FIRST 2009 POST!!!!!

can't wait for this guy's books to get good again!

i'm currently reading the spanish reprint of the book from the mark waid run on...
quite a lenghty read, to tell you the truth, 500 pages per tome...
i'm on volume 5 of 7, that's a lot of wally!!
i gets a little repetitive as a collected read, with the recaps included on the early pages of every issue ... it'll give you a headache but i understand the function on the monthly format.
i'm a t the point when grant morrison and mark millar take over for a bit, its just a lot of fun.
i rarely hear mention to this run, i find it quite interesting to see both of them collaborate on such a rich character.
they make the crazy science really work and it provides a breeder for the waid's stuff.
i had already read from the geoff jones run till the one year later debacle

like i said... amazing...

keep working on this "straight forward" coloring method
no mixing!
it's kind of a tech-cheat; using the p-shop to separate as different color inks.


the original inks



*i've been catching up with the flash in last couple of months reading the infamous "1 year later" arc by wilson & demeo.
then the short guggenheim run, with the "irrelevantly relevant" issue 13 (all very forgettable to me, with almost a "filler" status)
and at last! the "all-flash" issue with those final pages by acuna ... OMG!!!

talk about rebirth! flash hasn't shown that kind of energy in a long time (even before the fastest man alive)
now we already have flash #231, and its even better!
i just wish the team held together longer... acuna is leaving soon
that's too bad! (the character deserves the blockbuster felling that he provided)
it'll still be worth reading.

hot hot coming through!
as promised here's the other one straight from the oven
(another one you may wanna see full size... lots textures for that tiny pic)

here r the pencils, once again, straight up, no ink involved!



i love ink and inking but its still at suuuuuuch a distance from my pencils or even what a do with a random marker or ball-point pen...
oh well! i outta keep at it ... what-cha-gonna-do!


*i just bought "THE GOON" in TPB's, the whole thing, and i gotta say ITS AWESOME!!!
i've been in love with powell ever since i first saw his work back when it started to hit
its right up my alley, but i just never got around buying it!
and what a waste of TIME my life has been since then till NOW!!
its beautiful artwork, hilarious writing and just a topnotch product
100% comic book excellence (i'm serious!)
if you like eisner, wrightson, kirby, wood, EZ, if you basically like comics = GET A HOLD OF IT !!!
ITS A TOTAL MUST!! (you may wanna avoid translations, as much as possible, lot of period chat, street-slang and funny german lingo going on)

62nd

its been a while since i post anything in color (actually, you gotta go all the way back to 21st post!!! wow!)
recently i saw the previews for middleton's issue of the outsiders and it looked soooo amazing i just had to pick it up again
unbelievable use of color this guy, amazing !!

*(the image is pretty dam grainy so click if you really wanna see it)

here r the pencils for it


... i guess the all-flash #1 cover had some influence too!

... got another flash in the oven.
out to tomorrow, ...so, check back!!!

42nd

here's a quick one!



i dont know much 'bout flash but there's plenty people that care lots 'bout him!
like my good friend dj sith and tom caters, whom i dont know (go listen around comics podcast to crack up with him!)





i guess that one with the hair is kid flash or some version of him i saw on the flash cartoon (from the 70s i guess, caught it on boomerang, i love boomerang!)

15th

my buddy maestro logan yelled out for some punishers
and sure enough! here they are!
id never drawn the guy before, he's pretty cool i guess tough looking guy!
i used to like mike zeck a bit back in the day and i looked at the punishers comics through him but never actually read a word... saw the movie though, and it sucked! (except for that wacky fight with the russian popeye dude, the one were they tear all the walls)






and heres a quick flash sketch for my main man dj sith he asked for it a while back (hope 2 give him a few more soon)

12th

SORRY FOR THE DELAY! (HAD A CRAZY WEEK AND ALL...)
HERE ARE SOME LARGER SKETCHES TO MAKE UP FOR IT!
