This is not a comeback, not by any stretch of the imagination. This is just me flexing my creative muscles a bit. I’ve been working on school and some other projects, but I’ve been feeling that creative bug scratch at me for a little while. This is the result. I want to see this in color, so I’ll be working this on my next break (mid-December). In the meantime, I’ll keep sketching when I have the time.
As I’ve noted, I got sick this month, (did I mention twice? Just checking.), so it has put a pause in my latest GUARDZ! comic. I have a new one queued up, which will be completed in February. In the meantime, I have been working on this piece, which was inspired by the Wipeout games that are on the Playstation consoles. This one should also be done soon, but here it is, as a work in progress. Enjoy!

After a 3-year+ hiatus, GUARDZ! The Comic will be returning on it’s regular, not-quite-monthly schedule. After some consideration, I decided to stick to my old webcomic instead of coming up with a new one, and I have a ton of old and new material to work with so I should be able to stick to some sort of regular schedule. No school means more free time to work on my comics!

I’ve been meaning to try out something new with my site for a while, so viola! Wait …what do you mean nothing’s changed? Actually most of the changes are behind the scenes. But this, by no means, indicates I haven’t been busy. Lately I’ve been experimenting with video effects. That doesn’t mean I’m giving up the whole drawing thing, I’m just switching gears and recharging the batteries for a while.
I’m still working on a few pieces, and I’ve been itching to get back into the tools I know and love. In the meantime, you can see more of my effects work at http://www.youtube.com/user/roqueb
This is a “painted” version of my original Kendra Keel sketch, using Painter IX. I started this color version of my sketch with a Wacom Intuos3, and I finished it with an Intuos4 S (a gift for my birthday).
