It's That Time of Year Again

darkj3 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:42:16 GMT

It's time that I got off my lazy butt and did some art! I'm taking Christmas art/fanart requests right here, right now. Let me know if you want anything!

I'm also thinking of doing commissioned artwork. I'm part-timing at work for now, and I want to supplement that income with something.

Welp, I tried my hand at a meme.

LoSH! (link goes to deviantart)

Another Birthday!

darkj3 — Fri, 01 May 2009 23:55:37 GMT

It's almost a week after museofspeed's birthday. Time for a belated picture!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's priestessofnox's birthday! Time for a birthday picture.

World's Finest Magazine Illustrations

darkj3 — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:04:57 GMT

All right, I've got six drawings today.

I got to do the cover this year (yay!). Theresa and I had to go around a few times to get the right cover image, and it turned out pretty well.

This wasn't the final cover--I drew a border that went on top of it. The border is awesome, but now that I look at it later, I think it's too much on top of the image with the cover text.

This is one of the sketches for the cover that ended up being a tiny illustration for the "About Us" page. I liked the idea that Superman attracts the woodland creatures.

This illustration was for an author who unfortunately dropped out. It's a title page in the magazine. I like the glowing crystals in the Fortress.

Nutcracker's Promise
by Saavikam

There's a lot I like about this one. I like the color and texture of the tree, cowering Superman, and the army of Robin nutcrackers behind Batman.

And last but not least

Hubris
by Renaissance Makoto

I love the colors. No one has pink walls, but it fits the mood so well. I also like Clark's sweater texture, and both of their expressions.

One Pic, At Least

darkj3 — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:57:24 GMT

I'll get around to posting the art from the Christmas magazine this weekend.

Catch-up

darkj3 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:46:05 GMT

I have a bunch of stuff to catch up on, least of all the latest World's Finest Christmas magazine "Once Upon a Time in Gotham" over at wfslash (direct link here: http://community.livejournal.com/wfslash/77092.html#cutid1). I'll be posting my art from the magazine here later, and I'll be posting a (late) Valentine's day pic as well. But I wanted to plug the mag a bit. It's great! And it was a blast to do again.

Jacket Round 2

darkj3 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:56:12 GMT

Now with 100% extra PG and SG.

Start the comics

darkj3 — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:55:48 GMT

priestessofnox and I had a couple of discussions about her story, Unexpected Changes, that were perfect for quick little cute comics. Here's the first one (it's rough like the sketches).

Yay!

darkj3 — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 19:15:42 GMT

I had the opportunity to get some downtime from my current drawing projects (I'm doing the wf-slash magazine again! I'm so happy), so I put together this drawing that I've had stuck in my mind for the holidays.

This one only works IF the new Nightwing is Kon.

darkj3 — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 00:08:55 GMT

Third sketch. This is the scene where Superman first gives Brainy Fuzzy.

darkj3 — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 02:49:27 GMT

Next sketch! This is where Tinya is trying to do a magic trick for little Brainy.

darkj3 — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:58:17 GMT

First sketch from the UC contest! I'm putting up the sketches as I finish them, since I don't know when I'd get to put them all up in a bunch.

darkj3 — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:51:20 GMT

Ahh, the flavor of productivity.

Not yet dead

darkj3 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:20:16 GMT

Usually I don't do art because I get lazy, but this time I have a reason! After getting a wisdom tooth out last Tuesday, I got a case of shingles. I have huge gross pus blisters on my neck that burn and itch, and it's not supposed to get better for another week or so. This is setting me back on all my art and using up all the vacation time I have at work. I was getting a lot of stuff done before this, too, so I'm mad I got interrupted. But it'll go away, and I'll be up and running in no time.

darkj3 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:13:20 GMT

Whoo boy, I'm still keeping busy! Here's another drawing for priestessofnox.

Productive Weekend

darkj3 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:21:02 GMT

So I got a chance to just sit down and crank out some work this weekend, and I got a drawing done for priestessofnox's story "Unexpected Changes."

He actually didn't turn out looking as young as I intended him to look (he's supposed to be 3 years old). But it's still a pretty picture. As usual, I had a TON of scenes I wanted to draw, and I'll be posting my sketches later.

Sketches

darkj3 — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:51:02 GMT

I got a little carried away with cleaning up the sketches. But here they are!

Some character sketches:

Kal-el

Zel-Kar

Brainy between season 1 and 2

Wisdom

And scene sketches:

Brainy meets Brainiac.

It's Propose to Brainy Day!

Kal, you can't do that.

At least the baby is happy, Nanny.

Cute and sweet.

Done!

darkj3 — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:24:36 GMT

Here's my official entry for priestessofnox 's fic The Other Side of Possibility over on Fanfiction.net. It's kind of a big image, so it may take a while to load.

</div>

I had a lot of ideas, but I picked this one because of the fun depth of camera I could get. I'll be posting the sketches of the other ideas and character designs over the weekend!

darkj3 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:51:25 GMT

Yet another piece for priestessofnox's work! This one is for her story titled "When." It's about Kel-el discovering his feelings for Brainy (so cute).

darkj3 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:42:08 GMT

I read the cutest Superman/Brainy fanfic by priestessofnox, and I drew a picture from it.

EDIT: Oh yeah! The Christmas pictures!

You can see the magazine here: http://community.livejournal.com/wfslash/39193.html

It was tons of fun, and everyone I worked with was great!

Quick update

darkj3 — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:12:14 GMT

I'll be posting the Christmas art I did reaaal soon. The magazine came out about a week ago (http://community.livejournal.com/wfslash/39193.html check it out!), so I can post the art anytime. Anytime now.

In the meantime, I did a self-portrait for one of my real life projects.

Holiday Goodies!

darkj3 — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:52:33 GMT

I'm going to do one big art dump here and catch up on things I haven't posted to my personal journal yet.

Looking at it all, I'll leave out some of the older stuff (it's not as good, anyway!).

and

And these are the actual holiday themed ones:

I'll be posting the illustrations I did for The Greatest Gift: A Superman/Batman Holiday Fanzine project (wfslash) in a couple of weeks or so.

As always, I'm willing and ready to talk all about my art, so do feel free to ask about anything! :)

Holiday catch up time

darkj3 — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:04:30 GMT

Art update!

I'm gonna put up my holiday stuff tomorrow with the exception of the stuff I've been doing for The Greatest Gift: A Superman/Batman Holiday Fanzine project over at wfslash. If you like Batman + Superman, check it out! The magazine is being updated one fic/drawing a day, then a compilation will be made at the end. There are lots of fabulous artists and authors, so there should be something good every day.

Catching up

darkj3 — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 18:54:08 GMT

Nothing new here, I'm just catching up with putting my previously-posted art in my journal.
