Demon Hunter Kain: Wendigo Concept Art

First off, Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year.

Next, behold the Wendigo. The Wendigo is a monster who comes from the coldest place. Its body is composed of mud and ice. A cannibal, it will devour anything in its path, including another Wendigo. Its mouth is lined with jagged teeth and it is magic, able to change form or possess people at will.

This image is the creature in its final form. I plan to have this creature appear in one of the Demon Hunter Kain story arcs.

Finally I'd like to give a special thanks to Lynne Yoshii for the use of her Cintiq (I have got to get me one of those!). Thanks Lynne!!!

Demon Hunter Kain: Nicole LaCroix Concept Art

Nicole LaCroix has been trained as a Demon Hunter since she was able to walk. She meets Kain and Zandalee later in the series and at first is unimpressed by the pair. Later, as she witnesses Kain in action, her impressions about him begin to change as do her feelings. In the case of Zandalee however her impression has only gotten worse. Nicole considers Zandalee to be a nuisance and a liability, meanwhile Zandalee considers Nicole to be the greatest thing since Wonder Woman.

I always envisioned Nicole as one of those girls that other girls and older women outwardly liked, yet inwardly loathed. She has the confidence, the attitude, the youth, the soft, firm and curvy body that both men and women would kill for, she's an A student, athletic, etc. She's pretty much perfect, or so it seems.

As with my other designs these are not etched in stone.

Feeling Sketchy Pt. 11 - Sketch Pad Sketches

So Lynne gave me a sketch pad that she wasn't using and I've been trying to draw in it everyday. I'm not making much progress on the "Do-A-Sketch-A-Day" front, but I'm sketching when I can. Here are a few that I did so far.

Josh Olson Will Not Read Your Fucking Script

And with good reason.

He swears like a sailor, but this is nonetheless sage advice to anyone thinking of asking a creative professional of their passing acquaintance to give their work "a quick look."

The Great Comics Buyer's Guide Cover Contest

I got an email about this a while back. It's obviously of no use to me (unless you think there's a market for a book called "Bob the Living Triangle"), but the more artistically inclined ought to be intrigued. The basic deal is, draw a cover with your original character and submit it to the contest, and you just might make the cover of Comics Buyer's Guide, the longest-running publication about comics in the country (maybe the world, I dunno). Big fat details are here.

Have at it, geeks.
