Belated, as Tara tends to drag poor Tess somewhere she doesn't want to go.

D02: DOS DIABLOS!

2012-01-29T13:26:00.003-05:00

Music inspired by the game "Tempura of The Dead", by 8-Bit Fanatics.Original composition by yours truly. Give it a listen!

D01: WE SHALL TRIUMPH

2012-01-17T20:57:00.007-05:00

Man, Dormammu. You're so positive-minded.----------Yep, it's 2012. Two to three weeks in, no less! I've got myself another two or so weeks to clear EVERYTHING off my desk, so bear with me. I will more than likely try to make tandem posts between here, DA, Tumblr, and my Twitter feed. Don't know exactly how that'll happen, but it will at least consolidate a lot of this randomized

C14: WISH, HOPE, SING...

2011-12-12T18:46:00.002-05:00

Already, Tara is hoping for better things with this new year. Me, too -- 2012 can't get here soon enough!

C13: DAY OF THE DEAD

2011-11-02T19:16:00.004-04:00

Trying my damndest to turn things around. 2011, you will NOT have me without a fight!First & foremost -- getting work on Skullgirls done!Second, a schedule set for 2012, starting in NYC and finishing... well, in NYCC next Fall. The Demon Mages turned ten this year, but who would really know? Jeezus.Third, clearing my desk of all the over over OVER OVER due work I still have for the remainder

C12: NYCC 2011 pt. 0

2011-10-17T23:32:00.005-04:00

Clockwise from the black guy (that's me, crybringer) in the middle:Momiji Mao (Mamomiji)Maiko KuboRyusuke Hamamoto (Ryu Moto)Randy AuBukubu Okawa (Bkub)Really, this picture says a lot about New York Comic Con this year. It was chaotic, but full of really REALLY REALLY cool people, excellent eats, and just in general one of my favorite places to be -- right in the middle of the chaos. As soon as

C11: NOT FORGOTTEN

2011-08-17T09:58:00.006-04:00

Merely sidestepped by a new Tumblr page. But I still dig you, Blogspot. Here's kindling for the smoldering furnace. [Ziggy, and an older character "Sara", ressurected.] [See! Not EVERYTHING I draw is saucy anime girls. Ok, so there's the making of one there, but that doesn't count!] [Various doodles, been forcing myself to fill a page instead of just drop something in the corner of a fax

C10: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

2011-08-02T15:11:00.006-04:00

The Demon Mages made it to year ten today! They've come a long way, after thousands of sketches, pictures and designs, five major rewrites, dozens of short stories, even a few video game drafts. It's been nothing but fun the whole way, but from here on out, it gets serious. Good work, ladies. Let's keep it moving.

C09: LITTLE HANDS

2011-07-05T09:57:00.005-04:00

Japanator and reports from Japan Expo from this past June already confirm it:"Little Hands" is a compilation book with popular and well known Japanese artists, talented French and Thai creators -- and yours truly representing USA.All proceeds go to the Japan Red Cross, each copy is available at $10 USD. Not only the listed sites, but Hendane.com and affiliates will have copies available.Visit

C08: CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF

2011-06-24T11:50:00.008-04:00

I am still around, just trying to move chains as much as possible. The halfway point of the year is almost upon us!Tanabata is around the corner, and Tara is SO ready!Quite the assortment of faces here. Summer has already begun, some ridiculous weather patterns have come through already. Oh, how I wish I was on the beach instead...[Testing to see if this blog feature will work...][Yeah, just a

C07: SEE ALSO

2011-05-06T10:36:00.005-04:00

Been neglectful of the blog lately. Let's fix that.Yeah I'm hype for the Nintendo 3DS. Yeah I'm going to get a Japanese version for Senran Kagura. Did I forget to mention I like ninjas? And platforming/fighting games? And cute moeblobs? A lot?!Tara, actually doing her job as a medic in a rejected image. She's extra skinny here, but still very cute. I like the earnestness in her face.I've

