Pet Peeves. This week’s topic at Illustration Friday.
Stupid cell phone earpiece things. I don’t like them. At all. Or the jerks who talk loudly about nothing in particular in public spaces.
I tried to do something a little different with the coloring, rather than the Photoshop of gradients onto my line art. I used textures from photos. Those are my actual bloodshot eyes on my cartoon eyes. I actually own that shirt. That’s my hair, and so on. It turned out okay. Something I’ll definitely try again in the future.

Here it is. The somewhat final front page thing for the No Outlet website that I’m working on. Yeah! I’ll let y’all know when it’s up as I’m gonna put the first 5-6 pages of the book up there.
Click here for a super-large version of this.

This is H.I, a confrontational pothead. He’s a huge troublemaker and knows where people’s limits are as to cross them.
His name comes from Nicolas Cage’s character in Raising Arizona but he looks like comedian Dave Attell’s retarded little brother.

This is Tyrone. A thalidomide victim whose mother died during childbirth. He was adopted by an Asian family and taught martial arts which came in handy during school bullying sessions. He met Max in high school and works at a soda bottling factory.

A Mysterio drawn on the Sketch Swap site. You draw a picture and receive a picture. I got a crappy rendition of the Wu-Tang logo. Oh, well.
See another Sketch Swap I did here.
See some more Mysterio Mondays here.

(The third part of a little series showing the making of a piece for the website for the comick me and k.t. have been working on.)

This is Max. He’s the main character in the No Outlet comick. The heir to the vast Pegasus empire, he’s more than a little annoyed that his parents expect anything out of him. “Stoned Slacker” is a phrase that both annoys and describes him.
I’m coloring this a little less detailed than I usually do as I have to shrink this down quite a bit.
Coming next: Tyrone.

I got into a discussion with my girlfriend the other day as to how sometimes I wish I could draw in her style. Any time I draw, the 20 or so years of me reading comics and whatnot heavily influences my style. This is an attempt to draw a more cartoony Batman. Just the right amount of goofy.

Check out a super-huge version over here.
