Guest Post on SCL: The Ninja Nod-off

2011-11-23T16:58:10Z

(Okay, so I've been away for awhile, but I bring good post...)

So, fast forward to the Sunday morning after Thanksgiving, and your belly is full of turkey awesomeness. Slumber is upon you, but you're about to head into church, what is your back-up plan in case you accidentally fall asleep during the sermon. I think I may have a plan for you…

Without further adieux, my guest post on my esteemed fellow Dave Ramsey team member Jon Acuff's popular blog (and book) "Stuff Christians Like", entitled "The Ninja Nod-Off":

Webcomic status, new short story, sketch cards...

2011-08-04T22:43:58Z

Hi all. Wow. Been a long time, eh?....heheheheh....uh...yeeeeah...mmm...okay...

Okay, let me get right down to business. My upcoming webcomic is on temporary hiatus until I get a few personal things squared away. To the 2.5 people reading this and interested, don't worry I will get back on track with it, and it will be worth the wait. Promise.

However, I have still been creating- writing in fact. I created a short story which I am planning on lengthening a bit to fit a picture book format. Anyway, I entered the 'abridged' version into a great contest which the super folks at The Paper Wings Podcast put on. The voting began at the beginning of this past week (which is why I am posting this now? Way to go Captain OnTopOfThings!). You can still get your vote in by going here and 'liking' it using the Facebook icon on the left share bar.

In the meantime, I finished and sent off some sketch card commissions recently. Here, take a peek:

Left to Right: (Top) Gandalf's Escape from Saruman, Hiro Nakamura vs. Darth Vader, (Bottom) Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Maul, Boba Fett w/Han in CarboniteLeft to Right: (All from Buffy) Faith, Willow, and Spike

If you or anybody that you know is interested in a custom commission, you can contact me at:

noah (at) rightbraind (dot) com. That is all.

New Webcomic : Character Studies, pt3

2011-05-03T04:21:04Z

So, with the little time that I currently have, amongst freelance web-based design work and the fact that my wife and I are expecting our sixth child any day now, I bring you the third installment of character studies of our hero for my new upcoming webcomic.

I compiled my fave action poses and ones with the most energy and character, feedback is always welcome!

CHARACTER TEASE: This guy is truly fearless and likes to punch evil in the face (or slice it in half). The bigger and the more tentacles, the better...BRING IT!

New Webcomic : Character Studies, pt2

2011-04-24T04:49:28Z

So, here is the second installment of my character studies for my upcoming webcomic. Trying to keep it loose...I am really loving drawing with the "S" tip Faber-Castell Pitt pen.

Morning Warmups: My Son...

2011-04-24T04:27:16Z

So, as often as possible, I do my morning drawing warm-ups, which is a challenge for a father of 5 (soon-to-be 6). Sometimes it's 30 second poses using PoseManiacs.com, and a lot of the time it's drawing my kids. This time around it's my 1.75 yo son. He's quite the character, I love drawing toddlers, such fun shapes to play with:

New Webcomic : Character Studies, pt1

2011-04-10T04:51:21Z

So, I'm working on a new webcomic which I'm extremely excited about. As soon as I nail down the main characters and general overall feel I will make an "official" post about it, but for now, I will post development sketches and progress art until then. Should be in within a couple of weeks or so, but my wife and I are expecting our sixth towards the end of this month so, that's a loose statement! ^_^

To start things off here are some very early character sketches, one of which, I think, invokes my love for the strip "Dick Tracy" originally created by Chester Gould, but as of recent drawn by one of my early idols Dick Locher and written by Max Allen Collins. Currently I think it is carried on by Joe Stanton and Mike Curtis if I'm not mistakened. That strip, along with Calvin n' Hobbes (and others), really kept my dreams of becoming a cartoonist alive and inspired. Anyway, here's a the first peek:

30 Characters For 30 Days, Day 30: Ham & Big Stu

2011-03-30T05:41:45Z

So, here it is, the big 3-0! This ends my 30 for 30, and I know you're sad. Oh, don't cry...here...here's a tissue. There, there...

This totally inspired many ideas for me, including just posting everyday. This may be the end of my 30 characters, but not for concepts and daily postings. More to come...

...and the last one is Ham (left) and Big Stu:
