Robits

Along with the "Rockets, Robots, and Rayguns Show", I also had another show I was invited to partake in on first Friday July, over at Drink Philly, with my former classmates Traci, Millie, April, and Nerissa.

These where another batch of character designs done in Illustrator, a program I feel more and more confident in.

"SUPER ROBOT FUN TIME FRIENDS! (Collect them all Kids!)"

"Robits"



"Robot King BAAL"
(with Power Claws)
(If anybody read the comic I worked on, this one should be recognizable)

Robotique on CBR

Comic Book Resource also did a little blurb for Robotique.

I guess things are turning up Milhouse now

Issue #3 Preview

As per request, he's a sample page from Issue #3.
My favorite page out of the bunch.


Whats going on here? Is Pagliacci getting illegal (in 46 states) XXX VHS tapes from a haggard dude in a track outfit?
Or something more sinister? You're gonna have to wait and see.

Issue #3 Completed

Completed as of around 9:30pm.
Now to triple check the hell out of these, sit back, do some personal pieces for galleries until the 4th (and final) script hits me.

Robotique in the Philadelphia City Paper

More press coming in, now over at the Philadelphia City Paper

Very exciting stuff. More at Eleven!

Robotique on Broken Frontier

Broken Frontier dot com just wrote a little blurb for Carnivale de Robotique!
Check it out!

Also, the first issue is up over at Comixology and its FREE, though the next three will be on sale for a dollar.

Issue 3 is almost done, and then finally the grind for issue 4 will begin!

Issue #2 is complete

After a two and half months (The half due to me accidently using water soluble inks on 5 pages, and a terrible week long power outage that prevented me from doing much work), the art for Carnivale de Robotique Issue #2 is finally done. All that remains is the lettering, and that'll be it.
One of the good things that came out of the past few days, is that I found a sort of style of digital painting that I feel okay with, and will probably experiment more with when I get the chance.

Stay tuned for issue 3

Colored Preview

and Word to the wise: Always make sure the inks you're using aren't water soluble.

Issue #2 Preview

"You ain't seen nothing yet, kid."

(Slap some color & ink on this, and it's going to look awesome.)

Robotique and beyond

Some of you guys already know, but I've been working on a 2nd (and then a 3rd, and then a 4th) issue of "Carnivale de Robotique" for the past month and half.
That means new characters, new adventures, and same old shenanigans.

I'll get the ball rolling with the new antagonist character designs:

G. Q. Finster, the Robotnik inspired antagonist and ring leader of Festival Maximus


Manstrong, Festival Maximus' elastic strongman. Frankie says RELAX!


Peach, a talentless bimbo


And Taco the Unicorn, the bi-polar, rejected 'My Little Pony' show horse.

First Decade Post

Happy 2010 everyone!

The Carnivale de Robotique comic I worked on has apparently sold quite well. The writers (Johnny Zito & Tony Trov) sold all of their copies they had, and a few friends of mine have already picked up a few (Thanks to everyone who did! I'll sign those whenever I get the chance!)


And getting to see it on a shelf at Midtown Comics in NYC was pretty awesome.

Anyways, I'm posting two pieces (that transform to into one collective piece) that I've neglected to post here back when I made them. They were apart of a PSA article assignment, but at the time, I wasn't too happy with them. (I think it was because I was so burnt out from my Senior Thesis) but after looking at them again after all these months, I think theres a bit of humor to them to be found. I might put these on my webpage under the "doodles" section regardless.


(Granted, theres probably a few things off/wrong here, but I think the only thing I would change is the background colors)


(I had chosen to use the SEPTA buses from the 1950s-60s because I love the vehicle designs from that era, and the ones today look so ugly and beat up. And, yes, those are PBR cans flying all over the place.)

Beep Beep Boop *zrrrrrrt*

So as many of you might know, I recently got offered two jobs: a one-shot 22 page comic, and another short graphic novel (I think its somewheres about 80 pages), both about robots.
I just recently finished up my last freelance job with Columbia University doing page layouts and making graphs, and am now working on the one-shot, seeing as how I don't want the robot characters to trickle into each other while working on the two at the same time. (Mixing two people's creations together sometimes never works out for at least one party involved.)

Anyways, I'd figure some quick sketches of the cast of the robot carnival characters might tie you guys over for a bit!


Pagliacci


Wendy


Sandbag


Remington Thunder

And as a bonus, I remember telling some people that I owned the orginal Charles Barkley vs. Godzilla comic.
well, here's my proof!

Dubbed by many to be both the Worst, and Best comic story ever.
(Actually, I'm not sure how much that is true.)
