A watercolor sketch I did based on a digital color sketch I did. Since the introduction of the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, so much of my work starts out digital even if the final art will be in a traditional medium. That device has been a real game changer for me.

This is a watercolor commission of the Legionnaire, Tellus. I have been a fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes since I first discovered them in a back up story in a Superboy comic in the early 1970s. There are a lot of us Legion fans out there and I am lucky to have so many of them ask me to draw their favorites.
Cheers!

This was an inked commission I did some time back that I added some digital color too. The commission request was for a Scottish girl and a couple of Scottish Terriers. This is where I went with it. And it went over well.

Catspaw was created for one of the Legion of Super-Heroes (LSH) reboots. Of which there were so many I really don’t know which one it was. And I consider myself a LSH fan! A fun design that I think was done by series artist at the time, Chris Sprouse.
This piece was done on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil in the Procreate app. I have been so impressed by what I could do in Procreate on an iPad since Apple introduced the first iPad Pro. Now if Apple would only make one at least 16 inches then I could replace my Cintiq.

I have left this blog dormant for too long and will change that now. Almost all of my content is created on my Patreon page, with some of it shared from time to time on my Instagram. But I thought I really should make an effort here.
So I will be adding updating this blog twice a week. I will try to make it Tuesdays and Thursdays but there might be a little hiccup now and then. If you want to see more up to date images and process posts, those will continue to be on my Patreon page at patreon.com/genegonzales.
Above is an commission piece I did for someone at HeroesCon early this last summer. I am not very familiar with the Masters of the Universe characters. I have seen most of them but I don’t think I was ever asked to draw any before this. I’m very happy with how the piece turned out. I might add some digital color to it at some point. The original was done in ink on 11” x 17” bristol board.
Cheers!

This started out as a rough for a commission I would finish in watercolor and ink. But I just kept doodling until I had a finished piece, more or less. It was a fun process that was recorded using the recording feature in the Procreate app. This was shared with my patrons on my Patreon page a few months ago.
You can watch the Reverse Flash process video on my YouTube channel.

Thanks to the support of my patrons over on my Patreon page I have launched my creator owned comic SPACE JUNGLE GIRL! If you have followed my blog you have seen SJG pop up from time to time. Her looks may have changed over time but her core story hasn't and now I have a chance to solidify both and share her story. I'm quite excited about it.
If you are interested in following the story and seeing my newest work head over to my Patreon page and join us.
Cheers!

Most of my recent artwork is posted on my Patreon page but I am going to start posting that artwork here as well, just a bit later. Over on my Patreon page with the most recent work there are also process videos. These videos are of both traditional and digital mediums. And very soon I will be posting my newest comic book creation, SPACE JUNGLE GIRL. Come join the fun!
In the meantime, here is a classic Aquaman!
