Random old school pencil sketch
I've been Posting A lot of marker sketches, so I thought I'd mix it up & post a pencil drawing I did, with a back story, That I call Hell's Ventriloquist. Its 8x10, pencil & colored pencil, that I scanned into illustrator & cleaned up for a tshirt design. It was inspired by a story I once was told, that was used to scare little children into behaving. There was once a brilliant Ventriloquist in the 1800's named Compari. He was an amazing performer, who loved his art. The only thing Compari loved more ,was children, so he would fashion his dolls after the little children he entertained. You see, he was a very homely & shy man, and a very lonely one, who could never have children of his own. But when he performed, children would come from all around to see Compari & he couldn't be happier. As his success grew so did his notoriety, which brought more attention to the fact that wherever the ventriloquist went, child disappearances seemed to increase as well. When they finally had Compari hanged, they found the bodies of 66 children underneath the floorboards of his house, as well as 10-15 more in a ditch behind his home. All of them found with a rusty nail lodged into the temple of the tiny skulls. Compari never uttered a word to the authorities even when they snapped his neck. Here's some cute little DC characters Sketch cards. Watercolors / markers Just some random walking dead (comic book) head sketches... Pentel Pocket brush & copics This is just a bunch of random Copic marker sketches... I think I did these when I first got my copics & was learning how to use them... Here's an old Valkyrie marker sketch that I did with prismacolor markers ( before I got my copics!) SO MUCH FUN! Great expo, bigger, but still has that personal feel. All cons have there own place, some cons are so busy you can't get ahold of your favorite artists... That's where the long beach comic expo shines, you can not only get great sketches from your favorite artists, but you can also chat with them, when normally that would be an impossible thing. So if you are having a hard time getting sketches , signatures, artwork etc. You need to hit up the long beach comic expo. Here's a harley Quinn sketch from yesterday at the Long Beach Comic Expo! Day 2 is about to commence! Let me know if you need a sketch. Artist Alley table #o8 See you there! Maybe? |
