Another promo piece for The Bill Collectors, a comic I’m working on in 3D.
This one was started of course in DazStudio 3, where all the characters were posed and rendered separately. After rendering I brought them all into Photoshop and did my usual post work routine which I describe in this earlier Bill Collector post.
Did all kinds of Photoshop Kung-Fu on this one...
This is a piece I made up in Photoshop for Valentine’s Day. I decided to have a little fun with it and finally use some of the free swag I pick up from the design blogs I frequent on a daily basis.
For this one I kind of threw in the kitchen sink and used about every skill I’ve developed.
Monica Rambeau - The Black Captain Marvel
This is a character who has gone by many names – Photon, Pulsar, but most notably, her first code name was Captain Marvel. This character is not nearly as much of a hot mess as most of them.
This isn’t necessarily specific to Blender, but I mention it because it’s the program I’m using to create my models.
In a previous article, I wrote about trying to have my sword model 3D printed at Shapeways.com. Long story short they would not do so because the model in question was a weapon and it was against Dutch law to reproduce a weapon.
I posted a half-assed review of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time: The Gathering Storm on my other site here:
This one is the 12th book in the ridiculously long series, and it isn’t done yet. Arrgh.
Daredvil #504 - Just chillin' after killin' up some folks...
There’s a lot more exciting comics out there than Daredevil these days, and I only write this because after I read the latest issue I realized that I’m about to drop this one.
"But they'll never take...our FREEDOM!!!"
This is a piece I drew for really no reason at all using my Wacom tablet in Photoshop.
Another Black day, another Black superhero. This time we’ll focus on Marvel Comics The Black Panther.
Luke Cage in his old Ghetto Fabulous outfit, spouting off some of his favorite slogans.
Well in honor of Black History Month, I’ve decided to write a few articles on some of the Black Superheroes of comics history. Trust me, some of it is H.A.M. – HOT…ASS…MESS.
Let’s start with one of the most prominent Black superheroes out there today - Luke Cage, Power Man.
Yeah, I drew him in his old-ass loud pimped-out ghetto fabulous get up from back in the day. Nowadays he’s dressed more in the fashion of the day, wearing some kind of bandana with sunglasses and rockin’ a bald head. At least he doesn’t have his pants sagging down around his ass. Sheesh.

I didn’t even know this book existed until I saw it in one of the weekly emails Daz sends out.
Apparently this official guide was written last March (2009) and it covers DazStudio 2.3. Even back then I was probably a little beyond the basics of the book. I spent many frustrating hours in the previous years coming to grips with this program.
