so. Also I kinda like the metaphoric and philosophical meanings behind the idea of Jesus fighting Dinosaurs. Inspired by the comic book series “Jesus Hates Zombies.” |  |
Very Curious Indeed... | |
|
Formera Book 2 Front Cover
|
|
Formera Book 2 Back Cover
|
||
 |
This is going to be the cover art for Formera Book 2. As usual there’s space at the top for the title and other info, as well as a place for the AlternaComics logo. |  |
This is the backing to the upcoming 2nd book of Formera. Yeah... it’s a little empty isn’t it? That’s cuz this is where the summary, ISBN number, website address, etc are going to be crammed, so I am forced to make room for them. | |
|
Keisha
|
|
California Ban
|
||
 |
Keisha and her giant spear. |  |
Writing laws to take rights AWAY from people due to religious beliefs or sexual orientation is grossly unconstitutional and disgusting. | |
|
X-Mas 08
|
Random Story
|
|||
 |
I am thinking about using this for our x-mas card this year. But I dunno if it’s in bad taste... I mean, MOST of my X-mas cards are a little unsettling, but I dunno if people will “get” this joke fast enough to find it funny. |  |
Another insight into the inner workings of Darian’s mind. I’ve been working so hard on this second book. I need little intervals like this to relieve the stress. | |
|
Traveling Formera
|
Anime Nights
|
|||
 |
I’ve got Formera on the brain I guess... |  |
Every Saturday for 3 years from 6 to 12pm I ran the Anime club at my college. I dedicated my free time to printing pamphlet, hanging posters, and cleaning up the messes left over. This is what I got for all of that dedication... | |
|
Comic Con Banner
|
Eat that pencil running like a dog!
|
|||
 |
This is the finished banner for Formera. It’s going to be 36x88 inches tall (just slightly smaller than the size of a door) which is, without a doubt, the LARGEST image I have ever worked on. I think I crashed my computer 3 or 4 times just trying to color this! |  |
This is a 3 page short story about my roommate in college. It’s the story I tell about him the most often because it was, by far, one of the strangest incidents I’ve encountered with him. The way in which his brain worked was very unique compared to yours or mine. Why only 9 pencils instead of 10? | |
|
What Friends Are For
|
The Midnight Mystery
|
|||
 |
When I couldn’t sleep in my room, I made do with whatever I could get. Which unfortunately was the stairwell. Going from living on your own to living with 4 other people in one dorm was pretty shocking. Thank goodness for friends. |  |
Not a very pleasant first-time-on-your-own experience. The girl, several years later, apologized to me for keeping me awake those many nights with their antics. | |

The manga Artist
|
The Dirt Artist
|
|||
 |
Rule #1: NEVER say in front of an auditorium full of art students, all of who are working hard to get passing grades in figure drawing and observation, that perspective doesn’t apply to you because you draw Manga... cuz that’s BS... |  |
I’ve never stopped drawing. Even as a kid I remember distinctly drawing large pictures in the sand of Mario, Link, Indiana Jones, etc. I can’t tell you how often this happened, and how much delight kids got out of destroying my innocent drawings. | |
|
9/11
|
|
With Time To Spare
|
||
 |
I have a theory that everyone who lived through 9/11 can remember exactly where they were when they heard the news. I think for a split second in my groggy state I actually thought my roommate meant that aliens had descended upon earth and were attacking. |  |
My roommate in my second year of college was amazing. He create that sculpture within the hour or so I had left, using only chopsticks, glue, and sculpey clay. | |
|
The Search Continues
|
|
5th Grade
|
||
 |
One of the many reasons why I dislike D&D. It’s not so much the game itself, as it is the people who play it. Sigh... (based on an actual experience) |  |
Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened if I had said “yes.” | |

Red's "Your Decision" Comic
|
|||
 |
This is drawn from a comic I made in Scott McCloud’s Comic Workshop back in College. He gave everyone the same idea, and we all made our own versions of it in comic form. It’s a fun exercise. Also, comics without words are instantly universal. |  |
Help Little Red Riding Hood make it safely back home! Follow the arrows to choose your own path! Be careful, because some paths lead to DEATH! | |

Run Away
|
|||
 |
"Oni wa soto... fuku wa uchi" is a ritual incantation which means "demon outside the house, luck inside" and is typically used during Makemaki (a bean throwing ceremony intended to ward off demons) which would explain why Sam and Atea are throwing beans (yes those are beans) at Alex. |  |

|
Pencil Pirate
|
West VS East
|
|||
 |
I had to photoshop the image slightly, but just to remove something that wasn’t suppose to be there. Otherwise this is all done in-camera. That is a real pencil she’s holding and she’s really standing up on the paper and everything! |  |
This is dedicated to anyone who, like me, has gotten tired of the Anime fan-base and wish younger people could stop and appreciate great classical animation (like Disney before they fired everyone). And to the Anime fans who might find this offensive... man... it’s just a cartoon. | |

Merlin Katamari
|
|
Chibi Catwoman
|
||
 |
My cat Merlin eyes a Katamari Ball being rolled up. This katamari can actually pick things up as it’s filled with magnets. My girlfriend and I crocheted this together, although she did most of it. She also made little prince and Ichigo figures out of sculpty clay. |  |
I’ve been trying to draw Cat Woman for several months now, and every attempt has ended in failure. So instead of trying to draw her accurately to the comics, I decided to go in the opposite direction. | |
|
Gotta Catch Them All...
|
|
Obama Man
|
||
 |
I would have had more detail in the background, but this image crashed my computer at least 6 times during the making of it and it’s almost over a gigabyte in size. I am NEVER doing anything this crazy ever again. |  |
Originally it was going to be Superman ripping his shirt open to reveal a “I support Obama” T-shirt underneath instead of the “S.” But then my girlfriend suggested that it be Obama himself doing the action. | |

I dunno what possessed me to draw this today, but while at work I began drawing Harry Potter and his friends. All I can say is thank god for Cell Phones, because I was able to google images of them, while I was on my break, for reference! |  |

|
Bone
|
|
Roxanne
|

Inspired from one of my absolute favorite comic books: “Bone.” Bone and Phoney Bone’s poses are loosely inspired by ones in the books, but they were much easier to draw than the Rat Creature. |  |
