Miscellaneous Gallery

Something Positive and related Webcomics:

• Davan, the Boy Wounder: Fan art of Davan from Something*Positive, dressed as Robin. 5/11/05
• Kestrel: The caped vigilante, occasional partner of Davan the Boy Wounder, Kestrel seeks to keep stupid people from breeding! From Queen of Wands. 12/6/05
• Kharisma von Doom: Something Positive character who got somewhat scarred by self-inflicted stupidity (and a lighter and hairspray). I decided this was the next logical step for her, and did a very quick sketch. May 2006 sometime.

• Galron, the Guiron K-Girl: A K-Girl is essentially a female anthropomorphic daikaiju (giant rubber-suit monster), inspired by Twisted Kaiju Theater. This one is based on Gamera villain Guiron. Cuter than the design sketch. 6/9/05
• Kame-ko, the Gamera K-Girl: I decided to evoke the tusks with curls of hair. She's about to release the big gaea blast thing from Gamera vs Legion. Design sketch. 6/10/05
• Trudy, the Getter Robo K-Girl: Gertrude Robo, based on Getter Robo 1. Don't call her Gertie. Changed somewhat from my rough design sketch. 5/30/06
• Gilly, the Guilala K-Girl: Guilala is a somewhat obscure kaiju, from a non-Toho movie that was imported to the U.S. as "X From Outer Space". It was defeat through the use of a plot device element that looks like bubblebath, hence my idea for a pose. 3/10/08
• Kawaiiju: A "generic" K-Girl made up as a City of Villains character. 6/3/10 Later Ultra Mode and sort of clothed version. I later reverse-engineered a kaiju called Kentromachus for her to be based on.
• Sugar, the Spike K-Girl: In "The Secret of My Excess," Spike the sidekick dragon in My Little Pony became a full-sized kaiju, thereby inspiring me to design a K-Girl for him. The name is based on the old Sugar & Spike comic. 12/10/11

• Green Avenger: Main character of the webcomic of the same name. She's crushing a bundle of six pencils for obscure injoke reasons. I decided to try inking it all in thicker Sharpie "fine point" linkes, which worked okay except in the face. 12/7/05
• Lady Groincrush: Former teammate of the Green Avenger. No superpowers, but she has the willingness and ability to CRUSH your GROIN. 2/7/06

Galaxion:

• Patty: Patty's got a thing for weird hats, so I put her in one of the weirder hats out there as she prepares for a dangerous First Contact mission.... 7/29/99 (better scan uploaded 9/18/06) Note: the story is being retold online, and Patty hasn't appeared yet in the retelling.
• Fusella: The owner of the starship Galaxion. I did this all in Prismacolor cool grays. 11/30/06
• "Zandarin's Hat": A quick gag strip about Zandarin's experience with Patty's favorite haberdashers. Inked in Sharpie, with a little digital fill. 4/30/08

Mark Crilley:

• Most of my Akiko stuff is Kitbashes or Convention T-shirts. But I've done some style-biting drawings too.
• Akiko as Bright Girl: Akiko post-"Training Master" (i.e. Junior High age) dressed up for Who Wants To Be A Superhero? auditions. 7/26/07
• Miki Reaps: Miki of Miki Falls as she might be if Hiro were a Soul Reaper (from Bleach) and she tried to get into his world. 7/27/07
• Mr. Beeba: From Akiko. Done for a board avatar, the avatar cropped this down to just the head and hand. Ink and colored pencils, pose referenced from Flights of Fancy page 207. 1/1/08
• Bishonen Spuckler Boach: From Akiko, sort of. Ink and markers, Spuckler head in lower right drawn from reference. 7/1/08.
• Akiko meets Speartooth: Done by request from an Akiko fan, having her meet their OC Speartooth, a rather oversized sabertooth tiger. Colored with Prismacolor pencils, and I didn't much like how the pencil lines looked, so I went over it with the blur tool. 8/26/22 (delayed posting it in order for it to go up on the requester's birthay)

Skin Horse:

