VAMPIRELLA QUARTERLY: SUMMER 2008

Look for my variant cover in stores this month (EDIT: September):



VAMPIRELLA!

Most people that know me know that Vampi is pretty much my favourite person, place, or thing to draw. This cover was really exciting and enjoyable to paint! The view of Drakulon in the background was inspired by Joe Jusko but I was going for a "classic" Gonzalez/Maroto vibe with Vampi herself. FUN.

Some sketches from the past couple of Wednesdays. What you see are: a space guy (a hazy nod to Arthur Suydam's Cholly & Flytrap), a mermaid (I think the challenge was old person + dolphin), Scarecrow, Captain America, Black Cat, Elektra, Jonah Hex, a space kid, a scuba diver, a Viking, a mouse, and a mouse girl with rockets (in the fashion of Dynamite Warrior).

Uh oh

Ok, the bad news is that I forgot to renew my web hosting and lost my website momentarily, so all the images in my old blog entries are broken. The good news is that nothing was actually lost, and soon I will put up a real page where you can see my artwork all together in one convenient location.

I also registered "fionastaples.com" so I might phase out the "good-lucky.net" title over the next year or so because it's difficult to remember and doesn't really make sense.
