Palette-Swap: Dynamite Duke

This month's theme over at the Palette-Swap blog is Sega games.  Personally, I spent my youth with my eyes glued to an NES, tapping away at A and B buttons in a frenzy, so I didn't really know much about the Sega Master System aside from remembering all the game boxes had a grid background on them, which I wanted to capture in my piece.  I chose Dynamite Duke after an internet search because the franchise looked like fun and had a cool logo (not so much on the Master System version).  It was a third-person shooter adapted from an arcade game for Sega's home system in the late '80s.  Enjoy.

Plastic Man and Mister Fantastic

Here's the piece for week two at the try-out for The Line It Is Drawn at CBR's Comics Should Be Good blog.  The theme was team-up two comic book characters that have never teamed-up before and one tweeted suggestion on that theme was Plastic Man and Mr. Fantastic.  I'm glad someone suggested it, because I already had it in mind, so how's that for kismet?

This is last piece to be submitted for consideration as one of the two new ongoing artists, and a third as a back-up alternate for the weekly The Line It Is Drawn.  My first piece got a lot of good feedback from a lot of people I don't know and I hope I'm chosen to continue on in the voting process, as of now I'm not quite sure how that will work, but stay tuned.  Check it out.

Kind Of Okay Comics #036

From the unusual mind of Rex Tarkleton, who appreciates the mild weather we've been having, since he lives within it.  Keep an eye out for more Kind Of Ok Comics in the new year as a regular, weekly feature by the esteemed Mr. Tarkleton.  But with that guy, you never know.

24 Hour Comic 2011: Page Seventeen

The "24-hour-comic-that-is-not-24-hours-but-much-more-time-than-that' comic continues with Bigfoot Jones running into the law on page seventeen.  Oh dear.  Seven more pages to go, which I hope to finish by the end of the year.

TRUST BUSTER!

I heard last week that three of the artists who participate in Comic Book Resources' "The Line It Is Drawn" are leaving, opening up some spots for new blood to participate.  The Line is a weekly happenstance on the Comics Should Be Good blog wherein Brian Cronin puts forth a thematic idea.  Followers suggest specific pieces they want to see within the theme via Twitter, forming a list that the participating artists can pick and choose from to illustrate.  Last week, Brian asked: Superify it! Pick a person, real or fictional, and our artists will draw them as a superhero.   I went with Theodore Roosevelt, one suggestion out of over 250, and submitted it.  If it fairs well, I may get chosen to do a piece every week.  Wish me luck.
