Sketches of Jenny Tsunami in action!

Don’t Shake the Baby
I’m guessing that I used this one for the cover of one of the December issues of the church bulletin.
Jenny Tsuami
Jenny Tsunami again.
JT and the Natives
This is the base drawing for a portrait of Mr. Jon Turner, the man who originally got me doing illustrations for The Black Seal. I didn’t get any reference photos of him when I did contributors’ portraits back in 2004 so he missed out on being featured on the website. A little over two years later I finally got the photos I needed and did a portrait. I’ve no idea if it will ever see print.
Mr. Conan of Cimmeria
I first read some of Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories for the first time at the end of 2006. I’d already been exposed to the character via the Marvel comic series (which I never actually read but did skim the art whenever a new issue came out) and the Schwarzenegger films. By the time I read the stories the movies were fuzzy recollections. I’d enjoyed them but not enough to replay them in my mind and fix them in memory.
I did this sketch to see if I could find a Conan that was different than the one I knew from comics, especially John Buscema illustrated comics. I don’t think I did.
Kneel
Another illustration for the cover of the church bulletin.
Children
I can’t remember what inspired the drawing but I ended up using it for the cover of the church bulletin the next week.
Giant Whatsit
Can’t tell you what it is, other than enormous. Big as a bread factory.
I probably should have drawn the bread factory to give scale to the thing.
Again Dagon
Somewhere back in the archives is the original version of Grandfather (Grandmother?) Dagon here. I’m not sure where that sketch is. It had gotten so smudged that doing a new version seemed a better idea than trying to finish the original.
Back in Use
I’m not sure when the Woggle Bug pill label illustrations (posted yesterday) were done but there’s obviously a date on this page. For whatever reason the sketchbook was set aside for at least a year, probably longer. I started dating sketches after I started posting here and it became obvious how imprecise my memory is.
