Wow, it's been a shit long time since I've uploaded anything...mainly because of my block, but schoolwork's a beast this semester. Well, that's part of why I stockpiled all those old sketchbook scans last year...let's see...OH, here's one that may be the second oldest piece of art in the place.

Back in '93, I was part of a would-be independent comic company with several of my ROP classmates called "Color Blind Comix." The goal was to do the kind of diversity that (still, 22 years on) isn't seen as often in mainstream superhero books, with titles like founder J.T.'s "Urban Avenger" and another guy's "El Corazon." My contribution was the team book, "The Young Champions"...I want to find the character sketch for one team member, Wildcard, because he was Ben-10 about a decade before there was Ben-10.

But this guy was the muscle of the team: Harvey the Hound, or just "The Hound" for short. Curious thing about him, he's actually based on the first character I ever made, back when I was like 6 or something...needless to say dude was much different back then, but hey. The idea was that he was a sort of a "Captain Marvel" type (quel suprize!), a skinny little guy who would place this little golden "H" on his cap, say the word "Roofdrak," and then turn into the furry mass of muscle above. I didn't think J.T. would go for him, but he loved the guy since he was so different looking from "standard" superheroes.

Color Blind Comix sorta fell apart, as these things tend to do, but it was fun while it lasted, and was, to date anyway, the closest I ever got to being a professional comic book artist.

...urgh, always unsettles me to be reminded that I was so much better an artist back in my teens.
