J'onn J'onzz and His Amazing Technicolor Razmatazz!

Been AWOL a bit, but you lot out there know that means I've been working on things here in the material world. At least I hope you do. Or you're here on accident because my assumption that "CHUDLY" was a universal slang for hideous man-beast was horribly wrong, and you're confused as to why a Quidditch page would be covered in obscene doodles.

Whatever works, I'm easy.

Also, and quite a ways back, Sean "Don't Take No Smeg From Nobody Ever" Hartter took a crack at coloring my Easter Island Manhunter up there. Turned out pretty Ditko and keen, I think. Sorry it took me so long to post, bub.

impasse (IM-pass), noun

So today is my dad's birthday. That has no bearing on the post, I just felt like sharing. Here are a couple of pages of the usual John K model sheet stuff.




 As you can tell by Frankie (of Eric Powell's awesome series, The Goon) and the other little doodles popping up here and there, getting a little burned out on model sheets. So as I'm powering on through the lessons, you'll see more of that stuff popping in and out.
 I am a fan of the Mountain Goats, and the line just felt appropriate here, I dunno
 This is based off a photo by a friend of mine, Daniel DeLuca, a rather talented photographer. This was a shoot for another friend who is an aspiring model and this doesn't do her justice by a longshot in my opinion. But she liked it, so it's going up.

I'm a big fan of superhero comics and the idea of superheroes in general, but I try to limit how much of it I draw because I feel like there's a certain style that goes with that genre and drawing too much of it can really be confining and no fun at all.  Manhunter here is one of those tragic characters who, although made incredibly interesting and deep by other media, has very lackluster comic exposure if any. There are a ton of characters like this, and if I feel inspired again I might do a few more. You all know how fickle I am. This take on J'onny-boy is based off those Easter Island heads, because I feel like that's such a perfect alien design and he's usually halfway there anyhow.
