Well I'm glad you're back at it. I enjoy seeing all the pics you post.Don't sweat it, Kevin. Just caught up on YOUR art topic, and I'm most impressed with your dedication. I keep losing momentum, and then have to play catch-up. when I first started this topic, I set a 2 pic a week deadline, cause I knew it would trail off if I didn't. Looks like you have no such problem.

yeah, these new works are pretty sweet. and who doesn't love sharpies?
it was only after reading these last few posts that i realized how great it would be to get a "blank" copy of your book and then use it as a coloring book. seems like half the fun in these different drawings is deciding what colors to use.
I decree that Muscle Man will have a plaid chest and polka dot legs....
Cool stuff, do keep it coming.....

I will post an uncolored one very soon (at A-kon, one guy charged me 15 bucks for a pencil sketch, so I'm hesitant to color), so the coloring book fantasy will be a reality.
This is the sword-handed Akuma Shogun figure, sketched, colored, and photoshopped by My good buddy Tal Hollingsworth! this is about as good as its gonna get, folks!

Finally, my favorite figure! 154, the guy with the shell on his head. at A-kon the artist said this one reminded him of a G.I. joe villian. He drew 154 in an evil pose, and I added color monitors behind him, so the lavander board game version is plotting against the other colors.

Wow! 154 looks awesome. Theres a lot of detail in the head! The artist did that figure justice. Your sharpiemenship is top notch as well! 
Great color choices. Or did you only do the background?

did it all, and unified the coloring in photoshop. Was goin to photoshop some of my first pics on the background screens, but havn't learned how yet.
This is the 15 dollar pencil sketch that I mentioned earlier. Still uncolored, so lets see some custom coloring (plaid and polka dots, Dr dew?)! By all means, post 'em here, and I'll color the original in the style of the one I like the best.

the signature says Matt Heras, I think. I remember that he was a splash page artist, selling laminated color copies of his art for really high prices (20-25$ for 11x14, 35+ for larger) of charachters he obviously didn't lave licence to market (his classic optimus prime would make you cry 
). he really didn't want to do any art that day, but his cling-ons loved my book theme, and bugged him till he agreed.15 is steep for a pencil sketch, and there are peices in my book that I like much more, but its still a great sketch. 
This next one is another uncolored pic, but for a completely different reason: it just does not ginspire me enough to color it. I will get around to it eventually, but in the meantime, its coloring book time!

this one took awhile for the artistat aggie-con ( a sci fi/ fantasy expo at Texas A&M) and it looks pretty good. I cleaned up the colors in photoshop and added the blue bg

the drive from A&M is about 3 hours, and I got the urge to draw this guy in a scratchy style, using the shaky drive (and heather's new dresden dolls cd (artsy bitter fem goth)) to my advantage. turned out pretty good, and made the drive back much shorter.

wow, I've been away from this awhile! time to start catching up...first to finish with A-KON 2005...
This pic may be a new favorite for a few of you. I only used the black sharpie for definition, leafing most to her pencil shading

I've got good news and bad news: Tal hollingsworth has moved away, so no more of his phenominal muscle art. The good news Is that he left a great unfinished pic.
This is all done with gel pens. Very sad that it will never be finished.

Wow, its been a long time since I've posted, and an especially long since I've had one of mine up! Truth is, I kinda lost steam for awhile, and wasn't able to make any conventions for about 6-8 months, so I was almost outta pics to post.
It took the idea of cross pollinating muscle with other media to get my motivation back up. Now I won't be posting quite as frequently as I used to, since I don't have a back cataloge of new peices, but I will try to keep it to at least 3-4 new pics a month.
I am very proud of this first cross-pollination peice. To set it up: The big muscleman figure with the wound on its head finally being explained... In A Garbage Pail Kids Card! I kept the pic as high res and large scale as I could. The only digital meddling involved was making the base color uniform, and redrawing the "peel Here" arrow that didn't survive the color uniforming. Everything else was hand-drawn with sharpies, using the card and figure for reference.
Enjoy!
