The Loch And The Loam™

Here are a couple of work-in-progress character sketches and logo for The Loch And The Loam, a short story I'm writing and illustrating. Set in a mythical world, the Loch, a sea-dwelling race, and the Loam, a land-dwelling race, are at odds during a long drought. Both groups need water to survive, but when rationing is no longer an option, a war erupts. The main characters, Ocellus and Fleur, find themselves on opposite sides of the battle but soon discover they may have more in common than they thought. Infused with Greek mythology and other fantasy elements, The Loch And The Loam is about facing destiny and finding inner strength. More to come.

Not much to say about this one but I'm happy
with the way it turned out. More to come.

Here's another character from the Spiderman universe, his wife Mary Jane.

Gotham Prep Academy™

Here's the latest project I've been involved in, and it's a collaborative effort with 2 friends/colleagues. Our goal was to develop a cartoon that we'd like to see on the small screen, and eventually pitch it to DC. As we've come to find out (in the later stages of development), the idea isn't new, but we feel we've taken it in a slightly different direction than what may have been previously done.

The concept of taking the Batman universe and showing these characters during their high school years was intriguing for us. A few questions we wanted to tackle were what would these characters look like as teens, what would they study, who would they be friends (or enemies) with, and most importantly, what happens during their formative years that will lead them to become who they become.
