Canceled comic.

The one thing i always hate in these arguments are the “But if this was a REAL fight,” which is silly since you’re discussing fictional characters. So you actually have to place the fight on the character terms. Batman wins, not because he’s better prepared, but because his character is fundamentally presupposed to win. His character is that he has to face impossible obstacles constantly:

1. fight crime in a perpetually corrupt city, which as a function of story telling, literally never gets better. So 20 years in, or 40 years in, Batman’s job has not made anything better. But, he can’t stop. He’s pretty much sisyphus in spandex.

2. he also must combat epic-level dangers, and be able to hold his own and be a leader to super powered characters. And since he’s right next to very powerful characters, he can’t be shown as weak, so he’s developed this meta-power of always being prepared.

Since his existence is one of perpetual struggle – victory – struggle, if he lost, it’d undo his character completely.

But Superman is almost the opposite. He’s not a human cursed with a literary hell on earth, and remaining just sane enough to call himself human, he’s an alien who’s godlike, masquerading as a human. So, he must constantly be humbled, defeated, and rise again. Which is messianic in it’s nature, which is what the character represents. So when Superman confronts Batman, he loses, but loses until he realises he shouldnt be fighting Batman anyway. Pitted against each other, they must fulfill their character arcs, so Batman wins, continues in hell, Superman loses and returns to heaven.

Its perfectly reflected in their cities, and enemies. Batman lurks in the dark wet Gotham fighting demonic villains (twoface, joker, killer croc) whereas Superman flies above the skies of sunny metropolis fighting Lex Luthor (A god among men) Darkseid (a literal New God) and Mxyplyzyk (A 5th dimensional God).

So Batman wins, cause he’s written to. But his life sucks in the long run.

Superman loses, but he gains in humanity.

my boss asked me to draw him something for a commission. This is what he asked for, “I want like all kinds of stuff, but in your style, but i definitely want a hot girl, but tasteful y’know? And like dolphins and SPACE!” This was as detailed as i could get. Here is what i drew.

the artist of Akira

and for some reason, i had to get up and draw this. I don’t ever draw anything manga-y, but here ya go. this is what happens when i feel like crying like a little girl.

I started reading Blackest Night from DC in the past week, and so far, its been the only big giant crisis crossover event that hasn’t completely irritated me. Actually, i like it. So i decided to draw this. Hope you like it.

This is an old comic idea, that i decided to draw a poster for. Gamma is basically "What would the world be like if giant Kaiju destroyed the world, the Power Rangers couldn’t stop them, and pocket monsters were used in brutal back alley cock-fights?" This is the answer.

This is a commission i did recently, with the Cartoon Commune. The client was really picky, but eventually we found a sketch that she liked, so here is the final version, then sketches after the cut:

SKETCHES

Hey everyone, i just finished a commission for a friend’s story, Jonaliza.com . I normally don’t show the process, from idea to pencils to inks to colors, so i thought i would. I’ll start with the finished piece, then you can see how i got there:

the PROCESS

Hey, i’m a pirate. I got this new program, called Corel Painter, and i’ve been messing with it! This is what i made!

Painting is still hard, even on a computer.

Hey everyone, i was picked to make a shirt for Threadless! Check it out!! Its called CATS AND DRAGONS:

Hey everyone, sorry MOTRO was gone for a bit, but it’s back! Here’s 2 ACTION PACKED PAGES:

READ THEM HERE: www.activatecomix.com/45-3-25.comic
Or from the beginning here: www.activatecomix.com/45-1.comic

The first chapter of MOTRO is going to be published in SPAIN this fall, relettering all the pages has been taking up most of my time, along with a few other things. So here is what has taken my time this week, the cover for the SPAIN version. I might switch the two text boxes, to their opposite sides, those are the inside flaps of the cover, btw (if you’re wondering why its so long), it’s gonna be printed at mini-comic size i think, by this group called Polaqia. Check it out:

I sent out the first chapter of MOTRO to Comixpress, for it to be printed on demand. I wanna see how it works out. Here’s the cover i made for it. Check it out!

Better pictures!

MORE Legos!

This is like from 3 years ago or more. It’s like the first drawing of a new elegant universe, in the back there, you can see the Giant Green Algae Bear.

This is a propaganda piece, i made for a new character. She sorta looks like Girl Mercury.

this is the non-propaganda piece!

This is the standard suit, with basic colors, but i tried out a few different color schemes, really quick in photoshop, let me know what you think!

All the pretty colors!

These are the Gigantas, they are sorta the mascot for the New Elegant Universe. Their life cycle is clump of dirt, that rolls up into a larger clump, into a baby-hill, into a mountain man, which then molts into a Gigantape, which may grow until it stops moving, and begins to gather more and more sediment, (maybe in space, like GALACTAPE) until it turns into an asteroid, a moon, a planet, or even a star. Then the cycle begins again. Gigantapes are the most common of the Gigantas, but there’s also the Gigantopus (very near, foreground), the Gigantaslug (standing on the Gigantopus’ head), the Gigantabehr (with flying bunny friend), and the Kiwahirsuta (The Gigantalobster). All gigantas have the need to constantly be moving, and also are guardians of the natural order. Galactape is a guardian of the galaxy. Galactaverse…that might be a drawing for the future.

This was a freelance illustration i did for INC. Magazine. I did one version, but they wanted more “complexity” and ‘details”, like my heavy detail work, so here are both versions:

It’s a pretty good magazine, and i like to call this the “Mail Planet”. The article it was for, was how to make Microsoft Outlook more efficient with a few tools and other thingies.

This is the first page, to a second issue of a comic, that i never finished. It’s about animals that roll into balls, and race! Its called Super Speed Ball Run.

This is my first completed mecha! I’m a big lego fan, but i rarely get a chance to play, and improve my technique. This is the “Bleu Rumbler” piloted by Iroquois Star!

and here is portfolio dump #3

This is a commission i did, for a friend’s first Father’s Day. I’m really happy with how it came out, i’ve never been asked to do a drawing for someone, and i really wanted to give them something i’d be really happy with. So i tried my bestest!

Anywho, i liked doing it, so i thought, maybe i should try to do more. So yeah, if anyone is interested in me drawing them something, i’d be interested in doing it! Okay, i think that’s all.

This was a present i made for a really good friend.

I DO.
