"Why yes, that wallpaper is just lovely."

This was another request picture, one that I totally screwed up with the coloring. lol. Too dark and inconvenient, I know. Oh well, I enjoyed coloring Talia best.

Presenting Heir to the Damned...Damian al Ghul

Can't help it. Love the royal brat. XD Especially when Fabian Nicieza writes him. *cackles* Such a riot...(for those that don't know...this is reportedly, Batman and Talia's son)

Anyhoo, here's a few sketches I've done of him. Again, another Before and After...


This is another collection of sketches I drew beginning last year to two months later. Starting with the very anime-ish version to the final more realistic style. Still pretty anime-ish, but not as much methinks. I couldnt' decide on an age for him either. He looks like he could be 8 or 13. XD;; But in the end I had fun drawing him as a little kid.

Big picture btw. These sketches were done over the past year on MangaStudio (hence why they're pixelated in some parts...I didn't ink them so they were still in a sketch layer when I turned this into a jpeg.) Looks like I'm fond of young baby-faced Damian afterall. Eh, I'll post my other sketches where he looks older later on. These were a lot of fun. They're still very anime-ish in style, but I did try to put in a bit more details so they weren't too flat like the previous pictures above. The last one I did on here was screaming Damian this week. LOL, I had fun drawing his mouth. XD

Wonder if we'll be seeing him after Batman RIP storyline...perhaps we'll finally find out who he really is (batman's son or not). *shrugs* Eh, he was still entertaining for the while. XD

The Young Lady Cain...(ie. Batgirl Cass)

Just a few sketches of my favorite female character...Cassandra Cain, aka batgirl III.
These are the Before and After stages of my trying to adapt a more realistic style as opposed to my anime style.

This one was done last year around fall. Just me practicing various expressions and hairstyles. I sketched them out at work with a ball point pen. As you can see most of it is pretty inconsistent and still rather anime-ish.

These were done two to three months later. Haven't really drawn her much since then. In the Outsiders, her hair was a pixie haircut like the top right-hand one. But in her miniseries, she's gone back to the MOP of hair she had when she first got her book. Hm...I just realized something. I haven't seen any artist draw Cass smiling since OYL. (and no her drug-induced Dragon Lady sneer does not count...) Then again, she hasn't been given much reason to smile either... :(

Currently working on something that features her. Hopefully, I do her some justice.

What is the average age of a comic book artist?

I just found out that Rafael Albuquerque is 26 years old. For those that don't know, he's the artist of Blue Beetle (and even drew half of the Robin/Spoiler one-shot).

Yeah, I just found his Deviantart page...

Too bad I can't speak portuguese..

Man, I'm behind! Time to work more and get better FAST!

I loathe redundacy...

But I love progress...and the chance to organize my sketches without altering older sites. So here we go!

Misty shall be first.



Yes, I know she's not a simple sketch, but I wanted a colorful beginning. :)
