Jungle Queen climbing onto Maxx: Two Versions

Same art, one with digital Blue Background,  

The second has a Hand Drawn Green Background.

I was a little slow to warm up to drawing Maxx again after a few decades away.

New Maxx Cover, a couple more Pics

 

Something cool about the net is showing off 'process pics' of newly created art on their blog, 

often minutes after the artists does it.  

Very cool. 

New Artwork from an Old Friend . .

James Dean Conklin is a artist, animator ( he worked on MTV's Maxx animated series) and is also a musician.  He's been awesome friend for the 20 years we've know each other.  

Below is a kick-ass print he did recently, 

And below that is something I drew for him a long time ago, being as we are both Dr. Strange fans.  

Another 'Maxx Cover . . .

 

I'm also working on a new batch of Maxx covers, 

only trouble is I have no interior pages to go with it. 

Oh well, least it gives me a pile of unprinted Maxx covers to enjoy. 

More 'Losing Isz' panels

 

Yeah, I know technically it's one panel. 

But in a way, the tree trunks do sorta divide it into three panels, eh?  

an Alpaca Christmas

 

Yes, I know I've posted this one before, 

but it seemed a good choice for the Holidays.  

Reconsidering The Hollows

 

My buddy Chris Ryall wrote this mini series.  It has a looser style than my usual.  Not many people read it when it first came out, 

but I really enjoyed drawing it. 

' Losing Isz ', again . .

 Another page from this vintage story.

Egret

 

yes, yet another Batman Sketch . . .

 

. . at least this one has some swell wet-in-wet watercolor background in it.

Here's an image you may not see if you mostly view the blog on your phone, unless you happen see it on your computer.  

A few panels from "Losing Is"

Here's a few panels from a funny animal comic in the 80s's called 'Critters'.  This also appeared in the "I Before E" collection.

Maxx Un-used Darker Image Penciled Page

 From a new upcoming Maxx project. 

Chicken's Revolt page

 A page from When the Chicken's Revolt. 

I have no clue . . .

 . . what this is, or why I drew it. 

*sigh*  Brain cells I'll never get back. 

Hollows Tree

 . . . rough 'blank cover' sketch. 

Vertical or Horizontal ?

 . . . either way. 

Batmite & Joker

 

Cal Schenkel Tribute

Shenkel's an artists who drew & designed many frank Zappa album covers. 

Pot Belly Bunny

 

Venom Commission

I don't do Commission's anymore, 

but back when I did them, 

this was one of them. 

MCP 90

 

Twout stuff: Two Magic Boxes

which continued with various Maxx covers in similar composition too.

Asian Moon

 

Going Batty

Sorry to drive everybody crazy with all these batman posts.  Promise to throw some other (non-bat) images up in future posts. 

Collaboration

 Jon Wa$hak penciled and inked this face . . . 

. , and I added the 'brown strip' down the middle. 

2 Versions of a Nola Cover

 So which do you like better? 

Vassilis' Panda

 Vassilis Gogtzilas' wonderful illustration of a girl and her panda. 

Momma Ojo's eye

Another old fav that appeared in Ojo, Nola, and even showed up in issue 4 of Batman vs Maxx. 

Unfinished Hand

Another early piece by me.

 

Can't remember why I didn't finish inking this guy's left hand. 

Finding My Own Style . .

 

Some feedback I got from a lot of editors when trying to break into comics was that my style looked too derivative of Bernie Wrightson. 

It took several years to find my own style. 

Pink Twout

I really like some of the textures in this one.  

Especially the stringy stuff in the upper right corner.  

Maybe I should do a Maxx piece in this style?  

Way$hak

 My old friend Jon has been consistently and diligently amassing an impressive body of work with illustrations ( like the one bellow ), in a series of breathtaking sketchbooks called MYOPIA:
