Comics, Writing, & Art by Will Strode

Up, up, and crap I forgot to watch

My good buddy Henry and fellow comic-dude loaned me a dvd of the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2. I would love to regail you with my illustrious insights and my hard-edged critiques, but I totally forgot to look up when I watched it because I was busy drawing. So maybe I’ll do that when I watch it again later.

For now, mark your calendars, for this is one of the very few times you will see superheros on my website. Mainly because Lindsey berates me for hours when I draw them.

Kneel before Zod… Zod, kneel before him

I’m sure that scene is a male power fantasy but I still find it attractive

Gambit

Hey i drew a fanarts!

Last night marked the completion of the script for Goodbye Blue Monday’s first ever Christmas special. We’re hoping to have it up for free download on December 21st. So mark your calendars for extra spiritude.

My good friend Sierra requested a piece of fanart of the cagey cajun, Gambit. So I drew her one last night so she would shut her yap hole. Here it is!

Hey look it’s Gambit! How did he get in here?

Return From Zuda Exile

Heeeeey!! I’m back, feeling a little under the weather, but excited that my life can return to normal because my Zuda entry is complete and submitted. I’ll utter a single surreptitious w00t for Operation Codename Thunder Electric and move on.

To some MF’in FANART! I’ve done a whoole lot of drawing over the last couple of months, but nothing I can post right now. So this weekend I decided to put together some fanart for my favorite new obsession: Muramasa! I decided on Kisuke, since I haven’t finished Momohime’s story yet. I promise I’ll draw pretty ninja girls too.

As an added bonus and an apology for being away so long, I’ll walk you through some process. Since I am, however, entirely into instant gratification, here’s the finished piece first. You can hit the jump below if you want to see how I put things together.

Fanart Explosion

I don’t usually get on with the fanart. It’s not that I don’t like drawing other people’s characters, most of my formative years were spent doing just that. But I’m not afforded nearly enough time for art in general, so drawing things that aren’t project-related are always at the bottom of the list.

But yesterday I decided I needed to do some work on perspective and foreshortening and like…badassness. So I got on with the fanart.

Sort of. The first drawing I did was of the world’s original barbarian king, Conan! Then I drew another that started out as Chun Li or something and turned into like…I don’t even know. Let’s call her a really manhandling version of Snow White from Fables. On a zip line because zip lines are made of metal and radical.

Next up, I wanted to post the first picture of fan art I have ever received. An image that has warmed my hard heart in ways that only otter tummies should be able to.

The greatest piece of fanart a man could ever hope to have bestowed upon him. Thank you Nighthawk

Thanks for stopping by.