C06: CLEAR SKIES AHEAD

2011-04-05T20:32:00.002-04:00

YES! Day job has returned to normal! Money is in the bank, a trip to New York City this weekend is in the works. Things are already looking up![A selection from my still-being-worked-on commissions list.]-That said, unfortunately San Diego Comic Con is off the books. There was no way between getting set for Japan, and the events afterward for me to put in for attendee badge or pros

C05: SEEING STARS

2011-03-23T12:04:00.003-04:00

Game screen mock-ups, I've been doing since I was in grade school. Something to keep me going while work gets heavy with the response (and overreaction) to the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. Five points to whoever can spot the reference!Money is back in the coffers, so way later than expected, but still on the books is a potential podcast. Sit tight!

C04: EXPLOSIVE

2011-03-04T09:32:00.007-05:00

Heyoo all.January was a disaster.February was a warzone.March has begun in earnest to bring myself back into fighting shape.Through the generosity of my longtime friend and neighbor, "Shonuff44", I'm back in the tablet business with a like-brand-new Intuos 3! All settings calibrated, loving the extra 1x2 inches from my old Graphire 4 -- stylus is as heavy as a Magnum Sharpie, but with added

C03: BROKEN TABLET

2011-02-23T10:16:00.003-05:00

To do list:-Buy new tablet, since my 5 year old Graphire 4 died on Valentine's Day. Using markers has been very awesome, but I'm woefully out of practice, and have too much work riding on the digital end right now.-Invest in a new laptop, since this 2 year old machine keeps flickering and overheats at the mere breath of a video/youtube clip/DVD playback.-Invest seriously in a desktop so I don't

C02: CARBON DIOXIDE

2011-02-10T16:43:00.005-05:00

Because the title number is C-0-2! Get it?! Hahahah--okay.A month's gone by, and in that span I managed to put together my submission for Udon's Mega Man Tribute -- waiting to see if that got accepted.I was a staff member at Magfest 9, and got to chat with composer Danny "Super Meat Boy" Baranowsky, and meet Hiroki "Secret of Mana" Kikuta! Aces!I ventured out with the editors of Angry Viking

C01: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2011-01-10T09:25:00.005-05:00

Hello all! It's yours truly, from his trip overseas to Japan! Yes, the guy in the Ravens skully. That's me.2010 had it's share of highs and lows, but overall I'd set a modest goal for myself -- to outdo my share of work for 2009 -- and frankly, blew the doors off the hinges!So, again my resolution is simple: make 2011 a special year, improve on the previous year's successes and make some

B37: LAZING ABOUT

2010-12-09T22:08:00.003-05:00

Hah, I can't afford to do that! Neither can Tess. Three weeks till Tokyo!

B36: MUCH THANKS

2010-11-24T10:26:00.009-05:00

Much thanks that I'm back in the saddle and ready for 2011! Much thanks for hindsight that says "I did a lot of really, REALLY impressive artwork this year!"Much thanks to the people willing to take a chance on me, whether it was a success or a failure.Much thanks for having nothing but sheer persistance and a bitter refusal to quit.Much thanks to everyone who follows my work, no matter who you

B35: COMING TO A CLOSE

2010-11-18T23:15:00.002-05:00

The year's almost over already! Relax while you can, DM's... relax while you can...

B34: ALL IS NOT LOST

2010-11-10T13:19:00.004-05:00

For Ari is here, fresh from Nekocon! It was actually a pretty strong table presence there! Angry Viking Press was there in form, if not spirit. A good way to end a good year.Sketchcards will definitely be a fixture of regular drawing, much less conventions from now on!

B33: INTERIM ODYSSEY

2010-10-27T11:36:00.007-04:00

What's helped me get through the long days & nights on the road & in the air? Etrian Odyssey III! Easily the best in the series, I think.@JohnnyLamonte:New York Comic Con & Wizard World New England were fun shows, despite a lot of minor irritations. The crowd at NYCC was ABYSSMAL. Even on a Sunday, you had to bump and shove a lot of people to get around. NYC itself is my playground, and any

B32: NEW YORK TO BOSTON

2010-10-25T21:16:00.003-04:00

This week, a roundup of the past two weeks worth of insanity at New York Comic Con/Anime Festival (back in October 8th-10th) and Wizard World New England (October 15th-17th.)First up, Tess and Tara from WWNE! Not bad for a first outing -- the convention, I mean!

