another Samnee swipe-- it's hard to put Bulletproof Beetle away and work on other stuff.

Here's an instance where the whole "bulletproof" part doesn't seem to live up to it's name.

Good Ol' Bulletproof Beetle puttin up his dukes. Today is Dec 1st...this marks the "one month left" point. I am almost done with these gawd-awful daily sketches.

I have to say that I'm a bit worried about my level of comic booking after the daily sketches come to an end. These stupid daily posts are one of the only things keeping me involved. I've all but abandoned all my comic book work lately. A mixture of apathy and defeated feelings when it comes to a "hobby" that eats so much time and money and doesn't give much back.

Hopefully in the new year I'll jump back in and at the very least get the MAM 2011 Annual out and done. Until then, there's 30 more sketches coming your way.

Today's is BpB in a fighting stance. My way of saying BRING IT ON!

Army Beetle action figure...y'know, if BpB was actually in a book and big enough to beCOME an action figure. "DeepSeaDive Beetle with real squirt action" up next.

Danny during his WWII days, his costume blended pretty heavily with grunt fatigues as there were no costume repair shops on the front.

hopefully it looks cool and not like a fancy pantsy fairy floating around. He's supposed to be hanging onto something (that I didn't draw) and reaching for the falling scarab stone. I realize now he looks like he's doing kung-fu wire work.

Danny in some actual chainmail that hints at his future costume look.

Also, i FINALLY landed on a Scarab Stone design that I'm happy with. I'd always had it look like too much of a logo. If this stone has been around for millenia, then it would make sense that it would be a pretty solid shape (no thin legs poking out to get broken off). This gives the beetle shape while still being solid enough and allows it to look carved too.

here's BpB floating for some reason...or jumping on the trampoline.

One is more likely to happen than the other.

Sketch-A-Day 262

some WWII Beetle action, maybe he's lobbing a grenade or something...anything except posing for a discuss throw.
