Critters

Some critters I designed! I plan on fleshing them out, drawing more angles, etc., but this is a first glimpse :)

Starfire





Cross-posted again from Facebook:
"My take on Koriand'r, better known as Starfire! I wanted to accentuate her feline qualities, so I gave her "whisker"-like freckles and thin pupils. I kept her hair big on top (flat-haired Kori just doesn't do it for me), but pulled it back in a thick braid so it's slightly more manageable. The armor was partly influenced by ancient Persian armor; the symbol I designed as a sort of Tamaranean emblem that could also appear on a flag or...more armor I guess. I kept some cleavage cos I thought Kori would want it that way."

Additional comments:
Basically I wanted to have Koriand'r as a sort of foil to my Raven design. Whereas I made Raven willowy and androgynous, Kori is more statuesque and voluptious, and a little sunnier in both color and disposition!

ADDENDUM: Dean Trippe was kind enough to feature this design on his excellent blog, Project: Rooftop! P:R is one of my favorite websites on the whole dang internet, and Dean's one of my favorite super-hero artists, so it's always a treat to be included! Thanks, Dean!

Raven

EDIT: Now in color!




Cross-posted from my Facebook:
"My take on Raven from New Teen Titans. Not sure how I wound up with such a complete departure from her original look! I guess I wanted to play with the balance between her human and demon sides, which manifested itself in Victorian-inspired menswear and a lot of crystals. Oh, and those eyes in the close-up are painted on her eyelids!"

I guess I'm into feathered capes at the moment! Color coming soon, plus possibly another Titan or two.

Kytássin

Front-on drawing of Kytássin, since her outfit was pretty obscured in the original "design". In color, just cos I like ya. ;)

Delák and Kytássin

These two bozos are twin wizards! They're going to pop up soon in The Walking Weapon (which WILL continue!) The boy is Delák and the girl is Kytássin.

What kind of Pokémon are you?

Steve Wolfhard started a side-project a while back called "Portrait-dex", which is a blog collecting self-portraits of other cartoonists -- as Pokémon! I'm in love with the idea, and a while back I created my own Pokémon. Here she is!

Not sure what I am going to do with her yet (but it will be great, I hope!)

Vampirella: ReVamp!

My entry for Project Rooftop's latest, fabulous contest: Vampirella ReVamp!


A lot of people kind of assume that Vampi is just some T&A queen, because...well...look at her! But there's a more to her than her sexuality. Did you know that she's a Vampire ALIEN? From outer SPACE? And that she hunts vampires here on Earth? I wanted to reflect her outer-space origins and give her kind of a fun, Barbarella look; still sexy, but more believable as a hunter.

I also have a nakeder variant. I am honestly torn, here, between staying true to the character and staying true to my own standards. Vampirella's been 3/4 naked for so long...maybe she's just one of those characters that's just SUPPOSED to be naked? I don't know.

Under da sea

A design for a fish-type person!

UPDATE
The David Malki/Carly Monardo "Futurism" print that had everyone talking at Comic Con is now available for sale at the Wondermark website!

(Did we mention Wil Wheaton bought one? GO!)

May I direct your attention...?

To my new blog/project? It's called Whirring Blender Weekly Design Challenge! Each week I take 2 or 3 designs and attempt to redesign them in another artist or property's style! This week kicked off with my challenge to take two Disney princesses and redesign them after the style of Hyung-tae Kim! Check it out!

Wilhemina


My second entry for Square-Enix/deviantART's "The World Ends With You" contest. This will probably be the last one...I should be getting ready to move!

Marjan


This is my first entry for the Square-Enix/deviantART "The World Ends With You" contest. I always like to challenge myself with a new style, so this was a fun exercise. I'm not sure she's dressed distinctively enough to be a contender, but I'm well pleased with it anyway :)

(And yes, she was named after Marjane Satrapi. The "e" was omitted due to my own forgetfulness! )