B31: BLOODY MEMORY

2010-10-04T23:16:00.001-04:00

Been feeling out of sorts for awhile now. This oughta straighten things out.

B30: SETTING A NEW TONE

2010-09-28T16:06:00.002-04:00

Tess, with a nice halftone coating. Judging from this and the previous R-Type pic, I have a completely simple and reliable toning method now. NOW, I'm excited!!!(Hahah, hasty comment entry at the last possible moment at work. ERASED.)

B29: THAT FELT GOOD, DIDN'T IT?

2010-09-23T10:16:00.002-04:00

Just making sure Juri's on all my blogs.

B28: ADDENDUM

2010-09-20T12:05:00.002-04:00

(And yet, I don't quite think I'm using the word "Addendum" like it's supposed to be used... ah, well.)TEXT ALERT: This is a checklist/reminder/self-admonishment of what's on my desk currently, what's due and where I'm going in the next few months.[WORK DUE]-12 page comic, "Clockwork Loveletter" -- all pages pencilled, dialogue entered, just have to polish the SOB off. Over a month overdue.-

B27: R-9R SLEEPLESS NIGHT

2010-09-13T15:33:00.004-04:00

This made the rounds on my DA page and Pixiv BEFORE getting here!? Craziness.What's good though is that I found an easy way of achieving the tones I want -- or at least, something close to it. Soon as I figure out how to get bigger dots at the sharpness I'm looking for, it'll all fall into place. For now, it's just about getting things consistent. Onward!

B26: NO MONEY FUN

2010-09-09T20:34:00.003-04:00

Off to SPX this weekend for a day-trip! Still got a LOT of stuff to finish up in the meantime.

B25: PERFECT!

2010-09-02T19:32:00.005-04:00

August is over! Thank goodness, 'cause that wasn't fun! What WAS a ton of fun was this gift art for a special friend of mine... Tasty looking parfait, huh?

B24: NEW FRONTIER?

2010-08-29T15:52:00.002-04:00

Or at least, a reeinforcement of my existing techniques.More from the new sketchbook. Or shoved in the sketchbook, in most cases...

B23: IT'S NOT ABOUT FALLING OFF

2010-08-21T00:45:00.005-04:00

But, getting back on! Here's a look at the first few pages of a new sketchbook I started... in a book that's physically 12 years old. Get a whiff of that old-book-smell.

B22: EXPENDABLE

2010-08-12T12:52:00.002-04:00

Bill Rizer, from Contra. Dude, get the spread gun, don't get shot with it!

B21: OMNIBUS

2010-08-05T10:28:00.007-04:00

Gotta get back on the weekly posting cycle. It's sad that whole months have gone by with me falling off the proverbial horse. SO, here's some knick-knacks from the weeks prior, during and post-SDCC!More next week! Seriously!

Less about art, and more of a self-reminder:-Angry Viking Press.com is wholly updated! Now "Angry Viking Entertainment", we're setting up for digital media to go up -- comics, specials, all sorts of extras! Check it out and join the forums while you're at it!-San Diego Comic Con 2010 is next week, and surrounding that is about five days of solid vacation time. I hope to shake some hands, get

2010-07-07T11:20:00.004-04:00

A week ago was a CRUSHING triple-deadline. Two of those pieces though, you'll be able to see at SDCC and of all things... Comiket 78. Here's a sampler.

B17: SKETCH IT OUT

2010-06-23T16:22:00.003-04:00

More sketches from this past week-and-a-half's take from AMA/Anime Next. Hooray progress!

B16: EXCELLENT

2010-06-17T12:44:00.006-04:00

Otomedius Excellent. U.S. release confirmed. WHAT?Guess it's time to dig into the archives and get the fanart posted. Konami knew I was so starved for a Gradius game, that I'd take anything. ANYTHING. Those guys....

