Time for a hasty Distressed Damsels post today as I grind away at that Marvel Wolverine/Man-Thing story due by the end of the month! Scanned a bunch of 90s-era Vintage Con Sketches with a DiD theme this morning:

I'm a bit dubious about posting Big Two work here, so keep this to yourselves, okay? Anyhoo, here's a sneak preview of a new short story I'm writing, penciling & inking for Marvel. (I've already finished inking page 1 above, in fact, but haven't gotten around to scanning it as yet.)
I have previously drawn Laura Kin...

Behold, recently unearthed, "sketchy"-format pages that were part of an open-ended Dirty Pair DiD commission dealie with a long-time (small-P) patron.
They seem to be from the early 2000s, judging by the then-new stylistic riffs of "minimal nasal indication" (drawn on purpose) and, to quo...

Due mainly to freelance work, I have no g-d buffer of Patreon posts currently scheduled, so here's a trio of Vintage Con Sketches I grabbed out of a dwindling binder of photocopies and scanned hastily this morning.

A word of explanation: One of the recent art requests solicited from the Biggest Spenders of the $20 tier wanted a look at an incident indirectly referred to in part of a 4-page story fragment from the old (circa 2012, IIRC), long outta print sketchbook Empowered: Extra Sketchiness:

Here are some recently unearthed pages that would've been drawn very early on in the genesis of Empowered, if not almost certainly predating the nascent project's evolution from a bunch of random DiD sketches into what would even be recognizable as Empowered as such. 2022-06-13 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post
