The rough sketch on the top left is probably Black Molly.
The dude with the shades is an adult version of Moe.
Middle left is Black Molly again.
Middle right is Lili Veracruz.
The lady at the bottom is Beastie.

Black Molly and the Wolf
Not feeling too sharp at the moment so I’m just going to post this page without explanations. Feel free to come up with your own.
Drawing from Life
The car with the tree behind it was sketched from my porch on Earl Ave. All of the rest of the figures here were first observed inside my head.
Boralis Redesign
The demon Boralis gets a redesign. I thought the facial striping would make him look, if not scarier, at least weirder.
Super Service
I think I did this guy as an adversary for Beastie. He’s a superpowered secret service agent. Or may FBI agent. Some branch of the government anyway. (Probably not the IRS.)
Illustration Prep
This is a sketch for an illustration in the first issue of the Glyph magazine. The story being illustrated was Mole by Stephen de Bonrepos.
The Same Only Different
This seems to be the same young woman as the one featured in yesterday’s post. I don’t remember what project she might have been part of any better this morning than I did yesterday.
Girl and Her Wolverine
I couldn’t tell you whether these sketches were for a project or not. They look purposeful to me, like I was trying to figure something out, to get a character’s look worked out.
And Even More Beastie
Beastie’s backstory (at least the second one; the first one, done for the trading card set just had her as superheroine cursed with a trio of demon “assistants) was that she was a former child star. She spent five years on a hit comedy as the cute little kid with super powers around whom wackiness ensued. The twist was that she actually had superpowers. She could lift boulders, bend steel bars and walk away from a fiery car crash. Once she stopped being a cute, smart kid her acting career fell apart because, really, she wasn’t much of an actress. Fortunately her parents had been smart with her money so she wasn’t broke. She still had to work because she wasn’t rich either but at least she could choose her work. And having superpowers in Hollywood meant that she often worked doing stunts or as a bodyguard.
The gent with the dreads is/was her agent or maybe her lawyer. I don’t remember now.
The thing with the teeth is Saur Thirteen, one of those government experiments gone horribly wrong.
And More Beastie
Sketching Beastie was (and is) fun. She’s not beautiful, she wears overalls and likes punching big guys into next week (and bigger monsters into next month). What’s not to like about that?
