Quick Enviromental Drawing

I drew a picture of a world in which creatures lived upon flying whale/catfish creatures that have entire ecosystems on their backs.

 ...yup...this is where my mind goes.

No matter what anyone things though, drawings like this are the backbone for anything I have ever done. Even the characters and environments that were seemingly normal evolved from something fantastic. I believe in starting wild, and then shaving things down to match the project at hand, NOT the other way around. This is actually the type of world I was planning on using for the upcoming game.

Nex page up. Getting schedule prepared for new job.

I've got a new job on the way. That's good for my budged, but bad for available time. Rest assured that I'll find a way to keep things running even while I'm working. With the changes, perhaps things will get updated even more frequently.

Random Batman Stuff

The idea was to have a batman redesign. I messed around with random stuff for a bit, just for fun. I settled on a batman that walked using a stick because I thought it looked like a bat's bone structure. I then looked into bat anatomy and reminded myself that it was actually extended fingers that made up the wings. So in the final design, I tried giving him long nails that he could use as walking sticks for his jacked up legs that are in bracers. All in all, I don't really like it that much. I didn't capture the spirit of the sketch at all. It's a shame really.

Here's the next page

I've started working on the characters for the other comic. While I'm not really bored of this comic, I am looking to create something else when I feel the urge to try something going in a new direction. The zombie comic is still about experimentation, as it has always been, but I feel as though it is establishing its own style, and I consider that the most wonderful thing that's happens to me this year. The feeling of solidifying a world, and the art style along with it, is why I live. It almost brings a tear to my eye. No joke.

Picard in Picasso

This was a quick school assignment that I did in about three hours. I thought it was kind of funny so I went ahead and put it up. Have fun fellow trekkies!

So...I went radio silent...let's talk about that.

Short story: Hard drive failure.

Long story: Due to lack of funds (That I have obtained at this time), I was forced to shut down the last section of the website that include the backup files for the primary sketches for the comic and html code for the site. I recovered the data, via an external hard drive, but the files are quite old and caused a major issue in sequencing the comic. (I.E. it turns out I drew the wrong page.) Next week I will have the comic sorted out once more, with brand new character sketches for other things. I'll also be starting speed painting again, just for giggles. In the mean time I'll share something that I enjoy looking at.

So please accept my apology for the down time, and enjoy this edited photo of a beautiful landscape.

Ah! Tranquil, ain't it?

Anime Study 2

Yep, I'm still on this. I REALLY think it's teaching me a lot about design and color. Plus, the mood of this particular drawing is very interesting. If life was an RPG, I just leveled up. (Forgive the reference.)
