Magic The Gathering...Gathering (Day 2 of 2)

I returned to Collector's Corner for the second day of the Magic tournament and a whole new batch of sketch cards.

We've got another sketch event happening at Coy's Comics next weekend, so see you then!

Princesses and Power Rangers

In preparation for Wednesday’s Sketch Day I did a few practice runs to make sure I could produce drawings in about ten minutes. I featured these sketches on my table so that people would see what kind of art I do as well as inspire their choices.

 The Fourth and Eleventh Doctor were
originally going to be a part of my Sci-Fi Father's Day Card

Deadliest Predators: T-1000 and T-Rex! 

I tried to lure in the family demographic with these doodles of the Power Rangers or Elsa and Olaf from “Frozen” (effectively finishing a project that I’d started back in January)

Strangely enough it was Dave Andres sitting right next to me who kept getting the Disney Princess requests. Maybe because I was the closest to the entrance he got the spill over from my line. 

Expressions and Underwear

Melodie the model poses in her underwear. 

I do like the expression I got to throw in has here on page two. Maybe next time I'll focus on faces.

Dancing

Sketches of a Dancer. Doing these drawings convinced me to buy some new markers.

Greeting Cards

Greeting cards I've drawn for my friends and family for the past few years.

INSIDE:

"Hope your birthday isn't a bust!"

A birthday card I drew for my brother this past month. I got real excited over the cheesy pun, and put it together really fast.

INSIDE:

"You can wait another year for your jetpack."

A card I drew for my dad's fiftieth birthday, inspired by the atomic age culture of the 1950s and 60s that he would have grown up with, and the promise of jet packs and rocketships. Includes references to Major Matt Mason, Forbidden Planet, Lost in Space and the art of Flash Gordon illustrator Al Williamson.

INSIDE:

"Party like its 25 Million B.C. !"

A birthday card I drew for my friend Bernadette Cartensen. The joke is that it was her 21st birthday and her initials are B.C. so that gave me an excuse to draw dinosaurs and watch old Ray Harryhausen movies for reference.

INSIDE:

"Choose Wisely. Happy Birthday."

A card I drew for my brother's birthday last year. Caricatures of the leads from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". My brother was born in the same month as "Last Crusade"'s original release and he doesn't always practice common sense, so I was trying to be fun as well as convey a heartfelt message.

INSIDE:

"You're my ray of sunshine!"

I drew this as a anniversary card, but I had a terrible cold at the time and was spending all my time resting on the couch watching episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Scooby-Doo", distorting my already weird sense of humor.

INSIDE:

"Hands off my candy! Happy Halloween."
