Convention sketches, and upcoming CHEW special

As always, Heroes Con was an exhausting but fantastic show. Thanks to everyone who dropped by and asked for a commission!
But before any more convention stuff, here's a piece I just finished for the upcoming Warrior Chicken Poyo special (for CHEW, published by Image), that should be out for Comic Con. Pick it up if you see it! The other pieces inside are an absolute riot!

And now for some con sketches~

Commissions return!

Here are a couple more commmissions I just finished.
Good ole Kick Ass, and a nine-tailed fox.

Heroes con report

I am back from Heroes Con!
The convention was a blast, and I am proud to say I felt like my shit was finally together this time (banner, products, prints, setup). I sold very few prints and stickers, even though there was plenty of traffic. The things that sell at conventions every year are always unpredictable. On the other hand the last two days just flew by because I was bent over my table constantly pumping out commissions! O_o So all worked out well in the end.

I also got some promo in for the webcomic that I am working on (see here ^_^), but seeing as I've only barely posted 9 pages, I wanted to ease into the marketing. I'll keep on updating once a week, and let everyone know when the story really gets going.

Thank you to everyone who made Heroes Con rock. I still feel like it's one of the few conventions that showcase artists over everything else, and gives artists both a chance to display their work and meet tons of fans. I met a few artists and writers that I admired, and got in quality partying time with fellow Studio Revolver members. That was a gooood convention!

Here are some of my convention sketches to wrap things up. :)

Oppan Tetsuo Style

Tetsuo is joining the party, gooey flesh blobs and all! :D
Drawing I did as a gift for my friend Joe Peacock (I guess he's also supposed to be my boss.. yeah), who is a rabid AKIRA fan.

Tombow markers (I don't care what you say about Copics. Tombows rock.) and Microns on bristol.

It's the 10th of the 10th!

Happy October 10th, e'rybody!
For those who don't know, 10/10 is Taiwan's birthday. ;) So here's a bit of love for one of my countries!!

台妹說雙十節快樂! (Translation: Taiwanese Hillbilly Chick says happy Oct 10th.)

YAY! Oh and I found this while surfing Google Land for something funny to Facebook about the day:

If the person who Photoshopped this sees my blog, can you please contact me so I can personally shake your hand? ^_^

Hello, cold weather.

So yep, I'm down south in Atlanta and it's been cold and rainy on and off for a couple of weeks...

And I HATE IT.
Sucks for me.
Btw, I finished watching the entirety of Game of Thrones, over the span of something like 24 hours. (Is that even possible? There are only 20 episodes...) Time well spent. And yeah, I know I'm a little late.That's what happens when you've been too poor to afford TV until now, and have been procrastinating on connecting your Comcast service. 9_9

Here's some lecture sketches from a James Gurney demo I attended last week-

And some creature drawing I was inspired to do afterwards-

Killer modern velociraptors? How cute!

Plus some messy-ass sketchbook scans, just FYE.
Strange, despite all the comfort I have with digital, there's something about ink and paper than even a Cintiq can't beat. I do prefer to color digitally; but sketching traditionally is still my fave... :)

Old sketches from our (slightly pathetic) zoo to wrap it up-

Cheers! And happy October everybody!