B15: OPERATION FARAWAY

2010-05-28T23:38:00.004-04:00

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Gradius, my absolute favorite video game of all... 3 years in the making, is a complete concept album! Original tracks inspired by, and remixes of some of the most recognizable music from Konami's flagship shooter (plus some obscure favorites from other worthwhile Konami shmups.) "OPERATION FARAWAY", I propose to release by the end of the year in a physical

B14: @ THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

2010-05-20T10:37:00.002-04:00

Somewhere between then and now, this proposed summer Magfest event

B13: FAR TOO LONG

2010-04-21T22:43:00.002-04:00

Far too long since the last post. Gonna keep it short and sweet -- so LISTEN UP!

PAUSE!

2010-03-11T21:33:00.002-05:00

Hey, just checking in. I'm working hard to complete The Demon Mages vol. 1, so I'm afraid after a nice run on February, updates will be few and far between for March.

B12: DM's FLYERS #4 -- TARA

2010-02-26T12:26:00.003-05:00

This was a fun exercise! I hope y'all liked the change of tune here, and I hope to deliver more short comics like this in the next week or two.

So very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very tired of snow.Clockwise from top left:-Continuing work on commission from last year's MTAC. Way late, but out of control color work. I want this one to count!-Sketchwork for another request, a Draenei mage. No, I don't play WoW.-A portrait, semi-cute styled bust for a friend's business card. This'll look good! :)

B06: DEBTS TO SOCIETY

2010-02-04T21:50:00.004-05:00

I think this all-in-one image format should work out fine.Here, clockwise from top to bottom is a color example of the current commission I'm working on. Next is the brutally delicious Tira, from Soul Calibur. And, with maybe a better sized version later is a design sheet for my mecha musume, Hikaru. Hard to believe, it's been nearly a year since I played with those characters...

B05: ART JAM

2010-02-01T11:00:00.003-05:00

Some samples of the take from Ohayocon this past weekend. These were all during the Art Jam panels from Friday and Saturday night, up on the projectors for live demonstration. I had a TON of fun producing them, which is a notch further in the direction of... well... let's not get TOO ahead of ourselves for now.

B04: THE ZENITH

2010-01-26T22:20:00.006-05:00

Holy smokes. It's like I'm possessed! This BETTER maintain after Ohio!What's insane is that all this has happened in the past THREE DAYS. All 100% digital work. Most of it Photoshop 6.0. Need I repeat it?

B03: OHIO BOUND

2010-01-23T14:22:00.006-05:00

I was bound to be sidetracked at some point. But all the better for it. I'll be riding shotgun into Columbus for Ohayocon next Friday, and won't be back till the following Monday, so this post should tide things over until I get back. Some looks into works-in-progress:A preview of a waaaaay overdue commission request. This WILL be done before I leave.A preview of what I hope will become a

TO ALL VIEWERS

2010-01-11T22:18:00.003-05:00

Hey, I hadn't really stopped to thank everyone who had posted a reply here on this blog. A whole year of posting semi-regularly and having literally a post-a-week is a big step for me. I'm very grateful whenever anyone stops to post a message and appreciate every comment. It might not show, and I'm still a rube sometimes -- but thank you, everyone. -Jason P.S. : Tell your friends about me!

B01: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIGGY

2010-01-09T22:41:00.004-05:00

Not much more to say than that. Enjoy the first new pic of the new year (what, the last post WASN'T new?)Maybe THIS year, I'll consistently post a new pic for each DM's birthday. Maybe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BLOGSPOT

2010-01-07T12:46:00.004-05:00

Hey, we're closing in on a year's time on the blog! Or wait -- are we past that? I think we are!Ah, heck -- we'll just be official about it and ring in the first week of 2010 with new art!Here's to renewed effort, and more on the DM's!

Oh noes! Works in progress from AUSA this past weekend. Love the atmosphere in both of them!

