These are sketches of the protagonist of that early attempt at a webcomic. I don’t believe I ever gave her a name. The weird clown is just a bonus.

Beginning a New Sketchbook
Well, it’s not really a new sketchbook. Just new as far as posting images here. But you knew that. I’m pretty sure that all the work in here was done in 2003.
Not much to say about this page. It’s primarily inking practice, playing with my Micron pens.
Sermon
It’s only coincidental that this sketch ended up appearing on Sunday. Or at least I didn’t plan for it to show up today. I usually load a few dozen sketches at one time and then comment on them one at a time. This sketch was done for the cover of the church bulletin but never used. This was also the last sketch in this particular sketchbook. I’m pretty sure I did it in late 2005.
Tomorrow I’ll be showcasing another resurrected being. (And his spawn.) One generally held in less esteem than the Nazarene here.
Sacrament
This was the illustration I drew for the cover of the first church bulletin I laid out for Nizzibet’s church. For the most part I’ve used public domain art and photos for the covers. I’d initially intended to do a lot more illustration work; the Bible is full of great scenes to draw after all; but the more I thought about it the less most of those great scenes seemed appropriate for church. The stuff I enjoying drawing; the conflict, the death, the plagues, the sex – just not the sort of thing most churchgoers are ready for on a Sunday morning.
The Devil Himself
Coming up with a design for a giant sized version of the Devil was tricky. On the one hand, ol’ Scratch is supposed be almost omnipotent so becoming big and mean enough to throw down to with Godzilla should be easy for him. On the other hand, any being that powerful should be able to kick Godzilla’s ass. And isn’t Satan after human souls? Why would he waste time messing with an atomic lizard? It’s questions like that that probably prevented the movie from being made in the first place.
The finished version is here.
Devilfish
The finished version of this critter is found here. (As of 5:13 this morning it had been viewed 666 times. Heh.)
Devil Spider
Devil Bird
Apparently, one of the movies that Toho (the studio that produces the Godzilla movies) considered making was Godzilla vs. the Devil. Inspired by the popularity of The Exorcist and The Omen, it was to feature Godzilla fighting a bunch of giant hellspawned creatures before he took on Satan himself. Considering how goofy and weird the 1970’s Godzilla movies were I imagine Godzilla vs. the Devil could have been a classic of goofy cinema.
The finished version of the this illustration can be found here.
Leviathan
Finished version here.
Megalon
Megalon fought Godzilla once in Godzilla vs. Megalon, the thirteenth film in the Godzilla series. I originally saw the film at a drive-in with my family when I was a kid.
I watched the film on tape recently. It’s enjoyable in a what-the-hell sort of way.
This sketch (from, I think, 2005) represents an attempt to do a portrait of the monster. I don’t think it’s a bad job but I didn’t like it enough to add ink and color.
