Here's a little something I did for my webcomic (www.doodze.com) recently that I thought was worth re-posting here: Jurkzes, the Orc-like creatures of my tiny epic.

Wow, it's been too long! Here's a pretty girl I drew over Christmas break. I think I'm starting to find the balance between my cartoony style and attempts at realism, in this simple but not too cartoony style. Now I need to work on consistency.

P203

I think the theme for the new year is monsters. Not like I didn't draw them before, but...

This one is being ridden by a Doodze, which wasn't the plan when I started drawing it, but seems to work. It just may show up sometime in the pages of the comic (www.doodze.com). Seems like a lot of my best ideas are off-the-cuff and start with a quick sketch or doodle; like Doodze itself.

I've been wanting to simplify my "superhero/real people" art style for a while now. I'm really into the idea of being economic with my line use, especially with finished, inked illustrations.

Looking through some old sketches I've landed on some keys. These two faces show a couple if things I can implement: The first one (the elf chick) has simplified hair; basically it's one shape rather than a bunch if lines. The second face has simplified eyes, with the bottom lid non-existent, making for fewer lines still.

P538

A space-fairing botanist whose ship was caught in a radiation storm just as he performing an experiment with bonsai in his lab. The resulting power surge caused the branch he was trimming to take root in his forehead, forever changing him into the hero known as Branch-Face. Friend of Spaceboy Ed.

This is just a doodle but I'm pretty sure I like this version better. And I actually had an idea the other day for how to use this character.

P503

This sketch isn't based on anyone in particular; just a random sketch of a girl. But it dies pose a question I'm sure every guy has asked about some girl at some point.

This one's been kicking around for a while now. Drew it several months ago, even shot it with my iPhone for quick and easy posting, but never got around to it till now.

P493

Slight cheat, as this is an idea I've had for a while. I don't have a name for these critters yet, but they're another kind of monster for my webcomic, Doodze. I'd tell you more, but it would contain spoilers; can't explain what these are without giving too much away.

P486

Another fancy-suit-wearing alien mobster, this time of the big and hairy variety. I like this one better than Zarnix, I think. There aren't enough harry, fat aliens, if you ask me. Maybe this guy will be Zarnox's boss... Or rival... Or both?

P479

Another villain for Insomniac. Like Chaos, this is another complete re-imagining of an old character, basing the new design mostly on the name alone. Martinet means "a strict disciplinarian" and is especially used in reference to the military, so this Martinet has a military background (hence the uniform) whereas the original was basically just Lady Deathstrike from X-Men, but with a whip that came out of her cyborg hand. I did keep the cyborg hand this time but that's about it.

P475

I figured the good guys needed a generic soldier uniform too. The masks will be a big help in creating battle scenes. I can totally see why old cartoons like GI Joe had loads of genetic looking soldiers...

P447

Felt like drawing an alien this week. Also needed more villains for Insomniac. So I thought, why not set her and her city apart from Batman and Gotham by having a sub culture if stranded aliens living there. Of course they would be a misunderstood minority and some of them, like Zarnox here, would turn to crime. I like seeing freaks like him in smart suits smoking cigarettes.

P437

Another quickly-sketched iPhone upload while on the road. This is a half-cheat. Fluxx is an old super hero character of mine, but Statis is new. I was trying to come up with a partner for Fluxx that would be his opposite.

P380

Another non-Doodze character for Doodze. Leafy Pete is my attempt at creating a variation on the talking tree creature often seen in fantasy stories.

Experimenting with the brush pen and copic marker combo again. This is Grobmog, a sea monster that may or may not show up in the pages of Doodze at some point. I figure they'll need to fight a sea monster someday.

19-chaos

Today's entry is a villain for my previously posted super hero, Insomniac.  Chaos is to Insomniac as the Joker is to Batman.  She's her opposite. And she's absolutely crazy.

Chaos is into anarchy.  But for her, the idea of anarchy is not some kind of punk rocker political statement.  She just thinks order and peace are boring, and enjoys upsetting the status quo.  Much like Insomniac, Chaos is super agile and a very intelligent, side effects of her psychic abilities... Unfortunately, another side effect of her mental powers was that she kind of snapped, and now is obsessed with causing chaos where there is order. 

Artist Note: Chaos was the name of a character I created way back in high school, who was also a villain.  For this design, however, I simply took inspiration from the name to come up with a completely different character, quickly and on the fly.

16-17-18
Doing another 3-in-one post to get ahead. Busy week and a half ahead of me. These 3 characters are more Doodzes, this time a group of messengers from the far-off city of Potremolis. As you can see from their appearance (especially Yogon), they ran into some trouble on the way to Bamboora. Our heroes may have to save their butts before they can hear their message.
