The return of the ankh

I Check the web news and a few blogs I follow every morning before I start my day. This just means poli-tricks seem to be catching my eyes again. This should mean a few political cartoons should be working their way through my brain. So, saying that, keep a look out and be sure to comment good or bad on my side of the stories. I won't say much more here I'll just let the artwork speak for me.
April is right upon us and I'm still working on the comic book. Just when you think you can do something on time it hits you that you didn't plan right. But moving forward it's still coming to a PC near new, real soon.
Now on to the real deal:
After seeing her new video I decided to dig in the sketch book and mess around with a not so old drawing. I've been into her music for some time and anytime she comes out with something I just have to hear it. One day I'll catch a show of hers with my wife, who also digs her style. I didn't spend to much time on it and I think it shows, however I'm pleased with the finished look. When I start doing the background I have no plans and whatever comes to mind...well there it is.

Bravo! I feel pretty good I got another one in before the end of the month. I've been spending a lot of time on the new comic so I haven't had time to do any more caricatures. It's about time I send all the sketches to the computer and stop rethinking everything and just let it flow. Besides putting pencil to paper I got a chance to play some basketball on Thursday. No matter how in shape you are you should never play for 4 hours. I'm still feeling my stupidity.
Well, anyway on to the goodies.
This one has been hidden in my sketchbook for some time. She wanted to come out so bad, and lets face it, nothing can stop this one from getting media attention. Ladies and gents if anyone has ever "taken one for the team" this has got to be the one.

This is for everyone who asked when is the website coming and I told you when it's finished. It's up, our long awaited website has finally launched. However, there are still some things that need fixing, but we are on our way. We've also given ourselves till April to blast our the new comic, this way we're not rushing things so the end result should look pretty fantastic. You can either hit the link at the upper right at the sandstone logo or just click here.
Time to hit you with a sample. This is also on the front page of the website. Enjoy.

Things are out of control this week. I had intentions to launch my website sandstone studio but with dentist appointments, working out living arrangements and time to myself, well, very little got done. When I did get a chance to relax with my wacom I ended up doing everything other than my website. You can fault me, the Lakers played three games this week and two were back to back, so there. I realized I take way to long to color my artwork and I have more doodles than actual work. That's something I have to fix really fast.
On to the new work.
Here's the talk show host/radio personality Wendy Williams. I'm not a fan or viewer of her show but she was fun to draw.

Design sketches

Got some work done on Stolen moments. Sketching sometimes can be a dull task but when you like the results that's when you sketch some more. These were done on copy paper.

Character design

Stolen Moments will be the first online comic. Here is some work I got finished. As always the first sketches are never the best or the final work.

I was planning on cancelling this blog, hence the lack of updates, but as you can see things have changed. I've been working on a websight which will be an online comic. Here is some of the work. Keep ya eyes open cause I will be posting more as we develope it.

I was looking for a simple way to do inking and coloring. After much research here are the results. It was pretty quick and I didn't have to worry about to much highlights and shadows. It's colored in three shades.

After the shadows I did a little extra just to add character. I think it came out pretty good. If you didn't catch it her nails are painted also.

Budget Cuts

Much respect MJ

Just a little something I did in a hurry. The king of pop...wow

Since I started this blog I haven't posted much. That's not to say nothing has been happening, on the contrary the exact opposite has been happening. Most of the work has gone into writing and developing projects which hopefully will one day see the light of day. Just to stay on point I will start doing my B Side comic strip again and drop a few political strips like I use to. In the mean time and between time here's Putin.
