Ostrichard commission

Really cool someone commissioned me to draw Cory Walker’s awesome character Ostrichard at the Emerald city con. I would love if Cory did a one-shot or something with this guy.
Ink and Copic markers on 11×17 cardstock.

I always love ECCC. My favorite con, so much love for Invincible there. Thanks to everyone who came out and visited me at the table.
Here’s some pics of the con that my cousin Brian took, this first one is at the Skybound panel. It’s the first panel I’ve been on. I always refuse to do this, not into public speaking at all but when I walked in and sat in the back Robert said “and here is Ryan Ottley, sitting at the back of the room as usual, come on Ryan, get up here!” I went up, didn’t say much, then doodled the rest of the time. Heh. That’s how I roll I guess.

Here’s some pics of me and my stupid face drawing a Leonardo commission.

Did a sketch in a friends Lego sketchbook, basically I could draw whatever I wanted but in Lego version.

I have pics of all the sketches I did. I’ll post those later.

TMNT cover process

Ryan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:22:03 +0000

Here’s a look at the process of making this cover. I do the layout on a Cintiq, just scribble around and create figures, move them around to fit a nice composition. Then I print this out on cardstock in blueline and pencil over that. Then I scanned it and printed it out AGAIN in blueline on a fresh piece of cardstock and inked over that. SO there are two originals for this. I mainly did this because I was worried I’d mess up inking over my pencils with this new sable hair brush pen I got. Luckily it worked out, the new brush pen is this> http://www.jetpens.com/Kuretake-No.-40-Fountain-Hair-Brush-Pen-Sable-Hair-Refill/pd/3958

Dinosaurus VS Allen.

A page from INVINCIBLE 89, this page was tough to figure out a dynamic pose and composition. I was looking at fighting magazines and drawing all these specialized moves but it just wasn’t working out. I ditched the magazines and the few drawings I did and started fresh. I just drew what I felt and had fun with it and it worked out pretty quickly. Sometimes ya gotta just go with your gut. And a lot of times referencing reality doesn’t help with dynamism, it squashes it.

INVINCIBLE 92 cover.

Pencils to inks for my part of the cover. The bottom part, seen in the color version, is drawn by Cory Walker! This issue will be awesome! Cory will be drawing some pages as well for this, it shall be glorious! And the radical colors are by none other than John Rauch.

INVINCIBLE 88 page 8 Pencil to ink!

Ryan — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:58:32 +0000

Another page from issue 88, pencils to inks! Had fun re-designing Robot here, well not really re-design, just updated for space combat. In the script it said to have Robot subduing Mark, I thought instead of him just flying up and grabbing him that some electric looking power rope thingies that he’d fire at Mark and wrap around him would be cooler. I don’t think they should be called electric power rope thingies though. I’ll leave the cool name creations up to Robert!
