ONE-a-DAY #33-35
This was a take on David Petersen's "Mouse Guard".
I don't usually go for the pin-up artists, but I just recently "discovered" Petty ( there is enough of Leyendecker influence in his work to catch my eye). These are sketches made from his drawings.
I had an idea for this that did not work out...but I like all the shapes. There are some dynamics that my figures lack a lot of the times :(

One-a-Day #27-32
"The Bronze Horsemen" is my most "ambitious" short story done in the sketchbook so far. It took about a week and was a lot of fun. I used blue pencil to lay-out each page, regular lead pencil to tighten the figures, pens and brushes to ink everything and I added tooth brush spray and markers to introduce tones.

One-a-Day #25
Blue pencil (and when I ran out of blue lead, I picked-up a green pencil to finish off the lines).

One-a-Day #20 and #21
Ok, so this is another short comic book story: Fields of Gold. I feel that it could have went on for a couple of pages...maybe even having the last panel being just like the first panel showing how things always revolve in cycles :)
One-a-Day #18
I just recently read "Warlord of Mars" and I really loved the whole retro-sci-fi idea. I did some searching on the web and discovered that a noted illustrator, Frank Schoonover, was the original illustrator for "Warlord of Mars". Here is his cover and my sketch based on it. It was fun to do, I had lots of fun figuring out the gun belt and all the doodads.
One thing I was playing with the John Carter's hair style. He was a Civil War veteran, so I wanted to give him a bit more of the Buffalo Bill look.

One-a-Day #17
This is the one and ONLY collaboration between the Alex S, Nik S, and Charles Dana Gibson!
The girl face is me trying to do a Charles Dana Gibson style, the two guys are me copying random Gibson images (and inking them with a dip pen---I have never inked face shadows with lines like that before), and the two figures (with long hair) are by Nik :)
