12IR - Production Notebook #2 - Antici... pation

Here are more examples of me 1) working fits and starts and 2) figuring out the Captain Britain homage panel (see my post from March 27, 2020). The third one was my first pass, focusing mostly on Matt's bulge, crop top, nips, etc but then re-framed to align with the Alan Davis version, blocking those things from the reader's view, which - if you...

(The New) 12-Inch Roommate #0001 - REDUX

I posted "#1" of the new strips last year, but re-did it to fit a different page format.

12IR - Star Wars Cosplay

During my quarantine, I've treated myself to a Star Wars marathon - re-watching all 11 movies and the first season of The Mandalorian in chronological order. It was quite a rollercoaster ride and during my bored times I doodled out this 12-Inch Roommate/Star Wars cosplay image on my iPad.

There are so many characters to choose from, I set...

Monthly Blog - "You're Going to Learn A lot from This"

I wake up at 4:50 AM, and go through my usual morning routine: go to the bathroom, wash my hands, gauge my swollen glands, take my temperature (96.8) and check my phone for messages, I then just stare at a character lineup for Jockstrap Academy that I recently drew. After completing a piece of work, I usually just stare it at for the ne...

12IR - Promo Piece - Color Test

2nd Pass on this drawing... this is the phase where I just stare at it for hours pointing out all the little fixes I should make to myself.

JA - Category is: Bulge on Bulge on Bulge

I recently restructured my reference files - it took a couple of months and felt a lot like procrastination and my new system is just as unwieldy BUT it all helped me produce the image above.

This is my current batch of character designs for some of the Jockstrap Academy cast. I put my original doodles for them aside and dug deep...

12IR - Production Notebook #1 - The World Loves an Homage

While planning my new 12-Inch Roommate comics I decided to include an homage to one of my favorite comic book panels, by one of my favorite comic book artists - one from an early Captain Britain by Alan Davis.

As a kid, I loved how Cap filled the door frame, his head just an inch or two above the moulding - so I...

WIP - 12 Inch Roommate Promo Piece

I had different intentions for my Patreon when I started again, but then life kept getting in the way and now we're all working from home and trying to keep our distance - so I figure it's a good time to work on projects, so expect more from me here in the next coming weeks - I am still pausing payments for the time being and will continue to do...

Switching Over...

I am having a deep moment of hardcore creative introspection as I try to throw myself into drawing digitally. My production computer died this Summer, the one that was connected to my scanner - and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to work on drawing directly into the computer - y'know, like the kids do these days.

I successfu...

This is the first Abel comic I've drawn digitally.

Sketchbook - (Mr. Cornhole) 12-Inch Roommate

The New 12-Inch Roommate will feature a lot of the old supporting cast, except for one: the landlord, Mr. Fropley. Fropley was loosely based on the two landlords in the classic sitcom Three's Company, Mr. Furley and Mr. Roper. I never liked his design and I didn't enjoy drawing him, which is why after 100 strips or so, i put hi...

Storyboard Thumbnails - (Jockstrap Academy)

First: I've paused billing for November 1st - because I've been real slow lately and I don't like messing with people's money. 

Second, I've been trying to experiment more with drawing digitally - I want to say this is because I recognize this is a skill I need to master but it's really because the computer I use for production died o...

Jockstrap Academy - Ruff Line Up

Once upon a time, I had this idea called Jockland - a rambling, unfocused excuse to draw muscle boys in tight shorts and bare midriffs - over time it has evolved into Jockstrap Academy - an animated  series. Animated series are really hard to make so who knows if it will ever get to the finish line, but the development is ...

12-Inch Roommate - Page 01 - WIP

Finally getting back into the 12-Inch Roommate reboot... I've been wringing my hands over it for a week and ultimately just had to remind myself that it's only getting done if I just do it. So here we are.

I plan on breaking the panel grid in these stories so I'm really trying to put some thought into the final page versus strip ...

This was based on a true story.

Monthly Blog - Horizontal

The one thing I didn’t factor into my day was a nap, which was stupid because I am a habitual napper - especially being homebound since the accident. After 3 weeks of bed rest and becoming physically exhausted by something as banal as bathing or washi...

Sketchbook - 12-Inch Roommate - Warmups

Finally getting back into writing and drawing - and after some down time I've found its helpful to start by just drawing fun sorta purposeless stuff. These are some of my favorite poses from the original 12-inch run but re-done with the new character designs.

More to come and I've also paused payments for the month until I get bac...

Recuperation Doodle

If you follow me on Instagram you’re probably aware I was in a minor accident and am currently recovering. Unfortunately, not the kind of recovery where I can sit up a draw all day - so my progress here has been slowed down substantially for a few weeks. However, it has given me some time to poke around on Procreate on my iPad as you can see f...
