That Ron Dude Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I am not going to post it right now but my earliest work showing comic book continuity was done at age 15. It was published, if you will, on ditto, and it shows a very young man with no particular talent. It was the start. I worked to improve and when I reached a certain stage I became embarrassed by my earlier work. I destroyed every copy I had. Perhaps twenty years later a friend found a copy in his accumulation. He gave it to me as a birthday gift. It is now in my portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andrea!! or whoops CQ!! Yeah I was inspired by your AWESOME OWL water color post to share something on here and thought wow perfect timing since the folks brought those up...I was even happier they had kept them!!! I would have never thought in a million years!! Yeah it was pretty crazy to think thats the stuff that was running through my head and that my oldest daughter is halfway to the age I was when I did em... Obviously you know I have focused more on sports, piano, and nursing it up since then and kind of gave up the drawing thing but I still doodle every now and then...well at least I did before I had 3 lovely kiddos Heres some of my better stuff...Nothing is traced but I did use references for all of them making em much bigger...The Beetle and Electro are from comic covers....The Constrictor a Bowen statue...then obviously a few MegaMen and the Unstoppable Juggernaut I saw a picture of on the internet and really liked...hope the move is going well my nerdy friend!!

Artboy99 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Latest commission, it measures 18" x 23". I had never heard of this magazine before this customer asked me to do this piece for him. I worked on the inking stage of this piece 2 weekends ago, and found my tendonitis flared up and I was in a lot of pain. I pushed through it to finish. Did the color last weekend. I have another one similar to this to do this weekend. Glad this one turned out ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ron Dude Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I will be posting three images. I did these when I was about 14. They were inked (that is, transferred to ditto) and lettered by somebody else but I don't remember who. I had culled them from my stack of work but, since they had gone to ditto there were multiple copies. Lucky me. I keep them in my portfolio now. I hope someone enjoys them.
