More RPG work

You were tired of looking at the gorgeous piece at the top any way.
EDIT

I put Marty's updated thread back up top where it deserves to be.
 The other two I'm doing.
By the way.
Anyone that feels up to some freelance from a guy that paid me like clockwork for my work- Ken Mora and Ms Valkyrie.
I just told him I couldn't do the strip without my old setup.
Pencils done for one. I'll do the other 3 in pencil as well before I do color.

One more to go
This is the worst. Went to directly from a rough that was just a first pass that could have been improved. But...I'm calling it done.

doodles on memo pads at work- PSHOP enhanced


Couple of guys sitting on the bench is the best. 
One old guy- like me- has outstanding ears.
I'm slowly getting a tolerance for the monoprice tablet drawing.
I miss two screens and that little cintiq.

For the Money

It's hard work.

Really hellish doing this with the monprice tablet. But I'll adapt. Tried to switch to the cintiq as the only monitor. But when Photoshop got glitchy and my neck got stiff, I decided the cheap tablet wasn't so bad.

Bruised Ego

It turns out if you google something mentioned in a blogspot, the google corporation gives it preference in searches. When I google the North Park Drawing Group, a mention I made of it here years ago with my drawing of model and friend to some, Sabrina, shows up above more pertinent info on the group. Well, the North Park Drawing Group has started an instagram. Our instagramistress did not take a picture of my drawing at the North Park Drawing Group today. Nor did she take one last time I was there, and did not post the one she took of my drawing when last she deigned to point her iphone at my paper. Now she is a swell kid, and I am sure she means nothing by it. But being the petty person that I am, I will post today's long pose from the North Park Drawing Group and let the google spiders do their thing.

I used black paper, a white chalk pencil, and a soupçon of colored pencil.
Then again, maybe I just suck.

Oh, another thing. I bought a collection Tales from the Crypt from Bud Plant and noticed that they invariably have 7 panels per page. Is that a requirement for Marty's self-publishing jam?

Tom and Ellis are making my head spin. Here is another one I did on black paper a while back. This was a shorter pose and I did not discover using a white charcoal pencil underneath the colored pencil (it won't work the other way around). The shadow across the belly is kind of compelling.

This is cover art I found on Movies Unlimited and is the way I'd like to paint women, except I keep forgetting to do it this way when I have a model and colored media.

PR for myself at OAFCON 2015

I used to tell my students about skull proportions. Make sure you can visualize a brain being present in the skull. It helped their proportions. Scrunching the ear too close to the eye is something a lot of people do.

Re the headline.
My favorite Con and maybe the oldest lineage Con in the country.
Appropriate that I use a shot from the first San Diego COMIC FEST to promote myself.
