Not much progress today on the PUMMEL stuff, gotta use the last few hours before I go to sleep to get some serious drawing done (as opposed to the not-so-serious drawing I just did in the last few minutes !). I always like to do a warmup with the sketch group topics and one of the topics was any of the main characters from Battle Chasers, the (in)famous series from Joe Mad back around `99 or so that was delayed a lot, and then never really finished. I dug the series back then, but needed some Google Images help (for "costume" details, hair-style, etc...) to draw Red Monika tonight...

Had afew min to check out your newer Art Sean,Looking Damn Good!

^Thanks, Steve! Appreciate the kind words!

I had a productive weekend and am now done with 3 of my 4 planned pages for PUMMEL. As soon as the Late Show comes on I'm gonna try to get in another couple hours of drawing on page 4 and will (hopefully) have it done tomorrow so that I can have everything ready to roll on Wednesday. First time in a while I've felt things come together well for me in PUMMEL.

Here's a quick Hulk I did tonight. This one was done in a technique I like to call "don't use your eraser" . Its actually a pretty enjoyable way to draw and I ought to do it more often.

That s a whole lotta gamma blood flowing through those forearms!

[scmarooney]

^I should have probably gotten some ref to see where all the veins in the forearms are. Just kind of threw a few in there in my haste last night !

I got my pages done, and earlier than I thought I would, for PUMMEL. Also I finally managed to tell a complete story from front to back. Well, the story is actually George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, and is the backstory, (sort of) behind some of the events in A Game of Thrones. The story in the book is told from character POV's and by piecing together this story and that one I sort of came up with this. Keeping in mind it is mostly from the perspective of King Robert Baratheon. (I hope nobody sues me for this !)

Here are my pages this month:

Well I seem to have temporarily forestalled my slide into oblivion down the PUMMEL ranks as the voting seems to be going my way this month . Hopefully I can catch whatever it was I had this last month in a bottle and use some of the same stuff for next month.

In the meantime here is a quick sketch that I did tonight for the sketch group. One of the topics is to redesign the Flash, the classic DC speedster character. I just added a few doo-dads and redesigned his boots into high-tops, y'know just in case he wants to play a game of hoops against Captain Cold

Another one for the sketch group. This one is the original character belonging to a member calling themselves Wild Aces and the character is called Vespa Pierce aka: The Retrievalist:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to scmarooney again.

Beautiful work on that Game of Thrones prologue. Also really helped clarify the backstory for me!

[Einar]

I really like that Hulk. I know that he is a favourite of yours, but this time it's different look.
And the Game of Thrones panels just rock. I really like Rheagal's face on the second page, great design (thou I might have given it to an older Jaime Lannister:-).
Cool work, Sean.

[scmarooney]

@Shaun: Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
@Einar: Thanks for the feedback on that Hulk! I appreciate the kind words on the GOT pages too, I put in a bunch of work on those and I'm glad people seem to like them !

And here is a super-quick Kang Sketch for this week's sketch group. Kang is an Avenger's villain who travels in time and is pretty close to invincible, but he DOES wear those goofy thigh high boots, which aren't, in general a good look if you want to be menacing (outside of a strip-club that is )
