A new pic of Chun-Li from Street Fighter has been added to the gallery! It’s been a while since I scribbled a Street Fighter and Chun-Li just seemed like the right character to draw. I also added the original sketch to the Black Panther pic I drew earlier this month. I still need to get test prints of both pics before adding them to the prints section here.
Chun-Li here will probably be the last color pin-up I finish before the All-AmeriCon convention in July. Cue the flyer image!
Note that I said that’s all for line art, because I plan to get at least one more pixel art print ready. I finished a few new sprites in-between all the new line art pics I’ve done for the past few weeks and some will probably be used in those prints. I’ll keep you updated on what I’ll have at the convention, but I’ll try to have some free coloring pages and flyers to give out, plus previews of new stuff to show if you stop by my table.
I’ll be back next week with more stuff! **claps and points like Chuck Barris**

Yesterday was my birthday and I spent most of it working on the background for the full-color Black Panther pic. He’s a character I’ve wanted to draw for a long time, so it felt really good to finish his pic on my birthday. I also added some TMNT sprites to their gallery page here. These hit ScrollBoss in the Free Comic Book Day update in May and were so rushed that I didn’t take any progress steps while doing them. Still, they managed to look okay. Also: the Pac-Man and Lego Batgirl pics are now available as prints!
Reminder: the All-AmeriCon 2016 in Warren, Ohio is less than a month away!
I’ll have prints to sell, flyers to give away (and, fingers crossed, free coloring pages again, if I can get them printed). I’ll also have some printouts of stuff that isn’t on this site or ScrollBoss yet, so check that out, too. There’s a kick-butt artist’s alley every year that has every taste covered, lots of cool comic and toy dealers (where I try not to drop all my profits) and top-notch cosplayers rolling through. It’s a great time every year, so stop in if you can!

The Lego Batgirl pic is done (the ’66 TV show version) and on a background similar to the Lego Spidey pic from 2014. I also have a preview of the Black Panther in flat colors, mainly because I’ve wanted to draw T’Challa again for YEARS, but none of the attempts worked out.
Both the Pac-Man pic (from last week) and Batgirl pics will be available in the print section once I get test prints of both. I’ll be back with more newness next week (or sooner)!

Finally, an update! Today’s newness is full-color art of Pac-Man and a black & white pic of Lego Batgirl (my own 60’s TV version) hit the gallery hard enough to knock a bit of the dust off that place. Gotta start being productive and get some new prints ready for the All-AmeriCon convention. The Pac-Man pic will be available as a print after I test it out.
I’ll have a table there again with both line art and pixel art prints along with some more stuff that won’t be on this site, ScrollBoss or Beans vs. Cornbread yet, so roll by the table to check it out, even if you don’t want to buy anything. I’ll also have the free 20XX Party Flyers to give out, too!
I was at the Warren All-American Comics shop on Free Comic Book Day and a news video captured me in full-on sleep deprivation mode:
That was after over a week of barely sleeping while trying to work on some free coloring pages to give out and stuff for the
a ScrollBoss update and then getting about 3 hours of sleep.
I haven’t been very active here this year, but I’ve gotten a lot done with ScrollBoss. I’ve got the an early version of the new image generator up and running, with a ton of new or updated pixel art to go along with it. I’ve also been learning to use Clip Studio Pro (which I’ve used to ink all my new stuff) and Anime Studio (old examples here and here). I also drew and colored a book cover that I can’t show yet. So, yeah, I haven’t been sittin’ around eatin’ chocolates and not conditioning.
I’ll be back with more soon!
