I have been a fan of the Doom Patrol for ages!! I first discovered them way back in the 70's when DC tried to revive them as the New Doom Patrol and then I got hooked when the New Teen Titans quickly became my favorite book in the early 80's. I started collecting the original issues when nobody cared about them and I could find decent copies for very little money. Now they are getting a TV show on the new DC streaming network! So while I was sitting idle at a show several months ago, I began to doodle a Doom Patrol pic. Mostly because everyone else was drawing around me and I felt a bit of pressure to do so as well. Ha! I didn't quite finish the drawing but I did scan in what I had and then finished it digitally and then colored it as well and added the dressing. Was fun.

I had surgery in mid December last year and while I was laid up in bed, I watched a LOT of Star Trek! It just seemed to hit me for some reason and I watched it all the time. Classic, Next Gen, Wrath of Kahn and all three of the Kelvin timeline movies with Chris Pine and all. I know that Trek has become more and more polarized in recent years starting with these movies and more recently with Discovery, but I enjoy them all. I didn't really plan on doing a full poster of this but I doodled a design that I liked and just kept going. I'm pretty pleased with the results too. I don't do many white backgrounds.

Enjoy!

More pages from my sketchbook. Never seem to be satisfied. The struggle is real!!

I still love the character of Union Jack and the story of him being (originally) a World War One hero that battled his vampire brother! This was digitally drawn and inked. This was in Photoshop and utilized the Lazy Nezumi plug in that really helps to smooth your lines if you were unaware! I am pretty pleased with how this ended.

Enjoy!

Well Orion at least. Drew this at a really show that was not going well and left me with way too much time on my hands. Was not a commission and I really took my time with it. Was REALLY pleased with how it turned out as well. Decided to not ink it either or traditional or digitally and scanned it in and colored it. Came out fine. I still really like it. I'm sure I will hate it eventually. ;)

Enjoy!

I felt like changing up a bit and wanted to do another cartoon-y picture like my Lost in Space and I figured that another classic show was just right for it. I started doodling it while in front of the TV and then finished it up while I was laid up in bed following my surgery. I usually try not to draw much around the holidays, like a forced vacation to re-charge, but there was not much else I could do so what the heck.

Enjoy!
