Heroes con was unbelievably awesome. It has so much talent there, I met some of my favorite artists, met some great fans of Invincible. Perfect con to go to, I might go again next year. We’ll see. And of course the southern food was great, I love me some Chili mac! My next and last con of this year is San Diego Comicon! Can’t wait.
Last night was draw night, only 5 people showed up, it was nice and small. First up we got Batman, I didn’t want to post this but I figured I should post everything I do at draw night, good and bad. And it’s kinda bad, I messed up his waist/legs. I inked over a very quickly done Batman sketch I did and this was the result. I think mainly the waist is misplaced and elongated. Ah well.

Just some crazy drawings, I was havin fun finishing these with ink and gray markers.

And lastly but not leastly, I did this sketch as kind of an ad of what’s to come. At Heroes con I shared a Hotel with Jason Howard, artist of the Astounding Wolf-man, and we came up with this concept we are thinking about doing. It was fun to just brainstorm this stuff, check it out. It’ll be the most exciting crossover that’s ever happened! heh.

HAHHAHAA! any time anyone can use the word “Criminy!” it’s pure gold. that looks really funny.
i love the double-chin belly button and the guy holding himself up by his eyebrows as well.
batman: i’ll just look at the top half
Nice draw night. Love the Batman. Glad to hear you are for sure doing San Diego. That’s great!! How long you going to be there? Later man.
Ha! You finished the SeaBear comic! Hell yes.
there should be a lot of publishers wanting to publish that idea xD!!
I would buy it!
It was a pleasure to meet you at HeroesCon. My Allen the Alien sketch is still just as awesome as when I picked it up. Thanks for being so hospitable to shy, admiring, aspiring artists like me and keep doing great stuff.
Also: Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark is so bizarre that it just might work.
I look forward to the misadventures of SeaBear and GrizzlyShark. Haven’t laughed that hard in awhile.
LOL awesome idea! I was at the zoo the other day thinking of shark headed animals. coincidence!
OH MAN! the sea bear and grizzle shark,thats so awesome,awesome can’t even begin to describe it!
sorry for the double post……….grizzly shark*
Fun Stuff. Beware the fury of Happy trail chin.
what’s up Ryan

THEY GOT MIXED UP.

Sea Bear is AWESOME!
Hey Ryan!
Sweet to hear that you will be at Comic Con this year. Are you going to have a booth in Artist Alley or are you gunna be chilling at the image booth maybe? I was hoping I could throw a little green your way and get a sketch in my Vol. 3 hardcover. Anyway, issue 50 and everything I’ve seen coming up looks sick as shit man. You’re style really does just keep getting better and better. Oh and Death Grubb?! laughed my ass off and loved the story! I still think you should let your little boy do the colors for a reprint. HAHAHA
keep it coming man!
Peace!

Hey Ryan it was great to meet you and Kirkman at Heroes con. I bought the sketch on this page below Pitt (the tongue guy) for 5 bucks: http://ryanottley.com/archives/139. I love it. Both you and Kirkman were super nice and welcoming.
Hey Ryan this is my first post here after lurking for quite some time. i missed you at SDCC last years Drink n Draw. i hope i get the chance to bump into you.

There’s a lot of awesome to be had in this post. Almost too much.
I took a crack at coloring it. I don’t do this professionally or anything so I may have butchered your drawing a little but if anyone is interested, it can be found here:
