Wizard World Chicago 2010

[Oliver]

Hey ya'lls, I'll be attending my first Wizard World Chicago show Aug. 19-22 and will be in Artist's Alley with fellow studiomate Livio Ramondelli. Last time I was at this show was in 2004, as a fan showing my portfolio around.

Here is a pre-paid commission of 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' I did for pick-up at the show. It was a lot of fun to do and my first time drawing this classic character.

Anyhoo, can't wait for the show and see ya there!

Aion

[Eddie]

Hello everyone, here is a piece I did for a SDCC lithograph based on characters from the AION RPG. Truth be told, I'm not too familiar with this game or the characters, but after checking out their website and all the cool character designs they have, I got excited doing this piece.

I really like the big and intricate shapes that the armors consist of. The one thing that was a little hard, and probably took the longest, were the feathers. I haven’t drawn big wings before, so I didn’t know how much of them to indicate and how much of them were going to be knocked out with the color.

Just when you start getting comfortable with your ‘skill set’, something always throws a ‘curve ball’ and REMINDS you the learning process is a nonstop, ongoing process…Nevertheless, I am pretty happy with the overall piece and I think Michael Lopez did a fantastic job on the rendering…especially the girl.

When that guy starts rendering the ladies, magic happens!

Hope y’all digzzz.

This was a commision that I hadn't had a chance to work on in a while, and am just now finishing it up for my San Diego Comic-Con banner.

I'll be at CC-18 in Artist's Alley, between Livio and Oliver or you can just look for the banner to find me!

Hope to see you all there!

Brightest Day & Iron Saint

[JOEL]

Hey all, just wanted to update everyone on some new stuff I have coming up. I just wrapped-up the huge undertaking of collaborating with Ryan Sook, and Fernando Passarin on 12 Brightest Day alternate covers, and man, is it exciting to see this coming together! I don't think I've collaborated on anything at this scale, and excitedly look forward to finally seeing the covers printed, which will span several of DC Comic's top titles, look for that beginning in August.

I will also be working on back-up stories for the four issue mini-series "Telara Chronicles," based on the PC game Rift: The Planes of Telara, available in September.

Lastly, before I started here at WildStorm, Francis Manapul and I worked on a mini-series originally printed by Aspen Comics called "Iron and the Maiden." Above, is an establishing shot from issue 2. It's one of the coolest, most over-the-top projects I got to collaborate on (thanks to Jason Rubin) and is now being collected by Top Cow Productions, available at SDCC 2010 with a new title: "Iron Saint!!"

Be sure to swing by the Top Cow booth, where creator Jason Rubin (Crash Bandicoot, and Jak & Daxter) will be signing copies on Friday & Saturday, be sure and tell 'em Joel sent ya!
