Here we have a quick layout sketch for a  moody subterranean or sewer scene.

Wind of the Gods Integration: Manhunter

Developed drawings of DC Comics Manhunter.  I beleive this version was Mark Shaw.  It could just as easily be one of the robotic versions.  I dig big red robots.

The Debt Ceiling/Limit Explained

I try to be informed as much as possible, but I feel like I'd never heard the phrase "debt ceiling" before this year.  This video explains a lot.

From the Archives: Apprentice

Character development sketches for a young acolyte in a fantasy story.  He is an assistant to a monk who turns out to be a powerful wizard.  I believe this character and the villain wizard exist in the same world.  It's been awhile and sometimes the stories blur together.

Wind of the Gods Integration: Alpha Flight

This is the first time all of these pieces have appeared in the same place at the same time.  They have been posted elsewhere, but in the spirit of integration, I would like them present here as well so that they are all together.

This developmental sketch is an unused character portrait from the Thief-centric RPG supplement I worked on at 3am Games.

From the Archives: Wall of Vegetation

From my time at 3am Games, developmental sketches for a magickal monster, the Wall of Vegetation.  I forget exactly what its weakness was, but I know that swords and most sharp weapons were fairly useless against it.  If cut, it would just grow back thicker.

Wind of the Gods Integration: DC Comics Deadshot

Classic Deadshot from the DC Comics series Suicide Squad.  I was also a big fan of him in the Secret Six series.

From the Archives: Villain Sketch

Here is a sketch for a villain from a fantasy story I was working on some time ago.  I don't have that material in front of me, but I believe we was going to an evil mage masquerading as a sheriff or a swordsman.

At Zombie Bites, this piece was Exhumed and reinvestigated with color in December 2013.  Check out the Exhumed image here.

2013 Integration and Consolidation

At the end of 2011, I began Wind of the Gods, a Tumblr blog to host all of my comic book related work.  This was an act of expansion, seeking a home for that work and a place to collect it online.  At the time I was giving each genre of work I create it's own space: my horror work at Zombie Bites, my spiritual work at Trail of Breadcrumbs.  I've posted to Wind of the Gods over the past year but due to time constraints, I need to consolidate my work.  My initial seperation was to give each genre I worked in its own play space, but now the time has come to integrate.

Beginning this week, I am absorbing Wind of the Gods into EXP3 and will be posting that comic book artwork here.  I'm hoping that this integration will save me some time and make EXP3 more of a nexus for all of my artwork.  It all boils down to limited time.  There is much work to be done and one less blog makes a world of difference on the clock.  I'll be leaving Wind of the Gods in place as an archive, but I will be integrating and condensing the work from those posts here with a link to the original posts.  

Thanks for reading and viewing!
