Third in the Series--Mer-Kara!

How I love the Bronze Age of comics--simpler stories for a simpler time. At least, I think it was a simpler time; I guess it's always a simpler time when you're a child. At any rate, my fondest comic book memories are from the 70s books, and I really miss the days when all comic books could be appreciated by all age groups.  Nowadays the form is divided into uncompromising niches. It's sad to me that I can't buy Batman comics for my niece and nephew.

But, enough of my whining.  Hope y'all digs on Mer-Kara's Aquatic Adventure!

Last one for awhile, y'all. I'm concentrating on a new web portfolio, to be debuted soon. The figure and background illustrations were done in Procreate on iPad with the Apple Pencil. Some of the textured curly bits were done with the wicked-cool fractal generator Frax! The design elements and final layout are pretty much all Adobe Photoshop, with some Adobe Illustrator thrown in for good measure.

What if Wonder Woman was a mermaid...

Second one in a 3-part series of DC mermaids!  Main figure and background entirely drawn/painted in Procreate on iPad with an Apple Pencil.  The cosmic fish tail fill was produced with a tricky combination of Frax (to generate an interesting fractal pattern) and Percolator (to lay a cool star pattern on top).  Final composition was done in Adobe Photoshop, with a smidge of Illustrator.

Mer-Batgirl!

Mer-May seems to have had an effect on me.  Crossed with my love for Bronze Age comics, this is the kind of design that pops from my brainstuffs. The original pose was a quick gesture from my sketchbook.  All illustration and digital painting was done on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil in Procreate. The final layout/design is a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Hope y'all groove on it.
