Painted Ladies of San Quentin; Page 9- Pencils

A World of Killers opens up on the wreckage of San Quentin’s former whorehouse!
 
Page 9’s pencils of “The Painted Ladies of San Quentin” gives us an intro birds eye view of our new antagonist “Injun” ( when I get a new writer, we’ll give him a proper name!- Missing you David!) who has stopped the imminent showdown and decides to take on everyone… for reasons unknown. Since Xi Chou Long seemed like such a hard ass, i wanted to throw in another melee lunatic- complete with meat cleaver and sickle…. I dont imagine “Injun” will have much dialogue, but I loved what I did on the wrap around cover for his character design last August, and wanted to do him justice in the story!
 
You can see “Injun’s” original design here

Painted Ladies of San Quentin; Page 8- Pencils

Elijah Holman puts a bullet in Xi Chou Long’s right elbow after the Chinaman missed a killing strike, however a handmade dagger is thrown at both of the putting a halt to their showdown outside the destroyed whorehouse of San Quentin, California!  It’s the rising tide of drama at UGLI Studios true believers as we keep up a steady march to get Ugli Studios Presents #2 in your hands!


30 Years Later….

30 Years ago, an 8 year old Jason Lenox in 1983 started making a “Dungeons and Dragons” Fiend Folio Book because his Mom and Dad wouldnt buy him one due to the objectionable content for a child.  In 2013 a much older (30 years) Jason Lenox is going to finish the job he started 30 years ago.  Here is a preview of some of this unseen in forever artwork I snagged out of my attic last December!

KNIGHT SABERS- SANJO!!! Bubblegum Crisis Pinup- Final Inks

The inked version of my new anime artwork from Bubblegum Crisis- note the edits on Priss’s left leg (girl in the air) and the Gatling Gun is fleshed out a bit more.  Overall this gave a classic pen and ink look to a very glossy anime subject- as a fan, I enjoyed seeing my work give a new take and style to something I am a fan of!

I am having this piece colored for fans to buy at SETSUCON in State College, PA in January (1/26-1/27)

 

 

 


Painted Ladies of San Quentin; Page 7- Pencils

Elijah Holman goes at it up close with the Chinaman on page 7 of the “Painted Ladies of San Quentin”… Tried some alternate angles to really show the Chinaman getting up close with his sword and pole arm which would negate the advantage of Elijah’s handguns, until using a close up, we see Elijah (perhaps) getting the drop on his would-be assassin!

 


Lion and Rose Handmade Soap- Packaging Logo

So in a blast from the past, and a reuse of some older art from “back in the day” from the end of my Lambda Chi Alpha artwork phase (2001)- here is my old “Rampant Lion and Rose” being used on a boutique handmade soap packaging from a wonderful lady, Shelly Cleveland Morris, in Beaverton, Oregon- thanks internet for spreading the word!  I think this really looks fun and classy, and I would have never thought to use this artwork like this, but unless it’s monsters or people killing each other, what do I know really?

So check out Shelly Morris’s new soaps, and buy a bar for goodness sake!

 here are her links….

Painted Ladies of San Quentin; Page 2- Final Inks

The tension builds to the coming violence in the inked second page of the “Painted Ladies of San Quentin” – Introducing Jessica Belmont, the Sheriff and the Chinaman.  I kept up the high detail on siding, soffit, wainscoating and cracked plaster.  Note- I added the banditos to the wanted posters in the background of panel #2, we call that “foreshadowing” ladies and gentlemen for the next round of villains, and also let you know by doing this how crooked Jessica and the Sheriff are in the schemes to profit from murder in 1800’s California.  I also was pleased with the extreme closeup of Jessica’s face, I felt it had the right mix of sexy and menace… enjoy! I’ll keep posting pages pencilled and inked as I complete them compadres!

 

 


12/13/12 – Nude Figure Studies in Pencil with Model- At Art Alliance of Central PA

Nude portrait drawings with pencil on 9×12, 12×18 & 23×33 paper- studies range from 1 minute to 40 minutes. We had a very active model this week that really worked and did her last 40 minute pose (top piece) all standing, so that was really a challenge to keep that pose consistent for the class- thanks Dayna!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Grizelda- Marker Sketch – Small Commission Piece

A small sketch of Grizelda for a fan I did this weekend- this was done in about 15 minutes with some markers.  This had more of a raw look than the finished pages of a typical page for me, so while it has some raw feeling to it, I think it’s got some vibrant energy to it.
