Mister Rogers

STEVE Rogers, that is.
Here's in-progress pencils for
an "Ultimate Captain America" drawring
for a most excellent friend's most excellent nephew.

...NURBS!

Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines.
That's all I can think of.

Progressive Resistance

Been absent for a while--
here's an attempt at getting
more rough stuff posted on a reg'lr basis.
I'll take this fellow all the way to full color...

Remembering Del...

New stuff, in rough thumbnails:
the beginning of a Del Close anecdote.
John Ostrander shared this story with me,
and I'll keep pecking away at it until it's
at least in animatic form.

...Ruh-Roh!

Been offline for a while--I've just wrapped up work on a "Scooby-Doo"
direct-to-DVD movie for Warner Bros, and here are a few pages of initial roughs,
with finishes to come.
It's been surprisingly fun & challenging, drawing the Scooby Gang...
Iwao Takamoto's original 1969 character designs are deceptively simple.

..Audition Knight, part one

Something lost has now been found;
a series of initial sketches for my
first "Batman Beyond" audition,
when the first season was airing on the Kids' WB--
it got dissected (constructively!)
by series director Dan Riba,
and I auditioned twice more before landing the gig.
Still, Dan liked the energetics of the initial attempt.

...Audition Knight, part deux

...Audition Knight, part trois

...SMACK

Haven't posted anything new for too long; here's a phone-sketch for the moment.
When in doubt, draw a human body doing something dynamic...one of my favorite
human-figure resources of all time is Mas Oyama's hardcover "THIS IS KARATE",
circa 1976 or so.
