WIP: No Duck’s Land SE

Last post for today I promise, but I could not let today pass without acknowledging the birthday of my wife—the inspiration for Battle Duck, and the best thing to ever happen to me. She asks the important questions, like “when Optimus Prime transforms into a robot, where does his trailer go?” She helps my creative process (looking over my shoulder as I draw Dr. Jekyll quaffing her fateful potion and making helpful “glug glug” noises), chooses watching Grimlock G1 episodes over Jura...

Welcome November!

Hello and welcome to the other side of Spooky Season!  I want to thank everyone for their support and welcome the new members who may have joined for the first time last month.  

This piece is my attempt at a fall outfit for Jan.  Jan has a pretty specific color palette for her civilian wear (more on that later)  which lends itself to lots of spring and summer outfits, but not as much for fall, as earth tones and oranges are among the colors she doesn't wear.  (...

Commission: Marvel Team-Up #107

UPDATE 12/28/21--The commissioner pointed out a couple of errors in the text.  The corrected version is now available.

ORIGINAL POST:  Welcome to November!  I would have posted this a little earlier but I usually wait at least a month after a commission is delivered before sharing it to give the client some exclusivity and this didn't really seem to fit in with the Halloween season.

Die-Hard Savage She-Hulk fans will recognize this as an expansion of the Shulk-Out s...

Jinkies! Bonus Image--Legionnaire Exclusive

I don't do post reversion images often, but this one seemed like a no brainer.  Thank you for all your support--October was rough on the personal front but great artwise.  Thanks again.

Halloween 2K21--Jinkies!

Velma's been separated from the others and the whole gang is threatened.  Desperate times call for desperate measures--and a bit of freshly squeezed wolfsbane!

This is a sequence I've planned to do since I did the original versions of pages one and eight several years ago!  I hope you like it--and have a happy, safe, spooktacular Halloween!

Halloween 2021--Jinkies! Lettered Version

EDIT 22.10.01:  Per my policy on fan art, I'm making this whole sequence public on my dA at the end of the month.  But I wanted the Battle Duck Brigade to be able to see the lettered version before that, so here it is!  And maybe a nice trip down memory lane for the rest of you who saw it last year.

Original Post: Happy Halloween!  Here's a lettered version of the Velma sequence, just for the Crusaders and Legionnaires!  It's been a crazy productive month and I'...

In Her Father's Footsteps color version!

Here's a bonus for the crusaders and legionnaires:  The Evie Taylor Wolf Man homage in full color!  Unlike the Frankenstein sequence which I did in grayscale and then applied a noir effect to to get that classic movie feel, this one I did in full color first!  Which do you prefer?

The Wolf Man's Daughter: In Her Father's Footsteps

I think at this point we can't commemorate the spooky season without Evie Taylor, the Wolf Man's daughter, even if she's not the subject of her own sequence.  Here's an homage to the first transformation of the original Wolf Man!  Are you folks checking out any classic monster movies this weekend?  Arooo!

Throwback Thursday: Two Princesses

Not that old, but here's the big Halloween sequence from last year, featuring the twins, Renee and Ronnie Kane.  I mentioned earlier I was unhappy with the final image, which was admittedly rushed to meet the deadline for Halloween, so I redid it.  Just so you don't have to go digging through the archives, I'm posting it with the rest of the sequence for context.  The original version of the redone image is at the very end for comparison.  What do you think?  An impro...

Jan's Halloween Costume 2021

As we close in on Halloween, here's a look at the costume Jan is wearing this year!  Still loving WandaVision, especially with its own Halloween episode!  

Do any of you have fun plans for this weekend?

Halloween 2K21: Jinkies! 8 of 8

Here's the final piece of the Velma sequence--again based on a drawing when I first hatched the idea in 2018.  I hope you've enjoyed this journey through the full moon phase of the spookiest month of the year!  I hope to have a few other goodies for the actual week of Halloween.  In the meantime, this sequence will be posted together in full for all Patrons on Halloween!  Aroooo!

Halloween 2k21: Jinkies! Page 7 of 8

I've been toying with doing a Velma sequence for a loooooog time--since the era of the live action movies, in fact--and the last panel on this page is a shot that has always been  part of that idea in whatever form it takes.

Halloween update: Page 5 complete!

VERY productive day yesterday! Finished 3 pages to the sequence! Capped this one off last evening but didn’t want to spam you folks too much. I only have one more page to finish in the next four days! It needs more work than any of these did as it hasn’t even been inked yet, but even with working on the house today and returning to work tomorrow I think I can do it! Very exciting!


Full page without lighting effects posted below as usual. I hope those of you who hav...

Full Res Fan Art Friday--Jeepers!

I finished ol' Danger Prone Daphne earlier this week and I'm pretty pleased with it.  (I've been taking in waaaay too much Scooby Doo lately--I've been letting some of the animated movies run while I work on the Velma Halloween sequence.)  Early access, alternate backdrop and full res for all my faithful Patrons.  Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday—Two Princesses Redux

I’m planning to make the “two princesses” werewolf sequence available as a pay per view for non subscribers this month but when I posted the preview, which included the final image, a follower who’s been following me for a long time and whose opinion I respect thought the wolves needed work. Frankly, I agree—it was the end of the month when I did the original and I was not happy. The above is a sketch ver version two to cap off the series. What do you think?

Halloween Progress Report

Another stage complete and scheduled for posting! Velma’s full werewolf form is revealed in pinup four at midnight on the final night of the lunar cycle.. As a treat for you Legionnaires, here’s a lower res version without lighting effects. The version posting later this month will have the effects added and also be at full size.

Happy October!

It's my favorite month!  Are you all excited?

Got a little project for Halloween this year again--and here's the first image!  It might look a little familiar as I did a colored pencil version in the early days of the Patreon.  It's a concept I'm finally giving life--(It's Aliiiiiiiiiive!!) 

More to come with the full moon!

What's your favorite Halloween tradition?

Throwback Thursday--Uncanny X-Hulk Special Edition

I think I shared with some of you that I was applying more finished lines and colors to my Marvel Girl hulkout piece from awhile back.  Here's the finished result!  Added some Kirby dots and psychokinetic feedback to it as well.  Which do you like better?
