Norse Webcomic Begins

The first page of my new weekly webcomic Norse: Dawn of the Shield Maiden is up.

You can check it out at the following link:

Norse Webcomic

When it Rains, it Pours...

2011-12-01T09:25:00.001-07:00

Alright, PP is giving me grief for selling an adult comic through my blog, so I am now looking for an alternative way to sell the Sideshow Nympho webcomic. Needless to say, the 4th chapter is on hold until I find a new avenue for sales. Will let you know how that goes.

Updates, New Webcomics and More...

2011-11-28T18:06:00.001-07:00

It's been a while since my last post and I apologize for not updating the blog more frequently these days. The last few months have been pretty hectic to say the least. Here's what's been happening and what you can expect in the near future...

Some of you may know that, for the past 15 years, I've been producing a monthly erotic comic titled "Les P'tites Vites de Brigitte" for a French Canadian magazine called Quebec Erotique. Recently, new ownership took over the mag and it all went to Hell. To make a long story short, the magazine and its new owner are now facing fraud charges. Those of you who are fluent in French can read more about it here.

This means I have now lost my main source of income. It also means my future in this business is uncertain to say the least.

However, this also means my schedule is a bit more open so I can now produce more comics. One of which will start in about 2 weeks titled: "Norse: Dawn of the Shield Maiden". This will be a free, weekly webcomic (one page updated every Monday) for which I will rely on the generosity of fans through donations to help keep it going. Here is a teaser (click on image to view full size):

This is a comic book I've been wanting to produce for a while now, but never found enough time in my schedule to do so. Well, now it can finally take flight here at: norseweb.blogspot.com

If you enjoy TV series like Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Game of Thrones, this new webcomic should be right up your alley.

~~As for The Sideshow Nympho, the 4th chapter is tentatively scheduled to go on sale Monday, December 5th.~~

I will also still be working for MBC, producing the science-fiction sequel to Alien Winter titled: "Europa" and will have some new vampire-themed work appearing soon at VampYou.com.

If all goes well, I may still be an erotic comic book artist come the new year... I hope so.

Thanks.
- James.

Sideshow Nympho Episode 3 Teaser

2011-08-29T16:49:00.001-06:00

I'm happy to announce that the 3rd chapter of the Sideshow Nympho will (finally) go on sale next week, right here on the blog. Don't miss it!

In the meantime, here's a little teaser panel in which our heroine, Mandy, meets the Snake Lady...

Europa... the Upcoming Sequel to Alien Winter

2011-07-23T11:26:00.000-06:00

Cover artwork for the upcoming sequel to Alien Winter. I've received so much great feedback from fans about the webcomic that I decided to expand the concept further... into the future!

This time around, the story takes place 20 years after the events that occurred in Alien Winter and stars Katerina's daughter, Katya. Needless to say, there'll be plenty of human-alien sex and other goodies!

The first episode of Europa will be available in August at monsterbabecentral.com.

Also available in August: Chapter 3 of The Sideshow Nympho, right here on the blog. (Yes, I'm finally getting close to being caught up on my extra workload. Thanks again everyone for your patience.)

See ya in August!

R.I.P. Gene Colan

2011-06-24T10:36:00.002-06:00

Gene Colan, the highly talented artist responsible for one of my favorite horror comic books growing up - The Tomb of Dracula - passed away last night at the age of 84. I've always loved his uniquely fluid and moody style as well as his unorthodox panel designs and page layouts.

He will be missed...

2 Commissions and a New Webcomic

2011-06-21T16:28:00.001-06:00

"Branded by the She-Wolf". A previously featured commission completed in full color:

A panel from a 7-page story I'm working on:

And finally, the cover for an upcoming webcomic which will be featured on MBC in a few weeks' time.

Update: I should be able to resume work on The Sideshow Nympho in July. Thanks again for your patience, everybody. It'll be worth the wait. :)

Updates (Or Lack Thereof)

2011-05-29T12:31:00.000-06:00

For those wondering why there's been so few updates as of late, the reason is that I've over-extended myself during the past few weeks and I'm now busy catching up on several drawings, including...

1. Commissions (a whole lot of them!)

2. Work-for-hire (Just finished Alien Winter, almost finished the sequel to Queen of the Undead and I'm developing a new ongoing webcomic for an online site)

3. I'm also developing a non-porn webcomic project coming this fall. More on that later...

The above had to take precedence over Sideshow Nympho, unfortunately, which means the strip is in limbo right now until I can get back on schedule.

Anyway, there you have it. I will do my best to keep the blog updated more often and get back to work on SN as soon as possible and I thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, here are two commissions I'm working on at the moment...

