Let's Dance

Some exciting milestones for me and my comics, as summer comes to its official end (now, if someone would just please tell Southern California that summer is over, because the triple digit temps are seriously overstaying their welcome). First off, I just completed pencils and inks on my first full-length graphic novel, and second project with Jamie S. Rich!

Damn, that's a lot of pages...

Of course, the kicker is I still have to COLOR all 120 pages. But hey, I'm allowed to celebrate a little! Drawing 120 pages is no joke, and it's my biggest undertaking as an artist to date. After spending almost a year with this story and the characters, I'm a little sad to leave them behind, but fortunately, I have my next project already lined up...

Jamie and I are collaborating again, on a project with a slightly different tone for both of us...horror! Good thing I stocked up on ink! These will be the characters you'll see in my sneak peek photos and hear about in my tweets in the coming months. (Are you following me on Twitter yet? No? Why not? @SadMeganGirls!) 

Back to the drawing table! 

Suit and Tie

A little teaser from the book I'm currently working on with Jamie S. Rich. Because sometimes you wake up and realize you've been so busy you've neglected your blog for way, way too long!

26.2

On Sunday I will be running the LA Marathon! It's my first full marathon, so obviously I'm biting my nails at this point. So as I head off to begin carb loading, enjoy this fun drawing from yesterday, which goes out to all my runner friends who have inflicted this torture on themselves, or are planning to.

Trust No One

The year is off to a busy, bumpy start, so I haven't spent as much time sketching as I'd like to. (I've done plenty of drawing, but it's all for work, and I can't share the fun projects with you guys just yet.) But as I've been recently rewatching one of my favorite TV shows, The X-Files, from the beginning, I found some time to do this quick sketch of Mulder and Scully. 

The truth is out there!

Last Breath

Work in progress, which I finished inking today while waiting for some client feedback. :) This was good brush inking practice! 

Better

These busy couple of weeks have kept me from my sketchbook, and from the blog! Today's random doodle is brought to you by a morning spent in the juror assembly room. :)

The First Avenger

Under the Milky Way

Here Comes The Bride

A little bit of classic horror today...this piece was a request, and the timing was fairly interesting. Without giving too much away, I can say that I've been watching the original James Whale "Frankenstein" films for inspiration for an upcoming project. ;)

Letras

I draw a great deal of inspiration from the music I listen to. Even my warm-up drawings or my sketchbook doodles are sometimes pulled from the lyrics of various songs...whatever brings an image to mind.

Cosmic Love

Random sketchbook doodle today...it's a little bit classic Star Trek, a little bit classic sad Megan girl. 

Burguesinha

Finished the colors up. This is a little more muted and flat than my coloring tends to be, but I kind of like it. What do you think?

Happiness Hit Her Like A Bullet In The Back

Sometimes, a wonderful thing can actually just end up nearly killing you.

The Artist

Tonight's wind-down sketch is one of my favorite images from the movie "The Artist". You never realize how few neutral tone markers you have until you try to do a scene from a black and white film...
