Vintage Sketch Dump

I was going through my hard drive looking at old drawings and sketches and these were some of my faves.

Trying one of those NSFW/SFW version images like all the kids do these days...

Question Mark...?

Hi. I still exist. 

I'm keeping payments paused for obvious reasons and plan to be back around and posting new comics in a few weeks. Until then I guess I'll try to post unfinished sketches as often as possible?

Best Looks

This is one of the only things I have drawn in the last few weeks. Work has been busy and it's about to get busier - building a new office takes a lot out of you - that instead of drawing before and after hours I've been more likely to just sit with my dog and watch "Suicide Squad".

12-Inch Roommate - Page 13

*12-Inch Roommate is only available through my Patreon feed.

FYI - things are about to pick up at work for a few weeks so I have paused payments on this Patreon for the time being.

12-Inch - Pg 13 - Another WIP

I feel like page 13 is taking me twice as long as usual? I blame work - I've been super distracted lately by the day job and I'm letting myself give all my available time for personal work and self care to it. Also, I've been experimenting with using clipping masks to color and the learning curve...

Foundational Crap

I try to avoid perfectionism and redoing old work but I am obsessed with consistent character design - I blame my animation background.

Now. Are my character designs consistent across the board? - No and that's because I've made a choice to just barrel ahead on projects and figur...

Stuff I'm Trying - a comic WIP

I'm trying some new shit with word bubbles for the next few pages - going for something that feels a little more organic but not so hand drawn that I have to learn how to draw bubbles by hand in Illustrator.

I'll also be sketching out a few pages at once before putting final linework on a...

Patron Sketch - Comet Guy

Apparently, I'm not the only person who liked Comet Guy from Darkwing Duck? In typical post-modern fashion I decided to remake him in the image of all the fascist killer Supermans out there right now: Homelander, Omni Man, Superian, that kid with the cowl and the eyes...

12" - Pg 13/14 - Thumbnails

Next few pages introduces a new character (fanfare) and some comic mayhem (hopefully). 

12-Inch Roommate - Page 12

*12-Inch Roommate is only available through my Patreon feed.

Do I care too much about color? It probably takes me as long if not longer to color than it does to thumbnail, sketch and draw an entire page. I usually sit down in the mornings and color for about an hour and then just l...

Sketchbook - Last Week

Sketching from reference while on the 3 million calls that crawl by each day... 

His name is Wiley

His name is Wiley and he's a former sidekick turned thug for hire. He's illegally squatting with his boyfriend Carlo on Fortune Lane and working undercover for a public figure who supplies him an illegal performance enhancing drug that increases his physical abilities. He's about 5'8", wears pret...

12" WIP - Part 2

Ext. Roommate's Apartment

I love a sitcom. I love a laugh track. I love a 3 camera set up. I love an establishing shot. 

My highest personal achievement over the 15 years I drew Abel Boddy was drawing an establishing shot of the apartment building and using that shit over and over and over.

So when starti...

12" WIP - Pg12

The original 12-inch Roommate strips lacked a coherent storyline. It started as just random dom-sub scribbles: big cock fucks little guy. Done. A lot of the time I would just draw the images and then figure out the dialogue later. I did this less and less as the strip went on and I started trying...

"LOLZ"

We're laughing, we're smiling, we're here for a good time...

12-Inch Roommate - Chapter One/Part One

Part one of chapter one of my new 12-Inch book is here. 

I saw someone else on Patreon doing the Dropbox download thing and thought I'd gi...

12-Inch - Page 11 WIP

Got all the way through drawing this one and realized the last three panels need to be re-drawn and re-written. So... here's what the first 3 will look like.

"Just Sit TF Down and Draw..."

In the last year, I've taken two storyboard classes - both were really informative and really good but I didn't really do the work in either of them. I chalked it up to "It's hard to do homework when you have a day job", "My new puppy is a real distraction" - pretty much any excuse that I could c...

Patron Sketch - Jens Defries

This took much longer than expected: a sketch for one of my Patrons of gaymer Jens Defries. Check him out on IG at @jensdefries.

If I haven't reached out to you about a sketch, I will soon.

Reminders

My dog stares at me a lot and when he does i think he wants something - which he  usually does. Having the dog has been a great way to remind myself to stick to a routine, because every couple of hours something I could be neglecting will shit on the floor.

As  the world continu...

In Reference to: Nate

Purged more reference this week, primarily for the character of Nate in Jockstrap Academy.

Matt of 12-Inch Roommate was originally created for Jockstrap Academy, he was a parody of a High School bully who ran roughshod over anyone and was the house tormentor of th...

"Slaps-Dick" - a comic WIP (3/20/21)

In the spirit of classic sitcoms, one of my goals with the new 12-Inch comics was slapstick. I played with this a little bit in the original comics but I wanted to take it to a higher level. However, I underestimated how difficult it would be for me to achieve my goal visually right out the gate ...

In Reference to: Cannen

In my continued effort to purge reference (also procrastinate), I was looking at the stuff I had collected for Cannen, Jockstrap Academy's bullish loudmouth. 

Cannen was inspired by a character of the same name from the 1986 B-movie, Wimps. As a kid, I used to pay spe...

In Reference to: Chad

I recently had to remind myself to stop collecting "reference". I can't scroll through Instagram without screengrabbing 5 images for later use when I am "drawing". I have enough already that I've barely used and honestly, how many pictures of half naked guys does one person need. No one on their ...