Chapter Two of The Sideshow Nympho Available on Monday!

2011-04-15T17:00:00.003-06:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that the 2nd episode of The Sideshow Nympho will be available to buy on Monday, April 18th. Since the 1st chapter is still selling, I delayed the upload of the 2nd chapter by a couple of weeks to give people a chance to grab the first installment and familiarize themselves with the story line.

The comic should be available every 30 days from this point on, give or take a few days.

Thanks again to everyone who purchased Chapter 1 and for the kind comments and praise. I appreciate it.

See ya on Monday!

Alien Winter & Latest Commission Piece

2011-03-14T10:08:00.003-06:00

Trouble seems to find the busty Russian Cyborg Katerina Dochenko everywhere she goes! Don't miss the suspense-filled episode 10 of Alien Winter available March 24th. on MBC.

Below is an image of my latest completed private commission (digital color over pencils on 11 x 17 comic book artboard.) This one was a blast to draw!

And last but not least, a big THANK YOU goes out to all the fans who have purchased episode 1 of The Sideshow Nympho. So far, not a day has gone by without sales and the feedback has been positive across the board, so it's very encouraging. Rest assured our little redhead heroine will be offering her unique displays of affection in many more wicked ways within subsequent chapters.

New Poll

2011-02-16T09:24:00.005-07:00

Due to a schedule change, the "Sideshow Nympho" online comic book WILL NOT be available at Monster Babe Central as previously stated. It was slated to replace Alien Winter once that book has run its course, but fear not MBC members, there will still be a different book by me eventually replacing Alien Winter on MBC.

So, I thought I would try a new approach: selling one of my comic books directly from my blog. But first, I need to know if it's worth it, hence the new poll on the top right corner of the blog.

A few details about the Sideshow Nympho comic in question to help you make a decision:

- Each monthly chapter is 5 pages long and contains professional, high quality artwork. (No amateur art here, folks!)
- The story line is ongoing with plenty of babes and lots of kinky, XXX-rated content.
- Each page is 1240 dpi wide. (Quite larger than the low resolution sample below.)
- The pages are in jpeg format and saved at maximum quality with minimum compression.
- Everything - script, artwork, coloring, and lettering - is by me.
- Chapters would be sent directly to your email address once payment is processed.

Click to enlarge low resolution teaser sample below:

Please answer the poll and let me know what you think. Comments or questions are welcome.

Thanks.
- James.

My latest cover artwork for an upcoming horror / slasher / supernatural ongoing online comic book for Monster Babe Central.

As a rare, special treat, this one is in high resolution (1240 pixels). You've been warned!

EDIT: Well, I guess Blogger won't let me post it in full size. But it's still big enough. ;)

Two private commission pieces I am working on at the moment...

Is this ebay Seller a Fraud?

2010-12-15T09:40:00.006-07:00

A friend of mine found this seller's page on ebay:

http://shop.ebay.com/uzbek_silk_road/m.html

If you go to page 2 of the seller's auctions, you'll notice some familiar artwork, here's one example:

From what I can tell, someone traced over my artwork, added watercolor and then claimed it as their own. Now I've seen my online comics available for download all over the net, even translated in other languages, like Spanish and Russian. But since there's really not much a person can do about that, I'm not bothered by it. In fact, I think it actually provides me with a bit of free publicity.

What irritates me about this particular case, however, is that the auction claims that the work in question is "signed by the artist", a Russian named Popov. Using someone's artwork, coloring it and then claiming it as your own is kind of a sham, I would think.

In any case, ebay has been notified and it's wait and see for now...

I'll let you know how it develops.

As for some "real" artwork, I know it's been a while but I will be posting some new work in the coming days, promise!

Stay tuned...

EDIT: To be fair, I do give the seller the benefit of the doubt, since he or she might not be aware of what Popov is doing. But if you are going to represent an artist, maybe you should make sure he's legit.

Well, the poll results would have been close if not for the third choice. ;)

Changes to SBC & HBC

2010-07-02T09:32:00.003-06:00

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about the merging of spacebabecentral.com and horrorbabecentral.com. That's right, as of July 1st, both sites are now together as one big mega site called monsterbabecentral.com

As a result, some of the new comics are being delayed for a few weeks. But fear not, both Alien Winter and Brothel of Blood should see the light of day in the coming weeks.

Since I really don't like a post without images, here are three teaser panels from the upcoming comics to hold you over until their debut on the new site...

