The sketch on the left is the first concept sketch I made of the WENCH character that I liked. The sketch on the right is were the momentum was on and I had a short story to illustrate her. This was a two year period of time.

Here is the first short and silent comic book story I did for my WENCH character.

All 15 Black and White illustrations for TOMBS! RPG Manual

I’m very proud of these illustrations. I did these illustrations back in March of 2003. I had a great time doing them. I would love to do more small character illustrations like these again.

Here are all of the illustrations. The finished inks next to the preliminary pencils.

 Mysterious Dr. X Remake

This was a gender-swap comic I did use a Golden Age story of the same title from Startling Comics #v2#1 (4) (December 1940) Pines publications.

The original characters are Dr. X (master of occult science), Cynthia (his niece), and Bob Stone (her fiancé). I gender-swapped Bob for a character I was working on at the time: Mara Virago.
