some roughs...

Brian Miller is going to do another book on comic book color, a follow-up to his book, "HiFi Color for Comics." (If you don't have the first book, you might put it on your list of stuff for Santa to bring.) BID. He's asked me to draw up some stuff, mostly in the various "animated" styles, but not anime as it isn't my "thang," and he has another artist, Dave Bryant, lined up to do it. And Dave is quite good at it. BID again.

Guess I'm a bit "out of it," so it's been a process of knocking the rust off. But instead of beating myself up over it, I bulled ahead, and came up with some rough sketches. Nothing earthshattering, but some things I could develop.

Brian and I are both big Jonny Quest fans, so years ago we came up with our own little character in that vein, and did a comic story with the intent on making it look as much like a '60's cartoon as possible. I've revisited her with this rough, complete with mummies...
He's also a big fan of the "later" Hanna/Barbera stuff('70's, '80's), which is where this one comes from...
I drew some characters in a more Disney-esque vein a few years ago. I liked the '50's motif and wanted to do more with them. The '50's had its own flavor and quirkiness that I enjoy, including '50's sci-fi, so...
And lastly, I loved the superhero craze of the mid '60's and the wild stuff that was done. Here's a rough in a more cartoony style...
Granted, these were all rough sketches. But we'll see what happens.

Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