One from Brothel of Blood:

...and a couple from Alien Winter:

R.I.P. Frank Frazetta

2010-05-11T08:37:00.011-06:00

My all-time favorite painter died yesterday at the age of 82. He was often imitated but never equaled. He will be missed...

Now that he's gone, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until his greedy kids resume fighting over control of his work...

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been extremely busy with work and commissions as well as a few other projects (more on that later.)

Anyway, here's the latest sexy commission I'm working on at the moment...

Here's a new private commission in progress...

New update... Finally!

2009-07-19T16:54:00.007-06:00

Well, it's been a while since the last update but work on several projects and a few days out of town on vacation has prevented me from showing anything new.

Anyway, most of the projects I'm working on at the moment are still in progress so in the meantime, I thought I'd show a few pieces from the past few years (some of which have never been posted anywhere.)

As a little bonus, there's also a teaser panel from the upcoming 2nd issue of Spooky! below...

Enjoy!

Self-rejected cover for Twisted Toon Tales no.11:

Drew this one yesterday under the influence of NyQuil. (battling a bad summer cold and an ear infection. Basically, I feel like shit... wasn't gonna let that stop me, though.)

What resulted is this "underdrawing" for the cover of Spooky! #2:

Once I'm a little more alert, I'll be better able to decide if I like it or not.

The lesson here might be: "Don't drowse and draw!" ;)

2009-04-23T08:52:00.005-06:00

Initially, I was going to call this new anthology horror comic for HBC "Doorway to Midnight", but in the end, I opted for a simpler, one-word title, which is more in the vein of those great B&W horror comics magazines of the 60's and 70's.

So here is the result in clean pencils...

... and in blood-spattered color:

R.I.P. Marilyn Chambers

2009-04-14T11:20:00.005-06:00

Ironically, I was first exposed to sultry adult film star Marylin Chamber's work in the R-rated, David Cronenberg horror flick Rabid. It would be a few years before I got to see the now classic porn movie Behind the Green Door, which is considered to be the first "porno chic" film. The movie had quite an impact on me and my artwork at the time.

It's also worth noting that Marilyn was featured on a box of Ivory Snow detergent, holding a baby in her arms. A modeling assignment she got prior to filming Green Door. Pretty damn cool!

Marilyn was only 56 years old.

Time Flies When You Blog...

2009-03-21T12:28:00.012-06:00

Today is the 1st anniversary of The Good Girl Art board. To mark the occasion, since I didn't have anything new to showcase, I thought I'd post a dozen samples of covers I've done over the years, starting with one which goes way back to 1995. (hand-colored, no less!)

I'd like to thank everyone who visited to take a sneak peak at my artwork, and especially folks who took the time to comment on it.

Thanks also to all the fans who requested commissions. It's been a lot of fun for me to produce the artwork and I'm looking forward to future requests. (2 more commission pieces in progress will be shown soon on the blog.)

Alright, on to the "Anniversary" cover gallery:

New Commission Rates Chart

2009-03-20T08:44:00.005-06:00

I designed a new commission rates chart a few days ago to make it easier for viewers to get an idea of my rates and what to expect from a commission at a glance. I will link to this chart at the bottom of every post labeled "Commission Work" but you may want to bookmark the chart page or save the image to your computer for future reference.

Face Study by Jesús Torrealba

2009-02-18T10:05:00.007-07:00

Jesús Torrealba drew a face study based on my artwork from the previous post ("Working in a Coal Mine Version 2.0") and I must say I like his rendition better than mine...

... Great work, Jesús!

Private Commission Final Step

2009-01-27T08:11:00.009-07:00

Here you can see the "Genesis" commission piece completed. I embellished the pencils and added some background consisting of volcanic formations and billowing smoke. Finally, I framed the artwork with flames and clouds using soft pastels to enhance the concept of the struggle between Heaven and Hell.

The piece was drawn on 11" x 14" Strathmore mi-teintes sketch paper.

New Dave Stevens Hardcover Book

2009-01-13T09:34:00.007-07:00

A dear friend of mine gave me a fantastic gift for Christmas; the new book chronicling the life of Dave Stevens titled: Brush with Passion.

The book is mostly written by Dave himself (he was still working on the project when he passed away), which makes it even more precious. He talks about his childhood, his inspiration, and his amazing artwork. The book features many full page illustrations; from storyboards, to comic book covers, to teasing pin-ups and, of course, plenty of artwork from The Rocketeer as well as several charming renditions of this fabulous model...

... the late, great Bettie Page, who passed away last month at the age of 85.

The book also features some never-before-seen artwork. It's a must-have for fans of Dave, of The Rocketeer, and of cheesecake pin-up art alike.

