Doodles With New Pen

by Dan Long on November 11, 2009 at 03:00

I found a great pen for sketching on normal paper (when not wanting to waste valuable, expensive bristol). It’s the Pilot Laser Point pen.  Micron Pigma pens, which I use to draw the comics on bristol, don’t have the same effect on normal paper…and I think normal paper wears out the Micron pen tip.

sketchyHere are some doodles from said pen (the Pilot Laser Point), on computer paper. I think it has a good line quality with just the slight amount of bleed that I think makes inked lines look nice and organic.  Click the image to view it larger.

I can’t believe I forgot to post this. Oh well, I’m known for trying to keep Halloween alive during the week or so after it’s over. Please enjoy.

Cool Art: 13 Nights of Halloween by Grimbro

Happy Halloween! So, I had to post this set today that I saw on the “Drawn!” blog. These speed paintings of classic horror monsters are just beautiful.  The picture links to the DeviantArt gallery where the set of 13 paintings can be seen in all its spooky splendor, with artist commentary under each one.

My Writing: “Bethany, My Love”

by Dan Long on October 29, 2009 at 00:01

Hey, it’s almost Halloween! How about reading a dark short story? It’s here! Grab it up! It’s a shorter short story, 14 pages double-spaced, so it reads quickly. Just make sure to read it in the dark (with some sort of lighting, of course, or night-vision goggles if you have them).

My Art: “The Hat” (larger version)

by Dan Long on October 27, 2009 at 03:00

In a post a few days ago, I showed an oil painting I did a while back that I called “The Hat.” You may be more acquainted with him as the host of the monsters’ party.   The problem was, though that I could only find a small, thumbnail version of it.

Click this image for a larger version if you’d like to see more detail. Unfortunately, I took this photo with a flash on the camera, so much of the black is reflected back as a glare, which diminishes the full effect of the painting. I’m working on taking some new photos, so you can see it in its natural form, and will have this for sale as a poster in the coming weeks (along with other store goodies).

Also, if you’re an EQComics Fan on Facebook, you saw this sketch of PumpkinHead yesterday.  More where that came from.pumpkinhead
