#MilagroComic page 1 process. Digital layout, cleaned up and printed in blue line on 11x17" smooth Bristol, inked mostly with brush pens and some Microns, background with India ink and some white out spatter.
Space Monkey is a blend of Star Wars, Calvin and Hobbes, 90's cartoons and Space Brat (anybody else remember that book series?). Wacky, colorful, a little bit more weird and violent than most books aimed for kids. Sort of thing I loved in elementary school.

This Toppi page is incredible.

Trap Jaw art card. Fun character I've never drawn before. Can I tell you a secret? I've never watched an episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
What do I need to do to get hired to draw TMNT or Godzilla for @IDWPublishing ?
Master Peace & Hoj Poj line art. See below for the tattoo version. I'm sure some of you are disappointed this isn't a little more 🌶 🌶 🌶 but I decided to keep it soft R for this first piece.