• Tip: A cross-dressing ex-Marine psychologist, token human from Project Skin Horse (the project being named after the character in the Velveteen Rabbit). The webcomic by Garrity and Wells is named simply Skin Horse. 2/12/08.
• Unity as a Jagermonster: A construct co-worker of Tip's, having discovered the Jagermonster lifestyle from Phil Foglio's Girl Genius. Hat design sketch. 6/20/08.
• Unity as a Pony: A mission to Equestria ends about as badly as one might expect. 5/17/11. (Now available as a Rule 64 meets Rule 85 "motivator"

White Lightning Productions:

• Chi-Chi Chan in Bustgunner: Chi-Chi Chan is the star of an adult webcomic, a former child star whose career ended when puberty hit with a vengeance. Most of her stories involve anime and manga parodies, so I decided that the "bouncing bustline" giant robot series Gunbuster would suit her. Note: I drew her limbs significantly longer than they should be. July 2006.
• CoffeeCreamer Maid: My own fancharacter placed in the Magnificant Milkmaid (NSFW) comic universe. While all the other "magical girl" types there get breasts the size of milk jugs (or bigger), poor Kimiko gets single serving cups. 11/22/07.

Eric Burns fanart:

• Gossamer Commons: Fan art from Eric Burns's Gossamer Commons. 4/24/05
• Dynamo Girl: From the "Interviewing Leather" series at Banter Latte. Yes, I know her knees are too low. Design sketch. 8/14/07.
• Scarlet Swashbuckler: A character from a story I wrote based on "My White Plume," a Mythic Heroes story that Eric eventually reposted to Banter Latte. 11/20/96 (used to be in the "True Miscellany" section below, now rescanned).

Steven Universe: Various art of characters from the Cartoon Network show, with my own weird spins. There's also some Steven Universe inspired stuff over in my Warmachine/Hordes Miniatures gallery.

• Pearl in a Suit: There was a thing going around Tumblr in 2015 about wanting to see the Crystal Gems in suits. So I started with Pearl, in a suit inspired by Mayor Dewey's, but with more Pearl-appropriate colors. It was my first time trying to do the SU style. July 24, 2015.
• Garnet in a Zoot Suit: As one does. July 25, 2015.
• Amethyst in one of Rodney Dangerfield's Caddyshack suits: Still not quite getting the hang of the design elements. July 26, 2015 (yes, I was on a roll).
• All three together: Did a little fiddling to make sure that they were at least sort of close to the right relative scale. July 26, 2015.
• Pearl as Journeyman Warcaster: While I have her an arkanika spear, I otherwise kept to the general design of the female sculpt Journeyman Warcaster miniature. I then resculpted that miniature a little to make it into Pearl as well. August 3, 2015.
• Rhodochrosite: Fluffle Puff pony as a Crystal Gem. August 18, 2015. (Yes, I went through a SU phase that summer.)
• Garnet as Kamina: A quick marker drawing. August 31, 2015.
• YAG: While I'm not going to make a "gemsona" until and unless male gems other than Steven enter the canon, I did decide to make an OC, based on the synthetic gem used in a laser I worked with for a couple years in grad school. January 9, 2016.
• Polaridot: When Peridot got magnetic powers, a lot of fan art of her as Magneto started showing up. Clearly this was the wrong approach, since there's already a green magnetic mutant...Polaris. Based on the Steranko cover. November 7, 2016.
• Pearl with a Girl Earring: Quick marker sketch with some sloppy colors, based on the famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring. Pearl with a small version of "Mystery Girl" as an earring. January 28, 2017.
• Pyrite sketch: A color sketch of another gem OC, this time (Iron) Pyrite inspired by Goldstar from Booster Gold. May 1, 2017.
• Mermaid Pearl: Done for "Mer-May" 2018, this is Pearl as an oyster-bodied mermaid. A first try that I didn't like in part because I left too little space at the top of the sheet, so I started over. May 13, 2018.

Marvel Comics: Other than crossover stuff covered above.

