Angel & Faith comic S9, issue 20
I decided to go with a slightly pulp-ish syle for the lighting and rendering, because of the lighter context in the image.
Uggibjörn, Plush Monster
I've been wanting to bring Uggibjörn into the three dimensional world since I first created him for my print "The Perils of Their Acquaintance". I collaborated with Sara at S. Auman Smith Plush, to finally bring him to life. Sara did a great job realizing my sketches and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
The name Uggibjörn is constructed of two separate words. Uggi means "fear/fearsom" in old Icelandic and the Nordic name, Björn, which means "bear". I chose that combination because I thought it flowed well, sounded like a proper name, and in English it still has a connotation because of the sound of "Uggi", or "oogie".
I had small number made (7), and they are currently for sale on my website.
My front and back design for the plushie. The original design of the monster was altered from the print, so that it was better formatted for being made in felt.

Spike variant cover, issue 1 of 5
Dark Horse requested that I use a more comic bookish look for these Spike covers, to create a better visual separation between my variants and the main cover art. I essentially used my sequential style, but I drew/colored it all in Photoshop rather than Illustrator, which had been my typical means of drawing sequential art. After finishing this cover, I realized I had gone a little too thick on some of the line art...so subsequent covers, for this series, will be on a line-weight diet.
By request, I'm adding the original line art, click through to see it...
