As some of you know, this past week, the site has been going up and down. Some of that had to do with the crazy weather we were having in Northern Virginia at the time and some of it had to do with the server directory going bonkers – and really, it really might have been a combination of events.

In any case, the Capes & Babes site experienced its first real big site crisis and for that, I apologize. The odd thing is, I was actually ahead in terms of a strip buffer and I still have one. So, even though the site was down, there are currently a lot of strips I’m ready to upload – including tomorrow’s strip (2/4/08 – which also happens to be my brother’s birthday. Happy B-day, Brian).

So, I wanted to somehow make a positive out of a negative so I’m letting MY bad luck be YOUR good luck by offering you a few character sketches that I drew and inked. These are in the same style as my Kang Twitter promotional PDF only they aren’t high rez. These character sketches will be in my Convention sketchbook and will eventually be hand colored – just like my Kang illustration was. So, click on one of the sketches below and a larger image will appear in a pop-up window. You’re free to color it, save it and send them around the ‘net if you like. If you do color them though, I would love for you to send me a digital copy so I can put it in a fan art section.

The characters below are Bushmaster, Jennifer Kale and Firebird – all old school Marvel characters. Enjoy!
