two hundred and none "ink on paper"

so, as i showered today, it being the end of the year and all, i thought showering was appropriate, anyways, i was thinking about having an audience and how that meant a certain degree of responsibility, to not let them down, and yes i realize this is one long run on sentence, and i began to think about the burn beetle comic which is just waiting to be printed now, the funds will be found eventually, and how simple a comic is, it is just paper and ink, or ink on paper to use my title of this post, a simple device, stapled for prosperity, and no matter how immature or amateurish it is, it still is a comic, and what that means, how it joins the legacy of comics, comics i have read and loved, heroes i have worshiped and grand adventures i have joined them on, and all it takes is ink on paper and two staples, what a grand idea!
so back to the audience, i realize we have only a few readers or people interested in NDVR at this point, and we would like to thank you for this, we will deliver this fabled comic as soon as we can, and you lucky fans will be the first to get it! nick and myself are very grateful for the continued support for this lifelong journey into comic obscurity, especially for those of you who have been involved since the early incarnations of this delusion. we feel like we are better prepared and have a greater understanding of what needs to be done. we also feel like we have something here, something worth doing or stories worth telling.
this blog, so this blog is suppose to be more of a artistic blog for myself, just to show the few of you who care, what i am up to artistically, but for awhile now it is the temporary home for all things NDVR, which is kinda like splitting hairs, since they are rather intertwined, since i try to focus most artistic energies on my comix, so, this sometime this new year a new NDVR blog will arrive with strictly NDVR material, and more of it, we hope to have character biographies, since not everyone has the privilege to know and love the characters that have been with us for so many years, this will most likely coincide with the printing of burn beetle, and will have all the necessary information on it, how to obtain and enjoy all future NDVR comix.
and this blog will have more of the same, great art at a great price!
BE BOLD, GO FORTH AND NDVR!

197- "specialization breeds weakness"

pencils.
starjourne fights off an alien pod creature.
i saw a interview with stan the man lee earlier today, it was really neat to hear him talk comics. i love talking comics, but its weird that i enjoy just talking about them and i am so out of the loop of comics nowadays. i love making comics, as rarely as i do it, but i love it. i need to get into this loop. like i didnt know that punisher died and came back like a frankenstein monster until recently. which i admire the gaul of the comic creators to go so far for the whole frankencastle pun.

thats why i love comics.

post #157- Kay Nine

this is an early redesign drawing of kay nine as she may or may not appear in the upcoming comic, i am thinking this might be her non-battle dress.

POST #147- LANDMINE

this is for a good friend's boardgame.

post #145-old NDVR cover from 1968

making a cover:
step one) get a awesome character, like NATO for instance.
step B) draw him in a bind.
part third) make it cool.
got it?
now go out there and NDVR!

"I AM HERE BUT TO OBSERVE!!!" OR "This is not an autobiographical comic."





this is a comic i did.
the idea was to do a comic as quickly as possible before i realized it was crummy...and to keep the motivation alive that inspired it in the first place. i saw this drawing by Agnes lee, and was instantly inspired to do it. i hope the quality of the comic does not reflect badly on her great drawing.

POST #142

i drew this.
it has to do with the comic..sort of.

POST #141- THE BURN BEETLE

hey, i did this drawing of burn beetle or ricky as his friends call him, his permanent colors have not been decided, but here's a sneak peek.

Post # 140- Moon Hare!

okay, okay I lied, or did I? maybe this Moon Hare plays a very vital role in Burn Beetle...maybe, indeed.

my apologies to Micheal golden.

POST# 139

hi, i am switching gears to work on my new comic, "BURN BEETLE", so my irregular schedule of drawings will continue to be irregular, or at least change to BB drawings, thanks.
here is a new drawing, entitled "bigger fish to fry"

POST #138- MORE FUN

post #137- another lost page

this seems to be a pre-code horror/gore story where the ACTION GANG meet Dementia, who is, i believe some type of Crystallographic sorceress. something to do with crystals and their ability of Neutron diffraction. i believe this sets up black beetle's turn to a darker vigilante side of heroics.

post #135- lost page found!

i recently found this old page from ACTION GANG!! and don't know what story it is from, if you have any idea please tell.

post # 134

so, a balance between inspiration and motivation would be nice, i think i find plenty of each with the former being in abundance as of late, but the latter, oh, the latter, i am easily motivated and easily distracted...

just regrouping...as usual

well the title says it all, i got down for a little while, but i am better and will post again soon, i apologize to my few fans out there.

burn beetle page one

(sigh.) here we go again...

a victorian rabbit.

giant sunken head, revision.

about 11 months ago i did a small painting of a half sunken head, covered in moss and flowers, now i did it again, this time no moss and add a bird.

an offcolor duo going on a stroll patrol..

that was probably the weirdest turn of phrase i have ever had the privilege of writing.
this is a drawing i did of jack rabbit and captain neutron, i see them as odd couple type partnership, the usual brash youngster and surly mentor type of deal, i am not sure the captain has ever been colored, so i did him in blue, it was either that or a muted yellow.
GLG

a fearsome skeleton approaches, roll a will save..

ah, a 1, a bad roll my friend, you a terrified beyond action, you stand frozen in fear, as the decaying demon...bites you and stuff. you take, ah......3 hit points.

Behold the Dozer Brothers!!!

once a semi-popular indie tag-team, now a work for hire brute squad! whose only love is that of destruction!! and anarchy!!!
which actually makes two loves.

POST #114 "page four, then no more?"
