Here's my illo for The Line It Is Drawn 137: Comic Book Characters in Classic Music Videos!

I chose a suggestion from Anthony O'Neal, which allowed me to bring Britney Spears into the world of Morning Glories. Will she survive the experience?

Hope y'all digs!

It was that time of the year again last month: March M.O.D.O.K. Madness over at The Line It Is Drawn!

I went with a suggestion from Sam Hurwitt to M.O.D.O.K.ize O.M.A.C. because Kevin Kho is one of my personal favorites among the New 52 creations over at DC Comics.

This one goes out to fellow Liner and art bro, Brendan Tobin, who hosts the annual March M.O.D.O.K. Madness. Check it out and enjoy!

Here's my illo for The Line It Is Drawn 131: The Great Comic Book Amalgamations of 2013!

Enter: Boo T. Licker

2013-02-22T00:34:00.000-08:00

Here's my illo for The Line It Is Drawn 124: A Punderful Tribute to Peter David.

I happened to choose a suggestion from one of our best and regular suggestion-givers, Zack Williams, because it CRACKed me up so much at first sight.

I imagine Boo T. Licker to be some evil, depraved, sexual offending clown ejected from the same circus Deadman performed in. He eventually ends up as a ghost who complicates and makes Boston's death an unliving hell.

I'll let the rest of youse fill in the blanks.

Peace.

Here are my character designs for The Line It Is Drawn 123: Post-Apocalyptic Comic Book Characters!

Being a HUGE Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra nut, I chose a suggestion from Starpilot Six calling for a "Post-LoK, Post-Apocalyptic concept for the next 'Avatar' incarnation."

My headspace was so immersed in the concept and characters, I decided to place all my focus on their designs and bits of their backstories. I imagine the world being like this...

The time of Avatar Korra was reaching an end. Korra accomplished much in her earlier years, but the exponential development of technology and the ubiquitous resentment against empowered benders outpaced her influence in her twilight years. Using such technology, non-benders launched a nuclear assault against nations of benders, which almost brought about the complete end of the world. In her final days, Korra averted earth's total annihilation.

Half the world sought an end to bending, but after gigantic, horrific creatures rose out of the hostile and toxic environment from the disaster, everyone desperately searched for hope to combat the kaiju. However, earth was so ravaged and weak that the Spirit of the Planet was only able to produce one bender from each nation after reclaiming the abilities from all other surviving benders, rendering them powerless. The future of the Avatar world rests on the last benders...

The new Avatar is an earth and metalbender. Born from a military family when there was an organized military and raised by his mother, he aspires to live like the hero his father was. He learned how to bend earth and metal from former earth and metalbenders, like his mother, in his guerilla group. He takes to using and bending chains attached to his belt in combat.

An orphaned and scarred firebender is left to fend for herself in the remnants of the Fire Nation. Despite being persecuted and scapegoated by other survivors, she maintains an upbeat and cheerful attitude to mask all the struggle she faces protecting those who fear and hate her from the kaiju. She uses explosives she cooks up to accomplish this feat.

A mysterious waterbender with white hair aimlessly roams the world alone after suffering the tragic loss of his fiancee and displacement of his tribe. He wields a unique and familiar sword from generations past.

A sheltered and protected airbender travels with former air nomads giving humanitarian aid to those in need.

The four benders need to band together to seek out the rumored existence of elemental spirits who manifested themselves in the physical world to help combat against the monstrous kaiju. Is this the end of the Avatar world or is there hope for a new beginning?

Can. You. Dig. It??

Peace.

NOW! Warriors

2013-01-14T18:35:00.000-08:00

Here's my Marvel NOW! cover for a New Warriors title I wish would drop. It's part of The Line It Is Drawn 121: Lesser Know Marvel NOW! Titles.

I love this team so much. One of the earliest and favorite superhero team books I was really into back in the day. At least the Nicieza and Bags run.

Since no New Warriors line-up is complete without a Nova, I added Sam Alexander into the mix. And since Sam and his ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN cohorts remind me of an animated New Warriors anyway, I added White Tiger and Power Man along for the ride. Of course, this Power Man is Victor Alvarez since Luke Cage would be too mature and popular for this team... as are Spider-man and Iron Fist. The three are a great fit and really put the "NOW!" in Marvel NOW!, yes?

Well, it makes sense to ME! ;]

The banner and "NOW!" logo are expertly reproduced by a fellow Liner, the super-generous and super-talented Bill Walko! Thanks, Bill!

Hope y'all digs this illo as much as I enjoyed puttin' it together!

Peace.

You Need Some Action

The Hostess Saga

2012-12-17T07:39:00.001-08:00

Here's my sequential illustration brought to you by The Line It Is Drawn 117: A Fond Farewell to Hostess! As a memorial to Hostess, I chose a suggestion, which allowed me to marry my former addiction (Powdered Donettes) to my new addiction (Saga).

I can't say enough amazing things about Saga. This is currently my favorite monthly read alongside CHEW. If I could only recommend 2 comic book titles for you to follow monthly, it would these 2. You're welcome in advance.

Peace.

AW YEAH LI'L BOYS!

Another Big Mike & mic? collabo!

This is an homage to Art Baltazar's TINY TITANS 43, which, in turn, is an homage to a YOUNG JUSTICE promo image. Love and inspiration are cyclical, y'all. Hope you digs this!

Peace.

Renegade Sex MachIrizarri

2012-11-09T14:33:00.000-08:00

A'ight... so this one went out to my boy, Daniel Irizarri, whose birfday it was recently.

Just some humble fanart of his character from his forthcoming creator-owned title Renegade Sex Machine. This is a total guess of what's underneath red's shirt... it could be machine parts and gears... but, since it's a dirty cochino drawing the fanart, I decided to focus on and have him give you some of the "S" of RSM. It's just how I roll. Leave me an opening, I go for it.

That's what she said.

Peace.

SHAZAM meets Captain Barbell in Marvel Family Tribute Week over at The Line It Is Drawn!

Instead of the cliche misunderstanding and ensuing battle, I prefer to think this is how a Filipino superhero would meet a non-Filipino superhero for the first time... by feeding him/her.

Because Filipinos are super-friendly like that. Try it. Befriend one today and ask what Billy's eating.

Peace.

Gotham Girls

Here's my illo of Black Bat & Spoiler looking for a new home in the DC Animated Universe, since... y'know... they're not welcome in the New 52.

Yeah... this piece comes off as a bit jaded.

This was done in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series over at The Line It Is Drawn. The DCAU rules my universe.

I used the Spoiler redesign by Dean Trippe because I love it to this day. It's what drew me to Project: Rooftop. Check out his thoughtful redesign HERE.

I made some adjustments to the designs of the other characters entertaining how their look woulda evolved if the Timmverse kept going. Fun!

Peace.

Booga booga booga...!

The Final Stand

2012-09-28T02:05:00.000-07:00

Here's my tribute to John Byrne's classic cover to X-MEN 137, but, this time, featuring Superman & Wonder Woman in JUSTICE LEAGUE 137.

This was intended to be a part of The Line It Is Drawn 106: Comic Book Cover Homages, but I came across tablet problems with it becoming unresponsive so it was delivered a bit late. You can find the ninja post where it was featured HERE.

Hope y'all digs!

Peace.
