SDCC 2008 - Pix

[Eddy]

Met some old friends, made some new ones and just had a blast all around!

I've recently become a big fan of Joe Ledbetter's toys, so it was highlight to finally meet him and get my brown "Smash!" figure signed by him too.

Still recovering from the show, but I'd do it all again tomorrow, if I could!

Who draws the Watchmen?

[Eddy]

"The Dark Knight" movie - Awesome, right?

Everyone here at the studio LOVED it and it was doubly exciting to see the Watchmen trailer for the first time! In fact, we're all so excited to see the movie, Jim put together this jam piece for the guys here to all draw on.

We should have the original available at Comic-Con too, so be sure to stop by and see the progress. Just a few more hours now!

...a Commission a day, keeps those bills paid...

[Nome]

Hello again ya'lls. Like I mentioned on my last post, Comic-Con has almost arrived and like everyone else here, I've been getting my hustle on! Here are another few pieces I did for the show.

Spidey was for the very cool Simon from France and Cloak and Dagger I did for fun. I luv doing these commissions for fans because it gives me a chance to draw characters that I've never drawn before or might not get to draw professionally untill I actually get on that particular title...(the money's a nice motivation too;)

Anyhoo, if interested hit me up and all the proceeds go to my "S.H.E.D." (support high end designers) fund.

Thnx and hope u like.

You're a Star, girl !

[Lopez]

Hey there everyone, Hope everybody is ready for Comic-Con. Everyone around here seems to be counting down the days to the big show. Anyhow this is a sketch I did, this is Stargirl from the "JSA". She reminds me of Captain America so I went with a classic Kirbyish pose.

I've had a couple questions about the technique I use on these toned sketches. All there is to it, is to find markers that will match the paper you're using and basically make the paper darker, for the shadows. For your hi-lights I just use a white colored pencil and maybe a white gel pen. I like to use these for the brightest hi-lights since the gel pens are really opaque.

All of your mid-tones should come from the paper itself. You can find the colored paper just about anywhere, but you may have to cut it down yourself, I can generally get about 4, 8.5' x 11' sheets from one full size sheet of the toned paper.

Anyhow, I hope this info was helpful to anyone who may have been curious.

See ya at the Con.

DC Universe Online - First Look at the Concept Art!

DCUO Concept Art - First Look DCUO Concept Art

[Eddy]

This video is just a visual taste of things to come for the DC Universe Online game! Many long hours have gone by researching the DC Universe, debating every nuance from door frames and structural footprints to iconic poses and great gameplay to make something we can all be proud of both as comic creators and as comic fans!

Jim Lee serves as the Executive Creative Director of this game and he's brought together many of the creative talents here at WildStorm including, Carlos D'Anda, JJ Kirby, Michael Lopez, Oliver Nome, Livio Ramondelli and Eddie Nuñez all dedicated to making this an action-packed experience for every comic and gamer fan to enjoy!

But enough of my rambling...just check out DC Universe Online at MySpace for updates, parties and more!

Let's redecorate!

[Eddy]

Or "Hey, look what I found!"

Our office walls are being painted this week just in time for Comic-Con, but first we had to move everything three feet away from the walls for the painters to do their thing. And that means desks, mini-fridges, posters, comics, basically everything we've accumulated over the years that hasn't grown roots into the floor yet.

The walls should be getting their first coat of paint right now and tomorrow, we'll move everything back where they belong. Or somewhere close to it. In the meantime, here's a look at our little corner of WildStorm.

My office cleaning also turned up two cents, an old cookie still in it's wrapper and a t-shirt and shorts that have gone missing for more than a year now.

It's almost that time again....

[Nome]

Hey ya'lls, how's it going? I'm sure everyone of you are counting the days till Comic-con like all of us here at WildStorm. It couldn't come any sooner and yet wish it was a little ways off. (Still have a ton of things to do! Commissions, sketchbooks, prints, t-shirts, coffee mugs, glamour shots...ahhhhhhhh)

Anyhoo....here is a commission of one of my favorite Wildstorm characters, "Jenny Sparks" for pick-up at the con. George who commissioned the piece got a "Jakita" from Planetary from me last year and was so pleased he just had to get another Nome original. Hope u like and see ya in a few weeks at Comic-con!

Savage Swords

[Nuñez]

Hello everyone, I have always wanted to do a jam piece and I finally got the opportunity to do so. Here is a piece that I collaberated with the one and only Mr. JJ Kirby.

At first, we were debating on what characters to fresh out and we decided to keep it old school, so we went with Conan and the She Devil herself, Red Sonja. At the same time, we wanted to approach them in a new way, so JJ came up with the idea of doing the characters in a sort of Body Bags-style alá Jason Pearson. I am pretty happy with the way this piece turned out, not to mention that JJ hooked it up on the inks.

For anyone interested, I'm also currently available to do commissions. To check out some of my other stuff, you can head over to Comic Art Fans and see what I have there (look for the Eduardo Nuñez portfolio) OR you can also head on over to Mia Cabrera and peep more samples of my work there!

later'