• "NASCAP": In Civil War Frontlines #11, Captain America was chided for not having a MySpace page, following NASCAR, or watching YouTube videos. So I made up this new Cap, hand-picked by Tony Stark, who has a Vibranium-coated NASCAR-styled Dodge Charger and a MySpace page. Design sketch. 3/9/07
• Spider-Bad: A five minute thing thrown together in Crayola marker and Sharpie for a gag. Spider-Man drawn a la Strongbad of Homestarrunner.com. 3/17/07
• Catalymon: Sketched up during the fourth season of Digimon, scanned much later to scare people with. It's a hypothetical combined digivolution of two characters who never did that in the show.
• Tetsujin of the Iron Village: Tony Stark in the Narutoverse. A cursemark is placed on him that will cause all eight of his Eight Gates to open if he doesn't obey his captor, but he develops a special set of Chakra armor that seals the curse and later lets him tap his Gates at will, artificially reproducing jutsu, such as the Rasengan. Think of it as a sort of Sharingan that takes some lab time to make work. Design sketch. 11/18/07.
• Jeff Mace redesigns Captain America: Done for a Project Rooftop challenge, to redesign the costume for a canonical Captain America (NASCap above is a new character, so wouldn't be enterable). I decided that in 1949, while thinking of retiring, Jeff Mace (aka the Patriot, the third main wearer of the Captain American uniform) would have tried making the role more his own by redesigning the suit to incorporate some of the elements of his Patriot costume and otherwise updating the look. Original design doodle (notice several changes), tight pencils and the version I submitted with a nicer background and no signature. 7/16/10.

DC Comics: Again, other than crossovers already shown above.

• SUBS: Superhuman Underground Battle Squad, as they were known in the TMK years. I played Staq Mavlen on LegionMUSH, but this is the only art I did from my years on that game. Drawn May 1993, added to this gallery September 2019. The paper started out cream-colored, and has only yellowed with age, so there was only so much I could do to fix that with my limited tools and skills at image-correction unless I wanted to go in and do a pixel-by-pixel cleanup.
• Fire Lad: A re-envisioning of Staq Mavlen of the Legion of Substitute Heroes along more Ditko-ish lines, done for the latest incarnation of the Legion MUSH. 11/20/04
• Silver Age Stargirl: Just another colored costume design sketch, an idea for how DC's Stargirl might dress if stuck in the Silver Age and trying to fit in. October 2007.
• Black Lantern Suicide Squid: An old standby from Rec.arts.comics, Suicide Squid is a typo run amok. With Suicide Squad (the original inspiration for Squiddy) getting a "back from the dead" issue as part of Blackest Night, I was inspired to make Suicide Squid as a Black Lantern, the ring catching him during one of his many temporary deaths. 12/26/09.
• Chopper Flames Superman: In discussing the flaws of the Man of Steel costume, someone on the AllSpark said something to the effect that at least he wasn't covered in "chopper flames" like Optimus Prime in the movies. So, of course, I went there. 6/6/13.
• Big Bear-da: A comics professional I follow on facebook (I forget who) bemoaned the lack of a furry version of Big Barda for the Justa Lotta Animals setting. So I made one. Rough pencil sketch phase. March 12, 2018.

Other Media Sources:

