It’s time for me to change my blogging habits to better reflect my current interests and ambitions. As of this moment I am exiting the business of commenting on current events and politics. Instead, “The Bill Myers Creations Blog!” will be solely dedicated to, perish the thought, promoting Bill Myers Creations and my upcoming self-published comic, The Victory Streak. (more…)

I just got back from a two-day corporate training in Plymouth, which is just outside of Detroit. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my pencils and sketchbook. Watch for more sketches in a day or two once I get caught up on everything.

Anyway, while I was at the airport waiting for my luggage to come my way via the baggage carousel, an interesting thought occurred to me. I began to wonder how people might have reacted had I, upon seeing my bag, put my hands on my hips and cried out, “SHIT! Why didn’t that DETONATE?”

Okay, while I’m putting the finishing touches on the first issue’s script, I thought I’d play around with different looks for The Victory Streak and market test them with you all.

Here he is with a jacket: 

What do you think?

UPDATED: I redrew the figure to correct some problems with the construction, lighting, and folds, and to make it more legible when scanned. Enjoy! 

Hey kids, sorry I’ve been gone awhile. To make up for it, here is the first ever sketch of The Victory Streak in action!

I’m afraid the scan is kinda crappy. After I scanned the drawing, I tried inking it and remembered that my inking skills are waaayyyy behind my meager penciling skills. I’m going to “recover” it by tracing over it on a clean sheet using my lightbox, and see if I can tighten it up with a darker pencil that will scan better. If it’s appreciably better, I’ll post it.

Gotta go. I understand a friend is having a crisis of confidence and I need to set him straight.
