Comic Comeback

Hey Everyone! I'm currently working on some new pages for the revival of "Or Maybe Not", a slice of life geek comedy that me and Ryan Moody started in 2008 and are working on once again. He's got a stack of finished scripts for me so I'm working on some content for a new web comic. I'm hoping to update once a week, and some updates (most at this rate) will contain multiple pages. So far I'm working on the first script which will be 3 comic pages. I also have to do a banner for the webpage which will be on Smackjeeves.com. We had a keenspace one I made a few years ago but I've lost all the information for it and cannot find it. So with a new year we will start fresh!

But while I work on that and deal with job/work stuffs, here is the DA page containing all the old OMN comics that we had on LJ http://omn-comic.deviantart.com/ As the comic goes on I'll see if I can revive that too.

I'm hoping to finish the pages this weekend but we'll see how it pans out. I'm very excited to finally have a webcomic up and give OMN the chance it deserves.

I Comic, Therefore I Am.

Hello all!

In the busy hustle and bustle of the holiday season I have finally put together my illustrated guide to my comic work process. I origianly meant this to be a comic but I had so much to say that I figured an illustrated guide would be more appropriate. But it's done and ready for your enjoyment. This is not meant to be a 'how to' guide, this merely shows what I do and why. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

For fun drawing I did for myself last night. The guy is the new human form of Theolyn, Alencia's un-dead cat companion. More will be revealed about these two when I do Alencia's own comics. Which won't be fore a while since I want/need to finish Kale's story first.

OH SWEET BABY JESUS IT'S FINALLY DONE.

Artist Trading Cards

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since my last post here but between DA, FA, facebook, OMN LJ, and my VCU blog (which is also a summer blog now) I have a lot places to post art ^^;

Today I want to talk about Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs for short. It's this cool thing where you and someone else draw on a small card made of any paper you like and you trade them. It's a great way to have a piece of art from another artist without having to draw a huge picture. And it's so verstile, you can use collage, paint, markers, ink, have movable parts, cover it in resin, anything you want! Recently my good friend LostReach had an ATC trade set up that I participated in.

Today I received my half of the trade

She drew my Scion:Hero character Ramla, and I LOVE IT!

My half of the trade was her steampunk villain 'Lady Chimera'

I've also been invited to participate in an ATC comunity on DA called ATC Fanatics I've got a few cards faved on their page and from there people can see what they like and talk to the artist who did them about trading that card. It's a great idea and I'm working hard on new cards. I've also got an OMN comic page to do today since I finished my paper early but I plan on finishing the Finley Manor crew photo portraits up and taking cool photos with them.

I'm off for now! I'll be back later with some arts C:

Pictures and Plans

Here's a few new 'finished' pieces from Deviantart that I've done recently.
I love markers <3


Super Friends by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

Here's a new character I'm developing as a villain for my half elf Kale. She still doesn't' have a name yet.

I wanna be evil I wanna be bad by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

So after this weekend I've got four more weeks at school. It's a little worrying because I wanted to redo a few design projects and touch up some drawing projects so I'm gonna have to manage my time wisely. I've also written up a schedule for when I'm taking what objects home from my dorm. It pays to organize, even though dad says "do it all at once, that's what I got the truck for!" :P

I also got a new sketchbook! (always happy news) It's a bigger hardcover, thicker than I usually get, sketchbook so I'm hoping it lasts a little longer than the micron pen books I've been getting. (They're nice but pretty thin so I go through them quickly).
I also want to decorate it but I'm not sure what to put on it yet. The cover is textured so it might not take stickers so well...

To do this weekend:
+ work on book jacket project
+ prime canvas and do color tests for painting
+ finish Alex's T-shirt design sketches and prepair for scanning
+ tweak previous design poster project (get it printed?)


I've also been thinking about my plans for the summer.
(without job)
+ work on Clayton Chronicles comic
+ do Cubeecraft toys of whole Clayton Chronicles cast
+ finish bookmarks from last summer and do new ones
+ work on layouts for Clockwork Queen
+ research getting web-space/web-page
+ Do downloadable wallpapers for comics
+ save up money for an 11"x17" scanner (almost there!)
+ Start working on pitch packet for Clayton Chronicles
+ Rework Clockwork Queen pitch packet
(with job)
+ work on Clayton Chronicles
+ research getting web-space
+ save up for scanner and other tools
+ CWQ layouts?
+ Start working on pitch packet for Clayton Chronicles

That's the plan

CWQ- Samantha Sketches by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

Here are some sketches I uploaded last night of Samantha Carlouso before she became an airship captain. She's had a hard life.

Practice Comic and some CWQ

Just posted up a two page comic I did for practice over at Deviantart.com


Layla Fight by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

I've also been working on some Clockwork Queen work today. I finally have a design for the scientist who gives Samantha her 'eye'. I'm very excited :D I wasn't going to to post the sketches but I will when I'm done. I love seeing other people's progress and production sketches so I might as well return the favor.

I'm also entering a poster contest over here. I hope I make the deadline. (Yay Nostalgia Critic!)

A few new pictures fresh from college!

A few Ramla/Scion pictures I've been doing this week. I love the first one so much. Saturday is badass in his skull paint. Click the pictures to see them in full view on Deviantart! :D

As always, please don't take, steal, reuse, or distribute my artwork. It's here for everyone to enjoy :D

What kind of Bunny are you?

A new Spork Bunny themed picture:



Also on Deviantart

A DA facelift, bookmarks and stickers

I decided to make a new ID for my Deviantart page today:



Or see it here with commentary! The colors remind me of Magnito now that's done but that's not a bad thing.

I've got batch 3 of the Clayton Chronicles bookmarks drawn and inked. This is the next four in the series. I think that will be all for now, I don't want to make too many for now. Next I'll be doing about 4 or so Clockwork Queen bookmarks and a sticker. The sticker will be a chibi version of Sarah Winters (as a robot) with a little gear for a halo then it will say "Clockwork Queen" underneath it. I have it drawn and inked already, I just need to scan and color it and put the title underneath it. I'm really excited. I plan on making the stickers through Paper Forest eventually.

Well I better head off now, I can hear a storm coming outside : / I hate summer storms but we do need the rain...