• Niriko: A character from the webcomic Nahast: Lands of Strife, done for an art contest held by the creator, Alejandro Melchor. 10/23/04
• Bun on a Bombarde: Pau-Henoa of the "Amy Unbounded" Universe (who may be findable here if link-rot doesn't get to me) playing a Bombarde, a realllly loud wind instrument. Pau-Henoa, aka The Mad Bun, is just the sort to try playing a Bombarde while wearing mittens. 2/10/07
• Duchess Dire: The token female of the Black Widows, the villain group from the 1980s cartoon Spiral Zone. I mostly based her on the comicbook adaptation's design, since there's no real online resources other than a head shot and pictures of the toy. Prismacolor markers and pencils. 5/29/10
• Marah the Jedi Padawan: So, my nieces got into Star Wars in a big way in 2012, including getting Jedi costumes for Christmas that year. On top of that, my older niece Marah learned how to climb up a narrow hallway by bracing her feet against opposite walls. So I combined these two to make her 7th birthday present, a picture of an older Marah as a Padawan sliding down from a position of concealment to ambush a clanker. February 2013.
  • Rough layout - Ran this past my sister before going any further. Then documented the steps along the way.
  • Pencils
  • Inks
  • Finished
  • Matted - My sister is likely going to get it a nice frame, but I was reluctant to mail something with a glass sheet.
  • (I have a photo of Marah holding the pic, but I'm reluctant to post photos of minor relatives.)
• Teen Woody: When Priest and Bright did a followup Quantum & Woody series in 2014, the new teen Woody's character design wasn't quite what Priest had been thinking of. So I came up with an alternative, which went through some design phases.
  • Sailor Woody - My initial idea, basically just putting the existing costume onto the body of one of the Outer Senshi, but making it more androgynous.
  • Emo Sailor Woody - I was told the hair should be different, so changed it.
  • "Twoody" (Woody 2) pencils - Got some more guidance on what Priest wanted frmo the character's look. Unfortunately, I totally missed at this stage that I'd drawn the comic too small, making Woody something like seven feet tall unless he's holding an undersized ashcan.
  • Twoody finished - I drew details from Quantum & Woody vol 2 #1 on the comic he's holding. Proportions are a mess, but this was pretty close to the costume and general look Priest had been after. November 14, 2014.
• Darth Moll: A visual pun. March 13, 2017.
• Rocket Bopper: I briefly got back into the Rivets wargame and decided to draw fan art of the Rocket Bopper, with a 1970s theme to it. December 3, 2017.
• Antifa Ferret: What if Sanrio leaned HARD to the left? March 29, 2018.
• Revolutionary Girl She-Ra: A mashup of the 2018 Netflix She-Ra design and the school uniform of Revolutionary Girl Utena. Pencils, and somewhat corrected stuff in inked (but pre-erasing) work. July 19, 2018.
• Susan Ezell: A humanized Sneasel, from Pokemon. Ink and Prismacolor markers, plus some white marker cleanup. January 3, 2019.
• Pondhopper Gets Fanart: Fishtrout's young dragon was jealous that her friend Swordfish got fan art, so I drew some for her. Quick pencil, pen, and colored pencil piece. September 19, 2021.
• Good Omens GO!: I kept seeing Good Omens fandom referred to as just "GO Fandom" and eventually I had to do this. I apologize for nothing. (Az's colors made a bit bolder in keeping with the Teen Titans GO! aesthetic.) October 30, 2023 (colored November 1, 2023).
• Teacher Hatsune Miku: So, in 2024 there was a thing going around social media where people would draw vocaloid star Hatsune Miku as if she were from their country or culture. Finnish Miku, Mexican Miku, etc. I decided to get in on this despite not really being in that fandom, and went with my culture: educators. But it wasn't enough to do Miku as a cute twintailed teacher...that's only how she'd look on the first day of classes. I was a bit hampered by the lack of the right color of aqua markers, but I managed to fake it with some wrong blues and colored pencils. Drawn over most of a week ending on September 20, 2024 (inked on the 18th, hence the signature).

December 26, 2008

• Deadpool - Marvel comics character
• The Top - DC comics character
• Nabi the Cat - Korean cartoon character
• TF: Animated Waspinator - In his natural state

