#950!

That means 50 more toons till the big 1-0-0-0! Yesterday's toon received the largest traffic to the site yet. Slowly but surely, word must be getting out. Woohoo!

PCW #947 - #950

I've updated the old Blogger template with something a bit more ... classic. Hope you like the new look. Anyway, these sketches were the basis for the toons of the past week. I've added the bonus #950 with this batch to make up for my lateness in posting. Many of the small elements in my sketches never make it into the finalized version. Like the 'W33NI3' prisoner tag in toon #947. And speaking of toons, #948 features PCW guest star Justin Rollins - he will be receiving the original sketch as part of the Guest Star Service I have on my site. Finally, #949 was more or less "by the book" - in that I knew what I wanted to say. #950 initially started out as a toon about Jonah's fellow castaway leaving him a note that 'he's gone Christmas shopping' or something to that effect. I like the caption I came up with for the finalized toon much, much better.

Enjoy 'em! Lord knows, there's more.... :)

PCW #944 - 946

Sorry - I've been neglecting the sketch updates. Here are the latest... more to come soon.

Fist colored

I'm probably the only major Iron Fist fan. For those who don't know, Iron Fist is a largely underused Marvel character.

Folsom Prison Blues...

I love working with very simple backgrounds in my 'toons - they are minimal, but often do a good job setting up the atmosphere. There is something to be said for simplicity in design - but the main reason I love to use them is that I hate
drawing detailed backgrounds. ;)

PCW #935 - 937

Here's the latest batch of sketches. PC Weenies 935, PC Weenies 936 and PC Weenies 937. I didn't stray too far from the originals on these.

Catching Up with some more PCW Sketches (#931 - 934)

Sketches for PC Weenies 931, PC Weenies 932, PC Weenies 933 and PC Weenies 934. I've been a bit behind on posting these up. Let me know what you think!

Digital Coloring Part 1

Digital Inking Tut

Guest-Week

This past week, several cartoonists contributed guest-toons while I toiled away on professor-related activities. Rest assured I will continue to post PCW sketches in the days that follow. In the meantime, why not check 'em out.

PC Weenies #921, 922 and #923

Three more sketch diary updates: PC Weenies 921, PC Weenies 922 and PC Weenies 923. #922 was actually a revamp of PC Weenies #119, with a brand new caption.

PCW #918 and #919

PC Weenies 918 and PC Weenies 919 are now up for your viewing pleasure. Alas, I accidentally flattened the file for PC Weenies 920, so I don't have the pencil sketch handy to post up here.

A 'nudder wallpaper

I'm having fun with these and thought I'd share my latest desktop wallpaper creation. Comments? Requests? Fire away, chief!

PCW #915, 916, and #917 sketches

PC Weenies 915 and
PC Weenies 916 were relatively straight foward ideas that came to me, and were easy to put down. I struggled a great deal with
PC Weenies 917 however. As the sketch shows, initially I had placed Grampa and another unkown character into the scene. I wanted to touch on how MySpace's impact was pushing out to the senior set, but somewhere along the way, I decided to shift the focus a little. BTW, #917 represents the debut of Pam Weiner's parents. I didn't specifically plan it out that way, it occurred to me in hindsight. Expect to see more of Grampa Charlie and Nana as recurring characters in the future....

To Boldy Go....

I've made a simple wallpaper background featuring PC Weenies 915. It's a little bonus for folks that read this blog. Enjoy!

PCW #912, 913, and 914

PC Weenies 912 introduces the Obvious Bros. - two characters who we haven't seen the last of, PC Weenies 913 featured my homage to the early 80's game, Miner 2049er (starring Bounty Bob - remember him?), and finally, PC Weenies 914 features a twisted take on UPSes. I added the mouth in for the UPS in the final version.

PCW #909 and #910

I was a little late on posting these sketches, which of course, represent PC Weenies 909 and PC Weenies 910, respectively. Enjoy!