Stacey Future Teaser

2009-01-12T16:58:00.007-07:00

Had a bit of free time on my hands tonight so, using a few of the panels from the story, I made a quick little teaser for my new Stacey Future comic book -- just for fun...

Enjoy!

Happy New Year everybody!

Stacey Future Cover Artwork Version 2.0

2008-12-28T17:17:00.008-07:00

I was looking at the finished cover and realized it was a little too heavy on the blue, which didn't make Stacey stand out as much as I would've wanted her to (especially since her uniform is also blue). So I changed the colors of the background entirely from blue to green, added some eerie mist rising from the valley below and some back light behind the volcanic formations.

I think it looks better and moodier this way. Let me know if you all agree (or not.)

Okay, THIS is my last post of 2008. ;)

Bianca, the time traveling heroine of Time Raider, finds herself in ancient Greece and meets a well-known mythological creature in the final chapter of the series, which will be online later today @ Space Babe Central.

Commission Sketch Part Four

2008-11-30T09:46:00.007-07:00

Here is the finished commission. I'm happy to report the customer is very happy with the end result.

The piece was done on Strathmore sketch paper and measures 11" x 14". Media used were Staedler drawing pencils (roughs), Derwent hard, medium & soft pencils (clean line art & shadowing) and Derwent Graphitint soluble graphite pencils (blood spatter.)

I will have a preview of the upcoming last chapter of Time Raider in a few days. See you then.

Commission Sketch Part Three

2008-11-29T10:17:00.006-07:00

This commission is coming along pretty good. I've embellished the cross and weapons and then worked on the two Roman soldiers in the foreground as well as the background skyline.

Only a few more details remain to be added and this commission sketch will be done.

Commission Sketch Part Two

2008-11-27T10:24:00.006-07:00

I had a bit of time this morning to work on this sketch some more, so I embellished the lady on the cross using Derwent soft pencils...

Next, I will work on the cross, drawing some wood grain and adding some much needed shadows. After which I will turn my attention to the weapons.

Commission Work

2008-11-26T08:38:00.010-07:00

Okay, after lengthy consideration and several requests, I've decided to give commission work a try. So starting next year, I will be taking requests. (Please do not post your requests on the blog. I will provide an e-mail address and website specifically for commissions once I officially start taking requests, which should be in early 2009.)

But since I needed the practice and felt like drawing something other than comics, I started to work on a very cool piece commissioned by Dennis. Here are the rough pencils:

There are some corrections to be made perspective-wise, and other details to be added on later. I will post the next stages of the process in the coming weeks.

Christmas Blues

2008-10-18T14:36:00.005-06:00

A little early for a Christmas piece but that's what you get with deadlines being a couple months ahead. The girl (Brigitte) is obviously having a blue Christmas... but anyone who's familiar with her knows that the boredom she's feeling is only temporary. ;)

Color, logo & Text:

(I don't usually like a lot of text on a comic book cover, but this particular piece seemed to be begging for a fair amount of words, even though I find it makes the page look a little too crowded. But what the hell, I'm off to bed...)

"Nightmare College" Cover Preview

2008-09-19T17:15:00.007-06:00

This poor schoolgirl is in for quite a paddle spanking! ;)

This new series will follow Creature Busters (which starts in January on HBC.) It will be a very graphic and gory horror comic, but with a touch of dark humor, as you can probably tell by the skeleton in a graduating cap & gown. :)

I will upload the next steps (clean pencils & color) as the work progresses.

Enjoy...

I've had to deal with two devastating losses in recent weeks, which is why there hasn't been any updates as of late. I've been slowly getting back into work mode again and will be showcasing some new samples in a couple of weeks.

Thanks.

2008-07-12T14:05:00.007-06:00

I'm working on several online comics at the moment, including a new project, but until I have something interesting to show, I thought I'd post a few odds and ends in the meantime, seeing as it's been almost a month since the last update.

Hopefully, this is new to some of you.

Enjoy.

Unlettered Carnal Science page. (I was greatly inspired by Jack Kirby for this one) :

Dedication

2008-03-21T10:55:00.031-06:00

This blog is dedicated to the memory of comic book artist Dave Stevens, who passed away on March 10th. after a lengthy battle with Leukemia.

Dave's magnificent artwork has inspired me for the past 25 years and will undoubtedly continue to influence my work for as long as I can hold pencil to art board.

With his unique "old school" style, attention to detail, and an amazing ability to draw seductive women, Dave had made comics fun again.

He will truly be missed...

R.I.P.