• Thunderfist: Drawn three days before my 18th birthday, I realized after I was done how horribly Freudian the costume was, and tried to fix it with a belt. Didn't really help. Still, one of my early attempts at multi-figure composition. 7/15/88
• Osprey: One of my late-college Hardsuit designs, and the first one I inked with a tech pen instead of a quill. 2/29/92
• Iron Eagle: Basic concept by John "Elvis" Marcotte, I did this drawing on commission ($5, woo). 4/7/92
• Spectrum: Champions character of a friend. Last thing I drew before graduating from college. Not to be confused with the Superguy character. 5/7/92
• Gauntlet: An attempt at taking the then-current costume trend and making something that didn't look ugly out of it. I think it worked. 5/19/92
• Paladin: Fifth incarnation of a character I've been kicking around since 1985. 7/13/92
• Myrmidon: Originally supposed to have a light sabre, but I realized after inking it that I'd put the blade going the wrong way. So I turned it into a staff/baton. 1/8/93
• Myrmidon 1989: Original version of the character. Before I started doing breakdowns in my art. 3/28/89
• Vector: Another iteration of my "telekinetic martial artist" character, based on a costume design I was fiddling with for a CCMUX character (but that was not used for CCMUX). 3/23/04
• Fennec: A PC from the silly Champions campaign I ran in my final semester of college back in 1992, redrawn for the player after I got in contact with him again after a decade. Character created by Josef Ricketts. 10/11/04
• High School Art: I took a drawing and painting course my Junior year of high school (1986-7), turning out three finished pieces. A pencil drawing of an ear of corn, and the two below. Dunno what happened to the corn, but the other two lasted until it was time for me to clean out my old bedroom in 2007, at which point it was junk pickup for 'em. Dad took photos before they were carted off, though. Both were way too big to take on the plane with me, and not really worth mailing and continuing to store.
  • Demon Mask pastel: Taken from a National Geographic reference photo, I was forbidden to use black for shadows except on the bone parts.
  • Doctor Who and Sea Devil oil: Adapted from a Doctor Who Magazine photo of the Third Doctor facing down a Sea Devil, done in oil paints.
• Helium Atom: My concept of how an atom might look, done to help out a colleague's research project (comparing drawings of scientists to drawings of students). Not to scale, the electron cloud should really be 100,000 times bigger than the nucleus, give or take. And I can't prove protons are green, I just like it that way. 5/1/08
• Jimmaku "Jimmy" Nishimura: My character in a Scion: Hero campaign, he's a scion of Set and the world's best street racer. Visuals based on Kamina from Gurren Lagann. Character sheet. 12/18/08.
• Ampere of the Omega Guardians: Done for the June 2012 AllSpark Art Challenge, "Superhero Summer Fun." AllSpark challenge? Yeah, the specific challenge was to use one of the superheroes made by an AllSparker, most of whom are in the Omega Guardians or affiliated to them. Ampere's summer isn't so fun on humid days. Done in a Teen Titans cartoon style. Ampere created by Wingus. 6/5/12.
• Comet: During my one year at Cottey College, I did a few Cottey-themed pieces of art. The idea behind this was a sort of "Captain Universe" roaming power set, but it would only work for students at Cottey College. I kinda cheated and did a black fill because the marker just didn't scan dark enough. October 28, 2013.
• Buff Mermaid: I was a little late for Mer-May in 2016, but someone asked for a muscular mermaid so I obliged, using a tuna for the fish parts. Slightly risque. August 1, 2016.
• Wicket: A visual pun, based on the musical Wicked, but with the witch dressed for cricket. December 9, 2016.
• Goblet Goblet: Ununnilium complained on Tumblr that a Goblet should be a small goblin. So I drew a small goblin in a cup, a Goblet Goblet. Color pencil quick sketch. October 25, 2017.
• Vivi Anjons: A Magus (swordy wizard) made for a Planescape-based Pathfinder campaign. Prismacolor markers and pencils, plus paint for the Shocking Grasp effect. The armor design is based on the idea that she's from a Dragonstar world ruled by a blue dragon, and she was in disguise as a member of the Dragon Guard when her group's plans went awry and she got dumped on the Infinite Stair. February 8, 2020.
• Perfesser: Okay, waaaaay back in college in the early 90s, I decided that if I ever made up a fursona, it'd be a wombat. But I didn't do anything with the idea. Since that time, Ursula Vernon put out an excellent comic called Digger, starring a wombat. Then more years passed. Finally, I decided to make up my own wombat in the basic style of Vernon's, but as an intellectual rather than a rough and tumble miner. Since so long has passed since I first had the idea, my brown wombat is now graying. Inked using some "fine art pens" I picked up at 5Below some time back, colored purely in Prismacolor pencils with no marker underlayer. August 23, 2023.
