Princess Diana of Themyscira aka Wonder Woman

Here’s a quick one-day sketch of Diana Prince who is also known as Wonder Woman. I’m a bit on a DC bend right now.  Expect more DC heroes, particularly the Bat family.  I got Batgirl in the works.  Might go towards the 3 remaining Robins I haven’t done.  Might go towards some villains.  And of course the B-man himself.  Any who, I’m still trying to find my ‘style’ so to speak, so expect some variations.

As for Black Carnival stuff, I’m not entirely sure where I want to go with it.  With summer here, I have the time to return to a strip a week, but I’ve considered heavy rewrites and of course more concept art changes.  When I have something more solid, I’ll update everyone.

Mistress Valora, Head of Customer Services and Satisfaction

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , on December 17, 2013| Leave a Comment »

valora3

Mistress Valora is a character from the Black Carnival series.

Valora is half Harpy-half Siren.  The Siren half of her makes her gorgeous and elegant, while the Harpy half of her makes her vicious and unforgiving.  She is the Head of Customer Services and Satisfaction of the Black Carnival, which includes the Carnival entrance.  Her responsibilities include keeping the customers happy and ensuring they’re properly acclimated for the sights they are soon to see.  In the darker shade of her job, she is in charge of ‘correction’ and ‘rehabilitation’ of rowdy customers and disturbers of the peace.  Valora runs majority of her operations from the Carnival brothel that she owns, The Howling Siren.  From there she commands a lethal flock of Harpies, Sirens, and Succubi.  She runs the brothel with her reanimated deceased sister, Delilah, and her head of security, Marraine.

Valora will go to great lengths to find the people who cross her.  She is a mother eagle, who watches her nest with lethal intention.

I’ve drawn Catwoman in the past, but I decided to take this approach a bit more cartoony.  Enjoy

Where Have I Been? Let Me Show You!

Posted in Fig Art, Maintenance, tagged , , , , , on November 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Yikes, I might’ve skipped last week in terms of articles.  Primarily because I’ve been working on a new project that has been taking a lot of time.  I’ve included the video introduction below.  The video is essentially about me starting up a new site sometime in the future that focuses on something a little bit different from this blog.  Check out the video below.

Woo-hoo, that’s my real voice!  Can you believe it?  Probably not exactly what you expected.  But enough about that, back to the real news.  The shift of focus to art from this movie and television blog will certainly have some repercussions to what I’m prioritizing, but overall I think it’s the right move.  [Ha, be sure to ignore the ‘Banana Scoop is dead in the water quote’, it’s more of a humorous observation than a real statement.]  I’ll still be updating Banana Scoop as often as I am now, with only 1 or 2 passionate articles a week.

The other writers are now more like contributors rather than full time writers, being able to use this blog as a creative outlet medium at their own pace and time.  So I still hope you come by every once in a while to check out what we’re up to.  On a side note,  check below to see a time lapse of an art project I’m working on!

Sunday Sketch: Rachel

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , , , , , on September 9, 2012| 2 Comments »

Banana Scoop has a new contributor!  Her name is Rachel and she’ll be posting several times a month.  Not only does she have a lot of opinions on movies, books, video games, she’s also got something Banana Scoop hasn’t had yet: a female perspective on things.  Read more about her joining in the Weekly Newsletter posted later today!

Rachel chose to have a coffee mug as her avatar.  I initially went with a more mature looking coffee cup, but she recommended a softer side, so I added some more innocent features to her.  I had a lot of fun playing with the spilt coffee above, despite if it’s a little bit superfluous   Regardless, I hope she likes her new avatar!

Sunday Sketch: SoGoCJE 2.0

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , , on September 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The Avatar revamps continue.  While Bruce just got an upgrade in animal species, SoGoCJE requested a complete revamp.  From hooded gamer to robot, I rather liked this change.  Primarily because he allowed me to try some really cool things with glowing lights.  I had a lot of fun drawing this one.  Below is a picture of an older version of him.

Sunday Sketch: Bruce 2.0

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , , , , , on August 26, 2012| Leave a Comment »

User Avatars continue their revamp with Bruce losing his lovable, cartoonish feel for a fierce and hardcore update.  I’ve always been ambiguous if he was an ape or a gorilla and I decided to go with the more fierce one.  Bruce loves movies, television, and video games, but his Macbook Pro is probably his most prized possession   Like me, he finds happiness in the simple things like fruits, Adobe Software, and Mac OS.

SoGoCJE is getting a revamp as well, look forward to it next week.  See Bruce’s old look below.

Sunday Sketch: Cameron

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , , , , , on August 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »


This is my second shot at a someone from my Black Circus Series, Cameron.  She’s had a wardrobe change as well as a hair cut.  Drawing women [or regular humans for that manner] is not my forte.  I’ve had much better luck at werewolves and creepy clowns. Be sure to visit my deviant art page for more!  Also see the original Cameron below.

Universidaze: Never Thought It’d End This Way

Posted in Fig Art, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 8, 2012| Leave a Comment »

 

Sadly, this is the last Universidaze comic I’ll publish in a long time.  As school looms closer and closer, I know I need to give up some of the responsibilities I’ve given myself when it comes to this blog.  And after evaluating some of the cost/profit aspects of this blog, Universidaze simply takes too much time for it to be worth it.  If I were a free lance artist who could dedicate his one post a week to Universidaze, it would be doable.  But balancing the 2-4 hour drawing process with 24 other articles a week is simply going to make this blog bleed.

The adventures of Chad and Miles seem to be over for now.  It’s such a shame, considering I’ve grown very fond of the two of them and I feel as though I could’ve done so much more.  The Universidaze tab will remain here for all those who wish to go back and read some of the older comics.  I plan on playing around with the hyperlinks and making the page much nicer as a final send off.  But who knows, maybe they’ll survive the crash.  Maybe they’ll make a comeback.  We can only wish and dream.

Maintenance Update: School Coming Closer Means More Breaks, New Poll, and Calenders

Posted in Maintenance, tagged , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Maintenance Alert!  Time to learn what the scoop is on Banana Scoop.  It’s a relatively light week this week.  This newsletter primarily talks about school coming soon and how things will change in response to that.  Read on below for all the latest news with us.

School Incoming Means Less Banana Scoop

Truth be told, I’m both excited and distraught that school is starting soon.  I get to move back out of my parent’s house, live autonomously for a year, be in the company of other intellectuals, watch a ton of movies and television, party every once in a while, etc..  But there’s one drawback…it’s fcking school.  Studying, studying, studying is the other end of the spectrum.  Huffington Post just recently labeled Georgia Tech as the 24th best University in the World and while I’m definitely proud of that, it entails how competitive the school must be to keep that ranking.

So when all the studying comes around, I’ll likely have less time to do Banana Scoop which means there will be a break or two every couple of months during the hard test weeks.  I’ll do my best to stay on top of things, but you know how things catch up.  I do have a solution or two in mind…which brings me to my next point.

Sunday Sketch: Baelor

The beautiful product of Adobe Illustrator.  This project took about 8 hours.  When  I was working with only Photoshop, I never did anything this distinct, clean, or clear as this.  Illustrator just takes things to a whole new level.  Shadows are easier, lines are clearer, and organizing is all around better.  I’m very excited if this is my first real work with Illustrator, I can only get better right?  I’ll keep you all posted as I continue to draw art like this.

Heavy Influence from Monster Madness.
