OGLAF Tribute Artwork: “Mistress and Laser Falcon”
One of my new favorite comics to read is OGLAF which is published online weekly by Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne– I highly recommend it, thanks to my Color Goddess Dani Kaulakis for introducing it to me! Trudy and Doug are super talented folks who are not only making a beautiful looking weekly web comic, but a really sharply written one as well that makes for a great read every time! I did this piece originally as one of my nude figure studies on 10/4/12, but when asked to do a charity piece of artwork for an auction, I modified my nude study into one of my favorite characters from OGLAF, “THE MISTRESS”. It was simple process to add one of her classic outfits from the comic strip to the nude figure model, then I added her Deadly “LASER FALCON” to complete the transformation into a complete OGLAF scene. I thought it was a fun take on two great characters to do them in my style and make them both a bit more realistic than their normal stylized cartoon forms. This original pencil piece will be at the ROCCON convention Ill be at later this month on 10/28/12, framed and on the selling block to raise money for Autism Research!

10/4/12 – Nude Figure Studies in Pencil with Model- At Art Alliance of Central PA
Nude portrait drawings with pencil on 12×18 paper- studies range from 2 minutes to one hour. A great way to catch up on a classic artistic exercise and study some real life anatomy up close.
“Death Goddess” – Pencils
Since the original Derby Goddess has been scrapped to a more PC “Good Girl” art, I took the original and stripped it down to make her evil twin “Bad Girl”- the Death Goddess. Now she has a purse of faces stitched together filled with human bodies, the doll parts are real parts now (heads and arms/hands) and she has all the blood added back to her face and blade. The interesting thing is to see how the Derby Goddess (Bottom Right) turned into two different pieces, (Good Girl- Bottom Left and Death Goddess, main top image) so that’s kinda neat to see three iterations on the same theme/piece.
S.C.A.R. Derby- Happy Valley Dolls vs. Crown City Rollers – Nov 10th, 2012 Bout Poster- Pencils with New Edits v.2
Another round of edits to make this piece more politically correct. Most of the detail has been removed, sword, doll heads, doll parts are out, skulls are now altered to be more “friendly”
.
S.C.A.R. Derby- Happy Valley Dolls vs. Crown City Rollers – Nov 10th, 2012 Bout Poster- Pencils with New Edits
This is the updated pencils on this piece- fixed up the hands, altered the nose, and fleshed out (no pun intended) the skulls as opposed to heads for the necklace. Also, changed the arms and heads being held in the left hand to doll parts- a little “lighter” violence I suppose? Keep up with the ladies of SCAR Derby as we move closer to “November to Dismember”!!

TAKE TWO-The Painted Ladies of San Quentin- Character Study/Poster and Cover to UGLI STUDIOS PRESENTS #2; Pencil
So I was not happy with the original artwork I did for this project (USP #2’s Cover)- there were several anatomy / proportion mistakes and the image was too crammed to show all of the stuff I wanted to show and ended up not having a good flow/composition. I made the decision to redo it as a gatefold two page cover (front and back) with an 1850 American Flag to join the whole image together to get the space to tell the story and introduce my characters without crushing them in too hard. And you can see my friend, and superstar artist, Jeff Lavezoli’s edits in red on the original artwork where he called out some of my errors with scale, anatomy and proportion-Thanks Jeff! I’m glad I took the time to redo it- this is now a strong piece, and something we can get really excited about as an image and a comic book cover for UGLI STUDIOS PRESENTS #2!!
