Elves can be mean little beasties. Happy Holidays.

Sorry this is so late, but this has been the toughest end of a semester I've encountered. Nearly thirteen projects due over a two week period, not to mention three finals, and meeting the most vile person I've ever had the misfortune of crossing paths with...an R.A.

Anyway, here's the first drawing I've done in a few weeks.

Studio Challenge # 009

Well Mignola month has come and gone and now we enter into the holiday season.
All this being said and as we approach Christmas that can mean only one thing,
"Wolverine Versus ..."
Take your stab at Marvel Comics Canadian badboy Logan.
Have him fighting what, or who-ever you want, have fun, be creative, or make a point...

... er-- Just Draw 'em and post 'em,

Sam-

(SAM)
Logan vs. the disembodied head of Magneto.

I am moving next week so I wont be online- I'm cutting the cable tomorrow, (I don't want to be charged for another month for just 1 days use).
So Evan will be posting next weeks challenge and I will have to update as I find service.

Studio Challenge # 008

I'm Thankful for...

We are wrapping up Mignola week here at FMLB COMICS, and this weeks challenge is to draw something you are thankful for.
Of-course I personally, am thankful for Mike Mignola and all the inspiration he gives me, but, this week you can, like I wrote earlier, draw something you are thankful for, or a turkey in you best quasi Mignol-esque style.

Happy Thanksgiving guys and gals!

Draw 'em and post 'em.

(EVAN)

This was what came to mind after reading the challenge.

It actually kind of scares me though...

Studio Challenge # 007

Got it covered...
Recreate one of Mignola's covers, either with the characters he had on it, or, switch them out with any character of your choice.
Draw 'em and post 'em.

Sam-

(EVAN)

Well, I saw this and automatically thought of his B.P.R.D. cover

So obviously I did the next logical thing...a Heroes for Hire cover, heh heh! Growing up, Luke Cage was my favorite comic character next to Spider Man, so since I uses Spidey on my first challenge, I finally found a way to get Luke into the mix.

(SARAH)

ok first off, sorry i was so late and missing in action last week. finals.
but on to the challenge. i took a conan cover. and made it a dr scott carroll cover. he was an archeologist! neat!
hope you like.

(SAM)

Here is my quickie, MissleMan after Hellboy "The Island" issue #2.

Sam-

(RICK)

This is late, finals slowed me down. I was planning on coloring it, I'll do that later. This is based on the novel cover by Mignola The God Machine.I replaced the characters with BucketBoy and some rabid raccoons.

Studio Challenge # 006

It's a new challenge and the second week of Mignola Month here at FMLB COMICS.
This weeks challenge is entiteld, "MIND OF MIGNOLA".
Mike has brought a lot to the comic community, from fantastic worlds to astonishing characters.
This week draw as many or as few of Mike's creations for the challenge, but throw it the way you would have done it, wether its Abe Sapian or Adolf's disembodied head, throw it down.

Draw 'em and post 'em,

Sam-

(EVAN)

Dunno, I just thought that Emperor Zombie from the Amazing Screw-On Head might try to fight Lincoln with a giant John Wilkes Booth. But mainly I just wanted to draw Emperor Zombie.

Studio Challenge # 005

Well here we are at the end of October and Halloween is a day away, so we all know what that means--
--Time for Studio Challenge Number Five!

November will be a special month as it will deal with all things Mike Mignola, He has worked on alot of things and characters as well.

The second part of this challenge will be an excercise as well, it is not to draw in the style of but to think of design and black placement in you compositions.

So this week we will do Hellboy in honor of Halloween and we will discuss what will be new in the following weeks.

Draw 'em and Post 'em,
Sam-

(SAM)

This is what you get for now but there will be another one soon-- what can I say, I like Hellboy, This was done during a pitch meeting.

Sam-

(MIKE)

This was a real quick Sketch Mike did while working on a pitch getting ready to be sent to the WB.
There is another sketch just about ready to be posted real soon.

Here's my Hellboy, besides the quicker "totally awesome" sketch, this was the first time I sat down and drew him.

MRG-

(EVAN)

More fun with Hellboy. I don't like to draw traditional scenes from the comics. Whenever I have to draw him I like to do things with him that are different.

Evan-

(SARAH)
hellboy. HELLBOY!!

i might do another one. while drawing this little devil i realized that i liked the way he looks. so drawing him again would be nice.

