It's finally finished! Tattoo design for my buddy David.

Been working on this thing for quite a while... This is a tattoo design that my friend David asked me to do for him. It's a design in memory of his father William who passed away a couple years ago.

I'm really happy with the results... and glad to finally be finished with it, and happy to have given the design to him. Once it's inked around his arm (it'll be a full forearm sleeve) I'll post photos, but it may be a while!


The final design that will wrap around the arm (the compass meets in the back of the arm). I'm sure I'll do more obsessive little tweaks, but it's 90% done. 

Details of the tattoo's different areas.

The "compass" design, with the 4 initials for the 4 members of the family (William, Valerie, Karen, and David). 

Closer detail of the female angel. 

Closer detail of the male angel. 

Closer detail of the bottom area. 

Inside the top halo is an excerpt from David's excellent song "The End", written for his father. 

The tattoo design- original sketch.

The original sketch. I had to simplify quite a bit... 

Closer detail of the female angel (sketch). 

More Spidey villians in the cartoony style... 

Sketches of a sample I wanted to do... The trial of Sabertooth! And of course he gets loose and shreds everyone in the courthouse. 

Sketches of Doc Ock from back in 2003... these turned into a Marvel sample, that year. I like drawing Doc Ock as a fat, angry piece of shit. 

Spidey.. now with more THOOM! 

This one's for Dev... the Rhino's biggest fan! 

An old Hellboy fan drawing for Mike Mignola... that I presented to him at a convention... in 1996! Ten years ago.. damn.  

At one point I actually DID try to make Juggernaut look cool... you know what's REALLY cool? Finishing a drawing. Not that I'd know. 

OK OK I'm finally updating! Quit bugging me, Memo!

Just posting good ol-fashioned super-hero sketches.


Old-school Colossus 

Batman 

Wolverine 

Sabertooth 

Manga Jordan?!? 

HOLY fuckin shit! Too funny....

It's an inside joke I guess... My evil pug Oscar has been messing with my myspace account, apparently. Too funny... Jokes from Augie!

Gobby

UPDATE- started colors on my GGoblin sketch... don't think I'll finish this one but thought I'd post the attempt, at least... bleh.



Since the Spider-Man movie screwed the pooch so completely regarding this villian, I thought it would be cool to do it up right and give him some of the coolness and scariness he deserves....

GREEN GOBLIN!

Initial sketch below, but more final work on the way soon, so check back often!

And more Joker coolness

Colored Joker from Augie, based on my earlier sketch! We decided to jam on a Joker piece a couple weeks back and I'm just now getting it up on the blog (sorry Aug)! Very nice work indeed.

I've also moved my sketch up from a previous post, so the sketch and the color can be viewed together....

Just some sketchiz of characters I like.

From that one TV show that is maybe gaining popularity. (I was practicing drawing regular people, so I thought I'd model them after characters I dig, so they'd have a bit more personality.)
