I haven’t posted any art (that I’ve done) in a while, and don’t have anything new to post right now, so here’s an oldie that has not appeared on my Tumblr before.
This is a redesign of Stargirl and Power Girl (my niece LOVES Stargirl, I love Power Girl) I did a few years ago, and that I’m kinda fond of.
One thing I hate is the ammount of higher-ups some projects need to get approved by, and the internal politics involved, which always ALWAYS makes the quality of the work suffer.
One thing I love is the work enviroment - It’s probably THE best place I’ve ever worked, from the colleagues (many of them former university friends and classmates) to the kind of work we do here.
Apollo with floorshow, Midnighter even more so.
This was suggested by James GF. You can check out his awesome tumblr here!
HOLY WOW.
Not only did you accept my suggestion and made an AMAZING, ASS-KICKING picture out of it (seriously, LOOK at them!), you send people to my blog?? YOU, sir, are awesome, thank you so much!

Seriously, I do not get the hate for this guy. Yes, he could do with a bit more development, but the vast majority of the criticism leveled his way seems to be because he acts the way that any sane human being entirely aware of his own crushability and low resurrection potential should when caught in the middle of people who settle whose turn it is to do the dishes by leveling a city block. Sorry, but I do not see the inclusion of a character who has enough perspective to see that the X-Men are fairly fucked up to be a bad thing. Common sense =/= cowardice.
For bonus points, he’s also supportive of his boyfriend’s choice to be a hero (hell, he’s sometimes keener on the idea than Northstar himself is), is willing to compromise between his desire for something like normality and Northstar’s spandex lifestyle, and has a nice streak of Lois Lane’s “if you think I’m missing out on this photo op while you go punch people, you are fucked in the head” going for him.
So whatever. Even if I’m not entirely thrilled about the possibility of wedding bells, I like him, I like him with Jean-Paul, and I’m hoping Liu fleshes him out a bit more.
Same here.
I always liked the idea of more human characters among the X-Men. I loved Stevie Hunter, Sharon Friedlander and Tom Corsi (what happened to them??). Even though she was a mutant, Cecilia Reyes was a great outside-point-of-view character. Actually she was kinda the reverse-Moira McTaggert (moira being a human character who, im my mind, was practically a super-hero herself). And I liked the idea of Nurse Annie and her son, if only the execution hadn’t been so awful.
Yeah, exactly — it’s just nice to have characters who are bit more grounded and have a different POV on the whole superhero issue, without getting into the usual business of every character who doesn’t have an x-gene being a raging bigot or waiting to stick the knife in.
I think Stevie and Tom are still alive somewhere (last I heard of Tom, he was the PE teacher back in the DeFilippes/Weir New Mutants run), but Sharon was killed by Acolytes ages ago.
Really? Oh, crap… :(
I also should’ve mentioned Kavita Rao - I really like the character, even with the ammount of times she’s been rendered by Greg Land in the last few years.

So after a few weeks on vacation visiting the Husband, I’m back. To start the week off, a crappy cell phone pic of my Eaglemoss miniatures. I’m now officially a collector of the damn things, my wallet be damned.
I can’t believe this. One of the first artists I ever took notice of, when I was a stupid kid who was only interested in bright colored leotard-clad heroes.
Truly, a comics GIANT, without match.
For my friends who don’t speak Portuguese, it says “Feminism is the radical idea that WOMEN are PEOPLE!”
So this is the inked versions of my “Daughters of Future Possible” picture. I’m actually really happy with this one, I may be getting the hang of this thing.
Here. I made it easy for you, Tumblr.
A PSA from your friend and mine, Kevin Church.
It’s simple as that.
Especially dedicated to my friend Northstarfan, who constantly has to struggle with…people with loose standards regarding credit.
This is another WIP, that I’ve been working on for a hile now. It’s coming along slowly, a little bit every now and then. I actually spent a couple of months (on and off, of course) just deciding on the line-up and the layout. And then another long time, sketching on the final sheet of paper, and this is where we’re at right now.
P.S.: Sorry for the super crappy cel phone photo.
So a friend on Facebook posted about the books he has on his “to read” pile, and it got me thinking about the ones I’ve got on queue.
So far (and that’s not counting comics), I have a few of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, Stephen King’s “On Writing”, a couple of Douglas Adam’s compendia (The Hitchhiker’s Guide and the Dirk Gently Omnibus), William Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (I’m dreading this one, it’s over a thousand pages long!), Carl Sagan’s “Billions and Billions” (Brazilian edition), Richard Dawkins’ “The Greatest Show on Earth” (another massive one I’m dreading to start) and Jô Soares’ “As Esganadas” (this is a Brazilian author, renowned for his comedic skills on his books and TV show).
I don’t even know where to start!
