This portrait of Liana is very delicate, and I had to darken considerably to get a good scan.
I don’t know what inspired me to give her ringlets; they are very difficult to draw!
And here’s a dark and brooding Bast.
More to come!
Sorry, can’t take commissions right now. Still have some to complete. Perhaps in April? We’ll see.

More pretty pretty portraits.
I keep changing my mind how I want to render Liana’s hair. It takes a long time to draw all those curls!
Now that I am over my jet lag, it’s back to work. Starting new projects and finishing old ones, finagling time to finish off some long-awaited commissions. Here’s a couple. I have lots to post this week!
A portrait of Bast, and below a portrait of Niniri.
These drawings are done in limited edition hardcovers of the A Distant Soil graphic novels. Only 100 are drawn per volume, and I am afraid it takes a bit of time to do them.
Some of the books are stamped SAMPLE NOT FOR RESALE, and I’ve drawn a few of these commissions in those books by accident. I have to be really careful and take time to examine each book for flaws lest I spend two or three hours on one of these portraits only to find I drew it in a book I can’t sell.

I meant to post this ages ago. My brain is tapioca.
Click the Wonder Woman and Commissions tabs below to see this piece in progress. From months and months back. Sheesh.
I may be able to take two more commissions between now and October 15. All commissions (including the three sitting here for ages now,) will be out of here by November. Aren’t you happy? I’m happy.
Last few weeks on Gone to Amerikay. My head hurts. But I see you can now advance order it online. Naturally, I hope you will consider supporting your local bookstore.
And if you like my swell pictures, and want to get a nice something for yourself without waiting, my ebay shop is here. I have some nifty unpublished work form Captain America, Wonder Woman, and A Distant Soil in there. I will also add a few very fine, full color Marvel Masterpieces sketch cards in the coming weeks.
Another commission now on its way to a happy and patient customer.
I have several pieces on ebay right now. Check it out! Thanks for your support!
BTW, if you are waiting on a package, and you are going to be at San Diego Comic Con, please let me know if you want me to hold a few days before shipment. Thank you!
