Sketchy's

Drawings from a great Dr. Sketchy's last night! We had 4 inexperienced hot models and they did an amazing job! It was a publishing theme, it was quite fun, and I got some good figure practice out of the deal.

Part 2

Well it took me more like several days to get these up, but here is the rest of the work from the comic project.

Comic Art

So I had been working on a comic project in private for a while, collaborating with a writer and lettering guy. Our working relationship has ended now due to differing goals and time constraints but at least I had a good time, parted on good terms, and walked away with some work for my portfolio.

I cannot divulge any details on the plot or characters, but here is some of the work I did, including a few preliminary character sketches. There are also a few partially finished panels here. I will upload more work from this project over the next few days.

I also posted some new stuff to The Hallway Show.

Bjork

Bjork for the Hallway Show.

Alberta Street Fair 2010

I finished this poster for the Alberta Street Fair over the weekend and will start posting them around town tomorrow! I'm glad I got to do this poster, it was a lot of fun. Even though graphic design is not my expertise, I don't think it's too shabby for a last minute project! Plus I got to draw fun stuff like a tall bike.

Dr. Sketchy's

Some artwork from Dr. Sketchy's the other night. 5min-20min poses. The model, Lacey NhicDoom, kicked ass!

new sketches

Some sketchbook sketches I colored in a little, and a piece I did for the Hallway Show of Lone Wolf & Cub. I'm also working on a poster for the Alberta Street Fair that I can post in the next week or so!

Gillian Anderson

I couldn't pass up a Gillian Anderson illustration for this week's Hallway Show. My time-management lately has been awful, working my way back to being productive! Have some sketchbook stuff lying around waiting for some scan + color fun... within the next week I will have new things to share.

Jamython available for purchase!

So hooray! My artwork is now officially published in a novel Jamython written by Kirsten Laulainen! There are 8 pages of illustrations I did for the book (just fyi I did not do the cover art). I previously posted a preview of the art and some words about my experience working with Kirsten on this project.



I am excited to soon receive my copy of this book and would gladly recommend it based on the excerpts I was able to read as inspiration for the art. "This is not just another vampire story...it is [a] shot to the head. Don't think twice."

Photoshop Rework

So I decided to grab an old sketch and use it to practice some Photoshop painting. I normally keep all the pencil line and paint underneath it mostly but for this I'm painting on top of it just to work on a more painterly Photoshop style and experiment with color and brushes/textures.

This piece had been painted in acrylic but I think I kind of killed the fun of the initial sketch. So here's my start for the second attempt!
