Gearing Up For A New Year

2018 ends at midnight tonight. I did much, much less redesign on this site than I’d planned.

You’ll notice two new links in the header – Mighty Nizz and The Witch Engines. I expect that I will be doing more design on these sites than here at Skookworks – at least until they look like someone has put some thought into them instead of just tossed them up. The sites will still be pretty bare bones. These are long term projects that I won’t be able to focus on for a while but I own the domains and I hate generic placeholder pages. I’ve moved most of my other pages to the Archives.

2019 will be a busier one postingwise. I will be posting a sketch a day. Each sketch is being done in a half hour or less. Most of them will be black and white drawings done over nonphoto blue pencil sketches. I am trying to get more comfortable with improvising in ink. We’ll see how I progress over the next year. If nothing else I’m forcing myself to work on art every day. I always feel better after I’ve done some art.

 

With No Power Still Comes Great Responsibility

Billi 99 was first published as miniseries in 1991. A collected edition was printed in 2002. The series was written by Sarah Byam and illustrated by Tim Sale.

Corporate owned superheroes have had more fan art created of them than their soulless masters would ever be able to pay for. As far as I can tell, this is the first fan art ever done of Billi. I’m a pioneer.
