Ant Guy

Sketch blog “D” Dead Rising

I’m a big fan of the original Dead Rising game. So much so that I think I was a big part in helping a friend of mine melt his Xbox360 back when the earlier models couldn’t handle all the processing due to some thermal paste problem. So I’m really excited to play the sequal which is coming out in a few days. Hopefully the sequel doesn’t melt my Xbox since I heard it’s going to use even more power. Nonetheless I was thinking about it and for some reason I came up with this idea in my head. How cool would it be to play a Dead Rising game in a comic convention setting? It could be an Xbox live add-on or something. Basically the virus pops up inside a convention center and they quarantine the entire building. You have 24 hours before they most likely nuke the place. All the props and costumes would be hilarious and you could make an upgrade system by finding comics, sort of like finding the books in the first game. You have to dig through back issue bins to complete series and gain power ups. Well, it probably won’t happen but I just thought it would be pretty sweet. Oh yeah and I did a quick sketch to get the idea across, enjoy!

Still waiting on some rich celebrity to adopt me..

Ant Guy is actually 16 years old?

While I was moving I ran across many buried treasures one of them being this picture. It’s the very first picture I ever drew of Ant Guy from way back in 1994 when I was only 13 years old. Wow I guess I still had a lot to learn about proportions back then but at least this answers the question a few people have asked me about the guy, which is why is he that teal color? Well, that’s the color he’s always been. Maybe I only had a select number of markers available to me at the time or I just thought it looked cool. I’ve been looking for this picture forever and it looks like the only thing my memory got wrong when I brought him out for this project was his eye color. The sketch book I found this in is filled with all sorts of cool things that I might reincorporate into the story. I’m so happy I found this stuff, yay!

Sketch blog “C”

Thanks to KennyP for the suggestion. The character for “C” is Clank from Ratchet and Clank. Truth be told I’ve never actually played any of the games, but judging from the screen shots I used for reference it looks like it could be fun. I don’t believe I’ll ever find out since I have an Xbox 360 and I’m pretty sure this is a PlayStation series.. oh well. Since I know pretty much nothing about the character it was fun to just play around and change it up a bit. Hopefully I didn’t go too far.. or maybe I didn’t go far enough? Anyways it’s just a sketch so it’s time to find something to sketch for “D”. For some reason the first thing that comes to mind is Dark Wing Duck, but just as before I’m open to suggestions. It’s fun to draw things I normally wouldn’t think of myself.

Hello again! Man it feels good to update this page again. I’m typing this through some freshly installed internets that I finally got today. So I’m enjoying.. loving my new home and am excited to do more regular work on my comics. This latest comic was inked with micron pens again as opposed to my tablet. I just missed drawing on paper so it was very refreshing to actually have a page to hold and look at after I was done as opposed to a print out when I use the tablet (But yes the grey tones and effects were photoshopped . Since I’m constantly changing tools and trying things I think it’ll be very interesting to see what tools I’ll favor a few years from now. Anyways I’m itching to use this new internet and catch up on things so I’m going to go dork out for a bit and then I’ll get back to my drawing. Have fun everyone – LaTeRz

Home sweet home

I’m finally in my new home but it looks like it might take me a little longer than I thought to get settled in, but we all know how that goes. Still I’m very excited about everything in general and can’t wait to get back to getting my arts on. Also I’m writing this little note from a coffee shop because I don’t have any internet yet. I’m shopping around and if anyone knows of any good deals in the 27529 area I’d appreciate the info. Other than that I’m going to get back to setting everything up. Happy happy joy joy..

Stuff and stuff

Yes! I finally got a day to myself before I move this weekend and whola! managed to get a new AntGuy done. I can’t wait until after I’m all settled in and can finally get some sort of schedule going. So I apologize for the long waits between updates and I will work very hard on fixing that. So, right now I think I’m the slowest updating webcomic on the net and guess what, here’s another way to do webcomics wrong. Pick a style that involves hours and hours of hatching and detailing so that it takes forever to draw. I really can’t help it though Ant Guy is a labor of love and this is how I want to do it. So I wanted to share a bigger version of the art to show some of the work that doesn’t come through when it’s shrunk down. Here it is. LaTeRz!