A47: IBARA

2009-11-15T22:08:00.007-05:00

Ibara Sorekara is a game I'm dying to play. I loved Ibara and Battle Garegga to death for the brief times I was able to play them. Good graphic, tough gameplay... and yeah, hot chicks piloting giant boss mechs. I was hoping to go to Japan this winter with a comic in tow, and although that's not going to happen till next year, if there is one doujinshi I'd like to have my name on, it's the Ibara

A46: ROUGH

2009-11-11T21:17:00.004-05:00

National Novel Writing Month is already underway, and much writing's already been clocked in months beforehand. Not much at the moment, but it will be worth it in the end.ALSO!For the past few months, I've been going to the Video Game Zombies Podcast. It's every Wednesday and Sunday night at 9pm. Beware, as it's invasion already garners thousands and thousands (and thousands) of listeners!

Just something quick. It's nice to sketch.

A42: VALKYRIE BRIDE

2009-10-08T13:49:00.005-04:00

A rough sketch for a wraparound cover image. It's to the wedding program book for one of my best friends. Designing the "Valkyrie Bride" robot was the most challenging, but most fun part of it all.

A41: ROCK ON

2009-09-30T22:00:00.005-04:00

Dive bomb, baby. A bigger, more badass Tara embracing her inner heavy metal dark angel.

A38: FIRE WARNING

2009-09-04T09:28:00.012-04:00

The very center of the Evil Range has gone for centuries unexplored, unseen, and unrecorded. From the most remote long range nanospy satellites deployed by the Gradius Royal Army, only this composite image could be extracted. Seconds afterwards, the palm-sized nanospy carrier body was destroyed and the signal automatically cut off before it could give away position to the Bacterians.Early

A37: HANGOVER

2009-08-26T10:17:00.005-04:00

Truth be told, it's been extremely rough since San Diego Comic Con.I willfully go with unpaid leave from work, because... well... it's San Diego Comic Con! The kinds of people I meet there, the places I go throughout Southern California, I make back in epicness what I lose in paychecks! This year I was smarter -- saved up more and budgeted for rent's sake. But losing a week's pay still hurts like

A36: RAY OF HOPE

2009-08-18T12:17:00.012-04:00

Right now:-Working on Demon Mages #2 through 4.-Got another work-for-hire assignment!-Trying to clear my desk of commissions.Not much in the way of doodles or drawings lately, but it's not for lack of effort. I meant to ask though, any of you out there picked up the Darkstalkers Tribute book yet?It's REALLY REALLY good! (And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it!)

A35: OFF THE CUFF

2009-08-06T22:10:00.005-04:00

More of the plucky Guardian, Sylvie. I was playing The Guardian Legend/Guardic Gaiden over the SDCC week, and fell back in love with it. Let's see where this goes, eh?

A34: THE GUARDIAN LEGEND

2009-07-30T11:53:00.008-04:00

Just a quick post. SDCC was a kick in the pants, and I hope to have all my goods together later this weekend. But I mean... c'mon! It's Miria, the Guardian!EDIT, 08-01-09: Miria's not alone! The many looks of the blue Guardian, "Sylvie."

A33: GREETINGS FROM SAN DIEGO!

Been waaaay behind on commissions in favor of comics and staying MOTIVATED. Seems harder and harder as the months go on, which is honestly really scary. I chalk it up to more overblown expectations than absolute lack of work. I AM trying often to juggle three or five different projects at the same time.The mood here is PERFECT. Linework, not so much.

More Gradius! My frothing demand for a next-gen or retro Gradius VI cannot be sated.About 50 frames of animation. Very happy with the juicy bits like the mini-explosions, the electricity -- always felt confident at animating electric arcs -- and the fade-in-fade-out debris. In hindsight, I could have spruced it up with a more interesting background, but the focus was getting the frames and

It's fun to design characters. Here's Hikaru, Chiaki & Mizuho -- expanding on this crazy shmup/STG girls idea. Don't like the color scheme too much for Mizuho, but it's a work in progress. Chiaki looks great. Hikaru's cute.
