Here’s the newest (rough) colour sketch for the nefarious and wholly nasty villain Death Wattle

Earlier Version

He will be featured in the World Wildlife Federation of Justice

supplement for Mutants & Masterminds published by Atomic Overmind Press, which means you can read his secret origin, and compare his stats and power level against other WWFJ characters. And if you’re a player of Mutants & Masterminds the roleplaying game you can pit him against your superhero group. Sure…why not?

He is the arch-nemesis of Astromandrill, in case you were wondering, which makes him a fearsome foe indeed! He is also the leader of the Flock of Evil.

Here’s some rough logos I was working on today, let me know what you think!

And another one. This is fun! A bit of serendipity that the two O’s in HYPNOPOTAMUS look like eyes.

Here is a low res version of the Rhinosferatu t-shirt I’m working on for one of my nephew-in-laws:

I also will be doing one for Shaolin Monkey, Hypnopotamus, and BABOOM!

If you’re interested in picking up a shirt for yourself lemme know!

Last night I took a short break from Reggietown when I was inspired to work on WWFJ. It took about 45 minutes but I finally got a sketch of Astromandrill that I am happy with. For some reason all of my previous attempts felt really flat. Here’s the newest–sketchy but properly cartoony.

This rendition of Rhinosferatu in love was graciously contributed to my sketchbook by Chloe Chan. I met Chloe at V-Con this year and was really impressed by her work. Click on over to her website at http://chloecreative.com/ for lots more fabulous whatnots!