--sarah--

(RICK)

A Hellboy first for me. Hope you dig it.

Rick-

(Bonus)

Just for Fun I thought I would play a little with Mike's "not so totally awsome" Sketch there with a little inks, colors, and words.

Studio Challenge # 004

I have created a MONSTER!!!

With Halloween a week away, let's do some monsters for this weeks challenge the kind you would see in the old black and white horror movies and the like.
Draw 'em and post 'em.

Sam-

(EVAN)

I'm pretty sure I'll do more, but this was my initial response to this week's challenge. Marital troubles don't really matter when you're kinda' already dead...

Evan-

(SARAH)

Sam-

(EVAN)

This was what I came up with for this week's challenge. I wanted to change it up a little bit...

Evan-

(SAM)

Here is my contribution to the challenge.

Sam-

(MIKE)

Here's my Black Cat and DareDevil. Hope you enjoy

MRG

(SARAH)

--sarah--

Studio Challenge # 002

In German this weeks challenge would be:
"Die Jetsons"
So this weeks challenge is to draw a charater from Hanna-Barbera's, "The Jetsons".
Do it in your own style, don't feel that you have to stay on model, but you can if you want.
So with that…
"Hijame"
Sam-

(SAM)
Jane his wife…

Sam-

(SARAH)

robots are bad cooks. the jetsons are from the future. therefor, the future has bad food.

--sarah--

(EVAN)

Well, this was my response to the topic...

EVAN-

(MIKE)

Here is my attempt on the Jetsons. Hope you enjoy.

Studio Challenge # 001

Well here we are, first week in October, how bout that…
OK this weeks Sketch Challenge will be entitled;
"My Favorite Childhood SuperHero"
May you pencils be sharp and true.
Sam-

(Sarah)

right. here is my solution to the weekly sketch challenge extravaganza! i drew the penguin....and yes he is more of a super mean person than a super hero. but he dresses so well....

and for good measure and a somewhat super hero...who doesn't like the brave little toaster!!!???

--sarah--

(Evan)

Here's my entry. Aside from Luke Cage (who I'm drawing next), Spider Man was the first superhero I really kept up with growing up. I don't really read the comics now, but I've always loved the character.

EVAN-

(Sam)

Well, of all the Super-Heroes that were ever out there my childhood and probably alltime favorite would have to be Doctor Fate from DC Comics. He was, and still is cool. He was on the first superhero team and had the coolest Super Powers action figure, so here is my contribution to this weeks sketch challenge.

Here are the inks…

Here is a bit o' color for you…

Sam-

(RICK)

I loved the Thundercats when I was a kid. I still do. A Snarf a day keeps the doctor away !

Rick-

(Mike)

Back in the 90's I thought Gambit was the coolest thing around. This is my homage to him. May he return as a cool character soon.

Mike Ransom Getty - Penciler, Inker, Colorist

Hey there, my name is Mike Ransom Getty. I too, am a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design studying Sequential Art with an Animation minor. I'm graduating this year and would love to work in comics. I'm originally from Essex Jct., Vermont. As I stated in my blog, the reason I draw comics probably goes all the way back to when I was a wee young'n playing superheroes with my BFF. He was older, and seeing as how Adam West was older than Burt Ward, he rightfully deserved to be Batman leaving me the dreadful role of Robin. So I draw to make up for never being able to be the superhero I wanted to be as a kid. I draw them to reclaim my youth which was robbed from me... or at least I say that because it makes for a good story. Also, I am proudly the creator of probably the worst comic book character to date: Tooth Brush Boy. Might be putting together a comic for MegaCon, come over and see if I do.

This Invincible zombie cover idea I did recently and probably has been posted for the last time. I think I've worn it out. Working on one of my favorite childhood superheroes right now and can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Sarah Goodreau - Illustrator

hello! this is Sarah Goodreau and i also am one of the little boys in FatMan & LittleBoy COMICS.....even though i am a girl. i attend the Savannah College of Art and Design, majoring in Illustration, although i like to make the small comic story books. my drawing and story telling style is a bit more offbeat. it can best be described as creepy ugly cute. i like writing backwards and use that a lot. i also like alphabets and lists. i like to draw eyes that look like circles. i like a lot of other things too. you will soon see more and all of it.
