Floating Ships

E.R.B. MEMORIES DEPT: I've had these blimp-like floating ships on my mind lately. No doubt I'm being influence by some old memories of a John Carter of Mars story I read as a kid - one of the later books, I think. I really liked them because, as stories go, they were more exotic-pirate-movie-adventure than straight science fiction. There's also a bit of Jaba's barge in there as well (from ROTJ). Funny what influences creep into our stuff when we're not looking. Anyways, I kind of like these doodles :) Ballpoint pen on sketchpad, 11" x 8.5"

The Mummy Returns?

MAD MONSTER MASH-UP DEPT: Hmmm- the more I draw this character, with those tattered bandages, hunched back, and shredded poncho, the more he's starting to resemble a mash-up between Universal's The Mummy, Frankenstein's Igor, and Sergio Leone's Man with No Name :) Anyway, here's another sketchbook page… Blue ballpoint pen on 11.5" x 8.5" sketchpad, above with digital coloring.

FAN ART DEPT: Every once in a while, you've just got to break out some vintage Mort Drucker and start sketching! These are from June, 2001. Black prisma color pencil on marker paper, 13.75" x 16.5
