Tiny Batman

This was just a sketch for a larger, finished Batman piece I drew in December. It was done in ballpoint and dying marker. I don't mean some kind of special marker used to dye things, but a marker that was near death. The pencil is just there for scale.

Rosemary Rabbitified

Rosemary Morgan (Angela's mom in The Underburbs) learns the hard way not to help a witch with her homework.

The Case of the Missing Mitten

The lady friend and I had a nice February afternoon on the beach. Meg found a starfish but almost lost a mitten. A homemade mitten from her mom! But I found it like the dashing hero man that I am.

Heather Sanderson

She appears in Underburbs 16 as Hammer's personal assistant. She never showed up before, but everyone seems to know her besides poor, out-of-the-loop Winifred. And yeah, I snuck Winifred's transforming scroll into this sketch. Heather isn't wearing a Halloween costume of any kind, so the result woul...

Winifred poses

I sketched a dull pose on a page of the new issue, so I erased it and worked out these. I settled on the bottom right sketch, and still changed it up for the final. I tend to do a lot more erasing than I probably should because I just need to get something down on paper. I should make roughs like th...

Carrie Fernandez

Hey, anybody remember Castlevania 64? It's a very flawed game with a lot of missed opportunities, but it holds a special place in my heart. I mean, it's the only CV game I've played that's crawling with vampires. I think VAMP status should have been a different way to finish the game rather than a g...

Bel Brimston MK II

Jezebel "Bel" Brimston as she appears in issues 16-18. She's put on a little weight since issue 11, but that doesn't bother her. The boredom of not giving Winifred grief has been killing her, though.

Slightly Unhinged Winifred Pale

Here's the antagonist of The Underburbs... well, wait. Is she? Sure, she's trying to claim the human world for monsterkind, but she's so tragically bad at it. She even has another character who thrives on antagonizing her! Things are not always so black and white. But what is certain is that the fai...

Angela Morgan

Quick pencil sketch of The Underburbs' protagonist as she appears in issues 16-18. Ain't she cute?

Royal Gel

It's some kind of gooey slime queen!

Out to lunch

Sorry, Daily Doodle's kind of a dud today. Here is a rendition of my mental state.

Ms. DNA

Just a breakfast sketch of my lovely lady of nearly 20 years enjoying her coffee.

Death-Anne

Here's fan-favorite Death-Anne, who appeared in Underburbs #12-13. She needs to make a return someday. Maybe not a full issue, but I could see devoting a dozen or so pages in a trade paperback...

Winter Comes to Underborough

It looks like Angela and Winifred are having the same kind of weather I got in New England. Winifred asked Angela if she had any spells to make the winter more bearable. The answer to those kind of questions is always "well, sorta..." Just layer up, Winifred! Magic can't be the answer to everything!

The Baleful Bride

Nintendo Switch fever sets in once again as I draw Princess Peach in her wedding gown from the Super Mario Odyssey trailer.

The Initial Eleven

Well, it's been eleven days since the launch of my Patreon account. I apologize (like all confident artists do) if the offerings of tiers and goals are lacking in glitz thus far. I feel like starting a thing like this has been long overdue for me, but I also started it while trying to start another ...

Volume 4 concept

Today I have the gall to try to pump up my most doodly daily doodle yet by calling it "concept art." I was inspired at a work meeting to sketch out some ideas for the next Underburbs trade paperback. The four issues it will contain all revolve around the business side of Winifred Pale's bid for worl...

Solid George

Here's George Tumbleweed as he appears in Underburbs #16-18. He does what any young man would do if he found a roll of police tape: fashion a sneaking suit and tame a badger.

S.C.U. Shelley

More Underburbs 18 progress! I'm trying to complete a page per day. Here, Shelley decides to help out and gets deputized by the Sexy Cop Unit. She was unaware of the uniform requirements when she made this decision

SCU: Amber

Here's another panel of Underburbs #18 in progress. Those of you who have read Underburbs #17 were introduced to the Sexy Cop Unit (they call themselves that!). Amber here is their de facto leader, probably because she's the one wearing aviators. Despite their "sexy [place Halloween costume here]" a...

Liberal Arts Winifred

Those of you who follow my DeviantArt page know about Angela's Magic Lessons. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was many people's introduction to the Underburbs universe. It follows the main character Angela practicing magic and changing herself somehow. Sometimes it will lead to an illustrat...

Zelda, now with Pants

It's only four weeks until the release of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so I thought I'd do a quick warm-up sketch. This was maybe 5-10 minutes. I really need to start timing myself.

Lydia Deetz

A little break from the Underburbs-centric postings. I don't know how I reached 39 years of age without doing a sketch of Lydia from the Beetlejuice cartoon. Doing a color sketch helps make up for it a little. I know the palette isn't 100% accurate, but I was just using whatever markers were lying a...

Issue 18 begins!

Here's an inked panel from the new Underburbs! It's a rare glimpse of the Brimston family's home life.

Emily D'Ablo

Those of you who hung onto every word of dialogue in Underburbs #10-11 may recognize this name. Bel's attitude towards her may have suggested that she was a rival. Turns out she's pretty normal. Just another daughter of well-to-do devil parents. I wrestled with hairstyles, as you can tell from the ...

Mellie

Here's a sketch of a character in Underburbs #18 who appears from the waist up in only one frame of a flashback.

Fairy sketches

Here are some drawings for an ongoing project with DragonFang-X at DeviantArt.
