I have been messing with character designs and names and whatnot, not necessarily for any specific outcome, but just to feed my inner comics-nerd. So, in a confluence of my decades-long fan status and my burgeoning cartooning practice, here's the dealio.</p><p>I started with this image, from JLA #200 - this is the team I think of whenever someone says Justice League.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Never judge a book by it cover, or a barfly by her drink.</p><p>In any case, here are three studies of Betsy, completed last night at the SAW Starlight Studio.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This year, in honor of Isaac Newton's Birthday on December 25, I spent my studio time in December creating drawings for the <i><b>Twelve Days of Newton</b></i>. </p><p>As you look through these, it might be nice to know two things:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Newton had a Pomeranian dog named <b>Diamond</b>. Apocryphally, the story is that
Diamond accidentally set fire to twenty years' worth of
lab notes by upsetting a candle, a circumstance to which Newton
responded "<i>O Diamond, Diamond, thou little knowest the mischief thou hast done</i>." </li></ul>
<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>According to legend (once again) Newton had a cat named <b>Spithead</b>, and he is credited
with inventing the cat door for him. Newton cut a hole in his door and covered it
with a scrap of fabric so Spithead could go in and out without Newton
having his work on light interrupted. (BTW, <i>Spithead </i>is coastal place name in England, nothing to do with saliva.)<br /></li></ul><div class="comment-body mighty-wysiwyg-content fr-view wysiwyg-comment long">

A few of us in the SAW online cartooning community did not feel up to a 24-Hour Comics Day, so we had our own 8-Hour Comics Day. In the first four hours, I laid out the roughs for this strip and planned on finishing it that day. But as I started inking, I realized that to really capture an homage to Dick Calkins – his combination of sparse backgrounds, fussy detail, and weird hatching – I needed more time than that. So, I completed a whole ‘nother comic in the last four hours of the day, and gave myself time to really work on this one. I am still not sure just how successful it was, but it sure was fun.</i></blockquote>Have a great Spacegiving!<br /><p></p>Walaka of Earth 2http://www.blogger.com/profile/15937932225623126280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319014006079395786.post-6574299616607252192022-10-27T19:46:00.005-07:002022-11-01T20:37:32.050-07:00Pieces of eight<p>So,on Monday, I participated in <b>8-Hour Conics Day</b>, and abbreviated version of <b>24-Hour Comics Day</b> that some of us in the SAW community pulled together. I started the day doing eight pencil-rough pages for what I thought was a goofy story that I could complete in the session. But as I started inking, I realized I liked it too much and wanted to spend some time on it to get it right. I put it aside (it will be my November project) and did another quick 8-page zine in the second half of the day, just fun stuff.
