Thanks everyone!!! Here's a quick one. I really liked what
John Staton did, so I stole it. The lineweights are too small,
but I'm still figuring out the inking thing.

And this makes it 500. I know that's not a lot compared to some of you guys, but it's taken me a long time. I used to just watch everyone gripe and moan about things, and try to only post positive messages. Then I found the sketch book section, and from there my posts # grew faster. Not Flash fast, but faster than I was. I was planning on doing something special, but I have about three projects I need to get done. So here's a Teen Titans head shot study I was doing a week back. As for some other things.
James: Liked the colors. The only thing I could think of would be to add color to the blur. The Violet color that Alan Moore described in the Last Superman story. Thanks for going with the daylight colors too. I was thinking back to an issue of Superman Vs the Flash by Jurgens and I didn't remember any of the time changes as they were running around the world. So thanks.
Matthew: I'll see you later, and have a great trip.
I also have my Christmas pic done, and I'll post it next week.

These sketches are fantastic Justin. I love this work. More. Beautiful, expressive characters and an absolute joy to view.

justin : you really excel at very expressive faces...which i've seen
lots of veterans have problems pulling off.
matthew : i kind of like the simple inks on the samson piece...it's very
fitting to the style and history of the character.
james : nice colors on justin's panel...the demon piece is very intense,
which is what etrigan should be, just because he speaks in rhymes
doesn't mean he won't kick someone's ass..lol
tony : like everyone else so far i dig that monkey fella...i can see where
you style could be subverted depending on the inks. you'd need to find
someone who inks as freely as you draw in order to preserve the
dynamics of your art. while kalus jansen is an industry legend, i think don
hillsman type inker would be a better choice stylistically for your work.
anthony : i agree there's a lot to be happy about getting on christmas
there on that roof...i find myself intrigued by the mistletoe.
michael : i'm not familiar with your stuff but there's a nice minimalist
feeling to your sketch.

Justin, those are some great faces! It's no small feat to draw distinctive faces and expressions. I have for years suffered from drawing the same face on every character (which is probably why most of my past characters wear full-face masks). I'm finally getting away from that now, but it's not easy.
Again, great work.

One of the things I used to do to try and advance awayfrom my clear
Byrne swiping phase as a teen was to try and "think" what I could do
differently with a faces "landmarks" to make them appear different.
It began with noses. Big noses on some of the bad-guys. A regular old
Byrne-swiped face but the nose would be a large one that incorparated
stuff from outta my head filtered through my swipe.
Then eyebrows and so on. It wasn't for a couple of years after that
where I was pretty familiar with my own process [not my own style I
hasten to add] where I noticed that by distending the original oval
[skull] at the brow or jaw-line maybe ever widening the diameter around
where the cheeks might eventually lie that I was altering the character
much more fundamentally.
Then it's just observation of body and facial "types" [that sounds
awfull but someone with a more pronounced brow -does- look less
intelligent when drawn or maybe I should say more accurately, their
skull shape -lends- itself to that stereotype!]
I find myself daily in my travels staring at people. It wont be the
first time someone has come over to me and asked: "Are you drawing me?"
As I've sat doodling to pass the time in a bus station somewhere in the
carribean like heat here in Scotland [Shah-right!]
