SAMANYA BY ASHLEY RIOT

This amazing sketch of Samanya from Neverminds was drawn by Ashley Riot at the 2013 Wizard World Philly Con. Ashley asked me to do an art trade with her and I know for sure that I got the better deal here.

Thanks again, Ashley! Please check out more of Ashley's art on her Deviant Art page here: http://jocelynada.deviantart.com/

ALANIS BY DANIELLE GRANSAULL

This sketch of Alanis Munroe from Neverminds was drawn by Danielle Gransaull at the 2013 Wizard World Philly Con. I'd been trying to get a sketch from Danielle for a while and we kept missing each other somehow. But I was finally able to get her to draw in my sketch book and it was well worth the wait! Please check out more of Danielle's excellent work at http://dsoloud.deviantart.com/.

SAMANYA APPEARS ON NY TIMES GLBT POSTER

Last year I posted a photo and wrote about Phazer from Sentinels being selected as a character that represented gay and lesbian comic characters for the NY Times GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) Celebration. Well, this year (wi...thout my knowing about it again!) they selected Samanya from Neverminds to represent lesbian comic characters. How great is that? Of course there are higher profile characters, like Batwoman or Karma, but they were represented last year and the group decided that they wanted to spotlight different characters this year. It was also noted that they like that Samanya had a diverse background. We’ve very proud to have Samanya included in this group to help promote acceptance and equality. We put a lot of thought and consideration into to making Samanya a unique and recognizable character for many different groups and hope that she will be a character readers can relate to, no matter what their race, sex, background or sexuality is. In up-coming issues, the spotlight will shine greatly on Samanya and her role as field leader of the Neverminds team!

The art on the lesbian grouping of comic characters was drawn by Neverminds artist, Jamie Fay! The poster will be on display the entire month of June in the NY Times cafeteria.

Sentinels artist, Luciano Vecchio and Sentinels Anthology #2 artist, Josh Siegel were also asked to draw art for this project.

HEADSHOT SKETCHES

I've been a bit behind on posting some art that I've done, so here are a TON of headshots from the last few months.

NEW WEBSITE AND ART!

Our new Drumfish Production website has been up for a few weeks. I hope by now people have had a chance to check it out and see what they think. We still have a lot of work to do for it, but it's getting done! Last week we updated and added a few bios for the chracters pages on the Sentinels and Neverminds pages. All of the main Sentinels team members have complete bios and four Neverminds members have bios on their page. The creator pages for all titles have now been competely too! Feel free to read them at www.drumfishproductions.com .

MORE ART!

Here are a few more of the character square drawings I've been getting at different conventions.

This drawing of Phazer from SENTINELS was done by super cool artist, Meg Daunting and colored with copic markers by NEVERMINDS artist, Jamie Fay! This is part of a big grouping of all the Drumfish characters that is being done. When I saw Meg's art, I knew she'd draw a kickass version of Phazer and she didn't disappoint!

Who else could I get to draw the SENTINELS main bad girl, Rapture, other than Rhiannon Owens! Those of you that know her, know this is a perfect match-up! Rhiannon is amazing at who ever she draws and once again she did not disappoint! Gotta love this one.

This drawing of Nina from NEVERMINDS and Firebomb from SENTINELS were done by NEVERMINDS colorist extraordinary, Danielle Alexis St. Pierre! This is part of a big grouping of all the Drumfish characters that is being done. And of course, I had to have Danielle draw a character from both SENTINELS and NEVERMINDS. They both turned out great!

NEVERMINDS BY LUCKAS ACKERMAN AND DAVID DELANTY

This picture of the main NEVERMINDS team was drawn by Lucas Ackerman and colored David Delanty. Samanya, Nina and Alanis look awesome. But then what can you expect from talents like Lucas and David. Check out more of Lucas's art at www.lucasackerman.deviantart.com and see more of David's art at www.vest.deviantart.com .

I have a bunch of catching up to do, so here we go....

Here are the last two ads that ran last week and this week on Comic Related www.comicrelated.com .
