Crossing genres

Ebony is like Doctor Strange if Doctor Strange was a girl cat.

Leave me alone I'm tired.


I wonder if there's much money in drawing superhero fetish pics? Oh, don't look at me like that DC put it on the damn cover!

I'm a little surprised I'm still enjoying Final Crisis, maybe it's just because the central concept seems to be that Darkseid's evil is so great it WARPS SPACE AND TIME!


See I don't just read superhero comics with freaky sexual subtexts. I've been meaning to draw a DMZ pic for ages, it's a fine comic, highly recommended.

I love the way Riccardo Burchielli makes all the characters look completely knakered.

Wenches

I was reading the very enjoyable 'Jews with Swords' adventure novel Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon and was suitably inspired to draw this. Oh, many are the times I've longed to find my way to a tavern, to rest my weary feet in the orange glow of a roaring fire. A busty tavern wench bringing me a fine frothing ale, a suggestive look in her eye as she passes me the tankard...

Sorry got a bit carried away there. I also wanted to try inking in a faster and less precise way to try to get a bit more personality into my stuff. I was particularly inspired by a new comic artist I've found called Denis Bodart there's probably a bit of Mignola to it as well.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to my wench fantasy...


Shut up, that's why

Wait, that's not arousing?

Sometimes (read: when I've been talking to Sam) I get the idea that I should try my hand at drawing some pornography. It might turn out to be a good way to drum up some new submissions after all. Now with this in mind we went looking for a porn equivalent of DeviantArt or similar as that would seem to be where the people who would be willing to pay us are most likely to hang out.

Having found one I looked through the Ratings and Advisory Policy on labels an artist should have on their work, and after getting past the expected Nudity, Sexual Content, and the like, I reached this -

Racism refers to the depiction of racist themes, bigorty, or hatred from one race to another. This applies both to the picture itself as well as any views put forth by the artist in their description. Mild - May depict symbols or objects commonly associated with racist themes (such as a Nazi swastika or the so-called "Rebel Flag"). Moderate - May include depictions of racist acts not including actual violence. High - For depictions of actual racist violence.

The next label was for Spoilers.

The Erotic Adventures of Smithy

It amuses me to think of the people I know who were totally dreading clicking on that title in their feed readers...

A while back I had a go at drawing a short porn comic purely to see if I could. I only got two pages into it and it's been laying around my room for a while now so I thought I'd colour it up. The comic itself is a pretty tame affair, I just don't have it in me to be a smut merchant.

Here are the two panes which I'm happiest with during my brief attempt to become a pornographer.

Some girly drawings

Drawn from a photo as anatomy practice, and another excuse to try out drawing straight into photoshop.

Don't judge me.

Wanted to try colouring straight from pencils, also to try tracing over a rough I drew digitally and then printed out.

The Rough The Pencils

I regret putting the boots on her; a) They make the picture look more pervy than I would like, b) They caused me to fuck up the anatomy on her left calf and ankle, and c) I didn't draw them very well.

Inspired by characters from the Cerebus book I was reading, also wanted to try out the whole Josh Middleton Ligne-claire pencil thing.

She origially had feet but I drew the ankles so badly that I had to crop them off.

FLCL fan art based on those rad new Bond hardback covers.

More referenced drawings from my large collection of pervy photographs.

I liked the pose because it reminded me of a Brandon Graham drawing.
